First and Goal

First and Goal

Kata Cuic2016
Eva Papageorgiou has one goal: to make it through her senior year of high school unseen and unscathed. But when her plans to stay out of the limelight are derailed by rampant rumors, she's forced to change tactics. She'll keep everyone at arm's length. Especially boys. So when she's partnered up in class with the hot as hell varsity quarterback, she pushes and pushes. Until he pushes back. Rob Falls just wants to fit in. With his teammates, with his friends, with everyone. His image as the quintessential jock makes him feel like a fraud. Especially since it's the only reason all the girls at school want him, except the one girl he dreams about. When he's forced to tutor the class pariah, he realizes it's time to get in the game instead of faking it. She's going to help him get exactly what he wants, whether she knows it or not. Life doesn't come with a playbook, but Rob knows this could be the most important play he'll ever make. First and Goal is book one in The Moving the Chains series. It ends on a cliffhanger. The Moving the Chains series is recommended for mature readers (age 16+) due to strong language, sexual content, and potential emotional triggers.

This book has been on my radar for quite awhile and I finally got to read it. I have to say it was a lot different than I expected it to be, but in a good way. I loved Eva and Rob. Especially the prologue reading about them meeting one another the first day of Freshman year. I really hoped we would read they became the best of friends, but life happened. We start at the beginning of senior year and they end up partners in biology. Things have happened and Eva doesn't trust guys that much. Especially jocks. Rob hasn't had the easiest time in highschool with a lot of rumors going around that aren't true. The same is the case for Eva. Rob has always felt something for he, but can he change her mind and will the Bio Effect influence them at all? It was an interesting journey to read and I liked that there wasn't insta love. The trust really had to grow and it turned in to a good friendship! I haven't read development like that in quite some time. This book also covers what happens a lot in high school. How rumors are spread and how much it really changes someone's life. Whether true or not, gossip is pretty damaging. I really wish kids these days would realize that! The only reason this book didn't get five stars was because I missed a little interaction between Eva and her friends and more of their home life at times. The way this book ended though makes me want the second book right away! More descriptive review to come on thebookdutchesses.wordpress.com
