This was the first book I have read by this author and I liked the idea of it but I needed more.Jake was a former footballer who was now a sports blogger and meets Sophie in the elevator in the building where he lives. He doesn't tell Sophie who he is and when she makes a comment that, because she grew up in a family of jocks she doesn't want a relationship with one, Jake keeps quiet, not wanting to spoil their relationship. He mentions her in his blog as a sideline and his blog grows in popularity. Of course, secrets always come out.I did feel a connection with Jake and how he wrestled with telling Sophie the truth. It was a funny, sweet storyline but I thought that the transition from meeting and taking their relationship into the bedroom was skipped over and kept me from connecting with Sophie in particular. I would have liked to see the period where they got to know each other before the first date, I wanted more romance, I wanted more connection between Jake and Sophie.Even though I knew this was a short novella and I liked how it was written, I felt there were a few holes that could have been filled in.*Copy was provided by publisher*
