See Jane Score (Chinooks Hockey Team, #2)
by Rachel Gibson
by Rachel Gibson
3.5 stars. A good, solid, pleasant sports romance. Reporter feels she is not attractive enough for a hockey star.
STORY BRIEF:
Jane is a feature writer for the Seattle Times and is known for her monthly “Single Girl in the City” column. She also secretly writes pornographic short stories for “Him” magazine called “The Life of Honey Pie.” When a sports reporter takes medical leave, Jane is assigned to cover the Seattle Chinooks hockey team for a few months, which means traveling with the team and attending all of their games. The team doesn’t want her there and won’t talk to her other than minimal comments so they won’t be accused of sexual discrimination. They drop their drawers whenever she’s around because they know it unsettles her. Luc is the goalie who hates reporters and never gives interviews. A smaller part of the story is about his teenage half-sister living with him. Her parents died, and Luc is confused about how to handle her.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
Because of other reviews I was expecting too much and was a little let down. It’s not Susan E. Phillips witty, creative and fulfilling, but it is a solid story, and it’s good. The characters and interactions are interesting. It’s about two people who don’t want to fall in love with each other, but they do. Luc fears commitment, and Jane fears abandonment. I had trouble deciding between 3 and 4 stars. I liked it but I can’t say I really liked it which is my definition for 4 stars. Nothing was wrong with it; I just wanted to be a little more surprised, delighted, or feeling stronger emotions than I did.
