This is book #4, in the Game On series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading this series in order.

Finn is stunned to meet Chess.  First by her name, then by her talent, and later just by her fabulous self.  They are both attracted to one another immediately, but have busy lives and demanding careers.

Chess is stunned to find herself interested in the most popular football player in her hometown.  She further surprises herself with becoming his friend.  Is it actually possible to find something in common with a jock?

While this series often has me on my knees, this story had yanked at my heart.  Mostly as a simultaneous story to The Game Plan - it makes for an interesting way to read the interacting story lines.  I love the characters.  I found the real heart wrenching struggle, and the honest way these main love birds treat and talk to each other refreshing.  Another one well done, by an author whose books are a joy read.  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
