Seventeen-year-old Snow-Soon Lee kicks ass-literally. She teaches at her family-owned martial arts gym, The Academy, and cares more about training to be the next Bruce Lee than hooking up. In fact, Snow's never even been kissed. But when Girls Night rolls around, Snow decides to prove to her friends (and herself) that she's not just some boring tomboy. Impulsively, she kisses a hot stranger and even manages to escape his two security guards. One stolen kiss . . . Ash Stryker's senior year sucks. His politician father pulled him out of Chariot High, separating him from his championship-winning soccer team. Now he's stuck at a prissy private school with no friends, no team, and no chance of being scouted. On top of that, thanks to the death threats his dad's received, Ash has a security tail, a.k.a. professional babysitters. One interesting job proposition . . . After a seemingly random attack, Ash's mother surprises everyone. She hires Snow to be Ash's personal bodyguard until after the election. But can Snow's kick-ass skills hold up against the rising threats to Ash's family? More importantly, can Ash convince his ninja girl to screw ethics and kiss him again?… (mer)

**I received a copy of this book from YA Bound Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and not influenced by my source.**

I love the gender role reversal here! I love girls that can fend for themselves but the fact that Snow is hired to protect a boy just ups the ante for me. It defies stereotypes in that respect and I really appreciated that.

I feel like that is the whole point of this novel: to challenge stereotypes. The cast here is also very diverse ethnically speaking as well. Snow is Korean while Ash is from the Southern United States. Both have these ideas that they don't have similar interests and personalities. But I think this book goes to show that you have to get to know a person for who they are and not just what you see on the outside.

This novel moves at a stellar pace. Honestly, there was never a dull moment! If you weren't swooning over Ash and Snow together you were watching Snow kick some serious butt or having these great moments of individual character growth.

I loved every page.
