Synopsis:
He's not perfect, but he's all I want...
I’m your average girl at your average high school, trying to figure out my place in life. After catching my now ex-boyfriend messing around with my now ex-best friend, I’ve made some big changes. No more band, no more backstabbing friends and no more boring old life. Now I have new friends, a new job and new interests.
But there’s a certain someone who’s interested in me, and I don’t get it. Jordan Tuttle could have anyone he wants. He’s the most popular boy in school. Rich, gorgeous, smart and the star quarterback, he’s perfect. Yet he acts like he wants no one else but…me.
So despite my fears and doubt, I let him get close. Probably too close. I discover that he’s not so perfect after all, but it doesn’t matter. I’m falling for him, even though he runs so hot and cold. I know someday he’s going to break my heart.
And I’m going to let him.

My Review:
Teenage
drama, high school, football, friends, love and heartbreak. There was a
lot included in this book but what I loved most were the conversations
between Amanda and Jordan. Jordan was such a gentleman and really payed
attention to Amanda. He stole my heart from the beginning. *swoon*
The Story:
Amanda
is an average teenage girl and even though she hasn't been with the
nerds she is far from being with the popular crowd at school. When the
most popular boy, star quarterback of the football team, gorgeous Jordan
Tuttle shows interested in her, she is cautious as to why he wants her.
She doesn't see herself as pretty and the rumors about Tuttle with his
previous girls have her question his intentions towards her and makes
her doubt his seriousness. Though Amanda can't deny that his kisses make
her weak in the knees and she can't form a coherent thought while his
lips are on hers. Her history with boys or rather her only relationship
so far had a horrible ending and she isn't sure she can trust Jordan.
Will Amanda give Jordan a chance? Can they both give in to their
desires? And even if, can their ongoing passion be enough?
Thoughts:
I
liked Amanda's character the most in the first book and was so excited
for her story. I absolutely loved this book even though I rarely read
those kinds of books but I loved her for being tough and standing her
ground when others were mean to her and tried to degrade her. She was
honest, fun and she cared about others. Amanda's a lovely girl and
didn't do mean though when she said something bad in the heat of the
moment, she felt awful afterwards. She reminded me of myself in so many
ways.
At first I was a bit frustrated at Amanda because she
wouldn't give Jordan a chance when I would have jumped him already at
that time. Even though I understood why she didn't trust Jordan Tuttle
or any boy for that matter I still felt really sorry for him because of
how she pushed him away all the time and hurt his feelings. He never did
anything wrong and she could have at least tried and given him the
benefit of the doubt.
Oh I loved Jordan. He was sweet and
determined though he was also troubled and had shadows lurking overhead
that made him retreat from others sometimes. Jordan's character was more
complex than I thought. I believed this would be a nice teenage story
with lots of drama and love and a HEA, and we got a few of that but to
my utter shock there was a cliffhanger instead of the awaited conclusion
to their story.
This book made me think back to my first love and all the drama that
came with it. I rooted for Jordan from the beginning, or rather since
the first book though I liked this book a lot more than the first. I
loved the characters and I wanted to hug Jordan and never let him go.
He's mine *hehe*
The open end was a surprise for me and
so was Jordan's story. I didn't expect the troubles in his life and my
heart ached for him. I hope for the next book to come out soon because I
really want more of Jordan Tuttle. I can't believe that we have to wait
for the end of their story!
