Class: How to Drive Him Crazy
Instructional program for women unexpectedly facing the totally dishy guy from their
past. Everyone welcome!

NHL coach Mark Diego's plan to spend his off-season volunteering in his hometown goes awry when he learns that not only is he coaching teenage girls, but that the program is coordinated by energetic (and five feet two inches of trouble) coordinator Rainey Saunders, his childhood friend—and the woman he could never stand to see dating any other guy….

When their tempers flare, Mark and Rainey discover their fireworks don't just burn angry—they burn very, very hot! But that'll just sweeten the victory. Because Mark always plays to win. And with Rainey, he's planning on playing very dirty, too…

[Who would I recommend this to?]
If you are a fan of car washes, coaching, date auctions, love/hate relationships, and sports (baseball, hockey, softball), this book might be worth a try. However, note that it has a lackluster ending, to say the least.

[My Review]
Jill Shalvis' Time Out was a fun read, full of lust, and sexy times. It was a second-chance love story for Rainey (strong, independent woman), and her childhood crush, Mark (stubborn, sexy bachelor). Both, main lead personalities were strong and well-developed. I fell in love with the characters. I laughed out loud, cringed, and even, blushed throughout the book. Most of the conversations happened in the character's head so, there wasn't much dialogue between them. I was saddened that the ending was overly abrupt.

[Spoiler Alert]
As soon as the lead characters admitted their feelings for each other, the book ended and left the readers with a lot of unanswered questions. The characters (and the readers) deserved better.

Great story, strong female lead, BUT abrupt ending
