4.5 starsJenna is a dedicated tutor to athletes after tragedy strikes her family.  She has made it her mission to help those she can through school and it has been smooth sailing up until she agrees to tutor the star quarterback of the football team, Zach.  A self proclaimed nerd, Jenna knows she doesn't have a shot with him and after spending time with him, he is so maddening she doesn't really want one...that is until a stolen kiss rocks her foundation.Zach is reeling from his brother betrayal and his breakup and everyone keeps telling him he just needs a rebound girl.  The more girls throw themselves at him, the more he knows that is not what he wants.  Because what he wants more and more every day is the girl that is the total opposite of everything he has ever had.When Jenna and Zach are forced to confront their feelings, will they give each other a shot or throw in the towel?I wasn't sure how I was going to like this one.  I couldn't wait to read it but the author did such a great job of making you not like Zach in the first book while Emily and Dylan got together, she has a large mountain to climb to make him like able in this one.  The story starts right where the first book ends, with Zach and Emily fighting except everything is from Zach's POV.  At first, he was the self absorbed jerk I remember him being from the first book and I really didn't like him....then, the more I read from his POV, he started to grow on me.  Big props to the author for the turn around...it's not easy to turn a villain into a hero.Jenna...what can I say, she is an awesome character.  Flawed and self conscious but strong and sassy, she gives as good as she gets and she is the perfect match for Zach.My thoughts:Quick hook or slow starter? 4 (it took me awhile to warm to Zach but one I did, I was hooked)Character development: 4.5Level of Romance between characters: 4.5Passion/Heat level: 4 (chemistry between these two is off the charts but there is a lot of denial.  When they do finally get together, the scene is quick and not very detailed)Angst/Heartbreak: 4.5 (if you have read the first book, you know what we are starting with and there are a lot of obstacles.)Cliffhanger?:  No, this is second in the series but you get the assumption of a HEA.  Hope there is more to come for these couples.Overall, I really enjoyed it.  Definitely recommend checking out this series and looking forward to more from this author.I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
