Adalyn Reyes is a career-driven woman who is set on succeeding her father as owner of the Miami Flames MLS team. But when a video of her beheading the Flames mascot goes viral, she's on damage control. Or she thinks she is, until her dad banishes her to a dinky town in North Carolina with shepherding a youth soccer team as her new job. When she arrives she finds just-retired MLS goalkeeper Cam Caldani coaching the ragtag team of 9-year-old girls and while the two immediately get on each other's nerves, there's definitely something more between them.
There's a degree of willful suspension of disbelief required in reading any romance novel, and this one really pushes that boundary to the brink. However, if you can get past the MASSIVE COINCIDENCE of a famous soccer player hiding in the same tiny town as an exiled MLS executive (and some other stuff that I won't reveal here), it's an excellent example of an enemies-to-lovers romance novel. Gotta say that the supporting characters (especially the kids on the team and their goats) are what make this book particularly charming. Recommended for those who are waiting for Hallmark Christmas movies with bated breath.
