I wasn't really sporty growing up. I played some volleyball and wasn't afraid to get sweaty during PE class. But these days I spend a lot of time on soccer game sidelines, on bleachers at a baseball diamond, in a camp chair along football sidelines, or on stands around a wrestling mat thanks to my active kids. I'm learning A LOT about the rules of many sports and the dedication it takes to master skills. This has naturally lead me to start enjoying stories surrounding sports, even though I didn't like Jocks growing up.PR Holly Taylor has signed the contract of her career when she takes on the challenge of revamping the image of sexy and destructive footballer Kepler "Killer" de Klerk when he's traded to the local Championship Soccer Team, Discovery. Kepler's European career was cut short by a car accident. He's ready to leave the party-hard reputation behind him and just focus on the game. As they spend time together, Holly realizes he is more than his tabloid image. Kepler realizes she is just what he wants and won't let her get away.THE STRIKER'S CHANCE was a fun, short sports themed romance that just hit the spot for me. Even for a shortish story, we were still given full and rounded characters who learned and grew as the story progressed. The sport's aspects were done very well letting us feel as if we were there on the pitch or watching the game from the sidelines.I enjoyed getting to know both Holly and Kepler. They did go back and forth a lot, but it was more of a dance between them as they tested the waters between them and deciding what they ultimately wanted.
