I loathe football and you couldn’t pay me to watch a hockey game and yet two of my favorite romance series feature each: Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Chicago Stars (football) and Rachel Gibson’s Chinooks Hockey Team (hockey). Nothing But Trouble is book five in the latter and it’s a very good time. The Seattle Chinooks may…
Romance, hockey, and a long running, successful series of novels by the talented Rachel Gibson. It should be a magical trifecta of my most favorite things. But it isn’t. From its ridiculous set-up, to its slightly dull and predictable conclusion, The Art of Running in Heels is just ‘meh’. I wasn’t familiar with the…
Sometimes fans have to wait a long time for an eagerly awaited sequel. The Art of Running in Heels, the seventh book in the Chinooks Hockey Team series, has been anticipated by many for almost twenty years. When I found out that we were finally getting the story for the precocious Lexie Kowalsky, the endearing…
Despite living in Minnesota for nearly seven years, I never really got into hockey. I mean what’s the thrill of watching a bunch of big sweaty guys pounding on each other with hockey sticks? Then I moved to Denver and got caught up in the spirit of watching the Avalanche as they chased and eventually…
Narrated by Kathleen Early The Trouble With Valentine’s Day is one of my favourite Rachel Gibson books. It’s been years since I read it though and I was curious to see how well the story would hold up. Lea told me Kathleen Early is great so I felt comfortable taking a punt on a new-to-me…
Narrated by Kathleen Early I first read See Jane Score in print several years ago as part of my quest to read all 100 of the current All About Romance Top 100 Romance Novels*. It was my first Gibson, and I’ve long since glommed and totally caught up. The combination of hunky sports hero and…
Narrated by Kathleen Early Simply Irresistible is far and away one of my favorite contemporary romances and will appear near the top of my AAR Top 100 Romance ballot this coming October. Ellen gave this 1998 release a B at AAR when it first came out, but it’s a DIK for me. It’s been on…
Narrated by Kathleen Early The Book Blurb: Georgeanne Howard leaves her fiancé at the altar when she realizes she can’t marry a man old enough to be her grandfather, no matter how rich he is. Hockey superstar John Kowalsky unknowingly helps her escape, and only when it’s too late does he realize that he’s absconded…
Any Man of Mine is Rachel Gibson’s sixth book featuring a sexy Chinooks ice hockey player, and it’s a great one. That’s the good news. The possible bad news is it’s so similar in plot to the first book in the series, Simply Irresistible, I felt swamped by déjà vu as I raced through the…
True Love and Other Disasters is Rachel Gibson’s latest entry into the world of professional hockey players, and is just as enjoyable as her previous releases. Faith Duffy is the former stripper, former Playboy Playmate, and just-widowed trophy wife of Virgil Duffy, a rich man 51 years her senior. In a surprise move, Virgil leaves…
