| Will Jane Alcott ever make the big time in the world of journalism? She
has a monthly column with her local newspaper, but she wants more. Jane's been temporarily
assigned to be the team reporter for the Seattle Chinooks. Will this be the break she
needs? Well, for one thing, the players are notoriously superstitious. The team is certain
that she will jinx them. Then there is the team goalie, Luc Martineau. He definitely
does not want her there. Why? It is worrying about these things that make Jane unsure of
her new position.
Aside from the reporter job with the Chinooks, Jane is also a columnist who writes under
the pseudonym of "Honey Pie" for a men's magazine. Jane would just die if anyone
found out she is Honey Pie. As much as Jane does really well with her serial, she knows
she'd never be taken seriously as a journalist if the news were ever out.
Why is Luc so against Jane's reporting and traveling with the team? Also, what could
reporter and columnist Jane Alcott possibly find out about him that the public doesn't
already know? That is another concern of Jane's, as she wants an interview with Luc. Since
most of the things written about Luc are half-truths or complete fabrications, he is known
as "tight-lipped" when it comes to interviews. Luc wants his private life to
stay private.
Jane is a woman who is a puzzle to Luc. First of all, why is he so attracted to her? He
generally goes for "Barbie" type women. Jane is short, flat-chested and always
wears black. Why does he feel sucker-punched every time he looks at her? Is it her grit?
Her sharp tongue? And from the very beginning, Jane has to fight feelings of lust for
Luke. For one thing, his horse-shoe tattoo is getting to her. And, as she researches and
reads more about Luc she is continually intrigued.
SEE JANE SCORE is at times hilarious and sensitive. The superstitions and rituals that the
players believed in were quite humorous. Not only did Jane score in this book, but Ms.
Gibson will as well.
