Children's book author Molly Somerville is the half-sister of Phoebe Calebow, owner of the Chicago Stars Football Team. Molly has had a crush on Quarterback Kevin Tucker for years, but he doesn't even know her name. When Molly travels to her sister's vacation cabin to write her next book, she finds Kevin who is there for some rest and relaxation. Molly's long buried stream of impulsive behavior takes over her brain and she jumps into Kevin's bed while he is sleeping. This leads to consequences neither of them expected.

I love Susan Elizabeth Phillips' Chicago Stars series, but this book is not a favorite. Molly's actions in the first half of the book are terrible. I had a real problem with this character and her behavior. Luckily, SEP is a brilliant writer and turned that character around in the second half of the book. Molly and Kevin are stuck together in the second half of the book, running a summer camp for vacationers. Kevin inherited the camp from a family member and it is the last place he wants to be. As Kevin and Molly get to know each other and let down their guard, we are given a very entertaining love story. This story is very satisfying if you can get past Molly's behavior in the beginning of the book. My rating 4 Stars.
