Review: Plot is a hot mess

I know we don't necessarily pick these books up for the plots, but the plot in this book was such a major distraction that it was hard for me to finish.  The first half of the book works pretty well, but the "conspiracy" part only works if you're willing to accept that virtually everybody was cousins or college roomies at some point -- and it just defied belief.  You also have to accept that two different professional football teams would have really astonishingly lax security at their stadiums, as well as other things like believing that a quarterback, even a backup, would have all these days off during the football season.The sex scenes, honestly, why we're probably picking the book up in the first place were relatively solid, although there were some points where I wish the author had thought a bit more carefully about her word choices (I don't like the mental image brought up by reading about female body parts "unfurling," for example).  The heat between the characters was conveyed well, but Anna was such a neurotic basket case I found myself wondering why he was even interested in her.
