Plot
After a traumatic incident in her life as a child, Phoebe (the female central character) develops a no-tolerance attitude towards life in general. She acts tough and sometimes too harsh, on herself and others. She comes across as a vamp, a bimbo, who knows nothing in life. When she is put as a player in a football team headed by her father, she goes through things that change her life completely and for the better. The coach of the team, Dan Calebo (male protagonist) is everything that Phoebes abhors- a sexist, jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. He is very cocky and comes across as cold as Phoebe is, but after spending time together, they find each other attracted towards one another.

A great novel to read portraying that love can get anything done. A wonderful romantic novel that will keep you glued to the book.
