Erin Cassidy is a 23 year old stain glass window designer who is living with her parents and younger brother to help take care of the family after her mother's recent stroke. The big stain glass project she is working on, however, is ruined by Tony Hart, the quarterback of the professional Colorado football team. Neither are predisposed to like the other given that Erin has a number of negative attitudes about sports players and Tony isn't interested in good girls only looking for marriage. Once Tony hires Erin to design a window for his home, however, the sparks between the two begin to fly.

I really enjoyed the concept of this story and Tony was a pretty great guy, if a little too good to be true. Erin was a bit of a pill though. She did have some good qualities that kept me thinking that she was alright as a person, but the way she stereotyped all athletes and cheerleaders was annoying and I kept thinking that Tony should stop wasting time on her. Erin manages to redeem herself in the end and the story has a satisfying conclusion.
