In this second book in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cora Carmack's New Adult, Texas-set Rusk University series, which began with All Lined Up, a young woman discovers that you can't only fight for what you believe in ...sometimes you have to fight for what you love Dylan fights for lost causes. Probably because she used to be one. Environmental issues, civil rights, education-you name it, she's probably been involved in a protest. When her latest cause lands her in jail for a few hours, she meets Silas Moore. He's in for a different kind of fighting. And though he's arrogant and not at all her type, she can't help being fascinated with him. Yet another lost cause. Football and trouble are the only things that have ever come naturally to Silas. And it's trouble that lands him in a cell next to do-gooder Dylan. He's met girls like her before-fixers, he calls them, desperate to heal the damage and make him into their ideal boyfriend. But he doesn't think he's broken, and he definitely doesn't need a girlfriend trying to change him.
Until, that is, his anger issues and rash decisions threaten the only thing he really cares about, his spot on the Rusk University football team. Dylan might just be the perfect girl to help. Because Silas Moore needs some fixing after all.
Another great addition to this Rusk University series. Silas and Dylan were both interesting characters that I came to love over the course of the book. I enjoyed them together and apart. It was great to see the growth in Silas' character from the first book and then throughout this one. He was my favorite part of this book and understanding his background, what made him tick and what drove him in life really shed light on what I was bothered by with him in All Lined Up.
Dylan was a great character as well. I loved seeing her chip away at Silas until he was the person she always thought he could be and seeing the character development within her own character was pretty sweet too. She came a long way from the shy girl Silas first met and I thought she was perfect for Silas.
I cannot wait for Nell and Torres' book. I'm so freaking anxious.
