This was the first book I've read by Kate Willoughby, and I absolutely loved it! Couldn't even put it down -- literally read it in 1 day! "On the Surface" is the 1st book in Kate's series, In the Zone. In this story, we meet Tim Hollander and Erin Collier. Tim was recently traded to the San Diego Barracudas, and during a fan event, there's a guy in front of Erin who wants Tim to sign all these memorabilia, so he can sell it off. Erin thinks her thoughts out loud, and the guy overhears her. He shoves Erin, and Tim punches the guy. Of course, this was caught on camera.Because of the "Bottlegate" incident, PR is quick to hold a press conference, so they can do damage control. Erin was more than happy to be by Tim's side during the press conference explaining that Tim was defending her.Tim and Erin then start going out, and they both realized they had feelings for each other. Erin knew nothing about hockey, so it made for some funny scenes when Tim had to teach her about the sport. Tim was open towards his feelings towards Erin, and even though their relationship seemed to be moving quickly, the way Tim saw it, if you know you're meant to be with someone, why deny it? They go through their ups and downs, but they work things out!Kate has gained a new fan! I'm looking forward to the next book in this series, "Across the Line," which features Tim's teammate Calder Griffin!
