seriously romantic: catching the player by diane alberts

catching the player continues the hamilton family series with wyatt hamilton's story. he lives and breathes football, so the last thing he expects is to fall for a prank singing telegram performer. but fall for kassidy thomas he does.

it just takes him a while to figure this out. because he has always assumed that there would be nothing else in his life other than football. that in order to be the best football player he could be, he needed to eschew romantic entanglements or anything else that would distract from his focus on the game.

but without trying he finds himself all tangled up with kass. and she is trying so hard to only take what he is willing to give her. she's so used to planning out every aspect of her life and is sick and tired of feeling bored and uninspired. being with wyatt is anything but boring. and so what if she knows this is only going to end in heartbreak. being with him any way she can get him is worthwhile. or it will be worth her while until it's not.

and even though there is a huge misunderstanding that is partly all wyatt's fault for being a jerk and also partly all wyatt's fault for not realizing his true feelings quickly enough, the way he goes about making it all better is really sweet. in the end, the relationship that wyatt and kass have is everything. it's not just sex and romance, there is real friendship too. and that makes the story all that much sweeter.
