Claire starts a new high school her senior year because her dad took a job as the new football coach.  She’s forced to leave behind her friends and an ex-boyfriend who she thought she’d be with forever but who dumped her when she moved.  When school starts, she meets Adam, the womanizing quarterback, who she wants nothing to do with, but can’t seem to avoid.  Adam always gets what he wants until he meets Claire, who doesn’t immediately fall at his feet like all the other girls.  While reluctant to believe it, eventually, they realize that they need each other.  While it does feature seniors, it could easily be read by younger teens, as it doesn’t feature any sex or illicit substances.  This book doesn’t bring anything new to the romance genre, but it’s a satisfyingly sweet high school love story.
