This is my favorite of all the Deirdre Martin Hockey books - the heroine is strong, the hero is sexy and the situations realistic. No big mystery, no convoluted plot - just life and romance.

i loved how this book wasn't all about sex. however, it did have its tasteful scenes. this is the very first book that ever actually made me cry as well. the characters were truly hilarious. (Lou, for example). The character development was done very well too. i loved Martin's use of words to describe many of her characters. this definitely is a book that keeps you hooked.

This was my very first book by the author and I wasn't disappointed. I loved Ty and Janna and their very cute love story, and, the best part is that you don't need to know about hockey to like this book. My only complaint would be that I wished their love story had a little more depth to it with more interaction between the main characters. Lot of people have compared this book to Rachel Gibson's See Jane Score and for me, personally, that book was a little more realistic and heartwarming. To end on a positive note, this is an entertaining book and I will certainly be reading more from this author in the future!

A lot of people have been comparing this book to Rachel Gibson's "See Jane Score" and "Simply Irresistible." I found "Body Check" to be much better than those two. Even though this book has less in the graphic sex department (which I enjoy as much as the subsequent girl), the character development is much better than Rachel Gibson's books. Janna comes of as neurotic, but still clever. She's smart because we can see she is, not because the author tells us so. Rachel Gibson's heroines tend to do and say stupid things and never realize that they are doing themselves a disservice. Janna makes mistakes, but is smart enough to realize that she's done so. The same goes for the male characters. Even with Ty's rather sudden change of heart at the end, Ty as a man seems pretty grounded in reality for a romance novel hero - especially when he doesn't know how to handle his girlfriend's problems.
This book is also well written, not just in the characters' grammar, but in the hockey as well. The little brother, Wills, is written very believably (again unlike Rachel Gibson's strangely written child characters).
Overall, a good piece of candy! I never wanted to slap either of the characters.
Rated by buyers -
This book is for every hockey fan with a romantic heart. It delves PR world, the crazy road life of Hockey Players , living with rape and most of all a real life romance. Take a chance on this book - I am so happy I did. Off to read Deirdre Martin's new book Fair Play. ENJOY!
