Publisher's summary

There are two types of people in high school: the ones you can date and the ones you can’t. Unfortunately for me, I’m the latter.

Even though I’m around hot football players every afternoon, they are not allowed to date me. If they even come close to flirting, my dad, Coach “The Boss” Davis, makes them run laps around the field until they puke. Nothing scares off a boy more than the threat of physical pain.

Not only has he forbidden me to date anyone at all, he’s even made me the football team’s water girl so he can keep tabs on me. Apparently, overprotective dad is a fabulous guy deterrent. Outdoor shops should find a way to bottle it and sell it. They’d make a killing.

What Dad doesn’t know is that I spend every last second of those two blissful hours of practice in the scorching California heat staring at Tyson Blake. He is the epitome of perfection in a six-foot-two, incredibly toned, smells-good-even-when-he-sweats senior body. And when he smiles, angels sing. Literally.

And Dad hates him.

It feels a bit cliche to say I fell for the one guy who would send Dad’s already high blood pressure over the the top, but it’s true. There’s something about Tyson. Something he’s trying to hide. But I can see through his cocky persona, and I know there’s something more.

Make a movie

Make a movie, a movie for this book would be so good, so you need to make a movie

Great!!

So cute! Quick listen, you'll want to keep it going. The narrator has a good, non-annoying voice.

Super cute and heartwarming

This was a heartwarming story that also made me tear up a few times. Life can be hard and life isn’t peachy for a lot of people. There is an ideal family situation but many times that ideal falls short of reality. It doesn’t mean that happiness can’t be found. And that is the underlying theme of this book in my opinion. Two teenagers trying to make the best of their situation. Tyson has a mother that is drunk more often then she is sober and has a small sister to help care for. Destiny’s mother left her dad for another man when she was younger and she hadn’t gotten over the abandonment issues. Destiny and Tyson like each other but Destiny’s Dad is the football coach and their is a no talking to my daughter let alone dating her rule. Can they move forward under such circumstances. The only thing I didn’t like about this book was the lying that Destiny does to her Dad. She knows it is wrong but she sneaks behind his back anyway justifying her behavior. The truth comes out but not because she was willing to open up and be honest before she was caught. Under the circumstances there was no punishment for her behavior which seemed unrealistic.
I had this book on Audible and as an ebook and I listened to a third of it and read the rest. I love audiobooks but it just happened to be more convenient at the time due to my location to read most of it. I liked the narrator so that wasn’t an issue.

Very Young Adult and Underdeveloped Storyline

I knew this was going to be about high schoolers but I didn’t know it’d be this intense. The main character acts like she’s in middle school with her emotions and the characters were underdeveloped. This book had so much potential.

A Good Young Adult Book

This book was pretty good but I guess not good enough for someone my age. I'm 24 and I love reading Young Adult books from time-to-time. This one fell a bit flat for me since it felt a bit underdeveloped for my tastes. But I feel like it was a wonderful, sweet book for someone a bit younger than me.

Loved it!!

I loved the story line! This is a great book if you like romance novels! Would recommend!

Cute Story

This is a cute YA Romance, Very sweet, I don't remember any bad language or anything that would make it pg-13. I enjoyed the rules and how the title played into the story. The narrator did a great job.
