Goodreads Synopsis:

Ryan lowers his lips to my ear. "Dance with me, Beth."

"No." I whisper the reply. I hate him and I hate myself for wanting him to touch me again....

"I dare you..."

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....

Why?:

I am rather excited for this book to come out. I read the first one not too long ago and absolutely loved it, so I’m really hoping that this one is just as good. I’ve heard some not-so-great things about it, but I’m trying not to let that get me down. I’m sticking to my optimistic hope that it’s going to be great. It should be arriving in the mail in a couple of weeks, and I will probably start it really quickly, so I suppose I’ll find out (relatively) soon.

Also, what do you guys think of that cover? It doesn't really spark any form of intense feelings for me. I actually kind of don't like it. Not just 'cause of the embarrassing factor (I mean, the first cover had that, but I like it more than this one), but I think I don't like the positioning of the two or something. I'm not sure. I do, though, hope that there's a scene in the book where the main couple is in the rain/are wet, whether they're kissing or being romantic or yelling at each other or whatever. If not, then I'm going to be even more upset with the cover choice.
