YA
After Derek gets kicked out of boarding school, he reluctantly agrees to move to Chicago with his stepmother, Brandi. There, he's instantly drawn to Ashtyn (Brandi's sister), a feminine but tough football player--and vice versa. Even with a recognizable formula (especially to fans of the author's Perfect Chemistry trilogy) and two-dimensional characters, Elkeles manages to make the romance sizzle.
