The Barnes & Noble Review
Deirdre Martin, a hot newcomer with a talent for mixing sports and sexy romance, is sure to win over a legion of contemporary romance readers with her hard-hitting hockey heroes. Public relations specialist Janna McNeil may not be an ice hockey expert, but she's a real pro when it comes to image improvement. That's why her new bosses at Kidco are paying her big bucks to get the bad boys on the hockey team they just bought -- the defending Stanley Cup champion New York Blades -- to clean up their act. But even a PR piranha like Janna won't find it easy to put a good spin on a team that prefers strip clubs to charity balls. Bossing around a locker room full of powerful, hunky guys may sound like a dream job, but persuading them to go along with plans that match Kidco's family-friendly image is a publicist's nightmare. Handsome team captain Ty Gallagher's leadership skills are phenomenal, and he lives and breathes winning. Unfortunately, the talent for evasion that means success on the ice makes him the slipperiest of them all when it comes to Kidco's off-ice plans. Janna's persistence drives him wild and soon kindles desire that hits both Ty and Janna like a full body check. But can the lovely all-pro publicist come up with a winning game plan for the future?
