This is apparently the first in a new series and it was interesting to read about a triathlete's life, especially when the setting is Australia. Yes, it's also fun to experience the upside down seasons. Even though California doesn't get snow over the holidays and we can have sunny warm weather in December, we can usually see snow up in the mountains.

My quibble about this book is that I don't see how the hero/heroine resolve the issues that were initially keeping them from getting serious about each other. It ends with Cleo giving up her ambitious plans to stay in Brisbane, while her lover doesn't give up his triathlete career at all.. Since this is book one, it is possible that a subsequent book will continue their story.

There is some humor with Cleo's clumsiness, which is how she and Hayden end up meeting, and the author doesn't let up on that. And I did enjoy Hayden's view on the "boob-off" scene. That was certainly something new and different (reminded me of a similar scene in the movie "Flashdance").

TWO FOR THE ROAD is yet another fabulous Catherine Rull novel! When news reporter, Cleo Jones accidently breaks the leg of triathlete, Hayden O’Laughlin, she makes up for delaying his Olympic training by becoming his driver during his recuperation. This delightful sports romance is filled with delicious banter, and lots of chemistry between Cleo and Hayden. It will keep you laughing and cheering for both the triathlete and the one who broke his leg…all the while hoping they will not break one another’s hearts.

Enjoyable.

Quick well written story. Two strong main characters that made you lime them both. First in a series, looking forward to reading the next one.

A Good Read

This was a fun book to read centred around a competitive triathlon world. The characters were interesting and I could not wait to see how things worked out in the end. Well done.
