It's the annual charity auction - FOR THE CHILDREN - and football superstar Cooper is being threatened by a radio personality who could destroy his reputation. He doesn't want to upset her but he definitely doesn't want her to win a date with him. Thankfully, his good friend Violet was able to use his money to win the date for herself. But it looks like their little hometown romance is benefitting them both, so they decide to play it up for a bit.
This book was original as far as these books go as it was entirely narrated by the man. I don't know if I've ever seen a book in this genre do that. That also might have been why everything felt so quick, women are written with so much more self-doubt than he was. I don't even know if he hesitated a second, it was all about his wants rather than hers. Kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
There was no real conflict, no drama, everything just sort of fell into place. It was also like the starting point kept shifting and I found myself wondering why they had never discussed being together in the first place. It was strange and weird pacing. I didn't hate it, it was entertaining enough, but I would have liked to see more depth.
