 JR "Ace" Anderson is starting over during his senior year. Effectively kicked off the team at Western State, he transferred to Southern in order to continue playing QB for one more year. He has sworn off having anything to do with women attached to the team in any way in order to clean up his image for this final year. No teammates' sisters and no coaches' daughters. 
 Bryant Johnson only seeks to make other people happy. Each project she undertakes means someone, someday will have a model boyfriend rather than the jerks they were before she molded them into the men they should be. She knows Ace is a perfect fit as her next project, if she doesn't fall for him in the process. 
 From the very beginning, Bryant's handling of Ace is different than her other projects. It was fun to watch her try to figure out how to get him to buy into the relationship without losing herself in it, especially with as hard as he fought her on it. As the differences became clear, it was also fun to watch as Ace realized Bryant was in fact his coach's daughter, breaking his number one rule before the season was even in full swing. 
 Ace has the added challenge of finding his place within a new team. He has a hard time fitting in and making friends, even when he tries to put himself out there and when he doesn't find success he keeps to himself. Watching that transition added another angle to the story outside the relationship. 
 I loved watching these two develop and grow. They each had things they needed to learn about themselves and ultimately, that knowledge changes each of them for the better. I love when characters change over the course of a book, but especially when they find changes that better themselves not because of the other person, but because they see the real benefit to the change. 
 This was a fun, sweet story told from both perspectives. Though most of the side characters are new with the school transfer, by the end I was drawn into the team at Southern and interested in a new group of players. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
