Summary: Block out your day - you won't want to put this one down!!
Review: This is my first Rachel Gibson book and I just loved it! Fast, funny, realistic and full of chemistry.

Aspiring journalist Jane Alcott is game to take on just about any job to gain experience and fill out her resume. She writes a "Single Girl in the City" column and she also secretly writes a steamy serial for a men's magazine. Now, she's been given the opportunity to add sports reporter to her repertoire when she's assigned to cover the Seattle Chinooks hockey team. The guys are less than enthusiastic about having her travel with the team and, boys being boys, you can imagine the hazing she has to endure! I must have laughed "Poor Jane" out loud hundreds of times! But winning over the guys is just one problem when you're a sports reporter carrying "Hockey for Dummies"!

Hunky goalie Luc Martineau initally ignores her, since he famously doesn't do interviews anyway, but he finds that he enjoys annoying and sparring with her. She may be short, but she's spunky, tough and can talk trash with the best of them! Luc's had a checkered past that he'd like to forget and he is trying very hard to put his "bad boy" image behind him. And now he has become responsible for a 16 year old sister he barely knows. The last thing he needs is some reporter snooping around.

The verbal sparks soon turn to a sexual attraction that neither really wants. His life is so crazy with career pressure, his awkward, difficult relationship with his sister, not to mention that Jane is hardly his type - short, small chested and smart are not usually qualities he looks for, and yes, he knows what that says "aboot" him! And Jane's bad boy radar is working over time. The last thing she wants is to be seduced then dumped or worse have her heart broken by a jock who normally dates empty-headed Barbie Dolls. Hormones being what they are, though these two wind up together.

I won't go into more, but suffice it to say that complications arise and Luc's trust in Jane is threatened. Personally, I think Luc let her off a little too easily, but that's how love is, I suppose.

A terrific read, highly recommended! Rachel Gibson along with Julie Ortolon are contemporary authors converting this formerly historicals-only reader!

Summary: Rachel Gibson SCORES........
Review: This magnificent contemporary romance by Rachel Gibson leaves readers breathless and enthralled with every page turned. Jane and Luc are two wonderful characters whose chemistry is explosive, enjoyable and especially decadent when it comes to a certain horseshoe tattoo! Readers should be prepared for some hard hits to the heart, smooth talking jocks and even some penalties when secrets are revealed in this story. This book was delightful from start to the finish and readers don't have to be hockey fans to enjoy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very romantic!
Review: I thought this book was very sexy and romantic. It was kind of a tease though because the reader will wonder whether or not the main characters will ever get together! The heat between the characters could melt the ice in a hockey rink! I am not a hockey fan but Gibson did a good job bringing the sport and a romantic story together. I really liked the main character Jane. She was very headstrong, but vulnerable. I especially liked the image and character that Gibson gave Luc, the sexy hockey player that falls for Jane! I definitely recommend this book for any reader who wants a really good, romantic, and sexy story!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it!
Review: Fast paced, realistic, sexy, fun and a great romance on top. Didn't hurt that I'm a hocky fanatic...so I was really watching to make sure she got everything right...which she did. The story was emotional and bopped right along. Another triumph for Rachel Gibson and her fresh voice. Can't wait to read more from her.

Pick this one up and read it through in one day. I dare you to put it down. And if you're not in love with Luc when it's over and done with, watch an NHL game and then you'll understand.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hat Trick?
Review: I'm not too familiar with the terminology of hockey but, I think a "hat trick" is supposed to be a really good thing to achieve. If that's the case, this book scored a "hat trick" with me. Jane is smart enough to capitalize on her relationship with Luc, both personally and professionally. Luc is smart enough to recognize the attraction to Jane, even though she doesn't appear to be his type. The author does a really terrific of bringing these characters to life for me. It doesn't hurt that there is extended foreplay to some steamy sex. Also, I'm not into tattoos but, I'd sure like to get an eyeful of Luc's.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love Rachel Gibson more every book!
Review: See Jane Score was a great ride, I mean read. I think that Rachel Gibson gets me inside the character's heads, thoughts and hearts more than many of my favorite authors. Yeah, Luc is a jock goalie, Jane is plain (not), but there the cliches end. Luc has a Canadian background which is intriguing, while Jane is a secret nympho (in print, anyway). As a journalist, she writes a kind of 'Sex in the City' column, the nympho series for a men's magazine no less, and to my bafflement, was offered the hockey sports column in a major newspaper. It was only interim while the columnist was out sick, but what a gas! Locker rooms (hoo-yah) and jocks!

The humour and the 'I'm gonna die of love' that is really true to life were wonderfully written. And just imagine being the only female with a group of professional sportsmen. The heat can get pretty intense - and so did the envy ;-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fast & Funny
Review: See Jane Score was such an easy read, the dialogue was so quick. It had me laughing outloud at a number of spots. Would higly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys modern romance books with humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!!
Review: I can honestly say that I cannot remember the last time I read a book that I loved this much. I loved Jane...she was so real, and Luc was sexy as hell AND a hockey player..it just doesnt get any better. This story was witty, fast paced and thoroughly delightful. I am so excited that I have discovered Rachel Gibson..this was my first book from her..i am definitely going to jump at the oppotunity to purchase more of her brilliant stories...girls, this is DEFINITELY a MUST READ!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved this book!
Review: This book was great! It combines hockey, humor and romance all in one. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. It makes you want to go to a good hockey game!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A FUN READ!!!!!
Review: Enjoyed the book....reminded me a great deal of Susan Elizabeth
Phillips; however, Ms. Gibson needs to do some research when she is going to reference city landmarks.....The Detroit Red Wings do play at the Joe Louis Arena but that arena and surrounding hotels are located overlooking the Detroit River...not Lake Michigan.....which is a couple of hundred miles away from
Detroit.
