I was intrigued while I was reading up, but upon finishing, I realized the plot is a pretty standard one.

Roman has money both from his family inheritance and from his football career. At the urging of his mother, he attempts to do a charitable deed for a widow but bungles it badly--yet, somehow, she lets him keep trying to help her out.

Then, they both fall for each other, but don't want to admit it and have their reasons why it can't be or can't work--until a serious injury forces the other to admit that walking away isn't an option.

There is a twist in the plot at this point where the injury causes a break in their relationship but through the help of those that love them, the romance is fulfilled. ( )

Loved this sweet, clean romance novel. The potential is always hovering to slip into the stereotypical storyline of this genre. Emma St. Clair did a wonderful job of staying off that path & keeping the story moving in delightfully quirky ways. The main characters keep you pulling for them while the friends & family characters round out the storyline. I recommend this book to all romance book fans. ( )
