Is this Old Skool? Am I just missing something? If I didn’t need this book for a challenge I would have never made it to the end.

Even with all this explaining I find Phoebe’s emotional journey unrealistic.

While Phillips’ writing style is technically solid she leaves little for the reader to figure out herself. So getting to the end of the novel was hard. If the Russians had been smart, they’d have taken Phoebe’s radioactive body into account before they’d signed off on that nuclear proliferation agreement with the United States. He grinned as he pulled away from the curb. You know, instead of the shabby, poor looking minorities you’re used to. Shall we have a sample?Ī sprinkling of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians, all well-dressed and prosperous looking, mingled with the crowd. The only person he is consistently nice to is Molly, Phoebe’s teenaged half sister, as he demands admiration above all else and she readily provides it. He’s quick to anger, crap at apologies, and seems to think fleeting good intentions make up for all his faults. In the process she falls in love with the coach, Dan, for no reason I can possibly see. She finally comes around and decides to go to work. Contracts need signing and she’s the only one with any legal authority, but hey, not her problem. She decides the best thing to do is ignore the team completely as she knows nothing about football.

And why does the coach’s good ol’ boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied…and ready to fight? And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises-a meddling bimbo who doesn’t know a pigskin from a pitcher’s mound. And Phoebe is definitely not ready for the Stars’ head coach, former gridiron legend Dan Calebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. The Windy City isn’t quite ready for Phoebe Somerville-the outrageous, curvaceous New York knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team.
