Quite liked this slow, slow burn marriage of convenience.

One pet peeve: For claiming she had multiple Canadian friends answer all her questions, she really does not understand ‘Eh’ and how it is used in a sentence. Drives me bananas when Canadians are written in a caricature like this.

Leslie beamed. "We finished watching some footage, so I'll get out your hair to give you both some alone time tonight, eh?”
The tender, amused look that came over Aiden's face more than slightly irritated me. "Eh." Aye.
Then the fact that his Canadian had snuck up on him - when it only came up in the times he was really comfortable - made my little-girl immaturity that much worse.

And

Clowns? "Really?" I tried to imagine a tiny Aiden crying over men and women with overly painted faces and red noses, but I couldn't.
The big guy was still facing me. His expression clear and even, as he dipped his chin. "Eh."
God help me, he'd gone Canadian on me. I had to will my face not to react at the fact he'd gone with the one word he usually used only when he was super relaxed around other people. "I thought they were going to eat me."

That… is not how that is used. Ok. Rant over.

Mariana always completely ruins my expectations for love. I'm a hopeless romantic now. Me and my bleeding heart are in shambles.

In all seriousness, it's a great book. I started reading it because of my love for football and Mariana's work. I love how(like in so much of Mariana's work) each character has depth and purpose. The real world details factored into this fictional romance adds some flare. I really enjoyed this read.

Okay, so
It's a really good book. I couldn't put it down and read it in less than 24 hours. The characters are interesting and likeable. I loved Zac. There are some moments in the book where I got second hand embarrassment, but there weren't so many so it made book more believable. It's a slowburn and I loved every second of it.
Overall I liked the book and I would def reread.
