Ms Burton knows how to keep a series fresh and true to the characters so that it to continues to draw you in because of the emotional investment you have in their stories. It's always such a treat when characters from previous books make an appearance in a story...this author weaves her past characters seamlessly into the current story so that their own stories continue.

Nathan and Mia's story is a wonderful addition to those that have preceded it. Throughout the series Mia has popped in and out, having her own story has been long awaited. Mia has come a long way in the series...seeing her blaze her own trail in sports management, doing what she loves most was perfect and the culmination of her struggles over the direction to take following all her college education. Throw Nathan into the mixture and you have the a couple who compliment each other perfectly.

The way this author portrays the Cassidy brothers and their relationships with each other was quite humorous and the perfect addition to the the thrill of the football aspects...but all came second to the romance that grew out of friendship between Nathan and Mia...sigh worthy at its finest. All in all, a wonderful addition to the Play by Play series.
