This story started slow and in the beginning and I wasn’t sure I would like it but as the story progressed, I found myself becoming invested in the characters and enjoying the story more and more. This is a sweet story, I liked the characters and they have a lot of chemistry. There are also some heavy issues in this book and we see how they deal with them. This story is told from alternating POV.
Bryant Garrity is a quarterback with the Chicago Knights and he is rehabbing his knee while vacationing in the Caribbean. Carly Lincoln is a corporate travel agent working with a group of people in the Caribbean when her path crosses with Bryant. She doesn’t know much about football and has no idea who Bryant is when she first meets him.
Bryant is a nice guy. Even though he is a successful quarterback, he is sweet and vulnerable and I love the way he treats Carly. They start their relationship as friends and it slowly develops into more. Carly and Bryant are focused on their careers and have no interest in a relationship in fact, they believe it is impossible to focus on a relationship and also have a successful career. Even though they do not want a relationship because they are too busy with their careers, once they start dating they can’t get enough of each other.
