Goodreads Synopsis
Reluctant cheerleader Dallas Bryan has a problem on her hands—and his name is Drayton Lahey.
Ever since the hot star quarterback of the high school football team hit her car with his motorcycle, he has the annoying ability to get under her skin, making Dallas think about Drayton way more than she should . . . in all the ways that she shouldn't.
But Dallas has one goal—to pursue her dance-school dreams in in California—and no one, not even a hard-bodied, green-eyed football god, will stop her. As the tension between Drayton and Dallas grows thicker, the lines are getting blurred, and all she wants is to come undone under his touch.
But this thing between Dallas and Drayton could cost her her dreams . . . if he doesn't break her heart first.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
All Dallas Bryan wants is to dance, but at her school she's resigned herself to the cheer team, until she can escape for her dream school, CalArts. She doesn't want any complications, and is fine with just her brother Nathan, and best friend Gabby, for company. But when the quarterback and star of the school, Drayton Lahey, literally crashes into her, it seems fate has another idea. As her feelings grow, will she still aim for her dream of California, or will her heart take her in another direction?
Right, I'm going to start off by saying this wasn't a bad book, per se, but it read very much like a CW teen drama, with all the angst and not much of a plot. I never really jelled with any of the characters, and found them to be really obnoxious, over the top, and wholly fake. I think some teens would enjoy this YA/NA book, but for me, I was rolling my eyes a little too much throughout the whole thing.
