Reseñas de la Crítica

“With humor and eloquent prose, Gibson brings substance and depth to this loving, modern romance.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Loved it.

This is my first time listening to a Rachel Gibson book. I loved it. Thought the narrater did a good job. I hope audible releases any more of Rachel's books that are available on audio, especially the rest of this series (Chinook's Hockey Team).

Loved It!

Rachel Gibson is on my list of favorite authors, and I really enjoyed this book. I took off one star simply because I wished the end hadn't come so soon...maybe if she'd tacked on an epilogue, I could have given that last one. Susan Bennett did a good job narrating. It has been difficult for me to listen to some of my other purchases because the narrators' voices got on my nerves partway through the book, but that was not a problem here. (And as a bonus, I also think she did a great job reading the steamier parts of the story!)

A good story but....

Every voice sounds exactly the same. It was a little off putting hearing these huge masculine hockey players (with beards), and all of them sound like a soft voice female or little boys. Her version of the Canadian accent was just putting the word (aye) in a sentence every now and then. She doesn't have a bad voice. I would just suggest that they should have done a narrative collaboration with a male to narrate for the men or found a different woman who knows how to play dual roles.

good but

good story, typical sports romance. The narrator has a good reading voice and good flucuation however it's very difficult to distiguish between characters.

Hot, hot hot on ice!

You know, it’s gonna happen all the way through you know what’s gonna happen next, but when it does, it’s freaking fantastic and hot exclamation

Romance on Thin Ice

Phillips delivers another lighthearted and entertaining romance. Hockey Captain Ty
is rough on the outside & so delectable.
He's fighting an attraction to the enticing widow Faith who has inherited ownership of his team. Ice begins to melt as these two likeable characters turn up the heat
until conflict ignites their passion. A fun addition to this romantic series.

Fresh, fun, and sexy!

There is always something charming and intriguing in sports romance. I am HOOKED ! My first book for Rachel was Sam's story in this series. It was good and it made me want to buy the rest of the books in the series. So I bought this as a second book. You do not need to listen to them in order. And this book was SOOOOO GOOOD, I liked it more that I liked Sam's story. It is not a new concept of a story, but it was so well written , funny , witty and sexy. And the narration was so good ! My new addiction .... sports romance ;) love those hockey players ;) buy it and enjoy :)

good book

This is a great idea for a book, well written, good narrator. BUT.... I really take offence to the Canadian hockey player saying "EH" all the time. I am CANADIAN!! And I have yet to met another Canadian that says EH. This is such an insulting thing to put in a book.

Hilarious!

Just what I have been looking for! I finished all of Susan Elizabeth Phillips novels and was desperately in search for another author similar to her! She does such an amazing job of telling a great story with just enough true feeling/steaminess/hilarious moments! Rachel Gibson nailed it on the head! I wish the end was a bit longer. I felt as if it was rushed- but beggars can't be choosers. And she is one of the best contemporary romance novelist i've read in awhile! Couldn't put it down and can't wait to read the rest!

Fantastic!

Loved the characters and dialog. First time reading this author but will look for more. Thoroughly enjoyable read!
