Talk To Me by Clare James is the first book I have read for this author.  I absolutely love discovering new books that I love from new authors.  This was exactly that a new book that I fell head over heels in love with.  Not only does it feature an athlete in Finn, but also features a strong, and driven women.  The story was just really great for me.  The author wrote the story as an interview with Finn.  We see the story unfold from each chapter.  It was so addicting to read,  I was sucked into knowing everything that led up to this interview.  A would call this book  a very steamy, suspenseful, and romantic read.Finn's sudden retirement from hockey is a sports mystery.  No one can understand why he would retire at the height of his game.  Casey is trying to work her way up into being a serious journalist.  Casey realizes she may be able to land Finn's story and a shot at finally being taken seriously as a reporter.  Casey is pretty determined to get the story of the year and is willing to go to any length to get it. As Finn and Casey get close the story seems to start unraveling.  But how far is too far!  Will the story of the year be worth  losing Finn?  Will Finn find out whatever they were building together was just a lie?  When/and if the secret is revealed will Finn how will it affect their future?  If they still have hope of one!  Secrets and lies may be the one thing that will destroy them both.I just have to warn you there is a cliffhanger.  One you won't want to miss.  I was floored to say the least.  Finn  and Casey stole my heart and pretty much broke it in the same book.  It was quite an emotional ride.  While reading you may start developing your own theories as to why Finn retired so abruptly.  Let me tell you it won't even come close to the real reason.As Finn starts to come out of his shell with Casey we learn that they both have very strong chemistry, both are driven, and also have the desire to work hard for their dreams.  They have a unique relationship that thrives of some pretty heavy emotions.  The story is sweet at times and I enjoyed watching these two find something special with the other.There are a lot of things unfolding in this book.  I was glad that there were alternate pov's in the book.  Actually my favorite books always include both sides to the story.  Isn't that what they always say that there are two sides to every story?  Well you will definitely get two sides and so much more.  Finn and Casey were full of so many surprises.I thought this was a brilliantly written, and plotted story.  I, myself can't wait to see where the story is going to go.  I am going to expect a lot of emotional upheavals in book two.  I can recommend this book without a doubt.  Truly a genuine story that had me guessing and immediately needing more. A definite hit from the first page to the last!
