A young woman is a major fan of football and because of this may have forgone romantic pursuits to instead pursue her career and passion. I loved how setting it in Texas, and not ever having been there Giffin sets a great stage for a small town where football is the core of the town. There was no doubt that Walker, Texas cared more about football than most anything else.

The arc of this character was fantastic and may have been predictable at times, the sweetness of the story won out. I wanted her to find happiness on the job, life and love - I love it when I am rooting for the character, makes the book so much better. The secondary characters were just as great as the main, I wouldn't mind a follow up book that took the story further in one of their view points.
