Jessica knew he was trouble. Too bad her heart didn't get the message.

Christian Black was the ultimate bad boy. He'd spent time in juvie. And Jessica's father was the deputy county attorney. He would freak if he knew she was spending time with him. Too bad she has no choice. Being paired up with him for a science project wasn't her idea.

But when he touches her the world spins and her heart melts. She's got it bad for the bad boy.

Christian likes Jessica, but can't allow himself to fall for her. He's leaving Rockford as soon as he can get his sister to a safe place. He's got plans, and they don't include falling in love.

My Review: 4 Stars

Christian and Jessica are assigned as partners for a science project and two people couldn't be more opposite--he's trouble and she's a goody-goody. And sometimes, opposites attract.

Jessica's parents would have driven me crazy when I was a teen. Her mom is always on the road as a folk singer and is so lackadaisical, but her dad is the most controlling and overbearing parent that ever existed! No wonder she wants to rebel when she has the chance of hanging out with the resident bad boy. As for Christian, he's definitely misunderstood, and I loved getting to know him and his motives, especially as he loosens Jessica up a bit.

As a parent, I can't condone the sneaking around and lying, but my inner younger self loved this story and it's opposites-attract don't-judge-the-outside-of-a-person moral to this book. The romance was sweet and slightly sizzling, since it was dangerous and forbidden. This series really satisfies my inner teen, and I'm looking forward to more.

Content: mild talk of crimes/violence; mild romance
