Nico Medina’s world is
eleven miles away from mine. During the day, it’s a place where doors are
open—where homes are lived in, and neighbors love. But when the sun sets, it
becomes a place where young boys are afraid, where eyes watch from idling cars
that hide in the shadows and wicked smoke flows from pipes.
West End is the kind of
place that people survive. It buries them—one at a time, one way or another.
And when Nico was a little boy, his mom always told him to run.
I’m Reagan
Prescott—coach’s daughter, sister to the prodigal son, daughter in the perfect
family.
Life on top.
Lies.
My world is the ugly one.
Private school politics and one of the best high school football programs in
the country can break even the toughest souls. Our darkness plays out in
whispers and rumors, and money and status trump all. I would know—I’ve watched
it kill my family slowly, strangling us for years.
In our twisted world, a
boy from West End is the only shining light.
Quarterback.
Hero.
Heart.
Good.
I hated him before I
needed him.
I fell for him fast.
I loved him when it was
almost too late.
When two ugly worlds
collide, even the strongest fall. But my world…it hasn’t met the boy from West
End.

5/5 stars!
"Ginger Scott have ripped my heart out and put it back in before. She’s fed it with youthful feels and made me swoon twenty times a minute. She’s cracked my emotions in every way possible. But in The Hard Count , she’s unleashed a whole bunch of emotions and insights that are rarely palpable in a romance novel-- honor, equality, and the will to succeed.
As a romance reader, I seek for full-blown romantic feels radiating on every page. But with The Hard Count , the romance was almost secondary but was never taken lightly. There was a palpable feeling between Nico and Reagan, drawing them together even when they were in two different situations. Miss Ginger did a wonderful job in settling the intensity of their feelings that enabled me to take other contexts at heart. I, a self-confessed sports imbecile, found the rush of every game addicting. I cheered, I hoorah!ed, and felt the pang of pain the players felt in between plays and practices. The rush was jumping out of every page and I can’t help but join in! But above all of the commotion, there was a timely message embedded in this book. When we’re stripped off of the stereotypes, we are very alike in more ways any of us will ever care admit. And when we accept differences, we could be so much stronger together. I loved this book so soooo much!"

college sweetheart whom she met at ASU (fork 'em, Devils).
