I knew better than to fall for him. There was a reason I had a no dating rule. It only leads to heartbreak.
And no one had ever tempted me to break it—until Jason. I was close to giving in, to trusting him enough to be more than friends who stood a little to close and looked at each other a little too long. But then he started dating her.
Turns out, my rule didn’t protect me from getting my heart broken.
But something is weird. He doesn’t look at her like he looks at me. And I’m going to figure out why.

My Review: 4.5 Stars

I love a good, wholesome YA romance and this one hit that sweet spot. Amber "The Hammer," is a very driven young lady--she works extra hard at school and volleyball and has no time for guys. But when Jason rescues her, she can't help but be intrigued by this bad boy newcomer.

My favorite thing is when characters are able to dig past the surface and truly discover who they are, see those around them in a different light, and help each other become the best version of themselves and this story definitely delivered in all those aspects. They prove that while seemingly completely opposite, commonalities can always be discovered, bonds can be formed, and rules can be changed.

Amber and Jason are strong characters, yet they each have soft spots for the underdog and a passion for their sports. I loved watching the sparks develop through friendship, on the beach, and at school. This is a great series for YA lovers!

Content: mild romance; mild violence
