I really wanted to like this book, I love football, I'm married to a pilot and I live in the Seattle area (not far from the Alderwood Mall)but all these things actually contributed to my not liking this book. To start with I could find nothing endearing about the heroine, she's cold, she's closed off and I don't see why any man (especially one who could have any woman he wanted)would want to try to penetrate the shell she built around herself. The avation was REALLY bad, especially since a single pilot cannot fly any jet aircraft (all jets are 2 pilot cockpits) it could have been a turbo-prop and that can have a single pilot but usually still has two or a regular twin prop which is fine with just one pilot but it would take quite a bit of time to get from Green Bay to Seattle. The football was almost non existant except to add to the angst of "she'll hate me if I tell her what I do". The local geography was ok, but seemed outdated...and Seattle drivers are NOT polite (at least not anymore). Personally I think he should have just left her alone after the mace incident and found someone better but I guess that would have been a pretty short book.  All in all the only thing I liked about this book was the much less angsty relationship between their best friends and that really didn't take up much of the story at all.
