The story is about Susannah and Ryan. Susannah married to a football superstar Ryan Sanderson has finally decided to give up on Ryan and move on as she is sick of playing second fiddle to his team, watching women throwing themselves at him, and living in terror of the hard hits he took on the field. With their divorce just days from being final, she’s already planning a wedding with her new fiancé. On the other hand Ryan has finally figured out what’s really important to him. He has just ten days to convince his soon-to-be ex-wife to give him a second chance. He has just brought home his third championship and his career is at its pinnacle, but during the year of their separation, Ryan’s come to realize it doesn’t mean anything at all without Susannah.
Upon reading the synopsis and finding out the five stars it gathered from Amazon I was a bit hesitant to read this novel because I thought the story is focused in sports and that the romance between Susannah and Ryan would gear toward Ryan playing football. I was wrong because the story is more than just sports – the story is about Ryan taking his chances of winning back the love of his life. Both main characters in the story are fully developed enough to get to know them and feel the whirlwind of passion, enough to feel the need to read more and more of their struggles and heartaches, worthy enough to finish the novel while absorbing a happy ending story.
Marie Force is a first for me and her work created a remarkable impression an author I will surely follow and seek for more of her previous novels as well as in the future to come.
