To nineteen-year-old high school dropout Travis Walker, women are like snowflakes--
each one different, but beautiful in her own way.
He can charm any girl he meets, and yet down deep he fears he'll always be a loser like
his jailbird father. As the landlady threatens to evict him and his sick mother, Travis
takes a job he hates and spends his evenings picking up girls at a nearby night spot.
When he enlists in a teen program at the local fire station, he finds out he’s amazing at
it. Then he meets the smoking hot Kat Summers, enlists Kat’s friend Zoey to help him
woo her, and falls in love for the first time ever.
But he keeps the details of his life secret. His girl will never love him back if she knows
the truth about him….

My Review:
I am always intrigued by authors who write in the male perspective. It's got to be hard to write the thoughts of a male without letting your female thoughts get in the way. I think Anne Pfeffer has definitely mastered the Male POV.
Travis was a very likable character. From the beginning, even though he was cocky and a bit of a player there was still something about him that drew me in as a reader. Delving deeper into his thoughts and past just adds to the connection you feel for him. He has been faced with a lot of "suck" in his life.
I really liked the relationship between him and Kat. I always love when a player gets hit by the one girl who makes him change his way, but this story goes even deeper than that. There are definite surprises along the way. This is a very emotional story with real life situations and I am very happy to have read it.
