Review: This is not "Romance". It should be "Young Adult"

Not my cup of sports romance. The cover is really hot and the blurb sounded good. However when I read it I kept waiting for the story and the romance to start.... and then it was over.My first issue is that the "romance" or lack thereof, stopped at the bedroom door. If you are going to categorize this as a romance and have a half naked guy on the cover, I want to actually read about the characters falling in love and how they feel about each other and I want all the sexy, dirty, details. I want bodies pushed up against doors and groping because they can't control themselves around each other. I want grinding body parts and multiple orgasms. I want to be in bed with the characters and I want to feel what they are feeling. Otherwise, this should have been categorized as a young adult. I would let my 14 year old daughter read this.Another problem I have is with Sophie. I was fine with her until... until she found out what Jakes real last name was and she was like "oh, its cool. We've only known each other for like a week and I totally don't think you're a creeper or serial killer". But when she finds out he's a sports writer... OH EM GEE! That is betrayal on a nuclear level. This is relationship ending stuff folks! Seriously, get some real issues to be upset about.Maybe I didn't like it because I was expecting "romance" and got "young adult" instead? Also, let me be clear... I don't hate anything a I read. I can never hate the written word. But I can not like things and I didn't like this for me.Overall... this short, 85 page novella did not work for me. But that is just my opinion. However, if you are looking for a cute, G rated, young adult, "sports related" romance then you might give this a try. Looks like its $.99 on Amazon right now and I really think this should be a free read. Well anyway, because I want the sexy stuff, I personally wouldn't waist money on this.
