Wild Cards (Wild Cards #1)

Wild Cards  (Wild Cards #1) by Simone Elkeles

After getting kicked out of boarding school, bad boy Derek Fitzpatrick has no choice but to live with his ditzy stepmother while his military dad is deployed. Things quickly go from bad to worse when he finds out she plans to move them back to her childhood home in Illinois. Derek’s counting the days before he can be on his own, and the last thing he needs is to get involved with someone else’s family drama.

Ashtyn Parker knows one thing for certain--people you care about leave without a backward glance. A football scholarship would finally give her the chance to leave. So she pours everything into winning a state championship, until her boyfriend and star quarterback betrays them all by joining their rival team. Ashtyn needs a new game plan, but it requires trusting Derek—someone she barely knows, someone born to break the rules. Is she willing to put her heart on the line to try and win it all?

My Review--

I listened to this book from the library audio system.  It was pretty good book.  It was a lot of high school BS.  This pretty much annoyed the SHIT out of me.  I felt sorry for both Ashtyn and Derek for the fact that their Mother's weren't around.  Once Derek's grandmother came into the picture, the book got quite comical.  She made the book that much better.  In the end, after he came clean about everything in his past and finally had a GOAL, it was awesome.  I love how and all the things he did for Ashtyn.  For her not having anyone in her life she can count on, Derek definitely proved himself!!
