Rachel Gibson creates such funny characters that make it so easy to get sucked into her books. This wasn't my favorite of her books, but living in the Pacific Northwest I did reading about Seattle and the hockey players.

I love hockey so this book was a fun read. Its about a female reporter who gets to travel with a hockey team. As you can imagine, she doesn't get the best reception from the team. Its interesting to see how she goes about trying to get on the teams good side. It is also based in WA. Well worth the read, even if you don't care about hockey. *lol*

SEE JANE SCORE was absolutely amazing!!!! Seriously, I'd give it way more than five stars if I could; I got it from the library and I am definitely going to swap one of my PaperBack Swap credits for a copy of this book, since I know this will be a (multiple) future reread for me.
Jane and Luc were great characters and there interactions were very enjoyable; the supporting cast was also great - Jane's friend Caroline was a riot, watching Luc develop a relationship with his sister Marie was very sweet, and the other hockey players (+ Darby) added a lot of humor.
I've read a fair amount of romances (probably an understatement), and though they have most all been historicals, I think it's usual in the romance genre that when an author has one of the main characters do something that creates conflict for the couple and causes issues/a fight towards the end, it's almost always the guy. That's why it was a nice change to have in this book the heroine be the one who does something that causes the conflict (one of Jane's "Honey Pie" articles) and have her be the one with all the regret and guilt and the hero be the injured party.
Basically: wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! READ IT!!

(Plain) Jane Ascott, a reporter, is assigned to travel with the Seattle Chinooks professional hockey team to cover their games. She is allowed full access to the locker room for interviews but the team doesn't want her anywhere near them, expecially Luc Martineau, star goalie. Jane isn't the kind of woman Luc normally goes for but there is something about her that attracts him. This book was a good contemporary...no kick butt heroines or arrogant heroes, just what you might expect from two people trying to establish a relationship.
