Christina has the classic tale of a girl who loses her job, and then meets the love of her life while her family scoops her up to the rescue.  Has a sassy sister of a best friend that always has her back, that you can't help but adore.  And the love of her life turns out to be a famous athlete.  On the one hand, he's a typical jock that has the ladies in a line to wait their turn for him.  But love has a way of making you stick it out for that one special girl, even when all hell breaks lose and he finds himself having to stand with her in one of the biggest storms of her life.

Pros:  Very detailed in the family dynamics.  You just fall in love with Christina's family.

Cons:  Some mature love scenes, and very upsetting what happens to her best-friend with one of her relatives.
