Disaster Number One: Men Hard knocks and hunger taught Faith Duffy not to believe in love. Still, when she married her very wealthy—and very old—husband, she became the perfect wife. And then he went to that big bank in the sky, leaving Faith with lonely nights, a pile of money, and a total mess of a pro hockey team. Heck, Faith doesn't even watch hockey! Disaster Number Two: Passion But most of America and half of Canada is watching Ty Savage. His lethal sex appeal and deadly right hook make him the favorite of fans. For most of Ty's life, he's dreamed of winning the Stanley Cup. The last thing he needs is a bimbo messing up his plans. Disaster Number Three: Love Faith loathes Ty on sight, but she can't stop thinking about him all day . . . and night. Then a moment of temptation ends with Faith in Ty's bed, and she begins to see there's more to him than sex appeal. Ty discovers there's far more to Faith than beauty and billions. But a relationship with Faith is impossible, and falling in love—that would be a disaster.

An enjoyable story especially if you like hockey but the relationship transition from cold to hot was too abrupt and I never felt the heroine ever really took charge of her life. I skimmed some near the end. Faith's newly deceased husband leaves her a hockey team captained by Ty.
After having read 2 books of the Chinooks Hockey team series, I'm starting to realize the obvious similarities it has with the Chicago Stars series by Susan Elizabeth Philips. This book in particular has lifted a lot of concepts from It Had to Be You. So I may not pick up another book by Rachel Gibs...
This was a fun, fluffy book and a very quick read. I enjoyed it, but didn't love it. But I also felt it wasn't completely connected to the first three books in the series. I liked the hero a lot. I liked that the heroine was doing things to improve her life and not just chasing after the hero, t...
This is actually a 4 star book. The extra star is for Ty Savage. For me, he is the best hero in the Chinooks series.
