Another great book by Rachel Gibson that I couldn't put down. This is my favorite out of See Jane Score and Nothing But Trouble mostly because of the characters!

Faith Duffy is wife to the late Virgil Duffy who owned the Chinooks hockey team in Seattle. Upon his death, he left his team to Faith, much to her (and the rest of the Duffys') surprise! She knows nothing about hockey and didn't care for it much before this turn of events, but she decides not to sell the team only to butt heads with the team captain Ty Savage. Their initial feelings soon turn into attraction and a relationship ensues just as the Chinooks take their run at getting the Stanley Cup.

My opinion? Gibson had substance and depth to her characters and plot and I couldn't read it fast enough! Although Faith was a former stripper and Playmate, the story of how she got there, her reasons, and how she changed endeared her to me when I probably wouldn't have otherwise. Ty is strong and belligerent but determined and I loved how Gibson showed hockey in this book. Mentions of Jane & Luc were also nice to see as well as some of the other familiar hockey players in the series. The rushed ending was expected as I've read two of her books before this one where the same thing happened, but it's still a negative point. Overall though loved this one!
