"That girl isn't just trouble of the not-a-team-player, not-a-reliable-runner variety. She's trouble of the devious, manipulative, too-f***ing-hot-for-her-own good variety. She's the kind of girl who causes trouble merely by existing, and then makes sure to cause more.
And the last thing I need right now is more trouble."

A failing farm.
His father’s debt.
And a struggling college track team.
Will Langstrom has too many responsibilities, and the last thing he needs is Olivia Finnegan, a beautiful but troubled new transfer student.

A smart mouth.
A strong right hook.
And a secret that could destroy her.
Olivia is her own worst enemy, with a past she can’t seem to escape, and the last person she wants help from is a cocky track coach she can never seem to please.
Refusing to be pushed away, Will is determined to save her.
And determined to resist an attraction that could destroy them both.

REVIEW

"She's the kind of girl who causes trouble merely by existing, and then makes sure to cause more." Im still reeling about this book, its sad and bit disturbing. You can't really blamed Olivia for putting her walls so high, after all what she had suffered and witnessed when she was just a child. She's one hell of a tough cookie. As for Will I loved how he supports and care for Olivia even if its prohibited, and I admit there are times I just want to shake him up to fight his love and just be with Olivia, but at the same time Its understandable, considering his her track coach and had a snotty girlfriend. I want to dislike his actions towards Olivia, its quite exhausting and frustrating at times, I'm just happy he finally made up his mind and get the courage to fight for her. All is well. what I adore most in this book was the subplot behind Olivia s state of mind, its somewhat unparalleled and only adds a thrilling flavor to the story. RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
