I love a good sports romance, but this book was a little slow starting. Kelly Maxwell's job as a publicist means she's responsible for getting the players to talk to the press. Which proves to be an impossible job when it comes to Matt Scanlon. Bad-boy Matt just doesn't talk to the press. Period. His experiences with journalists have left him cold to the whole press corpse. 
 Kelly isn't your usual petite heroine. Thank goodness. It gets kind of tiresome reading about tiny, short leading ladies. Kelly is both tall and healthy looking. And she has the personality to go with her looks. 
 The chemistry between the characters is good once you get past the introductory chapters. And once you're past the slow start, the characters go on an emotional roller-coaster that just grabs you. The plot is solid, the characters are solid, and there are even a few surprises thrown in there for good measurement. 
 Review can also be found at From the Bottom of a Frappe. 
 I received this book as an e-galley from Carina Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.
