After graduating from Yale University, Tracy Kelleher spent the next few years working in Italy. She returned to the United States to study medieval history in graduate school at Cornell University, but decided that academic life was not for her. She migrated to the Big Apple, where she worked at an advertising agency. Fast-forward through marriage, two children, one dog, and freelance writing for newspapers and magazines. After her children entered school, she became a staff newspaper reporter and later the communications director for a non-profit organization that mediated disputes in Central and Eastern Europe. Eventually she returned to publishing as a magazine editor. Tracy sold her first romance to Kensington while she was a reporter and finally quit her day job after she found a home writing at Harlequin. Tracy values the flexible lifestyle that writing affords her. She has carried her laptop across three continents and swears that having to write in places such as Australia and Southern France has not hindered her ability to focus on her work. She currently lives in New Jersey and is hard at work on her next novel.
Jason is a professional hockey player. He is an all around good guy and has the reputation of the boy next door. Just being traded to another team, they hire Claire-a professional photographer to play up his good-guy image. Jason is immediately smitten with Claire. Everything about her fasinates him, and he quickly tries to insinuate himself into her life. Claire is not used to this kind of attention. She has always lived behind the lens and doesn't know how to handle being the center of attention from this wonderful man. There were some very funny moments in this book. His 10 requirements for a wife (which only Claire has fulfilled) was funny and the relationship that develops between Jason and Claire compelled me to cheer when they finally got together.
Onestamente se non avessi letto la trama ci avrei messo un po' a capire cosa stava succedendo perché il libro parte in quarta senza nessun tipo di introduzione e questa "fretta" dura fino all'epilogo in fretta e furia..mi sembrava di aver cominciato a leggere la storia da metà invece che dall'inizio XD I vari rapporti tra i personaggi mi sono sembrati molto superficiali e falsi (a cominciare dall'amicizia tra Claire e Trisha fino alla storia d'amore tra i nostri due protagonisti) e le loro azioni poco coerenti...in generale una buona idea buttata via XD
