Untouchable by Sam Mariano
4.0

Zoey gets cornered in an empty classroom after her report on a football player's unsavory conduct gets him banned from the team his senior year. The guys cornering her have ulterior motives and she finds herself in a power struggle with the quarterback of the team. He wanted revenge, but now he has a fascination with Zoey and turns their bully victim storyline into an all-consuming whirlwind romance.. against Zoey's wishes. She just wants to graduate and go to college far away, but with Carter's unique brand of love caging her in, Zoey comes out fighting.

I loved Zoey and Carter's dynamic. At first, I thought I would have a hard time getting into a bully romance, having been bullied in high school myself. However, I was sucked in from the very beginning and finished the entire story in a few hours. Zoey was fiesty and brave. Carter was smart and took what he wanted from the beginning. Their unique and fast paced romance had me furiously flipping pages through dinner. I thought it wouldn't be for me, but now, I'm questioning my sanity because I loved it.
