review 1: In my opinion I am on a Jill Shalvis freakishly long book run! I loved this book. Poor Raine had work cut for her with her job at the Recreation Center and then her volunteer work. She was helping her community out after a California wild fire wrecked most of it. Her boss Rick gets a call from his famous brother Mark who is a Pro hockey coach and needs community service for two players, if not they are suspended. Rick tells him come to Santa Rey and help out and it will teach the players to give back to the community. So in typical Jill Shalvis form he meets his crush from his days growing up in Santa Rey and they not only transform the youth center, the community, but themselves. Mark realizes he can't leave without Raine and he proves it. Great read and awesome steam fac... moretor too!
review 2: Good book. Mark has come to his hometown with two of his players. They got into hot water, and now he has them doing volunteer work to help clean up their acts and their images. They will be coaching the youth teams at the rec center - and working for an old friend of Mark's. Rainey can't believe she's stuck with him. She'd had a crush on him when she was a teenager, and made a fool of herself. Now they are setting off all kinds of sparks. Rainey can't believe she is still attracted to him. She has been trying to date guys that are safe, but end up being all wrong for her. Mark has dated, had a few relationships, but with his schedule they don't last. He won't commit to something that won't succeed. He finds that he wants more than just sex with Rainey, but is also afraid to mess up what they have. When she ends up in danger, he realizes he almost loses her before he can admit to his love. I liked Rainey and how much she cared about the teens at the rec center. She gives her work everything she has, but knows she wants more. She is also a control freak that likes to have a plan for everything, including her relationships. Her time with Mark makes her feel out of control. I also liked Mark. He is also a control freak - but he controls his emotions. He is always cool and calm in his work as a coach. But with Rainey, he feels out of control. She makes him feel things that he's never felt before and that bugs him. Only when they are able to give up that control to each other are they able to find their happy ending. less
