review 1: I'm sitting on a 3.5-4 rating because while I liked the story, I didn't exactly feel their passion... I dunno maybe it was me, but basically it's about Cole Riley who we met in a previous book, who everyone sees as a tosser, and has been passed around football teams in his career due to being a PR nightmare. He gets picked by his home town St. Louis and is told he must work with a image consultant, Savannah to work on his bad boy image in the media. He realises he has no true friends until she makes him befriend players on his new team, something he's never done as he keeps to himself thinking the other team mates are his competition not people looking for the same goal. Anyway, even though she tries to be professional she succumbs to his charms and they get jiggy with it.... more He eventually realises after his head is out of his ass long enough to breath that she isn't so put together as she seems, scarred from a bad childhood. He helps her to open up, stops being a douche and they fall in love. Most of the sex scenes felt all the same, but if you read these for the love story like me, it's not so bad. A little less talk on sports in this, the others had a little too much for my liking, in terms of games and stuff because it confuses me when I have no clue what is being talked about. This is mainly because it's preseason and focuses more on his media coverage than play time. But it's still in there, clearly.
review 2: Me gusto mucho más que los anteriores.En este libro el romance no nace de la nada, como ya nos hemos acostumbrado, sino que se nota que se entreteje durante toda la historia.Así es como me gusta que se desarrollen las historias de romance aunque pueden decir que es lento a mi no me pareció así ya que tiene su toque de diálogos divertidos, personajes encantadores, y mujeres locas (en el buen sentido) que lo hacen bastante entretenido. Lo último a destacar son los protagonistas.Por un lado Cole que es demasiado encantador, tierno y siempre sabe justamente que decir.Y por el otro Savannah, que es una mujer admirable, fuerte, totalmente dedicada a su trabajo y claro que no podía faltar un pasado secreto aunque me parece que no es algo a lo que se le da demasiada relevancia. Lo que me parece perfecto.Tengo que mencionar que tanto me gusto el personaje de Savannah que me hizo olvidar completamente la aversión que tengo hacia ese nombre debido a una mala experiencia con un libro en el pasado. less
