ARC given for free by Netgalley for honest review.Jake Dublin is a sports writer, and ex Notre Dame football player. After getting hurt during a game, he had to pack it in as a football player, but continued to share his love for sports. Jake was married for six years and divorced for two and no girlfriends since his ex wife. Their marriage was so painful that he just couldn't bear going through something like that again. He will always love her, but they both know they shouldn't have gotten married so young.Sophie James is a lawyer, and just moved into the building Jake lives in. She had a bad break up, and had to move away to escape her stalker, and sports fanatic ex boyfriend, Daniel. So needless to say she doesn't want a guy into sports let alone anything new, until she runs into Jake in the elevator one day.Jake met a woman that he just couldn't get out of his head. So what does he do? He starts to write about her in his sports blog and stalks the parking garage in hopes to bump into her again. With no success, he starts to lose hope until one day, he runs into her again in the elevator.Sophie can not stop thinking about Jake, and she hasn't seen him recently. In hopes of discussing this further she calls her bestie Marcie. Well Marcie is totally against Sophie dating because of her past, so that was no help. She finally ran into Jake, and gave him her business card so that they can set up a time to jogging together.After finding out she doesn't want a guy that's interested in sports, Jake decides to not say anything right away. Will this cause problems? Can they make it work? Will their pasts break them?This was a short read but I enjoyed at least 90% of it. Lol I give this book 4 stars because I just couldn't get the hang of the blogging as chapters, but after the first couple chapters I was hooked. I like Sophie because although she wants to stay away, she still follows her heart. I like Jake because he refuses to give up at all costs. This is safe for anyone over 16 for sure.
