Sounds like a well balanced story with nicely developed characters. Romance stories can be pretty repetitive but it sounds like there are a number of elements that would make this one stand out from others in the genre.

This sounds cute. Don't care much for football and all that but I'm always in for cute romantic stories.

Romance isn't usually my thing, but this sounds like a nice light-hearted book with real-to-life themes that are often lacking in romance novels. Great review!

Great review. I rarely read sports romances but the premise is very intriguing and Julian sounds like a very interesting character that is like to know more about. This book is going to be my next read. Thanks for sharing.

I'm little unsure of how I will like the plot of the book, as I'm already uncomfortable with a young man with a past of odd choices, living in a van and teaching children Soccor.
I'm also not sure both his sister and ex-gf tie in to this story. I maybe would have focused more on the athlete part overcoming himself, rather than add the mildly creepy details.

Great review. This book seems like it gives an emotional ride along with romance and sports.

Interested to read about the athletic spin this romance novel has! Too bad about the editorial mishaps though. Great job on the review!

This sounds like an interesting novel. I am interesting to know what Julian's dilemma is and why he ostracized himself. Great job on the review!

Great review. Sounds like a wonderful story if love and redemption during the Olympics. I can't wait to read what caused Julian to drop out of society. Congratulations on being BOTD !

I'm not a reader of romances, but I will read the first ten pages to see what I think. You seem to have really liked this one, and have written a constructive review. Great job and thanks!

The characters facing diabetes sticks out to me, as I have two children that became diabetic at very young ages. It will be interesting to see how the authors address this. For the most part, romance novels are not my normal genre to indulge in, but it seems like it might be worth a peek. Great review!

Not sure if I would be interested in this one, but this has to be the first fiction book I have seen that is about the Olympics. Thank you for your nice review!
