This book is #2 in The Underdogs series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading these in order.

Clarissa was devastated when she found out the lie that Troy had told her could tear her whole world apart.  Obviously he was a true player, not the person she thought he was.  The devastation led to the worst consequences that could have been given.

Troy had to live apart from his greatest joy.  He had to be punished for the damage he had caused.  Only he had to come to realize he wanted more from life - thanks to the lesson only she could have taught him.

This was a story full of all the heat, angst, and true depth we have all come to enjoy from this author.  The characters are meant to be together, obviously.  It is such a joy to read both point of views, and see the development happening in front of us.  Could not put it down!  I cannot wait for the next installment in this cool series.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
