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.
Take one shell of a girl, add one broken boy, mix them together and you get a great little romance.
This RU book focuses on our resident bad boy, Silas, and our straight laced activist, Dylan. This book made me fall in love with Silas. I really hated him after book 1, but in this book, we uncover his layers and find out what makes him tick. He evolves and determines what is important to him. Dylan is new, but I loved her immediately. You could tell how fiercely loyal she was from the get-go. The two of them together was so sweet. I also liked that we got to know a bunch of the other players better. The RU football community is growing for me and I cannot help, but want to know more about them.
They all need romance - Zay, Teo, Ryan, Stella, even Matt. I would read them all
