Never play a game you can't win.
For Cain Kent, that rule is golden. Losing is not in his vocabulary, and up until now, everything has come easy. Football, school, girls ... his charm-laced ego may just be bigger than Texas itself.
The competition he started freshman year with his friends, to make ten notches each in their bedposts by graduation day, is practically in the bag. One more to go, and then it's off to college fame and eventually, the big time. Attachments aren't something he wants to form, but when the quiet new girl challenges him in front of his classmates, his curiosity is peaked. She would be the perfect final score, and what fun to break her in the process.
Too bad Harper Posy has no intention of being just another warm body, especially to the bad boy quarterback. Even if he does quote Forster and Huxley when no one is listening. An aspiring author herself, Cain and his hidden soft side are dangerous to her heart. She's seen men ruin her mother's dreams time and again, and she's determined to fly far away as soon as she has that diploma in her fist.
But as the school year’s end looms closer, both realize they didn’t quite understand the rules to begin with. Is winning a dirty bet worth the gamble when the stakes, or the other’s heart in this case, are so high?
Harper is the one girl who isn't up for playing games. And she just might make Cain lose. Everything.

The Tenth Girl was an amazingly
fun and sweet story. Carrie Aarons writes an amazing young adult sports
romance. Cain was a super naughty football player with everything laid out
perfectly before him. I adored Harper and her super sassy ways. The
strong-willed fun bantered new girl really rocked Cain’s world. I’m gonna be
honest, I really didn’t like Cain to start with… he was a bit meaner than I
expected and the bet thing really bugged me. Thankfully, he was redeemable.
Thankfully, there was Harper.
This was one highly swoonable
story… one of the things Ms. Aarons can do like no one else! Ms. Aaron’s writes
so smoothly that her stories are like reading pure silk… doesn’t that just
sounds delicious?! I do love a good mean girl/boy story, especially when they
come back as a likable character. I love the bit of sports added in. I enjoyed immensely
the banter and fun these two characters had together.
I
received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased
Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my
opinions are just that... my opinions.
