I randomly bought this book thinking it would be cute and it was. Callie doesnt leave her apartment after a mugging has made her phobic about going outside. Its so bad thatshe never comes out at night and walks her dog on an extended leash if the pooch has a late night potty need. To while away her time she plays an online "scrabble" version game and promptly has her butt kicked by a stranger.Travis is in a band and is tired of groupies that only want him for his looks or the fact that he's in a band. He's pretty smart and wants a woman to see beyond the image. When he plays the online word game he begins a mild flirtation with his unknown party. At this point the story is full of quirky and cute moments.  The authors writing at times got a little stilted but I still felt a connection with the hero and heroine. The only problem is when Travis tries to help Callie overcome her fears. He becomes upset thinking she doesnt trust him and goes off. Callie who obviously has other emotional issues mostly stemming from the mugging but also from having in her opinion a more attractive outgoing sister, decides to see saw with am I good enough to what is wrong with me. Then Travis goes to the extreme an has a tempting episode with another woman in his bid to get over Callie. Luckily he comes to his senses and tries to make this work.Overall this was good and I wish the story had kept the momentum it started with. It was still a nice read and I dont regret the purchase
