This is tricky to review because the author does so much so well -- and it's a first book. I think my main feeling was that there was TOO MUCH going on. Caitlyn has a traumatic backstory, fine - but why three? (there seem to be three separate traumas she has to reveal to Spencer, each bigger than the one before). And Spencer has a backstory secret too, which is fine but it's never really dealt with until the end so we don't see either of them dealing with it. And all the timing is the most melodramatic possible:[spoiler] just as they're about to marry, just before his big game.... That kind of stuff feels like the author doesn't trust her readers enough-- doesn't trust that we'll stay interested without major meltdowns. And I think we *would* stay interested. In some ways it reminds me of RJ Prescott's The Hurricane, where another severely traumatized woman ends up with an athlete who wants to protect her. But Prescott stayed with that plot whereas Latham also adds in bombing in Afghanistan and a dying grandfather etc etc. The grandparent's WWII story gets set up elaborately, then dropped. I think Latham spread herself a little too thin -- and an editor should have helped with that. 
 Still, speaking of depth, some of my favorite parts of this book were the seriousness with which Latham covers Caitlyn and Spencer's careers. We get more than just a gesture toward sports and international aid work. We get a lot of details about their work, which is great. Also a lot of detail about London, which I loved too. So it's definitely worth looking out for this author's work--
