Review: A Rugby Hero
Rating: 3 out of 5

3.5 starsThis is the story of Judith Ashton, a photographer and Caleb Steele, a rugby player. They knew each other as youngsters, since Caleb is one of Judith's brother's friends, and after one perfect night, Caleb walked away from Judith to pursue his rugby career. Now he's back in Auckland and at the end of his career.Talking Dirty With The Player is a character driven book and full of angst and emotion. I liked Caleb who is a good man despite his bad boy rep. Judith was a difficult character to warm to, and I found myself wanting to shake her. She's very abrasive and behaved hot and cold.I was never sure how she'd react from one scene to the next. Both characters have pasts that feature bad parents, and I felt that Judith really dwelled on hers - we were told of her past, yet I found it difficult to care while Caleb seemed to have worked harder to move on.The writing style is fluid and easy to read, and I'd like to try another book from this author. 3.5 stars because of my problems with the heroine.
