It's not all bad - the plot is reasonably quick to move along, the descriptions of Rain's football playing (that's soccer, rather than American football!) entertaining, and despite being the first in a trilogy, it can be read as a stand-alone - apparently future books will deal with Rain's sister and her father's goddaughter. There's so many wonderful teen romances out there, though, that I'm unlikely to return to Courtenay for the second and third books.
We also have a review of [[Highland Storms by Christina Courtenay]]. My favourite teen romances of recent years are [[Skin Deep by Laura Jarratt]], [[Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry]] and [[Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley]]. [[Irresistible by Liz Bankes]] was also shortlisted for Romantic Novelist Association Young Adult Romantic Novel 2014.
