Power Play by Deirdre Martin
Celebs faking love
Same plot as the SEP
But here I love it
Eric’s a player
Both in hockey and dating
His new team hates him
Monica? Soap star
In trouble — about to be
Upstaged by rival
Cure to their problems?
Fake romance for publicity
It’s a win for both.
What’s fake becomes real
They fall for each other fast
Will true love fix all?
What I liked about this:
Both enjoyed being celebs
No whiny bitching
Monica wants her
Picture taken, and so does
Eric. Feels HONEST.
Eric is a dork
And at times, sleazy – but I
Like the dual nature
Choosing between this
Book or WHAT I DID FOR LOVE?
No contest. B grade.
This book can be purchased in mass market from Amazon or ebook format from the Sony Store and other etailers.
Chasing Stanley by Deirdre Martin
Another Blades book
This one features Eric’s twin
Jason as hero
The heroine here?
Jewish dog-walker and all
around stick-in-mud
Right away, I feel
these two are DOOMED for divorce.
Relationship fail.
He wants to party
She’s a homebody who loves
Animal Planet
He wants to party
(even more) but she is scared
To meet new people
He lies to her a
LOT. She can’t add him to her
Busy schedule. Sigh.
The only thing tying
These two together? Jason’s
Massive dog Stanley
I love Martin’s story
But I can’t get past mental
Roadblock for these two.
Still like your voice, tho
I am sticking around for
More Blades books. D

I feel an alarming urge to start singing that Vengaboys song.
Can’t say I like the themes of the books, but as always, love the Haiku!
Read both of these books, and pretty much agree with you as well.
I gave up on Martin after Chasing Stanley, the only book ever to make me write a scathing review, something I never ever thought I’d do. As a Jew, seeing the heroine called a kike was too much for me to get past. Sorry. No more Blades books for me.
@Jia:
Happiness is just around the corner! But then again, @Lori:
that makes me, also a Jew, very unhappy.
No Vengaboys party bus for you!
I’m a Jew and it didn’t offend me at all, since Martin was showing the anti Semitism the heroine faced.
