Everybody's Hero

Rating:
Summary: Quick read with sexual tension
Review: I truly enjoyed Everybody's Hero. I'm glad Kelleher didn't analyze the ins and outs of hockey, but rather used the fact that our hero Jason played ice hockey professionally for a living. Also, he's headed toward another interesting career in his future. The sexual tension between Jason and Claire, the photographer who's been following him around for a magazine layout, is definitely hot. Kelleher's writing is amusing as well as completely up to the minute. Gotta love the way she mentions Claire's gray streak too! That's different! Definitely worth picking up!!

Summary: Mediocre but appealing
Review: Plot Synopsis: Claire is a professional photographer who is hired to photograph hockey star Jason. There's instant heat between them, but then Claire's best friend gets Jason to agree to accompany her as his "date" to an ex-boyfriend's wedding. Much confusion ensues.

The Claire and Jason characters are immensely appealing, and we're eventually given decent explanations for their actions. But those reasons, especially for Jason, aren't given in time. The plot seems muddled, sometimes lurching along very slowly, and sometimes moving almost too briskly. The conflict between the hero and heroine comes about far too quickly, with very little development, and is cleared up almost as quickly.

Kelleher has given us some good characters, and the "heat" between Claire and Jason is written well, but the plot is far too uneven for me to recommend this book.
