When you pick up a book like this, you pretty much know what you get; boy meets girl, boy likes girl but doesn't want to admit it, shit hapens, boy gets girl in the end. 
 With a book like this, you don't wonder about the ending, it's about the journey getting there. So the author's job is to deliver a good plot where we enjoy reading the how. The what is not exactly a big surprise... 
 Ms Shalvis seems to be a master at the how. She weaves a world that takes you in completely, and it is hard to leave it behind when you've finished reading the last paragraph. 
 I love the buff, sporty guy going out of his way to get the not sporty girl. I've never been a big fan of sports, but am a huge fan of these sporty romance characters. If only real men were this good.
