Never play a game
you can't win.
For Cain Kent, that rule is golden. Losing is not in his vocabulary, and up until now, everything has come easy. Football, school, girls ... his charm-laced ego may just be bigger than Texas itself.
The competition he started freshman year with his friends, to make ten notches each in their bedposts by graduation day, is practically in the bag. One more to go, and then it's off to college fame and eventually, the big time. Attachments aren't something he wants to form, but when the quiet new girl challenges him in front of his classmates, his curiosity is peaked. She would be the perfect final score, and what fun to break her in the process.
Too bad Harper Posy has no intention of being just another warm body, especially to the bad boy quarterback. Even if he does quote Forster and Huxley when no one is listening. An aspiring author herself, Cain and his hidden soft side are dangerous to her heart. She's seen men ruin her mother's dreams time and again, and she's determined to fly far away as soon as she has that diploma in her fist.
But as the school year’s end looms closer, both realize they didn’t quite understand the rules to begin with. Is winning a dirty bet worth the gamble when the stakes, or the other’s heart in this case, are so high?
Harper is the one girl who isn't up for playing games. And she just might make Cain lose. Everything.

Reviews:
This was a fabulous mature YA book. None of it is over the top, and the story line is very believable. The characters reach out of this book and make you feel like you are a part of it. There isn't a ton of angst, but there is some. There are good moments and there are moments you want to throw your kindle. Over all a great book, and an easy read.

Cain is quite the playboy. He is a senior, popular and good looking. His only priorities being football and trying to bag more girls than his buddies. Harper is the new girl in school. She is feisty, mature and smart; always reading and working on her novel. She is also sweet, innocent and a bit of a romantic; saving herself for true love. From the moment I started reading this book, I was totally sucked into their story, anxious to see how it all played out.
The Tenth Girl is a great read, from start to finish. Told from dual points of view, this story is very well written and paced just right. It is the absolute perfect book to spend your afternoon getting lost in. I loved the banter. I loved the chemistry. I loved the angst and the drama. There will be moments where you will be frustrated and angry. There will be moments where your heart will be full. Then there will be moments where your heart will ache right along with Harper's. But, I promise you, the journey is so worth it. I would definitely recommend getting your hands on this book.
