| Bainbridge Hockey Book 1 |
I’m no longer the ugly duckling I used to be. Thanks to a late growth spurt and a nasty puck to the face that knocked my buck teeth right out of my head, I no longer resemble the awkward kid I once was.
As Bainbridge Hockey’s newest center, I’m gonna enjoy every bit of attention the ladies of Bainbridge want to give me.
But I soon find out that looking the part is only half the battle. And if I want to lose my virginity before I make it to the big leagues, I’m going to need to learn the fine art of dating. Or at least how to kiss without being compared to a dying jellyfish. So that means I need help.
But they don’t make tutors for dating. Do they?
One of my best friends has moved on to grad school, and my other best friend spends all her free time with her boyfriend.
And my boyfriend? Oh, he’s a lying, cheating jerk. I learned that the hard way when I caught him in bed with his wife.
Looking back, it’s clear that my ex lied about everything and I wasted almost a year of my life with him. Dating a professor wasn’t my smartest move, but I’m wiser now, and I’ve made a promise to myself: no more relationships.
So when my friends surprise me at the charity bachelor auction and buy me a date with a hot young hockey player, I’m less than thrilled. I mean, he’s nice to look at, but I’m not in the market for anything more than a hookup.
When our date ends in disaster, the last thing I expect is for Will to ask me for a favor. And what I really don’t expect is to say yes.
Scoring Chance, the first STANDALONE in the Bainbridge University Hockey Series, is a dual POV, full-length novel featuring a feisty heroine and a virgin hero. Will’s got a lot to learn about love, and Mel’s got a thing or two to learn about trust.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Mel is done with dating. She learned her lesson when she dated the ten plus years older her than professor of Bainbridge who swore he was divorced from his wife was most definitely not divorced. She thought this guy was different, but she ignored the warnings and now she is miserable and doesn't trust herself to make any good decisions when it comes to love. What she isn't prepared for though is to be swept up by sweet Will. Will has finally escaped home with his helicopter parents and has a lot of socializing to make up for. A bit too sheltered, he plans to go out and enjoy college. While of course playing hockey and keeping up with his grades. But he soon realizes just how awkward he can be around girls and his confidence is blown to smithereens after one spectacularly failed hook up. He needs help. And lucky for him he meets Mel. Sure, their first date (set up by a friend who thought he was helping) is a disaster, but Will takes a chance and asks Mel to teach him how to date girls. And Mel, well she takes him up on it. Especially when her ex is reaching stalking levels. They'll fake a relationship and help one another out. But it's only a matter of time between the lines blur of what is fake and what is real. And I mean how can it not? Will and Mel have such chemistry! These two were so sweet and right for one another. This was such a fun story. And with so many of the other hockey players making an appearance, it seems Will and Mel aren't the only ones with stories to tell. I can't wait to find out what happens next with everyone! Looks like a great start to this series and I can't wait for the rest.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
