Body Check is an Awesome book! I have read all four of Deirdre Martins books and let me tell you if you enjoy Body Check , then get and in this order Fair Play, Total Rush, and The Penalty Box. Martin has since released another called Hot Ticket, and has another coming out called Chasing Stanley, both of which I can't wait to read!

First in a series: after this one you've got to read Fair Play and then Total Rush.
Janna MacNeil is a publicist on a mission - to change the image of the bad boys of hockey: the Stanley Cup Champion NY Blades.
Ty Gallagher is a captain on a mission - to get his team to win the Cup again...at any cost. His determination is legendary, as well as his unwillingness to toe the corporate line.
When the persistent publicist and the stubborn captain butt heads, it's hard enough to crack the ice. But they may end up melting it instead!

Great book by Deirdre Martin!

Ty Gallagher, captain of hockey team the New York Blades, is competitive, focused and stubborn -- especially when it comes to any kind of PR. Janna MacNeil, a tough, persistent newly-hired publicist, is in charge of changing the rep of the team from a rowdy bunch of party animals to a respectable, family-friendly group. Ty and Janna butt heads when she tries him to get him to do some PR, but attraction crackles between them in the meantime. When they finally do hook up, they both agree to keep things casual.. but it isn't easy for either to keep their feelings at bay.

My opinion? This is a great book, couldn't stop reading, didn't want to put it down, think I finished it in a day! Both are strong, likable characters and so real! Ty is sensitive even though he pretends he isn't! Janna is strong even though she thinks she's not! Hockey action was fun too. Love this one, definitely would recommend it :]

I don't read much contemporary romances, I used to read historical romances and now find myself reading alot of paranormal series, but I was curious about the sports angle and am happy to say that I enjoyed this book alot.
I liked Janna's character alot ~ she was a great balance of what every woman is, strong, fiesty, at times uncertain of her own abilities but overcomes them without whinning or having a "pity party", and a very caring heart.
Ty ~ at first glance is a typical jock, but as the story progresses you really do see why he is the way that he is and despite everything you see what a great heart he has.
Looking forward to reading the rest of the series, and maybe understanding hockey just a little bit more.
