Close to being a five start, but just misses the mark. I love Dex and Fi, and I think they're spectacular together. Dex is quiet and reserved, Fi is full of life and sparkles, they're both artistically-inclined and passionate, and they have amazing chemistry. I love how Kristen flipped the virgin trope on its head with Dex "pulling a Tebow" and I think it was really clever to play on the infamous Ashley Madison bet thing. What bothered me, though, was the way the characters' first instinct (especially Fiona's) is to run away. It's a romance ploy that I'm just tired of. I also hated how Dex lost it at his house (similar to Drew in The Hook-Up) after he lost it at the game. I didn't think that was him at all. There was a little too much we're together, we're not flip-flopping for me to be able to award The Game Plan that last star. Still, it's a very solid, well-written fun sexy sweet funny read, and with the Game On trilogy, Kristen has cemented her spot in my Sports Romance NA Hall of Fame. I definitely want to read more of her work! 
 PS Yes, Game Plan gets bonus points for the JJ reference. Obviously.
