Tanner
Cole was a football star until one bad tackle took him out of the game. Now
he’s just struggling to get through rehab and move on with his life. Too bad he
doesn’t really know what he wants to do. Physical therapy is not one of the
things, he knows that. Too bad his physical therapist is dealaing with his own
mending after a car accident which means that Tanner is about to get
reassigned.
Jordan
loves her job. No, like really, enjoys going to work every day. Until she meets
Mr. Full-of-Himself Tanner. Him, she doesn’t like. His house, she does. And
since she needs a place to live (not a great plot point) and he has space (and
the hots for her), she moves in. So that she can be his in-house physical
therapist. Or something. Living together leads the two to believe that the
sparks between them might be more than just annoyance with each other.
Wow.
This book REALLY struggled with pacing issues. The first 2/3ds was just a
discussion of how much Tanner and Jordan really disliked each other with some
growth toward friendship. Then, suddenly, in the space of 10 or so pages,
they’re suddenly desperately in love and dying to be together even though
they’re geographically apart. And whatever happened with Star? She was set up
to be a much larger plot point and then just ended up as the psycho
ex-girlfriend.
If
this weren’t from an author I know could do better, I don’t feel like I’d be as
disappointed.
