I am a dog lover and first read "Chasing Stanley". When I learned it was a hockey story too it couldn't be more fitting. I have loved hockey since we had a minor league team here in Greensboro. I met my husband online and we were IMing back and forth one night when I mentioned that I had season tickets to the hockey games here. He played for the Bruins and could not believe that he had met a female from the south that loves hockey as much as he does. The Blades series is the best series I have ever read. I am still awaiting some of the books to be delivered since I just discovered you. I can't wait. So far, I've read "Chasing Stanley" and "Fair Play". Am just starting "Total Rush" and the others should be here by the time I'm finished with that one. Keep us hockey fans going with the books. I couldn't be happier that my love of hockey (and romance) is now in books that are a pleasure to read. Thanks!! Ouida Campbell <Swtgrits4u@aol.com> Greensboro, NC USA - Thursday, March 05, 2009 at 16:42:47 (CST) I just finished Power Play, and loved it! It leaves me wanting more! Thank you and I'm looking forward to your next book, so please hurry! Jamie in AZ Jamie USA - Sunday, March 01, 2009 at 20:26:38 (CST) Hi! Just read "Power Play". I'm definitely going to read the previous books in the series. I work at a major bookstore, so it's great to have something new to recommend to customers. Thanks! Sara <sara.frederickson@gmail.com> USA - Monday, February 16, 2009 at 17:40:03 (CST) I love your Blades series. As I was reading I caught a few of your references to Ithaca. I looked at the back cover and was excited to learn that you actually live in Ithaca. My husband and I grew up in Dryden and now live in Endicott. It is so exciting to read a great author from our hometown. Love, Love the Blades!! Looking forward to your new series. Great Job! Hopefully for us...there is only a few more weeks of snow & cold weather. Michelle <weston555@aol.com> Endwell, NY USA - Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 21:41:54 (CST) I love your Blades series.

Jennifer <sabreschic6124@yahoo.com> Corfu, NY USA - Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 22:43:45 (CST) Deirdre Martin, I first want to say I think you are a brilliant writer. I have to thank my friend, Kristine, for introducing me to your books. I have not read the books in order, but even if I know what happens I plan to read them. I have read Body Check, Power Play, Chasing Stanley, and The Penalty Box. They were absolutely amazing. I finished Body Check in one day. I just want to thank you for writing incredible stories. I cannot wait to read all your books. Keep writing please and do not stop! Jennifer <sabreschic6124@yahoo.com> Corfu, NY USA - Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 22:39:52 (CST) Hi Deirdre, I was introduced to the Blades Series in‘08, read them in order thoroughly enjoying each character, every storyline and all hockey. I am a true StLBlues fan so I appreciate the reference in the first book of Ty winning the Cup in StL (some season it will actually happen). Because of the resemblance of the Blues jersey on the cover of Power Play - I thought Eric was going to be traded to Stl since he was playing poorly. Looking forward to your next book. Rachel USA - Saturday, January 03, 2009 at 15:07:08 (CST) Hi Deidre, Happy Holidays!!! I just read "Power Play" and I gotta tell you I love it!! It was right up there with all the rest of the blade series. You keep them coming and I will keep on reading them. take care and keep on writing. Cathy M <cmine69@aol.com> Philadelphia, PA USA - Friday, January 02, 2009 at 19:31:22 (CST) I first want to say that I absolutely adore your books!! You are by far my favorite writer!! I love the Blades series, the way that you juxtapose romance and relationships with hockey is amazing!! I happened upon Fair Play last spring in a book store, and this summer ended up purchasing the whole series and devoured them within 2 weeks! Over this past week I have since re-read each of these books and was happy to finally get the chance to read Power Play!! The books just get better with each read!! Please keep writing, your stories have definitely helped me escape to a different state of mind when it was needed most!! Your Fan, Samantha Samantha Ehredt <sehredt@gmail.com> Gurnee, IL USA - Tuesday, December 30, 2008 at 22:47:18 (CST) Hi Deidre, Over the weekend, I happened upon your book, Total Rush. I love it and can not seem to be able to put it down.I have since bought Chasing Stanley, The Penalty Box, and Fair Play of which I have yet to indulge in.I am looking forward to reading all of the others as well as your new ones coming out. You are now "one of my favorite writers" right along side of Nicholas Sparks.Thanks for your great stories. Lori Masterson <lmasterson@mrimedical.com> Tucson, AZ USA - Tuesday, December 30, 2008 at 17:49:24 (CST) I've just finished Chapter 4 of Power Play and I'm loving it, just like your other books. I know I said this back in 2003, but I love, love, love that you combine two of my favorite pastimes, reading romance and hockey. Can't wait to get the new series, as I know anything published with Lori Foster will definitely be a good read. Keep those Blades skating! Brenda Schnarrs <pandachick@wideopenwest.com> Clinton Twp., MI USA - Monday, December 15, 2008 at 20:17:07 (CST) Hi Deirdre, I just finished Power Play which I enjoyed just as much as all the other NY Blades books. It was fun to see all our old "friends" again from the other books, esp. Stanley. Thanks for such a great series! Go Bruins! Bonnie USA - Sunday, December 14, 2008 at 20:54:46 (CST) I just finished The Penalty Box, it has been my favorite of the Blades series so far. The characters and the one liners were great.

Denise <hestraka@mwwb.net> adams, WI USA - Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 18:08:03 (CST) After falling in love with my hometown the Philadelphia Flyers, I was looking for books about hockey. When I picked up your book, it just became the most perfect book I had ever read. I have only read Chasing Stanley so far, but I am enjoying every minute of it. I love this book and it is so true to life because I can understand the situations of both Jason and Delilah. I can't wait to finish Chasing Stanley and get your next book. Thank you for writing such romantically light hearted books.

However I can't seem to find Hot Ticket. Bill <oldlenny2@aol.com> Schenectady, N.Y. USA - Friday, October 17, 2008 at 14:24:27 (CDT) I've had this love for hockey since I was young maybe from watching the 'Mighty Ducks' and ever since then had a passion for it.. and when i came across your first novel 'Body Check' I was hooked! Romance + Hockey = PERFECT! Love all your novels. Read everything you've written.. Considering I come from the UK it's quite hard trying to find your books so I have to order online.. Just finished reading Power Play.. Love it so much and finished it in under 24 hours =] Love the humor between the characters, I would just end up laughing throughout and my younger sis would just look at me in a weird way haha.. keep up the great work.. Can't wait for your next novel! Love Ricci Ricci <LadyRC@hotmail.com> London, UK - Saturday, October 11, 2008 at 04:59:57 (CDT) OK. So I love all your books. And of couse after finishing Power Play I must say LOVED IT!!!! I must say that all your books are amazing, but I think the reason I love this book the best so far is a) My husband's name is Eric; b) he plays hockey; c) we are both die hard NY Ranger Fans; d) I'm a huge soap opera fan and never miss DOOL (Days of Our lives). I can't tell you how much I love all your books. Keep writing. Jackie Olmsted <jackieolmsted@yahoo.com> Massapequa, NY USA - Monday, October 06, 2008 at 20:49:13 (CDT) I love your books! I've never been a reader, I actually used to hate reading but after reading the penalty box I was hooked. I haven't read all your books yet but Chasing Stanley is hands down my favorite book. I a dog border myself, and I'm addicted to hockey so it's perfect! You are an amazing author, keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to all your other books. Sam LaHaie <da_yoyo01@hotmail.com> Cheboygan, Michigan USA - Sunday, October 05, 2008 at 10:22:47 (CDT) I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of yours! I'm a college student, and I got into romances and romantic suspense a few years ago when I was going through a really difficult time in my life. "Body Check" was one of the very first that I ever read, and I fell in love with your writing and characters right away. I love that they make me laugh at times, and the stories are so current, modern. I've read every one of your books over the years since, and I'm looking forward to "Power Play". Keep up the great writing! Meryl K. <mkosschefgrl@yahoo.com> Saint Louis, Missouri USA - Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 21:44:10 (CDT) Love your Blades books. Janna and Ty are of course my favorite. One of my all time favorite scenes of all times in books is "Ty and Sky at the court side. Ty and Sky...". It was great. As a hockey fan Go Wings I can't get enough of the romance in the hockey sector. Keep up the awesome work. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment reading your work. Carla Majeska Carla Vitale Majeska <oldengl729@sbcglobal.net> MI USA - Monday, September 01, 2008 at 20:12:00 (CDT) Oh my goodness!

Please! Dominique Masson <dmasson14@hotmail.com> Eastern-Passage, NS Canada - Monday, August 25, 2008 at 22:13:18 (CDT) Loved the whole blades series keep them coming.we are ardent Hockey Fans with Jr Hockey but still get great action LaVonne Elmore <nwbellgal90@hotmail.com> Sioux City, Iowa USA - Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 10:01:55 (CDT) I did not think that hockey and romance could blend so well but the cover of the book Body Check caught my eye and i was engrossed from the first page. I am so glad that it also happened to be the first book in the series. I have since purchased the rest and am enjoying reading all of them. Can't wait for the new book to come out in October. Lily <BuffaloLil@aol.com> Miami, FL USA - Friday, August 01, 2008 at 12:38:51 (CDT) Hi Deirdre, I just finished reading "just A Taste" and never laughed so much. The Italian and Vivi trying to learning all the American Slang was too funny. Growing up in a very Italian family this brought back many fond memories. I do have a question what and when do you add the butter in Anthony's Ricotta Fritters? I of course would butter the Fritters just before I ate them. Kind of like fried bread dough? My husbands family is from Ithaca and we just love visiting. We are just down the road a piece in Oneida. Well, off to the library to see about you Hockey series. I want to start with book 1, and can not wait. Many thanks for the laughs and looking forward to you next book. Sincerely Kay Kay Malone <rkaymalone@yahoo.com> Oneida, NY USA - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at 05:46:26 (CDT) I have all of your books and have read them over and over with much enjoyment. I work as a librarian and am the "romance" expert. I recommend these books to patrons all the time. My only regret is that they are not available on audio as I listen to books every day and would love these ! I can't wait for the next book to be here. Sharon <sredfernct@comcast.net> Ellington, CT USA - Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 20:38:27 (CDT) I REALLY LOVED THE NY BLADES SERIES. NOT A HOCKEY FAN. I READ CHASING STANLEY FIRST THEN WENT BACK AND READ ENTIRE SERIES IN ABOUT A MONTH. I HAVE ORDERED HOT TICKET AND HAVE PRE-ORDERED POWER PLAY. CANT WAIT TO READ THEM. DALE <scruff88@hotmail.com> DIAMOND BAR, CA USA - Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 09:32:40 (CDT) Cant wait for October to read Power Play. Christine <cbui@bigpond.net.au> Brisbane, QLD Australia - Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 05:15:09 (CDT) Absolutely LOVE your books. My friends say to me "you mean you found romance books about hockey?" I guess only a hockey fanatic (Go Philly!) could do that. I started with Chasing Stanley, the book cover caught my attention instantly at the book store. Dogs and hockey (and romance too), how could I go wrong? Well, I didn't! Had a short hiatus from reading, but stumbled across Penalty Box and I got hooked instantly. I'm on my way to find the rest of the Blades series. I want to start with Book 1 and work my way thru - maybe even re-reading the ones I already read. I love your comedic wit throughout too. I actually find myself laughing out loud when reading these!! Thanks for combining my two great loves in life -Romance Stories and HOCKEY!!! Mandi <mandiruns@comcast.net> Annville, PA USA - Friday, July 18, 2008 at 18:11:56 (CDT) I love your books.

Charlotte, Roslyn, NY USA - Thursday, April 19, 2007 Well, now I have read all five books. They were all great!

All five in less than a month! stacey, greenwood, In USA - Wednesday, April 18, 2007 So let me just say...I love these books. I am a figure skater and I have been doing it all of my life. Naturally, this leads me to an attraction to the sport of hockey and of course, its players. My friends make fun of me constantly but not i can use these books for my hockey player fix.

Sydney Rasp USA - Sunday, March 18, 2007 I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your new book "Chasing Stanley". I loved all the characters. It was just a real "feel good" book. No murder, rape, over over-drama, just people living their lives and trying to figure things out. It gave me such a good feeling that I ordered every one of your other books and read them all! What a pleasureable experience it has been. I'm sorry that I'm done with them and look forward to your next book! Hugs, Beth Treier Beth Treier, Warren, Michigan USA - Saturday, March 17, 2007 I just finished Chasing Stanley. It was awesome!

Patty Lacey, Chaptico, Maryland USA - Tuesday, February 27, 2007 I finished "Chasing Stanley" the other day and it's now my favorite of your novels. "Fair Play" comes in at a close second but, really, they're all amazing. Your characters are always realistic and enjoyable. I loved in "Chasing Stanley" how you brought all the characters from each of your novels into it. It made me smile as I was reading! Thank you for writing hockey romances! :) Laurie, Fort Wayne, IN USA - Tuesday, February 27, 2007 I just finished reading Chasing Stanley. It was great!!

Lisa, Magnolia, Arkansas USA - Friday, February 23, 2007 HI..I have just finished Chasing Stanley and I loved it!.I'm a huge NY Rangers and NJ Devil fan, being orginally from NJ and come from a hockey family and a big fan of dogs (animals in general)that I was just so engrossed in this book.. Delilah just cracked me up and I understood her so well and of course fell in love with Stanley..Your writing sucked me right into all the characters and just couldnt put the book down..I loved the humor and you now have a new fan..I am now starting Penalty Box and will be reading the rest of your book..You did a great job and keep up the good work! Nancy, Las Vegas, NV USA - Wednesday, February 21, 2007 I just got Chasing Stanely; read the first chapter and already love it. I have read all your books and being a huge NY Rangers fan (my son Brian is named after Brian Leetch) I absolutely love that your inter-twine romance with hockey. Already looking foward to your next book. Keep up the great writing. Jackie , Massapequa, NY USA - Wednesday, February 21, 2007 Deirdre, I am sorry for the mispelling of your name. In the post above.

Lisa Lisa, Binghamton, NY USA - Tuesday, February 20, 2007 Deidra: I just wanted to let you know I just finished Chasing Stanley and absolutely loved it. I have bought and read all your books. I am so impressed with your hockey knowledge I work with a hockey team and you definetely done your research. Because I can releate to all the players. Every team has these type of characters. I would love to see you write about the bad boy Ulf falling in love. Lisa, Binghamton, New York USA - Tuesday, February 20, 2007 I just finished Chasing Stanley- I read it far into the night because I just could not stop to sleep! It was absolutely wonderful, your best since Body Check. I thought the main characters were much stronger and connected much better than the last two books (I read them all!). I also want to say that I love the ease in which your characters speak to each other, the humor isn't forced, and they don't speak in a manner that is "too hip," which A LOT of contemporary novels do (I find myself asking "Who talks like that in real life?) Also many of today's "funny" books work too hard at it and are just too unbelievable- yours are just right! And, as a Jewish girl from NYC, I could really relate to Delilah! My husband, a huge hockey fan, is very impressed with all the hockey interest I am suddenly having, too! Can't wait for the next one! Lisajoy, Monroe, NJ USA - Sunday, February 18, 2007 Just finished Chasing Stanley...it was just as great as your other books. Loved it! Thuan, Carrollton, TX USA - Saturday, February 17, 2007 I loved Chasing Stanley as much as I have all of your books.

Melissa Ives, Glens Falls, NY USA - Friday, February 16, 2007 I'm in the middle of Chasing Stanley, and was at work on Sat, turned around to see a Neuf standing there. I asked the owner his name..."Stanley". I fell over. Thanks for another great book! EllenNJ USA - Wednesday, February 14, 2007 Just finished reading "Chasing Stanley". You have captured the excitement and realism of hockey along with romance. The scene at the Temple was quite humorous; sort of a senior citizens version of "The Graduate".Everyone should have a lovable dog like Stanley. Thank you for an enjoyable read.

After reading the foreward on both books and realising they appealed to my quirky British sense of humor i decided to give them a chance. I was blown away. I love the story lines of both books plus it takes an extremely good book to have me laughing all the way through it. These books have done just that.

Judy Flohr, Cincinnati, Ohio USA - Sunday, February 22, 2004 I loved everything about Fair Play - the story line - Michael and Theresa - the Italian phrases.

Pat L., Bohemia, NY USA - Tuesday, February 17, 2004 I loved both books. I too mirror other comments by hoping that you have a NEW book coming out soon. Please write faster.

Can't wait for your next book... Leslie, Nashville, TN USA - Friday, February 13, 2004 Just finished Fairplay. Michael was beyond yummy-even better than Ty and I thought he would be hard to beat! A bunch of us over on Suz Brockmann's board would love to see(or at least hear)that Michael just nails Lubov when they meet because we don't feel that he's suffered nearly enough. Keep up the great work but one thing...write faster-please. Jan, Durango, CO USA - Friday, February 13, 2004 Deirdre, I just finished reading Body Check last night and loved it! I really liked the combination of romance and sports. Janna and Ty were really fun to follow. I also wanted to mention that what made this an outstanding book for me was your supporting cast, particularly Lou. What a great character with heart, no pun intended. I have Fair Play on the stacks to read too. Can't wait! Keep up the great work!! KariMN USA - Wednesday, February 11, 2004 Thank you, thank you, thank you! I loved Fair Play!

Mary Ann USA - Tuesday, February 10, 2004 Loved your 1st book. I was slowed down in this one because of the Italian words I didn't understand : gavone, cafone, poseur, paisan, farabutto, vaffanculo, ubatz, madonn, cidrule, bucone, cogliones, faccula, maleducato, agita, sfacciato.... I really needed a Glossary at the end of the book. Sheri LeeVirginia usa - Tuesday, February 10, 2004 I just wanted to let you know how much I loved Fair Play!!!

Get a move on girl, flood the market already. :-) Tracy USA - Sunday, February 08, 2004 I really loved both books. You have done an excellent job. What is next? Hopefully, we won't have to wait long.

Tahere' Skees, Elizabethtown, Kentucky USA - Wednesday, February 04, 2004 I have been waiting to read Fair Play for almost a year. I am happy to say I was not disappointed. Congratulations on another fine novel. Can't wait for the next one!! Bethanie, McHenry, IL USA - Monday, February 02, 2004 I have both of your books and was unable to put either of them down once I started reading! I loved Body Check and ordered Fair Play before it was even on the shelves. As far as I'm concerned, both of your books are refreshingly funny and original. I am looking forward to your future works! Thanks for sharing your talent! ChristineMA USA - Sunday, February 01, 2004 Excellent work, I just read the excerpt, and it is fantastic! I will definitely be going out to buy both your books as soon as I can. (Got my little girl's 5th birthday party today.. eek!) It's great to see that there is someone else who shares my passion of romance novels and hockey... I wasn't sure how people would accept that, but you have opened a new door for aspiring writers like me. thanks and congratulations on your success. good luck in the future.

Kelli, Omaha, Ne USA - Monday, November 10, 2003 Hi, haven't read Body Check yet because it's not available at local bookstores, but it really sounds interesting.

Mic, Philippines - Sunday, October 26, 2003 i loved body check. i cant wait for the next one. im a bookstore and i love to sell it.

A last reflection: why we only can enjoy your books once every year ¿????.... l had always thought that after the total success of Body Check ,your publishers would animate themselves to publish more of your books ....lt is frustrating to have to wait until 2005 to read your third book ¡¡¡ elisa Vigo, Spain - Monday, September 15, 2003 Hi, l read "Body Check " five months ago and l really liked it . It was a beautiful surprise .... ; l´m now in my third re-read ,and enjoying it. I discovered the book thanks to the girls in Suz Brockmann´s bulletin board who spoke wonders about it. Deirdre , l only want to tell you "congratulations " and "thanks" ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ . l think Body Check is a keeper. elisa, Vigo, Pontevedra Spain - Monday, September 15, 2003 I really enjoyed Body Check, I can't wait for Fair Play to come out. I am always looking for new autors. Monique, USA - Saturday, September 13, 2003 Deirdre, it's so nice to find a great new author. I am reading "Body Check" for the second time and I am really looking forward to "Fair Play" in February. Sallie Cox, murrells inlet, sc USA - Saturday, September 13, 2003 I just read Body check in only one day which was an amazing effort seeing I also had to spend 9 hours at work as well! I think it was an excellent romance book that also dealt with some heavier issues. Mostly I want to thank you for making Janna such a smart character. It was refreshing that while she was insecure she was also career focused and really really good at her job, I found it inspiring to read about a strong female character who held her own in a male dominated field and her gender was never much of an issue. Thank you very much. I can't wait to read Fairplay and all your books to come. I don't know much about Hockey but I am thinking that I might want to learn some more. Victoria, London, England - Wednesday, September 03, 2003 Hi Deirdre, As a female hockey fan, I enjoyed reading Body Check immensely and look forward to your next book. Not enough is written about the best sport, so thank you for providing us with a great read. Also glad to hear you enjoy living in Ithaca. Being from Utica and having a hockey playing son, I've had the pleasure of visiting there quite often on cold, snowy mornings! :-) Debbie, Clinton, NY USA - Sunday, August 31, 2003 I loved "Body Check" and am looking forward to reading Theresa and Michael's story in "Fair Play." LaDonna Burr, USA - Saturday, August 30, 2003 Thank you for such a fun read. I can't wait for your next book. I enjoyed all refrences to Canada, especially Edmonton, but not all Canadian's {even Hockey Players} are back wood hicks. {ha ha ha}. Please keep on these lovely women they are great characters, and I would love to see where they go with thier lives and children {to come?} Lori, Edmonton, Alberta Canada - Friday, August 22, 2003 I just finished reading Body Check and totally enjoyed it. I can't wait for Fair Play! Thank you so much. Tess, Bartlett, IL USA - Friday, August 22, 2003 Thanks for the insight into Ice Hockey. I have to admit that it is one game I would LOVE to go to a stadium and watch (I also love the books about the sport as well). But that's one sport that we don't have here in Oz. Not enough Ice and probably the fact that most of our sporting guys don't like the idea of padding (eg Aussie Rules & Rugby). Any way Keep up the fabulous stories I look forward to more of the same in the future. Thanx. KA, AUS - Wednesday, August 13, 2003 Rachel Gibson just lost the first position as my favorite author. Ever since I read Body Check you definitely outran her. I can't wait to read Fair Play and all the other books you'll hopefully provide your readers with. Thanks for such a great book!!! Ulrike, Duisburg, Germany - Wednesday, August 13, 2003 I really enjoyed Body Check and am anxiously awaiting Fair Play. I hope you keep writing these types of books. Kelly Groppi, Weed, CA USA - Sunday, August 10, 2003 bought your book because i loved the red high-heels on the cover! not sure if that's a really good reason though. however, loved the contents even better and can't wait for 'fair play' to arrive in january'04. best of luck with your future books. kind regards from one of a growing number of fans. linda from hong kong linda da cruz, hong kong - Thursday, August 07, 2003 I was browsing through Kinokuniya, a really LARGE bookstore when I came across your book. The cover was really attractive and when I picked it up to read the summary, I knew this was the book I've been searching for. If this was ever made into a movie, it'll be really sort of like perfect! And I would really want to know who would be Ty and Janna. Awesome book, if you ask me! princess, Singapore - Sunday, August 03, 2003 I just finished Body Check and have been surfing to find your other books. This one was awesome. It is so nice to read a feel-good" book from beginning to end. Of course I wish the team was from Boston ( I lived there, with the Bruins, for 20 years before moving to CA.) Thanks again for a wonderful read! Barbara Reichard, Walnut Creek, CA USA - Wednesday, July 30, 2003 A friend clued me in to "Body Check" and I loved it. I would read a bit at a time before bed and would never want to stop for shut eye... I always wanted to keep going! I was also excited to see that after I read the book, at one of the local hockey games they were handing out "Body Check" bookmarks to advertise the book. They certainly got the word out. And I could relate to the book on many levels, as a hockey fan, hockey writer and as a girl wanting to get into PR. Great job! I can't wait for "Fair Play"! Kate K, Rochester, NY USA - Wednesday, July 23, 2003 I've read Body Check TWICE!! I enjoyed it immensely. Now I need a hint when Fair Play will be out for sale and can't you please give us another little hint on the title of the new Contemporary that you just sold to Berkley??? Please, pretty please???? CeeCee, USA - Wednesday, July 16, 2003 Oh my gosh I just finished reading 'Body Check' and its the best book I have ever read. I'm a hockey fan and I got some hockey and a love story all in one with this book. I can't wait to read 'Fair Play' Briana, USA - Sunday, July 13, 2003 I adored your book, fell in love with Ty and I have only one request. Could you please write faster??? Tina Denver, CO USA - Saturday, July 12, 2003 Thanks for writing a hero who is not a corporate executive. I sure hope you are helping to trailblaze a new line of romances with heroes with interesting jobs! Without knowing a thing about the NHL, I still enjoyed the locker room scenes and the players themselves. Now, envisioning the hero taking out his dentures...that's a new one, too! But heck, those historical pirates probably had no teeth AND no dentures, but we read about them, don't we? Thanks for breaking down some barriers. Caroline, Lake Mary, FL USA - Wednesday, July 02, 2003 Body Check is one of the most fun books I have read in a long time! I read alot of books, but I didn't want this one to end. I can't wait for Fair Play, and hope that you write many more books in the future. Tanya Light, Union, KY USA - Wednesday, July 02, 2003 Hi Deidre, I just want to thank you for writing such a wonderful book featuring two of my favorite things in the world - Romance and Hockey!

I can't wait until Theresa and Michael Dante's story!!! Looking forward to "Fair Play." You are a great writer, please keep up the good work. CeeCee, USA - Monday, June 23, 2003 BODY CHECK was the second hockey romance I read, but the only one that knew hockey. Great job! Christine Hyatt, Raleigh, NC USA - Sunday, June 22, 2003 I've just finished "Body Check" and I loved it!! I loved the characters, the realism, the funny lines... everything! As you can tell, I'm an Italian reader, (I bought your novel in a bookstore in Venice -- isn't that cool? :D) so I'm even more eager to read your next book! P.s: there's something that surprised me in the preview of Fair Play: as an Italian, I've never heard the word "zoccolo" used to insult a man. Usually it's only used for women, "zoccola"... Martina, Vicenza, Italy - Wednesday, June 18, 2003 I am in the middle of Body Check and already can't wait for Fair Play. I also want to say congrats of the newffies, I am proudly owned by a 5yr old female named Cleo, she is the best dog I have ever had, not as big as the males but big enough. Great bread very people oriented, enjoy your 2 new family members. Emily, CA USA - Wednesday, June 18, 2003 My son plays tournament hockey so I know more about hockey than I ever wanted to.

Patti Fleishman, Ohio USA - Friday, June 13, 2003 Hi Deirdre, thank you so much for your great book "Bodycheck". I hardly can´t wait for "Fairplay" to release. Tanja, Erlangen, Germany - Tuesday, June 10, 2003 My boyfriend is from Buffalo and missed hockey living down here in PA. We finally got an AHL team 4 years ago. When he told he was going to buy season tickets I thought what the heck am I going to do sitting at 40 hockey games. Now I absolutely love the game, almost as much as he does. Having great looking guys on the team doesn't hurt either. I happened to see the cover of Body Check and since I love Hockey decided to give it a try. I absolutely loved it! I'm going to recommend it to all of my friends and can't wait for Fair Play to come out. I'm also a licensed veterinary technician so finding out that you're also an animal lover is great. Glad to see you adopted an adult dog with disabilities. They deserve a good home too! Good luck with the lads!!!!!!!!!! Kathy Ruane, Scranton, PA USA - Monday, June 09, 2003 Deirdre: I LOVED BODY CHECK!!! I have been a hockey fan since my high school days and living in Atlanta, it hasn;t been an easy task!

Keep up the great work Lee Anne Carr, Whitby , Ontario Canada - Wednesday, May 28, 2003 I picked up Body Check not long ago, and finished it in a day. Great book! I'm a recently converted hockey fan (although it's difficult to follow Ice Hockey in Australia!) and I absolutely loved finding a romance set around my new favourite (okay, second favourite) sport. The excerpt from Fair Play already has me laughing out loud, and I can't wait till it comes out! Great work! Anne, Victoria Australia - Friday, May 23, 2003 I bought your book on the glowing DIK recommendation on All About Romance. I'm not much of a sports fan in my romances but with you, JOCKS RULE!!!! I can't wait for Fair Play to come out. I liked your book so much, I put it on the Pedestal at Slake.com and somebody else read it because of that!!!! Keep up the good writing and, very important, keep those hot sex scenes coming. I thought I wouldn't recover from the kitchen scence in BC... islandelf, Port-au-Prince, Departement de l'Ouest HAITI - Wednesday, May 21, 2003 If you’re a fan of Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Rachel Gibson you’ll LOVE Deirdre Martin! This is “laugh out loud” funny and I couldn’t put it down (and…I don’t even like hockey). Thanks for sharing your wonderful gift of writing with us. This is one book I’ll read again and again. Kate C., San Francisco, CA USA - Wednesday, May 21, 2003 I loved this book! I've put you on my "keeper" list! We need more "romantic comedies"...thanks for writing such a delightful book! Can't wait for your next novel! C. Harding, Half Moon Bay, CA USA - Wednesday, May 21, 2003 I am a huge hockey fan and body check was a really good book from my point of view. It seems as though the book was about me since I would llike to work for a hockey team after high school and college!! Not only that but Janna and i really seem alike, anyway I can't wait untill fair play!! It sounds like another good one!!! Have you thaught about making body check a movie??? It would be a good one!! Paige Gagne, Pittsburgh, Pa USA - Monday, May 19, 2003 I loved reading Body Check. I cannot wait till Fair Play comes out. Thanks for writting a great book!! Molly Fry, Apple Valley, minnesota USA - Sunday, May 18, 2003 Dear Deirdre, I'm a voracious reader, which means a read a lot of so-so books. So I thank you for "Body Check," the best book I've read in a long time. All the elements I look for are there: great writing; a believeable plot; intelligent, interesting lead characters I can care about, who change and grow; even secondary characters I care about, like Will and Theresa; great love scenes; and a happy ending. The hockey element never became overwhelming; I'm not a hockey fan, but I understood what you wrote without ever feeling it was too much. And as a former PR person, I appreciated Janna's grappling with questions of integrity. I could relate! "Body Check" is the kind of book I can open to any page, start reading, remember what's coming next -- and keep reading, because it's just so well written. Thanks for a great read! Laura Arnsbarger, Oceanside, CA USA - Sunday, May 18, 2003 I enjoyed your first book Body Check, and looking forward to your second one dun out next year, hope you keep you the good writing.

Had lunch with your parents the other day and we had a ball catching up on old times. They look fantastic! Just finished Body Check, and, as one who edited a romance novel this year (written by my doctor), I found your book so much fun to read. It's energy carried me effortlessly from one chapter to the next, keeping me chuckling and enjoying the characters (especially Theresa and Lou). You balanced the humor nicely with the MacNeil family problems, too. Well, I'm proud to have known the author of a published novel in her earlier days, and eagerly await your sequel. Hi to Mark, whom I fondly remember from a day trip to Cooperstown from Lake George so many years ago. Good luck with your new Newfies! Glenn Baldwin, E.

And I totally agree with you that Britannia rules. Sibylle A, Enger, NRW Germany - Sunday, April 27, 2003 WOW! Hockey and a romance novel, a dream come true. Thanks for writing such a great story.

I have read a lot of romance novels, and this book was better than some of the books by authors that have been around for years! As USA today says, "a dazzaling debut." I read the excerpt for "Fair Play", and i LOVE the whole "him liking when she curses at him in Italien" thing, it looks so awesome, just want to wish you luck with other books, though I know you won't need it! Katie, USA - Saturday, April 19, 2003 I really enjoyed Body Check and I look forward to reading Fairplay. I can't wait. Sharonda, USA - Monday, April 14, 2003 Loved the book Body Check. January 2004 is so long to wait to read Fair Play - I will mark my calendar so I can be sure to get a copy. Islay Meier, Rosetown, Saskatchewan Canada - Sunday, April 13, 2003 I have been a avid hockey fan for over 30 years and throughly enjoyed Body Check. You did a great job on how the feeling of hockey is seen from the player. It is Cup season and I am really thankful that a writer can bring sports into the romance field. Looking forward to your next book. Please write FAST. marcia, yardley, pa USA - Friday, April 11, 2003 wonderful. I couldn't put it down. I am really looking forward to Fair Play.

LORI DANIELS, Rochester, N.Y. USA - Tuesday, April 08, 2003 Wow....and I mean WOW...just finished BODY CHECK and I'll have to tell you it's been a long, long, long time since I've been blown away over a book. It was f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c!! I'd almost say that this book was written specifically for me. It had everything I've ever wanted in a book. I liked every single character, even sleezy Lex. I loved/hated Ty half the time and your writings made me feel as Janna was feeling. The sexual tension was just enough, the sex scenes were fantastic! Please don't take my words lightly..I've been reading romance for 25 years, have a TBR pile of about 200. I've read lots of authors, favorites are: Lori Foster, Janelle Denison, Suzanne Brockmann, Rachel Gibson, Kinley MacGregor and Julie Garwood. I have to tell you, you rate right along beside those gals. You've become an "auto-buy" for me!!!!!!! I just can't say enough...it was a wonderful book and I can't wait for FAIR PLAY. Can I make a request? Please write faster and MORE, MORE, MORE...teeeheee! A new fan, Susan Routt, Bellflower, California USA - Tuesday, April 08, 2003 KEEP UP THE GREAT WRITING!! HAVE A GREAT YEAR!

Much love, Paula xoxo Paula Epps, Ithaca, New York USA - Wednesday, March 12, 2003 Hi, I am an avid romance reader. Right now, they are helping me through a difficult pregnancy but are a constant in my life. I just love to pick one up and read it cover to cover and get lost in the characters, the setting and the tension! Ahh. Nothing better! Well, except a nice evening with my husband and kids!

I have never been able to find a hockey themed romance, maybe I dont look thoroughly enough...but I came across this one at Border's and WOW!!! It is great!!! I am a huge hockey fan---live, breathe hockey...etc..there is always some sort of hockey game on TV around my house! I just think you are a fantastic author--what a way to debut!!

Thank you for a spectacular read!! Amber Cortina, Detroit, Mi USA - Sunday, March 09, 2003 I'm a bookstore manager/avid romance reader and I get all the new books as they hit the receiving cart. Body Check was wonderful- a good story, great sexual tension, a truly manly hero, and a bright intelligent heroine. It kept me up reading till 3AM which is the true test of a book! I look forward to Theresa's story and will recommend your books to all of my romance customers. Vickie Delaney, Jacksonville, FL USA - Sunday, March 09, 2003 Hi Picked up your book by chance and really enjoyed it.

Canada - Saturday, March 08, 2003 i loved ty and janna's story can't wait for fair play megan jolley, fitzgerald, ga USA - Saturday, March 08, 2003 I read this book on the advice of my big sister from NJ (who also happens to work in a bookstore). As an avid romance reader and a life-long New York Rangers hockey fan living in South Carolina (not exactly hockey country), I was thrilled with Body Check. The characters were fun and the subject made it a book I couldn't put down. I can't wait for Fair Play to be released. Thanks for writing this story! Sylvia, Summerville, SC USA - Saturday, March 08, 2003 Being from Toronto (hockey capital), I thoroughly enjoyed Body Check. As Don Cherry would say, "those damn russians (Lubov).

But my husband says I'm close to it. I enjoy a good book, a good romance, and I love hockey. When I found your book it was a must-have on the spot. Thank you for writing it!!! I thoroughly enjoyed the story! It gave me a different perspective of the player in general. What it involves and the commitment it takes, and the toll it takes on their personal lives. Outstanding, and funny, and rather touching!! Shannon Stockton, Challis, ID USA - Thursday, March 06, 2003 I read your excerpt for Body Check and I'm dying to go out and buy it! I don't know why publishers insist that rock stars and pro athletes don't make good heroes...they are the sexiest group of men we all dream about! Ty looks quite drool-worthy. I will be buying the book pronto! Caroline Phipps, USA - Saturday, March 01, 2003 Picked up your book due to the Desert Isle Keeper status review on the All About Romance website. Boy, was I glad I did. I really enjoyed it! Can't wait for Fair Play Linda Griffith, Easton, PA USA - Saturday, March 01, 2003 God, I loved that book!!

I was drawn in by the ice hockey as subject matter...but stayed for the fun read. It's hard to be a hockey fan in So.Cal. Thanks for reminding me I'm not alone. 2004! Can't you write any faster?:) Read your bio...our family moto is, "Just because you can doesn't mean you should". You may borrow it should the occasion ever rise. Thanks again for the fun read. D.
