I picked this up because I love sports related romances and overall it was pretty good. I was annoyed with Rachel a good deal of the time. At first, I really liked her quirkiness but then she would do or say something so ridiculous that it just made her seem like a jerk. And I didn't think Ryan was a great guy most of the time.
