Playing to Win (Trouble with Tomboys Series, #2)

by Stephanie Street

[Jeff Sexton]

Solid YA Romance. I came into this book unfamiliar with Street, but very familiar with the author of the first book in this series - Maggie Dallen - and this book keeps much of the same feel I am used to from Dallen's work. To the level that it is almost unclear as to whether Street's style is just so similar to Dallen's or if the books were heavily coordinated amongst the authors. Though this isn't a bad thing in any way, and indeed was a bit of a comfort. Overall you can expect a fun, fast paced romance with some angst (though far from emo levels) and some humor and some minor conflict at the back of the book just before the happily ever after - and a well executed one at that. Very much recommended.
