I actually clicked on this book on Net Galley by accident so I was dragging my feet about reading it. I had several preconceived notions about the book and I figured the plot would follow the standard sports romance troupe where the quarterback is some hot shot with an ego the size of Texas and a notorious womanizer. What I encountered was quite the contrary.I was immediately drawn into the story and stayed up well into the early morning hours to finish the book. The primary and secondary characters totally anchored me to the story.  I loved Cassie. She is a total tech nerd with a smart mouth and witty commentary. The characters were easily relatable and thoroughly enjoyable.I really appreciated the direction the author went with Trey’s character. He did not want to be in the spotlight and preferred anonymity. Trey was also a genuinely nice guy. I loved how he cared for a troubled teammate on several occasions in the book. I also loved how much he cared for Cassie and wanted to build on the feelings that were developing between the two instead of pushing her away. Their romance was beautifully written and developed naturally.This is my first read from Jeanette Murray and I am so glad I took a chance on it. I loved every aspect of the story and the only unpleasant thing I can mention is that we have to wait until October 2014 for the next book in the series.I was gifted an eBook copy from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. All conclusions reached are my own.
