The Way We Score

The Bradford Boys

De: Tia Louise

Narrado por: Patrick Zeller, Samantha Brentmoor

A small-town, accidental pregnancy, sports romance.

We promised our love was forever. A decade later, two little blue lines might settle the score.

You’ve heard of those kids who peak in high school?
Meet my love life.
Garrett Bradford was mine from the moment we saw each other in ninth grade.
Even then, he was a six-foot-four mountain of muscles with bright blue eyes, a wide grin, and a way with his hands.
He was the high school football star, and I was the dance team captain.
We were the storybook cliché… until we weren’t.

Now he’s the most famous offensive lineman in the league, and I’m a buttoned-up, ultra-professional lawyer.
My dancing days are over, and my carefully controlled life is a mess.
Infertility killed my marriage, or that’s what I told myself. Infertility and a cheating ex.
And my inability to get over Garrett Bradford.

One reckless night at his little sister’s wedding is only supposed to be a reunion, a trip down memory lane to a time when life was happier.
Six weeks later, I’m staring at a positive pregnancy test wondering, How did this happen?

I figure I’m on my own until Garrett overhauls his life, moves back to our small town, and shows up every day to massage my feet, hold my hair when I barf, and go with me to all my doctor’s appointments.
Our situation has an end date, just like it did so many years ago.
Unless this little score changes the game and gives us the second chance I thought we’d lost.

(THE WAY WE SCORE is a small-town, second-chance sports romance with reunited high school sweethearts, close proximity, surprise pregnancy, a protective Daddy Bear, parents to lovers, it’s always been you, and found family vibes. No cheating. No cliffhanger. No third-act breakup.)

You had me at Pregnancy trope

Everything about this book is art, performance 🤌🏼impeccable and story amazing! Nothing else to add(MUST READ or LISTE)

Sweetest surprise pregnancy storyline!

This is my first read of Tia's, and it will not be my last! Anyone who can make me fall in love with the surprise pregnancy trope will get my praise, it is not one that I typically go for.

I enjoyed the fact that we got little glimpses of Garrett and Liv's relationship in high school, and it honestly made me a bit nostalgic for the sweet simplicity of high school romance. It also set the foundation for how they would interact when they are faced with each other again, back in their hometown for a family wedding.

I appreciated an MMC who wasn't afraid to step up and be willing to make sacrifices for his baby and baby mama, and Garrett was so quick to drop everything to make sure that Liv was okay. Liv was so strong throughout the whole situation, and I admired that about her. It was so sweet to see them come together as a little family unit.

Onto the narration...Samantha and Patrick both did a phenomenal job as Liv and Garrett, respectively. Samantha has such a soothing, lyrical quality to her voice, and it lent itself well to the more emotional parts of the story. Patrick was a new narrator for me, and I really liked his performance. He possesses a guy-next-door vibe with his voice, and it kept me engaged in the story because it felt very believable.

Going to skip audible and read

Love the series -I’m sure the story is as good as others and will read-FMC narration great as usual (Brentmoor) perfect-but the MC narrator sounds like he is pain -very distracting) made it a few chapters and need to DNF the audible…

You Will Love It

Every book in this series just keeps getting better!! Tia brings my favorite tropes all in one beautiful story. You get a second chance and accidental pregnancy, and I am here for it all.
This quickly became a favorite read of mine.

Garrett and Olivia have that young love that holds strong through the years. And I love that they get a second chance for that love. I adored both of these characters, and I knew they would have a beautiful story.
When Olivia comes home and sees Garrett, you know magic is going to happen.

Samantha Brentmoor and Patrick Zellar brought this story to life, and I couldn't have picked better voices for Garrett and Olivia. Plus, you get this story in duet style!!! Samantha has the best voice, and she can get those emotional moments, and I love it. Patrick is really good at what he does. I thought that he did a great job with Garrett's character.

I love this family, and I love seeing them all find their special people. This family is big and loves hard. I am here for it all!!

feel good daddy 🐻

This audiobook made me so happy. The cast was so upbeat and fun, and the narrators made them shine even brighter. Second chance sports romance + surprise pregnancy + doting dad to be + all the shenanigans. The spice was spicing, and the HEA left me melting.
