Slow start but very good read. If you like basketball and love stories you will love this. This is the first of three in the current series featuring a lesser known basketball team called the Monarchs.
This was my first read from this author, and I really enjoyed it. This book has a NBA back drop, and the sports commentary was so good that I felt that I was actually at a NBA game watching the action live. The sports talk and play didn't take at all from the romance between Marc and Jackie. At first I didn't think they would mesh well together, but I was proven wrong. If you love the movie Love and Basketball, they had a similar scene to the one at the end of the movie, and after reading that scene I thought to myself, wow these two have a ton of passion for one another and they are a good match. They had a few sensual love scenes which just added to the overall appeal of the book. This was an excellent read, and I can't wait to read on in the series.
