Lexington and 42nd is a light, sexy sports read, and though it took me a while to get around to reading it (sorry Kim! Nothing to do with the book, just with my time!) I really did enjoy it once I dug in.

Emma is told she has volunteered to job exchange for 12 months with the New York Warriors NFL "club". What an experience, right?

Will is the star quarterback, revered by fans, adored by women, has a million dollar arm - what could he want with the girl from Sydney Football Club.

I loved the banter between Emma and Will. Who doesn't love a cocky sports star and a sassy heroine? He's trying to win her, she's fighting to say no.

I could understand Emma's hesitance to start anything with him. Heck, she's there for a finite time, he has that love 'em and leave 'em reputation.

One thing I really liked was that Will wasn't one of those cookie cutter kind of douchey guys that it takes the right woman to make him likeable. He was very likeable, nay lovable right from the start.

There was this intense push-pull between the pair as they try to make their way to maybe "relationshipland", even though there are plenty of hurdles to overcome.

There are some great secondary characters, particularly Emma's work mates and Will's teammate Buck - I sure hope we get more of him in the series.

If you are after a sweet, light, fun read, give Lexington and 42nd a go.

And now I am off to research flights back to NYC as this book had me craving to go back.
