I enjoyed this book. It was a bit short, and sports oriented, but it was easy to read. I liked the characters. I liked the story and how it was told. It was unique and interesting.Jake, our hero, is a sportswriter and an avid blogger. He meets Sophie in the elevator just as she is moving in to his building. Of course, he comes onto her, but she shoots him down. Sparks are flying though, and they are both intrigued. Jake is intrigued enough to make mention of "Elevator Girl" on his blog. Things take off from there and soon everyone is interested in his relationship. Jake is a persistent fellow and he and Sophie get to know each other. They have more in common than they know, though Jake is dismayed to learn that Sophie really isn't into jocks. See .... she grew up in a sports family. She dated jocks and things didn't work out. So .... he makes a big mistake. He doesn't tell her about his job or the blog. They continue to grow closer and they are feeling the love vibe. Meanwhile, Jake continues posting things about "Elevator Girl" on the blog. It's all in good fun. But Jake is hiding things and it eventually blows up in his face. And yeah, Sophie has been keeping a little secret of her own. It's all one big mess and one wonders if Jake can fix it.I enjoyed this book. But the continuous blogs were kinda disconcerting to me. The romance was cute and the characters were easy to like. I liked the story. I would recommend it as a light read. I do look forward to reading more from this author.
