Sports and romance easily go together and I'm always up for a good book in this category. What I liked most about this one though is that nothing about it is going by any formula. There's a mix of sadness, protectiveness, honor, a lot of romance, and a beautiful love story here that will leave you satisfied not only with the ending but also with the knowledge that these characters actually made it in the end when the last page has been read and there was no more story left to tell. Collette is no stranger to sports and it shows. She's not dialing the details in and that's refreshing. The sports talk here isn't an afterthought of an author needing some more words thrown in, it comes from someone who might have sat at a few ball games while plotting out this story. The details are there and they're concrete. I especially liked the angle of the female lead character actually joining the team. So often the female lead is an agent, a model, etc. This time she was someone who could hang with the guys and held her own in an all male (up until now) sport. I really liked that about her.
