Resumen del Editor

Cocky, man whore, player…. Those are all ways I have been described by the media and countless women. Are they accurate? Possibly. But, that’s all I let the media see of me, Brian Kelly, defensive player for the Indianapolis Eagles Hockey team. I have no intentions of settling down and changing the media's perception of me. I can’t tell if women are after me for my bank account, the status symbol of being with a professional athlete, or if they really want me for me. Then I meet her. The one woman who doesn’t let my charm affect her or cause her to jump directly into my bed. Can I possibly change my ways and settle down?

Grounded, selfless, giving…. Those are all the ways my family and friends have described me. Are they right? Possibly. But, I’m so much more, and need some passion and excitement in my life. My best friend is moving on and I want that someone special to share all that life has to offer. Let it be known that I, Kinley Williams, want the right someone special. So why did he have to crash into me? The one man who is so clearly wrong for me. Then again, he doesn’t seem like anything the tabloids claim him to be. So is he really all that wrong?

Had potential, but fell flat for me

3.5
The narrators were okay, the female didn’t really have a male impression and the male kept changing his main voice. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between when one of them were thinking or speaking.

This book had tremendous potential, but fell short for me. I don’t shy away from a good intimate scene, but it seemed to have one in every chapter from the time Kinley and Brian got together until the climax of the book. It felt like it was taking away from the story. The other issue I had was that the plot seemed predictable and once I got to a certain point I felt I was skimming more than reading.
As much as I wanted to enjoy Kinley and Brian’s romance, I felt as though their relationship was forced.
I will give this author another read in the future, this book didn’t turn me off of her.
This is MY opinion and you may feel completely different about this HEA.

Nurse, Hockey player, long distance relationship, friends to lovers

loved the 2nd book as much as the first.

My full review will come later after writing it up and posting it on my blog.

Score

Very good story. I did want to slap Kinley a few times, but I resisted. Bryan is a dream. Wonderful narration.

good story

This was fun and easy listened. Both narrators did a good job. You don't have to be a hokey fan to like this story. highly recommend!

Great hockey romance!

Scoring the Player is the 2nd book in the Indianapolis Eagles series. I haven't read the first book and I didn't feel like I missed anything so it can truly be read as a standalone.

Brian is a hockey player who is a player off the ice. Then he meets Kinley. They share a connection that is immediate and while they are both attracted to each other, Kinley has been hurt in the past and is reluctant to jump into a bed with Brian. Instead they develop a strong friendship before finally giving into their chemistry. Can their relationship survive long distance and when a blessing becomes a tragedy, can Brian make Kinley believe that he's in it for the long haul?

The narrators truly brought this story to life. I could feel the emotions in their voices and I got lost in the story. I didn't want it to end.

Scoring the player is an unexpectedly emotional hockey romance with a lot of heart. I look forward to reading/listening to the rest of the books in the series.
