In Love & Other Recreational Sports, John Dearie's debut novel, Jack Lafferty is handsome, thirty-five years old, a successful Wall Street banker—and miserable. Left at the altar after his fiancée has an affair, Jack has sworn off women. There's no way he will be snared again, not even by Sarah Mitchell, a bright and beautiful corporate attorney. But just when Jack's romantic torpor finally lifts and he falls for the sensational Sarah, disaster strikes, pushing her away and seemingly out of reach. Getting her back will require a move so bold, so daring, that cautious Jack isn't sure he's up to the task. Or is he?
