I really enjoyed this story. It incorporated all the things I liked about the other books in the series, whilst being completely different in many ways.Firstly, I liked that Kate and Cooper didn't have any past connections, and they never met through any of the other characters in the series. Not that any of these things were bad, but as much as I like intertwined series', at times it can become a bit much. Of course, there were characters from the other books in this series in this story but they weren't as involved as before, and I was intrigued to see what Dover had in store for Cooper because I thought he got a really raw deal in Meant For Me.The other great thing about Kate and Cooper having no ties and being complete strangers was that there was plenty of sexual tension and a great build up to that moment when they finally both gave in and allowed their feelings, or more like their hormones, to take over. There was instant chemistry between them and as I've come to expect from Dover's characters, together, they heated up my Kindle more often than not.Both Kate and Cooper suffered through their fair share of heartache and tragedy which seemed to follow them no matter where they went. Kate was haunted by her past and even if she could let go of it Scott's family were there to remind her every year. I was surprised by the lengths Marianne went through to destroy Kate. That would was angry and vindictive. As for Cooper, I hated that his family treated him so badly and it was a true shock when he went to confront his mother about everything that had been happening to turn not only his but Kate's life upside down.This was a wonderful story that held my attention the entire time with great characters. I loved the addition of the notes and letters. although they added to the heartache, they gave this book a fun twist with they way in which they appeared. Great idea! I had high hopes for this book because it involved a football player (and I'm a little obsessed with sports). I was kind of disappointed. The characters were well rounded and very thought out, which I loved. I loved being able to see all of the depths of both Kate and Cooper since it was told from both of their point of views. And I fell in love with Luke before Cooper so I spent a good portion of the book wishing for the other guy. But in the end, Cooper was the guy for her. The book was written very grammatically we'll but the storyline was very predictable and made me very put off by it. The other thing I didn't like about the book was the progression of the relationship, especially for someone like Kate. After everything she went through I doubt she falls in love with someone after three days. That just didn't sit we'll with me. The last thing was the realistic portion of the book. If you're going to use realistic names and stadiums in the NFL you have to make the scenes real. First off, cheerleaders and players don't practice at the same time and usually are no where near each other when using the facilities at the same time. If Kate is an assistant working for the time during game days, most games that were talked about I found myself forgetting that she was. Physican assistants don't fraternize with players during quarter breaks or halftime. They are there to work and they definitely don't sit in the stands during the Super Bowl. The third and final thing, which wasn't that big of a deal, is that the Super Bowl is almost never played in the same stadium as one of the teams. The Bank of America Stadium is in Carolina. There pretty much a 1 in 32 chance that Carolina would be playing in their own stadium for the Super Bowl since the location is set years in advanced.Overall, I liked the book. I'm mostly looking forward to Luke's book to decide how much I like this author.
