I don't want to give this book a bad review, because it isn't all bad, but the plot and the characters at times are train wrecks. Case in point:The wealthy soccer player gets drafted by a new team and doesn't really want to play? His antics include spending lots of money- close to half a million on cars and other things. The idea of keeping a bad boy image for endorsements seemed dumb.  In fact, I found it hard to connect with the hero. He seemed to be naive (especially about women) and immature for a seasoned international soccer player.The premise that he wanted to be in the tabloids versus play soccer did not lend one to be sympathetic towards him. If a player wants to keep a job would he like being arrested and constantly in the tabloids?. The two characters both have issues and I found the fact that the heroine's parents wanted to control their daughter after she was an adult a bit silly. If she had been a teenager, yes. But an adult no way. It could have been a good book, but sadly missed the mark with me.
