After getting kicked out of boarding school, bad boy Derek Fitzpatrick has no choice but to live with his ditzy stepmother while his military dad is deployed. Things quickly go from bad to worse when he finds out she plans to move them back to her childhood home in Illinois. Derek's counting the days before he can be on his own, and the last thing he needs is to get involved with someone else's family drama.

Ashtyn Parker knows one thing for certainâ??people you care about leave without a backward glance. A football scholarship would finally give her the chance to leave. So she pours everything into winning a state championship, until her boyfriend and star quarterback betrays them all by joining their rival team. Ashtyn needs a new game plan, but it requires trusting Derekâ??someone she barely knows, someone born to break the rules. Is she willing to put her heart on the line to try and win it all… (mer)

Wow. Just...wow. This is the best YA Romance I've ever read. Usually, there's always one character I can't stand, but in Wild Cards, Ashtyn and Derrick are both likeable, and the supporting cast gets another thumbs up.

Derrick is the hottest YA boy to date. He's got it all, swagger, toughness, but he's sweet and sensitive.

Ashtyn is a tough chick who fights for what she wants, even when it seems hopeless. I constantly rooted for her.

The romance is hot, sweet and emotional. IT'S PERFECT.

If you haven't read this, I HIGHLY suggest you do! ( )

I really enjoyed this book! There were a few annoyances I had toward the main characters when it came to communication and telling each other things but other than that, I really liked it! ( )

While I did love this book, Ashtyn bugged the crap out of me. I realize it may be hard to admit your feelings, but the way she went about just..... ugh!! Derek deserved much better than her, as he proved at the end ( )

I have read a few books by this author and have found them all enjoyable. "Wild Cards" was a quick, easy read about antagonistic love. Unlike most YA romances, this book didn't dwell on teenage angst. Instead it was fun and light-hearted. Derek and Ashtyn were both strong characters with personal hurts, and each had a voice which gave the reader a good insight into their thoughts and feelings. I loved how Ashytn was voted captain of the school's football team, much to her boyfriend's disgust, and was so passionate about a male dominated sport.

"Wild Cards" is a good weekend read for girls looking for another bad boy to love. ( )

I was surprised by this book, in a good way. Having not quite... connected with the first of two of Simone Elkeles' earlier stories/series, I took a chance and hoped third time was the charm. Good rule to follow: Always give an author another chance if you're neutral about them.

I'm not a big football fan but I enjoyed the trip through high school politics, on and off the field. The romance aspect was not angsty but engaging as any I-live-to-annoy and love-to-hate-you story. The switch between his and her points of view were distinct and worked well. I, personally, like stories that get in the guys headspace because, well...I'm neither a teenager nor a guy and I'm curious (voyeuristic?) like that.

This was a quick, easy read (devoured today between trick-or-treaters pounding on my door). It is important to add that I felt Elkeles writing has really developed and come a long way since her first book. I'm definitely looking forward to her next Wild Cards installment. ( )
