Description

As far as Vanessa Lawrence is concerned, jocks are bad news. Once married to one of baseball's superstars, she's coped with betrayal, divorce and the tabloids. She's worked hard to establish her career, and now her exhusband's tell-all autobiography threatens to destroy everything she's achieved.

When ex-football hero Nick DeAngelo takes to the playing field that was once her heart, Vanessa's not about to let another sports-crazed womanizer ruin her life. But Nick's not prepared to let show more Vanessa get away. Instead, he tackles her stubborn pride, her obnoxious ex and the gossip columns head-on. Because the day he saw Vanessa, he knew he'd found his destiny....

Vanessa is a hostess on a popular home shopping network. Nick is a restauranteur and former football star. When Nick is sick, he turns on the television and sees Vanessa and is smitten. His best friend is her boss. Her best friend is her boss' wife. The couple try to set up Nick and Vanessa. Both are attracted but come with baggage in the trust department. Vanessa's ex-husband is trying to get her to help him promote his book which makes Vanessa look bad. She keeps comparing Nick to her ex. Will it work? Will it keep them apart? Will love find a way?

I enjoyed this story. I liked Vanessa and Nick. Her ex, Parker, was a total heel. He does whatever he can to hurt Vanessa. She's well rid of him. Nick does not tell her the whole story about show more his marriage. I can understand why he did not but I also see her side of the trust issue. I could also understand why she felt confused with Nick's behavior at times--says one thing, acts the opposite. I hoped they would work it out. Naturally, they did so I got my happy ending. show less
Marrying one famous athlete broke Vanessa Lawrence's heart and wrecked her self-confidence - can loving another one really be worth the risk?

For football star Nick DeAngelo, one look at the sexy shopping channel spokesperson is enough - he's smitten. But can he convince her that his intentions are honorable?

Vapid and completely predictable.
I really wanted to like this but the story was flat and characters and situations ranging from unbelieving to annoying
