Synopsis:
Why Me?
Jordyn Stevens, an independent woman, has managed to keep her head down and get through high school. She’s seen the good and ugly in people and prefers to rely only on herself. Hoping that college will be different, she opens up to her roommate Candace and her best friend, Chase. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Jordyn finds herself in the crosshairs of someone who would rather make her life a living hell.
Wanting to help and protect Jordyn, Candace enlists the help of her sexy football star brother Avery, who is also one to keep people at bay. Brought together by a common bond, neither expects to develop feelings for one another. However, a simple friendship doesn’t work out as planned. When tragedy strikes and miscommunication occurs, Jordyn and Avery are lead down a dark and dreary path that she is all too familiar with.
Will Avery be able to make her see that things aren’t always what they seem?
Will Jordyn be able to survive or will her WHY ME mentality destroy her?

Review:
Jordyn is by far is one of my favorite female characters. She's spunky, witty, and has a mouth on her that you just have to love. She was tormented throughout High School but she still seems to have that air about her that screams "Try Me". She loves her Nana and has those she chooses to let in are her dear friends that she would do anything for.
Avery, concerned me quite a bit. I never knew what the truth was. Do I believe everyone else and the gossip? or do I believe what he's saying when he tells Jordyn that he will protect her? I went back and forth between believing him and not and thinking that there was some huge plot with Ryder and it was all a set up.
There were even doubt about Candace. For quite a bit of the book, I didn't know if I could trust her. I wondered if she had other motives and was just out for herself and all of it was to just piss her brother off. I absolutely adored Chase. Who doesn't love the only guy who wants nothing from you but your true friendship and loyalty? I need a Chase of my very own.
The angst throughout the book had my heart beating and my guard up for Jordyn. The poor girl couldn't win for losing it seemed.
This is easily a book you should pick up to read. May not be so easy to put it down though. Even though T. Renee Fikes is an Eagle fan (GO TEXANS!) I would gladly read more of her books.

Excerpt
“Jordyn, do you want to be with someone?” he asks changing his tone.
“Maybe.”
“Maybe? What do you mean maybe?”
“I’m good with just me.”
“But you can’t tell me you don’t get lonely.”
“Sure, everyone does. But I don’t think I can really put myself out there.”
“You should try.”
“Why?”
“Because then maybe Ryder would let you alone. Oh, oh better yet, date Avery,” he says like it’s the most amazing thing ever.
“What? No, I’m not dating Avery.”
“That sounds like a great idea Chase,” Avery says, as he enters our room.
“What?” I shriek.
“Just think about it, Ryder would let you alone because he and I are friends, so it would make you off limits,” Avery says like it’s nothing.
“See, told you,” Chase laughs.
“No, that’s ridiculous and don’t you have a girlfriend?”
“When have you known me to have a girlfriend?” he asks with a look.
“I don’t know. Well, why don’t you have a girlfriend then?” I ask confused.
“I’m about to.”
“Jordyn, do you want to be with someone?” he asks changing his tone.
“Maybe.”
