I wasn't sure how this book would turn out.  Not as predictable as some of the lighter fare that I read at times. This isn't a heavy book, but a fun story with a lot of twists and turns and some are not what you are expecting.  I don't like to tell the story line in my reviews as you can see those on Amazon and I'll put that below my review. The characters are unpredictable, although Simon is pretty much predictable as a man.  It is the characters around him and some of the situations in the story that are unpredictable. It was a fun read I was done in one day!  It kept my interest and I didn't put the kindle down too often. My hubby had some things he wanted me to do and had to keep holering at me as I kept picking up my kindle to see what the outcome of the next twist in the book was going to be.  So, fun read, not too heavy, with some good twists and turns.  Anyone who likes contemporary romances, and wants a fun read for the beach, a plane ride, etc. This is a good one for that!  You can finish it in a day and it will keep your interest!Here is the Amazon description of the book:Simon Bosford, transplanted English soccer star, has the world by the balls. He just signed a multi-million dollar contract with the L.A. Waves, the worst team in Major League Soccer. Simon's more interested in raising his celebrity profile than scoring goals, but his plans take a detour when he tangles with Jessica Jones, the world's most disorganized personal assistant.Jessica has her own plans, and none of them involve launching a puffed-up male Adonis of an athlete on the L.A. celebrity circuit. Jessica, the rebellious daughter of the wealthy, controlling Bretts, who happen to own a few football teams, yearns to make it on her own. The first step on this journey of independence is her new job with Chase Sports Management (CSM) as a travel agent. Evan Chase, her boss and Simon's agent, gives her the plum position as Simon's personal assistant after just four months on the job. The assignment comes with one caveat: keep Simon "The Boss" Bosford out of trouble and under wraps until his practices with the Waves start. Easier said than done.As the games between Simon and Jessica kick into high gear, they land off-side, out of bounds, and in love.
