When I first spotted this book, I was not quite sure I'd like it as I'm not in the mood for sports romances, yet, this story was captivating. It helped that the sport was soccer. They come together when he needs a babysitter and she's available. Over time, they start to learn about each other and we get an excellent love story. Her brother is his best friend, but said brother has possessive and protective tendencies due to trauma in their past. She learns to set healthy boundaries with her controlling brother who has good  intentions. The sport ended up playing a very small part of the story, focusing more in the aspect of their relationship and that of both of them with his little girl. If you like broody single dad, age gap, best friend's sister, low angst, and he falls first, hard, stories this is your book.
