And who knew a Canadian accent could be so sexy? Few authors write male characters as authentically as Gibson does, in all their sexy, alpha, and often crude glory. And given that this is a Gibson book, it’s not surprising that Ty is all man.
Ty as well is a strong and likeable character, even if he’s not much different from the standard athlete hero.
I didn’t expect to have much respect for a gold-digging stripper, and it’s a credit to the strength of Gibson’s writing that I did. For the first time in her life, she isn’t quite sure about her role. She no longer has to sell her body to survive, and she’s no longer a trophy wife constantly on display. As for people who might judge her: they haven’t lived her life.įaith is a strong woman who is really struggling to find herself. In fact, Faith is open and unrepentant about all of her previous endeavors. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Faith freely admits that she married Virgil for his money, although in time she grew to love him. Whenever a novel features a “trophy wife” heroine, I expect to find the same old story of a woman who just happened to fall in love with a much-older man, didn’t really marry him for his money, and consequently has been totally misunderstood. The idea of a stripper-Playmate-gold-digger owning the team is seriously messing with his focus, and he worries about the embarrassment she will no doubt bring the team. His one and only goal is to win the Stanley Cup and achieve what his legendary father never could. Ty Savage is a veteran Canadian hockey player and recent acquisition of the Chinooks, hired as the team captain a few months prior to Virgil’s death. But Landon doesn’t bother to hide his hatred of Faith, and after he goes out of his way to humiliate her, Faith decides she’s not going to sell him the team after all.
Since Faith has no interest in hockey, she plans to sell the team to Virgil’s son Landon, who feels the team should have been left to him. In a surprise move, Virgil leaves Faith his hockey team, the Seattle Chinooks. True Love and Other Disasters is Rachel Gibson’s latest entry into the world of professional hockey players, and is just as enjoyable as her previous releases.įaith Duffy is the former stripper, former Playboy Playmate, and just-widowed trophy wife of Virgil Duffy, a rich man 51 years her senior.
