Game On: A Romantic Comedy that Scores

by Barbara Oliverio

Overview

Stunning, violet-eyed Maisie Valenti grew up in the rough-and- tumble world of sports with a football coach father and six athletic brothers. Her dream job has always been to be a national sports reporter and she is slowly working her way up the ladder to be in a major market. On her way, she shares the screen with popular sports celebrities who have dazzling smiles, but it’s Aleksander Markovich behind the camera who has always remained her solid friend – so much that he is firmly stuck in the friend zone. Maisie finally gets her big chance to move to the nation’s biggest market and gain the approval of a national sports heartthrob– if only she’ll make a professional compromise. Should Maisie do whatever it takes to get her dream job? And what would it take for Aleksander to step in front of the camera and finally come into focus for her?

Maisie’s determination to stay true to her values, as well as her ability to learn from her mistakes make this a heartwarming tale. The story is peopled with characters of all ages that are carefully plotted and stay true to themselves. Comedy rules the day with wit and charm, and sweet romance is truly the name of the game.
