This was such a sweet book.  There was no cheating, love triangles, or bad boy players.  This was a story about a young woman entering college and the world for the first time.  She has had to endure more loss than any one person should at such a young age.  She meets the quarterback for her university’s football team and falls head over heels in love with Liam, despite his firm stance on not having time for relationships.  They begin seeing more of each other and Liam starts to have a change of heart about his single status.At times it almost felt like I was hearing every single thought that was going through the main character’s heads as they were falling in love.  It’s like one of those sickeningly sweet, perfect couples that fall in love and have perfect lives with perfect kids but it didn’t make me nauseous.  I was smiling for them the majority of the book because they were just so cute together. There was a feeling of innocent curiosity between them that was sweet, but at times really hot.I was proud of Allison for sticking to her guns and not giving herself to Liam without the promise of a commitment.  She knew what she wanted for herself and she made sure Liam knew exactly how she felt.  Liam was also a stand-up guy because he didn’t try to take advantage of her.  He respected her feelings, part of it might have been because her childhood friend and his roommate Ace promised to kill him if he hurt her, and took time to get to know her and examine his own feelings for her.The book was a bit long considering a lot of it took place in the first 24 hours of their relationship actually becoming official.  When I said it was almost like hearing and seeing their every thought and emotion while they were falling in love I wasn’t joking.  Was it annoying? No it really wasn’t, but some might find it so.  I guess I was intrigued by the style of writing that I didn’t really notice.  I’m not sure why it didn’t bother me, but that’s a credit to Kaylee’s ability to capture my attention with her two main characters.Liam started this book with only one goal in mind…to enter the NFL draft at the end of the year and graduate in sports medicine.  He said he didn’t want or need any relationships.  Allison started the year wanting to stay home with her Gran, but being literally pushed out the door by her Gran so she could experience life.  Her goal in life was to have a family and be a mother.  I guess the old saying opposites attract was dead on with these two.There are also some amazing secondary characters that I am really hoping get their own book…. I’d rate this book at about 4 Stars.
