Professor Jacelyn Ross is upset that the college she teaches at is adding a Sports Studies Program to their curriculum. Jacelyn does not follow sports. She sees no reason why anyone would want to sit down and watch a jock throw or kick a football. But her son Kyle is a big sports fan. He has asked his mother to get the autograph of former Wide Receiver and current coach for the Buckland Bulls, Mike Kingston. The Bulls are holding their summer training camp at the college this year to help them kick off their new Sports Studies Program. Mike grudgingly gives Jacelyn the autograph, but they clash over the fact that she thinks adding the new program to the curriculum will tarnish the school's academic reputation.

Both Jacelyn and Mike are committed to their sons. Kyle needs a father figure in his life since his actual father has no time for him. Mike's young son is still mourning the death of his mother and Mike is having a hard time helping him move on. This common ground lets them build a friendship that eventually turns into something more.

I thought the story was well written, but I had a hard time with Jacelyn's attitude. She acted like being seen with Mike was beneath her and worried about what others would say. This situation just went on too long for me. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
