Ginger Scott is a Go-to author to me. I expect each release like it’s christmas, and each time she got me. This time, well, … It was just a remarkable story about a boy from West End and a girl who would catch his heart, with American football in the background. But don’t let the title of the book mislead you, it was so much more than football, it’s about families values, tolerance,respect and honor.

Through the video camera and eyes of Reagan, we follow these bunch of young people, in college, when mixed feelings, appearance and the feeling of belonging to a group at an age when you’re looking for yourself was your everyday life.

This total immersion into this life, when the camera captured all the flaws and the rush of emotion was mesmerizing. Behind all of it, started a beautiful story of friendship and love, the kind of making you stuck to your seat, not by the overrating actions but just by the overwhelming emotions, when each character got his role and part.

As you might guess I had a freaking huge crush for the sweet and kinda bad ass boy with dimples, Nicolas Medina. From the first moment I met this guy, I was already sold … Insta crush!

I loved how the author created all this atmosphere and characters’ background. A strong boy with his big heart fighting for his ideals, just a little bit rebellious, living in the “wrong” side of the city, where ugly and tragic things happened, where your safety is not guaranteed, when you had to stay out of trouble.

What about the girl?? Reagan … My kind of girl. Full of life, with her outgoing personality, the fire under the fire, but totally defenseless when it comes to Nico, them had history but not romantically but a game of foreplay and a constant battle to prove their point.

This fierce girl who saw all the sacrifices made by her family to be on top, football legacy, tradition was their life, until a boy from West end was given a chance to break all the rules and all the walls.

I became a stronger football fan thanks to Ginger Scott. Why? Just by the way she described the beauty of this sport, like a choreographed dance, with a way to make you feel, without restriction. Values and hard work that made the players proud. A family. Home. This feeling of being part of something great. Obviously everything is not just fun and the part about the hard work, pressure and very tough times was also well done. How tiring it could be, how powerful people are, when sometimes influence and money could make it all.

Mostly, the romance part was the icing on the cake, really!!! The bluntness, boldness and passionate moments got me, moved me, captured  me. A part of innocence and naivety that melt my heart. When these two opposites collided, both worlds turned upside down and I was so pleased to see how strong and intense each moment was, how a touch could give you chills, how much the words could warm your heart, and I freaking swooned … Damn Nico and his dimples.
