Sensuality: 8
At long last, Seattle Times columnist Jane Alcott has a shot at a full-time assignment. She badly needs the income, but unfortunately, the opening is for a sports reporter traveling with the Seattle Chinooks hockey team and she knows nothing about the game. To add to her difficulty, the team doesn't want her, especially Luc "Lucky" Martineau, the Chinooks $33 million goalie. The team stonewalls when she tries to interview them and they haze her mercilessly; it isn't until the superstitious Luc decides that she brings good luck that Jane gets a shot at being a real journalist. But when her acceptance by the team leads to spending more time with Luc, Jane finds, to her dismay, that he’s more than a handsome, empty-headed sports jock and her heart is in danger.
For his part, Luc learns that behind "plain Jane's" boring dark clothing and black-rimmed glasses lies a quick wit, nerves of steel, and a personality that charms him. And when Jane appears at a team banquet with a new haircut, makeup, and a killer red dress with matching sexy stilettos, Luc's affection fast-forwards into a major case of serious lust. But if Jane lets herself fall in love, she'll have to find a way to explain the secret she's hiding before it becomes public knowledge and Luc's passion turns to hate. Can she bring herself to tell him the truth? And if she does, will he forgive her?
Set in the rough and tumble world of professional hockey, See Jane Score features an intelligent, likable heroine and a hero with depth beneath his sports jock façade. The layered characters, intriguing setting, and the novel's compelling emotional plot all add up to an excellent contemporary romance. Don’t miss this one. --Lois Faye Dyer

Your Going To Love This Book!!,
By
This review is from: See Jane Score (Mass Market Paperback)
I love Rachel Gibson's books. She has such witty characters, dialogue, and storylines that you are easily sucked into her world!In See Jane Score we re-visit the game of hockey and the Seattle Chinooks hockey team. Jane Alcott is a writer who is responsible for writing a colum about living a Single Girl existance and she also writes a steamy on going story of Honey Pie. While Jane is creative in her writing she is not creative in real life. In fact she only wears gray, black, and white and lives the life of a nun. All this is about to change for Jane when she accepts a part-time job as a sports reporter that covers the Chinooks games. Of course Jane knows nothing about the game but that can be fixed. Luc "Lucky" Martineau is the goalie for the Chinooks, he is big, bad, and wanted by the women. He also has no need for reporters especially the female variety. Just wait until he gets a look at Jane. She is a mouse, has no idea how to dress, and worse knows nothing about his sport--yet he finds himself drawn to the reporter and that is not good! Of course both Jane and Luc have enough emotional baggage that would choke an elephant and of course this will be carried into the budding relationship that grows between these two people but fear not there is a happy ending! And their struggle with this extra stuff is funny, touching and just plain fun to read about! This was a great book and it was full of Ms. Gibson's trademark wit and humor! The chemistry between the two characters is beyond hot and you will find yourself unable to put the book down!

Who knew horseshoes could be so sexy?,

This review is from: See Jane Score (Mass Market Paperback)
This early installment in the Chinook series was a bit weak in comparision to the later books. It had the same build up of sexual tension and anticipated but somehow the relationship between Luc and Jane seems to be overshadowed by the other things happening in the story. The "Honey Pie" serial angle was silly to me and I didn't enjoy how that all played out in the end. I didn't find myself sucked into the story like I have the two later installments in this series. Luc is of course the sexy goalie of the Chinooks and Jane is the nosy journalist the team gets stuck with for the season. Neither of them get developed enough to really get emotionally invested in them and their story. I would say this installment was a stand alone piece and is not required reading for the later books in the Chinook stories. It was an OK read but I just didn't feel the same magic as Nothing But Trouble and True Love and Other Disasters.

Positively Delightful,
By
This review is from: See Jane Score (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book to be absolutely delightful. It was a real page turner. I stayed up until 5 am reading it. This book won't be winning any Pulitzer or Man Booker Prizes any time soon, but I think that it deserves five stars for what it is: a highly entertaining, humourous, heart-warming tale of opposites attracting. This book was very skillfully written. The plot was entertaining and the characters had great chemistry. This book would be a good one for any single girl who believes herself too plain to attract the attention of a premier bachelor. This book illustrates that Ken doesn't always choose Barbie. I can't think of a single thing that I would change about this book. Give it a read. I think that you'll like it.
