Love Untouched is Romeo and Juliet meets the Summer Olympics. You can find love in the most unusual places; by the pool, in the ER. So singletons always keep your eyes peeledI am a sucker for love at first sight stories and the attraction between Brynn and Kieran was instantaneous.  But Brynn is the little sister of Kieran's biggest rival and this is a big problem.  I also love the swim-centric focus of the book. It is a sport that I haven't seen much in the romance genre and I really liked the inside info.  Brynn and Kieran are both beguiling and well rounded characters. Their backstorys are compelling and intriguing and are a seamless part of the story.Milo, Brynn's brother, plays a major part in the story. He is all sorts of arrogant and egotistical and his relationship with Brynn is intense.  They are very close as far as siblings go and when Kieran enters the picture it definitely throws things askew. I didn't really buy the animosity between Kieran and Milo.  The old incident between them didn't seem worthy for such loathing and I think it made Milo seem extremely childish, immature and unlikeable.The pace is even and smooth and only dips into a bit of sappy goodness once (poetry recitation is not one of my fave page fillers). The conflict and its resolution is only a smidge unbelievable (aren't high performance athletes overly diligent about their intake, especially during competition?) and it comes to a very tidy conclusion (maybe too tidy). But I think I saw where this could spin off into a story with more Milo and a certain BFF, which I would love to see unfold. All told I really enjoyed this story and recommend it to all love at first sight lovers.
