Customer Review

Back cover:
The blows and hunger have learned to Faith Duffy not believe in love. But when she marries her very rich and very old husband, she turns into perfect wife. He then joined the sky, leaving Faith lonely nights, a big bundle of money and a professional hockey team. Damn, Faith never even watched a match!
But most of the United States, and half of Canada closely follow Ty Savage, the team captain. Her sex appeal and her killer forehand make it the favorite of the fans. Throughout his life, Ty has dreamed of winning the Stanley Cup. The last thing he needs is a bimbo fucking up his plans.
Faith hate Ty from the first second, but she can not help thinking about him ... day and night. Then, after a night together, Faith realizes that there is more to him than sex appeal. Ty, meanwhile, discovers that Faith is more than a bimbo. But a relationship with her is impossible, and fall in love ... would be a disaster.

My opinion:
Overall I really liked this book of Rachel Gibson. The heroes are endearing. I like the evolution of Faith throughout the novel. We start from a situation rather cliché of the blonde bimbo, a stripper who married an old worth millions, only for his money. A woman who is defined only in relation to her husband ... but we gradually discovers a woman who will have confidence in it, ainsiq as insurance, as well in his new role as owner of the Chinooks, as in her relationship with Ty. He may be a little less deep for my taste, but it's still chewable ^^
I also liked the humor, always present in the novels of Rachel Gibson, and the true presence of hockey throughout the book. The quest for the Stanley Cup is indeed the theme of the novel, and we see the relationship of the two heroes and forge progress in relation to this event.
However, I must remain somewhat on the reserve with respect to certain points. First of all, I think this book is much like the Chicago Stars, Volume 1: No one but you to Susan Elizabeth Phillips, which is quite disturbing (but hey, I have to instead put that on my love ballads in ^^ sports environment). Similarly, I find Rachel Gibson remains very superficial on the personal reasons that led Faith to striptease. She does that briefly without really explaining what life choices, which nevertheless is the basis of the novel. Finally, I must admit I expected a little pugnacity of the step-son, we finally see that at the beginning and end of the novel. This prevents from my point of view to develop all the "nasty" and potential barriers to their history! The end is a little sloppy on that side.
In short, I loved this book, which reads itself and in one sitting. But he missed a little something to do that I find it great, and I go over that feeling of deja vu.
