Varsity Tiebreaker
Book 2 in The Varsity Series by Ginger Scott
Tory "Salvatore" D'Angelo loves falling in love...just not for real. The star basketball player at Allensville Public High gives his heart away one girl at a time then takes it back when he's ready to move on. No serious feelings, no serious pain.
They’re both good plans until Abby’s jaded heart gets all tangled up with Tory’s hopeless one. A friendly rivalry grows into friendship, and long talks start to blur the lines.
Just one problem—Abby’s current boyfriend is Tory’s twin brother, Hayden.
Excerpt – Varsity Tiebreaker by Ginger Scott
Tory D’Angelo
I’m not sure if she realizes she’s trembling, but she is, so to stop her from digging any deeper in a place so public and so filled with the fumes of microwave pizza and Coke machines, I reach forward and rest my hand on top of hers. We both freeze immediately, and I’m pretty sure my palm is already sweating. Her gaze lifts to meet mine, but I don’t let go of her hand just yet. I don’t make this touch a big deal, even though it sort of is. That’s not why I did it, and I don’t want to cheapen it. With our eyes locked on one another, I let the air fill with the touch of silence just long enough for a ragged, emotional breath to fall from her lips.
“You have every right to feel the way you do,” I say.
“And how’s that?” she fires back. Her hand shifts under mine, but she doesn’t pull it away.
“You feel like your dad sees a business opportunity where he should see his daughter.”
She swallows and keeps her gaze on mine for a beat before finally leaning back, pulling her hand away and glancing off to her side. With a snort sniffle, she runs the sleeve of my brother’s hoodie across her eyes, erasing the tiny break that she let herself have.
I’m suddenly not hungry. I don’t think I have ever not been hungry, but I couldn’t eat the rest of my burrito now if I were forced at gunpoint. It’s not that I feel sick, but more that I feel…envious. I was fooling myself thinking that Abby was a passing crush I could dismiss easily. Two months of riding shotgun with her through all things June and Lucas was just long enough for me to get hooked on having her around. But while it’s my advice she’s listening to right now, it’s my brother’s fucking sweatshirt she’s dabbing her tears with.
“So, see you at the game?” I know my move to leave is abrupt, especially after she just bared part of her soul. If I stay, though, I’m going to say things I don’t mean just out of sheer self-preservation. This is precisely why I don’t do relationships, I just do flirting and hookups. Feelings…well, they fucking feel.
“What, did you change your mind and suddenly decide that nine-eighty bare-minimum wasn’t good enough?” Her nose wrinkles after her insult, but I think I get where it’s coming from. She just hit me with a major share, and now I’m bailing. Better to lash out. Her and I aren’t so different.
“Something like that,” I say, holding up my lunch trash as a wave goodbye.
Abby’s face shifts slightly, her wrinkled mouth and dimmed eyes morphing from the snarky expression that accompanies her tease to the look of a girl who just lost her brand new balloon to the sky.
“That hoodie…” I say as I walk backward, pointing toward the center of her chest. “Looks good on you.” I leave things there with a tight-lipped smile and a nod, a truce of sorts, not that Abby even knew we were in a battle. Hell, we weren’t. I’m the only one in a conflict, and it’s with my own damn self.
I manage to turn my back to her and toss my trash out without pausing to get one more little jab in to fully take things back to our version of normal. I think for now, I’d like to leave things nice. I wasn’t counting on her wanting to leave things that way, too, though.
“I’ll be sure to cheer for you, even if I’m wearing Hayden’s number,” she shouts.
I spin on my feet and give her a thumbs up, but keep moving away from her because if I turn around, I’ll keep trying to win her over. And she’s not mine to be won.

Part 2 of a series
My Varsity Review . . .
I am always a fan of Ginger Scott and this is another sweet story. I did like this story but it didn't quite hit me in the feels like some of her other books have.
We first meet Abby and Tory in Varsity Heartbreaker (#1). I adored both of those characters from the beginning of this series, so I was excited to get their story. I did like the story and how divorce can effect kids. Though I didn't quite feel the connection of Tory and Abby right away. In the beginning we get to see how Tory has had a crush on Abby but I wish we also got Abby's feelings for Tory as well.
Since we didn't get that POV and we have Abby enter the story with her dating Hayden, which felt out of no where. so it was a bit hard for to feel her feelings grow for Tory. This story also had more of the impact of their parents then Tory and Abby. Which I did like but I was also left wanting more from them as a couple.
The story is happening parallel at the same time as Varsity Heartbreaker with June and Logan, yet you don't realize it is at the same time. In the end I did like it as it was sweet, but I was left wanting more from Abby and Tory. I did like part about divorce and the effect on Abby, Tory and Hayden. I loved the friendship of June and Abby. So, far that is my favorite part of the series. Tory's character was great and I liked that he's always noticed Abby even when no one else noticed.
I liked the relationship of Tory and Hayden and how they had to work their issues out to find their happiness with their new normal. I am excited for more from this author and this series.
3 Sweet Thumbs up!
