Khadijah gets dragged out by her sister for a night of fun and thanks to some sneaky setting up, leaves with a beautiful woman named Shae. After their great night, followed by an awkward morning, Dijah wants to put it out of her mind and focus on her new job as an athletic trainer for a WNBA team. Except Shae, her one night stand, is a star player on the team.

This book had me stressed a little, okay? The planner meets the Ms. Go-With-The-Flow is a great set-up for a love story and I enjoyed it. Dijah and Shae were equal parts sweet and nerve-wracking. Dijah had all the hallmarks of an overthinker and a worrier and as both those things, I identified with her. I also liked the show of her emotional struggles with wanting to map out the best future for yourself and trying to balance it with how she felt so deeply, but was scared to let it come across. She meant well, and though she had her hardheaded moments, when it was time to listen and learn, she did. And she apologized and ultimately stood up for what she needed to feel comfortable. I wish she hadn't been so rigid--and honestly after her second fuck up I was screaming at my Kindle at her, but I'm glad she learned a bit about intent vs. impact.

I also loved that Shae could meet her where she was. She was the perfect person for Dijah because where others would wonder why she kept putting herself out there, she saw Dijah and knew why. She knew there was more than what was being said. She dug deeper and I loved how fearless she was. I also loved that Shae was an optimist. She never gave up on trying to find what she was looking for. And she was willing to express herself, with no apologies. When Shae was happy, you knew it. And when she was pissed, you knew that too. She didn't hold back, and I loved her character.

The sports aspect was great, and not overdone. And the families were funny and a great supporting cast. I thought Jah took the immature little sister act a bit TOO far (especially leaving her at a lounge to find her own way home), but it balanced out a bit. Plus, Dijah and Shae had great chemistry and their passion was really, really good. The sexy scenes gave you insight into how Dijah was when she loosened up, and also how Shae was when someone took care of her and not the other way around. I like when physical intimacy can tell you something about the character.

I would have enjoyed a bit more about them, actually. It ended way too soon for me, considering there was so much back and forth. I enjoyed it though.
