Home Game by Ginger Scott
Synopsis:
Football has been my life. Not that I ever had a
choice in the matter. When your dad is a retired, future Hall-of-Fame
quarterback, the gridiron tends to weave its way into your DNA.
I always loved the game, but I could do without the spotlight that comes with being Peyton Johnson, the great Reed Johnson’s daughter. To make matters worse, when my dad retired from the NFL, he decided his second calling was to take over the head coaching gig at my high school, where he has coached my boyfriend for the last three years.
Correction—my ex-boyfriend.
While the fairytale high-school sweetheart story may have worked for my parents, I have other plans. And following a self-absorbed athlete to college is not part of them, no matter how hard my dad tries to push me and my ex together.
Thankfully, a new high school opens and draws a line through the center of our town, sending half of my dad’s players to a new team. And apparently, their new quarterback is breaking all of my dad’s old state records. It’s the ultimate distraction, giving me the chance to land myself a spot on the cheer team at any college that isn’t close to home.
But then I meet him. Wyatt Stone. The guy my dad considers our enemy. The best quarterback I’ve ever seen. A complete jerk who I can’t quit thinking about. And running into. And rooting for.
Now, I’m the one who is distracted. And repeating my parents’ love story doesn’t sound so bad after all.

Review:
Home Game is a charming and romantic love story, mixed up with some youthfulness,competitiveness and rivalry.
This is the follow up of The Waiting serie, I haven't read the previous book about Peyton's parents and I know I've missed a lot, but this is a very good read on its own.
Peyton meets Wyatt while she was working at the diner in town, little she knows that the cute guy who make her heart beat a little faster is the quarterback of the city's new rival team. While the rivalry between the Coolidge's high schools football teams will mess up their senior year, their affection for each other will bring clarity to their future decisions.
Peyton and Wyatt are meant to be, their relationship is nice and sweet and flirtatious from the beginning.
I liked Wyatt's maturity and Peyton's resolve, they know what they want and they get it, trying to not destroy their town, their and other people's careers and dreams in the meantime.
I adore Ginger Scott writing, it's so full of emotions and beauty that I can't put her books down.
