I have to say, I got it.  I got the gist of it.  Getting to the gist of it was painful.I loved 'the story'.  I liked that when the heroine walks into the pool hall under false pretenses, 'the guy' feels he's won.  I like that the fiance is totally opposite him and love, love, love the testosterone thing.  (Kinda alpha male with a side of wimp).What I did not love was the silliness that took the ball and ran down the field in the story.  I'm an old lady who tortures poor check-out clerks (you know the uncle that does that 'pull my finger'?  There was nothing adult about the stuff they did.  I just think that the games played (and yes, games were expected) were just too asinine to be enjoyed.  OK.  The guy I'm rooting for is eccentric.  Like that in a guy.  Can we not go for the maturity of a 13 year-old?This book had a lot of potential.  If we kept the bones of it, kept the quips and digs but not make the dangerous situations take-offs from He Man, I feel this book could work.If somebody takes the basic part of the book and writes a good, I laughed a lot, I'm glad I read it book, the author should not get mad.
