Kind of smart chick lit, light hearted and humorous but tackling serious issues like being 40 and single, being 40 and dating a younger man, having a jet setter lifestyle that makes it difficult to create bonds, being a woman and being into a man's sport, being away from your family, in hospital and trying not to scare them, etc.Being single in Buenos Aires is a bit like walking into the lions cage, scary and attractive at the same time.

It was an interesting read, the descriptions were nice and the Spanish words inserted were a bonus added to the story.I will recommend this book to my friends for a quick and easy summer read." - Amazon Review"This is a new author to me. The story was very interesting as I like stories with older characters. We get to follow Roxy while she is in Buenos Aires. It's an easy enough read that kept my interest. I don't know anything about Polo but this was fun to learn a few things about. I'll follow this series to see what is going to happen next!" - Amazon Review"I had no idea polo and Argentina were of any interest to me, but this book made me want to know more. It's a true X-ray of Roxy's Argentinian adventure, written as a journal, and it stands out in terms of authenticity and flavor. The cultural diversity is beautifully depicted." - Amazon Review
