Catarina Everhart's column on relationships is going much better than her real-life one, but when her boss pairs her with a former football player for a special piece on dating, she finds the rest of her perfect little world turned upside down. Barrett Fox is a cocky egomaniac known for being the "bad boy of the NFL," but his personal attack on a female ref was a little too aggressive. He's agreed to a PR stunt with the local paper in hopes of rehabilitating his public image. The only problem is that he's been set up with a prim, uptight reporter who finds his attitude toward women repulsive. What follows is the plot of every "opposites attract" romantic comedy, in which their relationship blossoms after both sides learn that a public persona often hides a more complicated individual.
VERDICT Best seller Lemmon (Man Candy) sticks to the playbook in this stand-alone in her "Real Love" series but turns up the friction between the two to give their connection some genuine sizzle.
