There are other "spunky publicist meets headstrong jock" romances out there, but "Body Check" is my favorite.

New York Blades captain Ty Gallagher wants nothing more than to win a final Stanley Cup and be left alone by Blades corporate management.

Janna MacNeil knows Ty is trouble from the moment she lays eyes on his towel-draped hips in the Blades locker room, where corporate has sent her to start spiffing up the image of Gallagher and his teammates.

Deirdre Martin's a good writer who knows how to build heat and conflict. We want Ty and Janna to get together, but not too soon. That's because the pages in between are filled with the kind of humor, fun, sensual tension and drama that make "Body Check" an enjoyable read.
