This is a very hard-hitting, romantic story that brings two powerful people together and there is no doubt that their love affair lit up the skies.  But there is also a whole agenda difference between these two individuals:  one is a playful and highly competent professional baseball player who is just having fun and whats to keep it that way.  That his attraction for Holly won't turn him loose is, of course, somewhat troublesome, but life is about fun and so are women.  That Holly is now asking questions about the future really puts the cabash on his fun.  Holly, on the other hand, is a woman who has left "play" behind in the struggle to achieve her goal as a first-class pediatric surgeon in a well-known teaching hospital.  She has made it, but at  what cost?  Add in a mother whose own bitterness has shaped Holly's subconscious response to men in general and playful men in particular, and you have two people who view life from a very different perspective.  I have a feeling that unless something changes, love will not be able to conquer the obstacles that separate these two.  This is a fine novel, written seamlessly by a husband/wife writing team who have managed to speak with "one voice."  Not easy to do under any circumstance but these two have pulled it off.  This is a book that will grab the reader's interest right from the first paragraph and won't turn loose until the final line.  THAT is the kind of novel I really like and the kind I prefer when all is said and done.  This novel is contemporary, but its themes are as old as time.  You really don't want to miss it!!
