FROM ENDZONE TO FRIENDZONE...
Senior Nick Moody is the second string quarterback on Roosevelt High School’s championship football team. He’s crushed on Mia for years, but she doesn’t know he exists. It’s time to come off the bench and into the game. Nick refuses to graduate without getting the girl or the glory.
Mia Ashlock is the remarkably kind cheer captain. She’s a yes girl, and her penchant for people pleasing always leads to bad relationships. After being humiliated in a very public dumping, her teammates decide to break her bad habit with a ban on boyfriends.
When Nick sees a poster, advertising cheer tryouts, he has a crazy idea: quit football and become a cheerleader. It’s perfect! He can get close to Mia and steal the spotlight, using his true and hidden talent—gymnastics. Nick and Mia have instant chemistry, but it does him little good. If Mia’s zero dating rule weren’t bad enough, the team treats him less like boyfriend material and more like one of the girls. Breaching the friendzone will be much harder than he thought.
Content: This book contains kissing along with limited/mild swearing and minimal inuendo/crude humor. No explicit language or references to sex.

My Review: 5 StarsThis is one of those feel-good sweet high school romances that totally took me back in time. Daniels has a talent for creating a realistic teen scene with believable characters who my teenage self wants to be friends with.Nick's football career doesn't seem to be taking in off the bench much, so he decides to try out for the cheerleading team, since he's a great tumbler. That and it will get him closer contact with his crush. Okay...what kind of high school boy has the confidence to break the social barriers and stereotypes? He's the first male to try out and it's pretty groundbreaking, especially as he deals with teasing a lot. So when you add that to the fact that when he is within range of his crush, he acts completely normal and starts as friends, well, wow! This guy is a man with some self control and knows just how to go after what he wants!As for Mia, the co-head cheerleader...she's not your typical girl. In fact, this whole team is full of personality and loyalty, and although there is one who is a little brash, they're a group of kind, fun, and dedicated girls. I adored Mia and the way she grows from her experiences.A slow-burn romance, all full of sparks and subtle chemistry, is my favorite and this story is definitely enchanting. I enjoyed the way everything played out and loved the secondary characters too, as they really added to the book. I hope Sean gets his own story, hint hint. This one was so much fun!Content: mild romance; mild innuendo/crude talk; mild language.
