Trying to Score

This book scored with me! 4 stars I enjoyed this second chance, fake relationship, friends to lovers romance from the first chapter through the end! I love books that have a great mix of humor, heart and heat, and this book definitely did! There wasn’t much drama which was refreshing! I loved that Sara was smart, fierce and confident. Teddy was much more than just a dumb jock; he was also smart, fierce, confident and went after what he wanted. Sara and Teddy had chemistry from the beginning, and I loved reading snippets of their time together in college. They never told each other how they felt in college, and this finally felt like their time. A thoroughly enjoyable read that scored with me! I received a copy of this ebook from the author for my honest review.

Trying to Score is the third book in Kendall Ryan's Hot Jocks series, but honestly, they can be read in any order or as complete standalone, as each story features a separate couple connected to the same Ice Hockey team. And this one is fast-paced, light on drama, fun and full of sexy moments, and I was easily hooked throughout. Would recommend.

Teddy and Sara are book 3 in the Smart Jocks series. These two had a fling during college. Now Sara's a hot shot attorney hoping for a partnership in her firm. Teddy is a hockey player looking for a new team, new deals, more money... you get the drill. They are both on the upswing of their life, on the cusp of greatness. However, someone hacked in and stole a homemade video they made during their fling. Can you even imagine how terrifying that would be! Also, do people make homemade videos with just flings?!?!? I could have some homemade videos out there as well but you can bet your very last quarter that it would never be created with a fling. Homemade videos are something you make when you're married or nearing marriage. I have a hard time believing a college student, intelligent college students would make a video with a fling. This is really my only issue. It just doesn't feel like real like to me or perhaps I'm sheltered and ignorant but it miffed me bit. Besides all of that, I found them to be pretty darn adorable together. They seemed seriously smitten. They didn't need to fake a relationship because the magnetic pull these two was unstoppable. I love when an author mixes some great genres like Kendall Ryan did with Trying to Score. She mixed two of my favorites... friends to lovers and a second chance romance. Ryan packed it full of her signature heat and heart and it's one of her sweetest Smart Jock books Ryan has written so far! Can't wait for book 4!!! I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
