Power Play (New York Blades)

Deirdre Martin outdoes herself again in another GREAT Sports Romance book. If you are into sports, this is a must read!!! I love Deirdre's books and cannot wait until With a Twist is out in May!!!

I couldn't stop reading, it was really great. And, if you had the occasion of reading the other books of Deidre Martin, it's always inspiring having the chance to recall the others histories through the characters. I enjoyed it a lot and truly recommend it.

I really liked this book. I loved the minor characters. Martin continues to weave past characters in her books and its great to see what they are up to.

I have read everything that this author writes and I think this one is in the top 3 of her books! Eric Mitchell (twin of Jason 'Chasing Stanley' book) lands a walk-on role on a leading Soap. He makes the moves on the lead actress Monica Geary. They both share the same PR person (Theresa Falconetti from Fair Play) throw the 2 of them together and make some PR news. I like how the characters evolved and were not perfect. I have made North Dakota home, so the references to Eric & Jason home in ND was great. Enjoy another amazing book by Deirdre Martin! If you enjoy this genre I would suggest checking out all her books;Body Check, Fair Play,Total Rush (New York Blades), The Penalty Box (New York Blades), Hot Ticket (Berkley Sensation),Chasing Stanley (New York Blades),Double the Pleasure (coming out 12/2008) and looking forward to her next next novel, WITH A TWIST, that will be out in May, 2009!.

Monica Geary is a leading soap opera actress. When her show, The Wild and the Free, gets a new addition who shows signs of wanting to take over the main spot light, Monica quickly gets her personal publicist on the phone. Soon Monica is in the role of her life. Monica will pretend to be falling for the NHL star and notorious playboy Eric Mitchell. This is hard to do when she has seen how big his ego is. Eric Mitchell is one of People magazine's hottest bachelors and has just been traded to save the New York Blades. What few know is that the entire team watches The Wild and the Free and Eric has had his sights set on Monica for years. ***** On a side note from the actual story plot, let me say that hearing the past and upcoming story lines of Monica's soap opera were terrifically farfetched. (Just like the real soap operas on television each day.) I found myself laughing at such unexpected times. It was a blast! As for the story, off set, I was amazed at how easily the author made the characters seem to blend together. Many people do not make a good first impression, or second, and having Eric come across all wrong was a good idea. The two main characters seemed much more believable to me this way. These two stars will give readers a fabulous run through day time television dramas, on and off the set. BRAVA! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
