Team Ryan
Ryan Rose and her fellow Spartans are finalists in a high-profile entrepreneurial competition. They're competing for life-changing money and for their futures. They have a solid plan to win. All they need to do is trounce the competition: rich frat boys from an archrival university. Easy, right?
Team Jett
Jett Trebuchet's first mistake was not realizing that Ryan and her friends were the competition. His second was expressing his unabashed confidence in his team’s ability to win. After all, everyone knows the only thing MSU does better than U of M is produce beautiful, easy women…oh, and he almost forgot to say “dumb.” And boy, does his team pay for that one.
Game On
As each side tries to game the other, something else seems to be getting in the way—attraction. Now Ryan and Jett must keep their teams from getting distracted by the opposite sex...and each other. All is not fair in love and war when it comes to winning this game.

For some reason, I was a little weary going into this book. Whenever it's a competition between guys and gals, well let's just say I get a little competitive. Usually the guys team are made up of a bunch of jerk holes who undermine the girls and the girls make fools of themselves trying to prove that they are just as good. (Obviously I feel strongly about this (; ) Anyways, this book was such a surprise because I really, really liked it! Whoop!
Actually, the reason I liked it so much because the girls in this case were actually smart! It was easy to like them and get interested in their competition. They were wicked smart and I can't even explain how loud I ended up laughing at some of their pranks.
Side note: The author was very good at adding both humor and heartbreak to this book. I would be laughing one moment and then crying(theoretically) the next!
On to the boys ;). Team Jett... okay so first off, swoon! Not only are they wicked smart, they are super hot (I'm just telling you how I read it). So first impressions were not that great, I'll admit. (You'll understand when you read it). Let's just say that they shove their foot pretty far in before realizing their mistake. lol. Yet even after that little mishap, it wasn't hard to see that even though they were there to win, they played honestly (for the most part).
The real reason this book scored so high for me personally, is the fact that it's soooo different from every other girls vs. guys competition I've read. And unfortunately, I've read quite a few. The author did such a great job in making the characters believable, giving them their own personalities, and adding conflict into the book that doesn't overwhelm the book or characters.
If you are looking for a book to make you laugh, cry, and jump for joy this is the book for you!
