Dallas Stars backup quarterback Thad Owens and international Opera star Olivia Shore are traveling together to help promote an international luxury watch brand. He has little tolerance for divas and she has little tolerance for lowbrow jocks. When she starts receiving threatening letters and haunting photographs about her ex-fiancé’s death Thad steps in as emotional and physical support. Their month-long journey to help promote a watch brand turns into a supportive friendship that they don’t want to give up when their traveling ends. This emotional journey of a brilliant woman whose career is everything and a talented man who will never happy with second place proves that anything can happen when two stars collide.

What a fun novel! Olivia was a very layered character. The death of her fiancé and the threatening letters about her death has created a psychological issue that may affect her being able to perform. When she meets Thad she is hiding what’s wrong with her so yeah, she definitely looks like a diva. In truth she’s very down to earth and a wonderful person. Thad is also multi-layered. He’s a serial back-up quarterback who helps troubleshoot the issues with the player he’s hoping to replace. He has the eye, skill, and intelligence to excel, yet has a depth perception issue that keeps him from being a superstar himself. Both of these characters are looking to be #1, and don’t have the time or need for someone who can’t be in a supportive role in their relationship. Their issue is how to solve that problem while still remaining together.

I loved how Thad and Olivia’s story evolved. Even though I will never be either a pro quarterback or international opera star, their story connection and problems felt real. The only exception being the mystery of who is trying to hurt Olivia. That part felt a little contrived, but man, I really enjoyed this novel!
