See Jane Score by Rachel Gibson



Series: Chinooks Hockey Team (Book 2)

Format: Paperback

Pages: 384

Rating: 5 Stars

How I Got It: Purchased

                I have re-read this book countless times. It is one of my favorite Rachel Gibson books.

                I love Luc and Jane so much. Luc is great. He has some personal struggles, but they show how sweet he can be. And Jane is this odd blend of physical insecurity and sexual confidence that works. And they play of each other so well. I love antagonistic couples who fall in love, but it’s hard to do well.

                Plus, I love the way hockey is incorporated. If you don’t know anything about hockey there’s enough information to explain, but it’s not overkill. It helps that Jane doesn’t know anything either.

                If you’re looking for a good Rachel Gibson book I suggest this one. And if you know any good books that take place in or around the world of hockey let me know because I would like to read more.

What I Love About You by Rachel Gibson

                I’ve been a little disappointed with Rachel Gibson lately. I did like this better than Run to You, though. Honestly, her books are usually hit or miss for me.

                This book was full of some Rachel Gibson standard story points: kids, Idaho, battling addiction.

                There were moments when it felt like a four star read. I liked Natalie and her daughter, Charlotte. Her ex-husband was an interesting story point and I’m glad he wasn’t a complete ass. My favorite relationship was the one between Blake, Charlotte, and Sparky-the dog.

                But some other things brought my rating down. My main issue is how quickly the “L” bomb was dropped on both sides. Especially for Natalie. I felt she barely knew anything about Blake when she decided she was in love with him.

                And Blake seemed to shift from being anti-relationship to madly in love crazy fast. There was actually a point where I turned the page and so did his personality. So, naturally I thought some pages went missing. But, no.

                Even though this book was a disappointment I’ll keep reading Ms. Gibson’s books, because when they’re good they are great. If you’re looking for a good one I would suggest most of her hockey player books like See Jane Score or Nothing But Trouble

Thanks for reading!
