This is the first time that I've read anything by Lily Harlem, but not the first time I've heard of her. One of my good virtual friends on goodreads, loves her stuff and so her name has come up in recommendations several times. So when I was looking for a book featuring soccer and her book showed up on the Amazon listopia, I figured it was time to give her a try.I almost immediately fell in love with Nicky - she reminded me a lot of myself when it came to sports, because there were some that I used to follow passionately. Although, I can't say that I do so much anymore...unfortunately. She also works in pretty much a male dominated career field, not so much the journalism, but the sports writing, the same as me (mine being the military) and she managed to get herself into insane scrapes...yea, well, we won't go there for me...lol! I loved the passion that Ms Harlem was able to put into her writing and you could also tell that she had done her research into various soccer tournaments because there was an air of knowledge portrayed that seemed genuine.And Lewis...oh Lewis...ummm, yeah, I love a man who can handle balls...(snerk!). Not going to say much more on that topic, otherwise we might hit an x-rating (well, not quite, but the possibility exists). Either way, I can't wait to read more by this author in the future and hope others check her out. 4 stars.
