Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Not one of Deidre Martins best
I hate to give this book only two stars but I had a real hard time getting through it. I found myself going ho-hum most of the time. The story could have been more in depth and it seemed like Ms. Martin was just trying to fill up the pages so she could sell a book. The romance was sweet but not as hot as it could have been. I will keep reading her books and hope this is the only one I found to be a dud.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty good book
I really enjoyed this book. But the one issue I had with it was Katie's obsessive behavior concerning her weight. I understand that the character had been overweight in her past but having her stress over every little morsel of food she ate that wasn't healthy was a bit over the top. The girl wasn't going to gain 50 lbs overnight from eating a donut.

I did love the relationship between the two characters and Katie's interaction with her nephew.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Goal!
This is the best book I have read in a long time. I enjoyed it so thouroughly I could not put it down and read the entire 300 and some pages on Sunday.

This is my very first Deirdre Martin book and I must say I was pleasently suprised. The dialoug was witty, necessary and engaging. The characters were deep and human. And the love story was both believable and passionate.

It was also more than a love story. It was about two people returning to their home town and reconciling their past. Along with this, they had to make some decisions on how their relationship fit into it.

The entire story was nicely developed and the characters came to life. Definately worth the read.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Okay... not the greatest book
This book wasn't bad. It was cute at parts and flowed right along. I have on major complaint. The end seemed rather abrupt. It seems as if our characters had various things to overcome, and *poof* the book ended. I felt like I had bother to read this book and was somewhat disappointed. I don't want to give anything away, but this wouldn't be my very first choice for a romantic read.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A fun book to read!
As a hockey fan, I appreciated the setting of this book. I like the way Deidre Martin writes: snappy, sexy, fast-paced, action-packed yet tender too. The sexual tension and banter was well written and witty, without coming across as hostile and abrasive. The characters were well-drawn, likable despite their flaws. I especially appreciated the subplot of caring for and mentoring Tuck. Both protagonists make a huge difference in his young life, each in their own special way. Kudos to the author for a wonderful story, and I can't wait to read the others in the series.
