![]() So much of the book they hold off saying anything to him until after Ryker plays the big game. The second being that Hunter and Aurora’s father is racist and will refuse that Aurora and the black Ryker dates. Their first hurdle is ensuring they communicate well with one another. On top of Aurora, I love the book for the real life situations that we still do, unfortunately, find ourselves in. Instead he just says that he wishes he paid attention to the sign language classes from when they were kids and vows to learn it for her. He finds out when introducing himself to her on her first day, when she was alone, that she is deaf and this isn’t an issue for him. Don’t believe in love at first sight? Well, Abbi makes you believe because one Rkyer sees Aurora, everything changes for him. Ryker has been known in past books for playing the field and this begins to roll over into this book. She consistently fought back against Hunter’s protectiveness. I found the mixture of communication methods that she chose to use really nice and I loved her spunk. I couldn’t help but think that this is finally being done, and why there are not more characters in fiction with such characteristics. When this book was announced, having a deaf girl play the main character made me so excited to read it. The issues at hand and the characters were just plain amazing. I feel like I could go on and on about the issues that I had with this book, but I'm going to stop while I'm ahead.I haven't been able to find anything about if this series is going to continue but, I can’t say that I would be disappointed if it didn't.Ībbi Glines blew her Field Party series out of the water with this one! I once said book 1 and 3 were the best but I think this one officially takes the top. I’m supposed to believe that a full-blown racist could just get over the fact that his daughter was dating a black guy in the process of a week. It was wrong, but it's still something that needs to be talked about. Don’t seem to matter that I make more money than he does or that my ancestors were some of the first to settle in this town." ![]() "She’s a white girl with a father who doesn’t want her with a black man It’s typical around here. Her father is a racist and it brought up topics about race and living in a small town. The only thing about this book that I liked was that she tried to tackle issues about race. However, I can't deal with them falling for each other in two seconds flat. I can deal with insta love if a book specifies that it will be about that. Y'all, I was supposed to believe that these two fell in love and had all these feelings in 5 days? No thanks. ![]() My eyes should be stuck in the back of my head from all of the times that I rolled them. This entire book takes place over the span of two weeks I believe. While this wasn’t as terrible as Losing the Field, it wasn’t anything remarkable either. Maybe because I’m waiting for one to capture my heart like the first one did? Who knows. I don’t know why I still keep picking up books in this series. But can their relationship endure the turmoil of rumors and prejudice? When she meets Ryker Lee, the two of them spark an instant and intense chemistry, one that proves to be controversial not only because of Ryker’s reputation as a player, but also because of Aurora and Hunter’s father’s bigoted views about who Aurora can and can’t date.Īurora and Ryker know in their hearts that they are meant for each other. Just because she is deaf does not mean people have to treat her differently. She’s grateful that her twin brother, Hunter, is star of the football team and can help her adjust to her new school, but she’s not grateful at how overprotective he is over every person she meets. And when he meets the new girl at school, his world totally changes…Īurora McClay is new to Lawton. Despite this, a small part of him wonders if there’s more to life than parties and meaningless hookups-and if football even means as much to him as it does to his fellow teammates. ![]() Ryker Lee is finally enjoying his senior year-he has great friends, hangs out with hot girls, and is on track to get a football scholarship that will set him up for college.
