Summary: Heat, Humor, and Hockey
Review: Deirdre Martin's debut novel is a first-class winner. From the moment we step into Ty and Janna's worlds we're immersed in their lives and - even better - their relationship. It's not long at all before Ms. Martin has us rooting for these characters, hoping they'll be able to pull off their own romantic miracle on ice. Highly recommended.

Summary: a keeper!
Review: After spending a year working Public Relations for a NY hockey team, I was a little worried about reading this book. Boy did I have nothing to fear. It delivered an incredibly accurate portrayal of how stars feel about management and PR and the people sent to "handle" them. I was blown away by the excellent research Deirdre Martin must have done. Oh, and the book was also fun, funny, fast, and hot. I've recommended it to everyone. Definitely a keeper.

Summary: Even better the second time around
Review: Having read and loved Body Check when it first came out, and knowing the sequel, Fair Play, was due out soon, I decided to reread Body Check. It was even better the second time around. This is a real winner and I can't wait for Fair Play which, I've heard, is even better.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I found this book to be a poor rip-off of Rachel Gibson's SEE JANE DATE. The hero in this book is basically unsympathetic until the end of the story because he sleeps with other women, treats the heroine like crap and the in the end, we're supposed to think he's changed. It's too far-fetched. While an ultimate hockey fan who appreciates a story like this...I just expected more plot-wise.

Summary: Really good for a first book
Review: I enjoyed reading Body Check. I'm a rabid hockey fan (went to all four rounds of the '02-'03 playoffs, and saw the sweeps of both the Wings and the Wild), which is really kind of weird when you consider I was raised in Palm Springs, and this book seemed like it could be "A Season in the Life of an NHLer" There are two things I had a beef with, though.1. Janna probably would have been fired for getting involved with Ty in the un-Romanticized world. Most sports teams have a really strict policy about employees fraternizing with players. Hate to say it, Janna, but you...woulda been sacked. 2. Like a Canadian reviewer noted, they are PUCK bunnies, PUCK bunnies! NOT rink bunnies. The only time I even hear the term rink bunny is, oddly enough, in romance novels that have hockey. Please, for the love of Maurice Richard, Gordie Howe, and Wayne Gretzky, get it right. So, enjoy the book, and in the words of Mike Myers, Maple Leafs fan: Game On! (P.S., Disney is nowhere near as bad as Kidco is as owners. Go Ducks!)

Summary: Simply wonderful!
Review: I sat down with a few free hours to start reading this book and ended up reading it straight through to the finish! I loved it. It's not your usual romance, which makes it even better. I won't summarize the story again, but suffice it to say that it was funny, poignantly sad and sexy all at the same time. The story isn't really about hockey which is good because I'm no hockey fan. It is about people with a goal (no pun intended). Two people driven by their careers, Janna and Ty take a while to figure out what's really important to them. They are two of the more believable hero and heroine you'll ever meet. I can't wait for Janna roomate's story!

Summary: Great Behind the Scenes Hockey Book
Review: I really enjoy watching hockey (both professional and college). This was a great book that was a light, easy, and fun read. Seeing what happens behind the scenes in the lives of people working in pro hockey made this interesting for me. It is predictable to some extent but cute.
