Move over, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, here comes Kat Latham! Knowing the Score hooked me in the first chapter, and I couldn't stop reading. I've never read about rugby players before, but I loved getting inside scoop. (And yes, that includes the locker room, ladies. Ahem.) Spencer has a shot at making it big but has to prove he's over the scandal that nearly ruined him. Caitlyn is a humanitarian aid worker and is so devoted to her job, she's out of practice when the hunky athlete is interested in her, so she kind of doesn't know what to do. Their romance is sweet and quirky, and the secondary characters really shine, especially the mischievous matchmaking grandpa. Hard to believe Latham is a debut author - her writing is fun and sophisticated and pulls the reader in. Can't count how many times I laughed out loud. Perfect beach read. If you're looking for something fresh, this is it.
