Arctic Titans of Northwood U Book 2: Scoring the Keeper by Hayden Hall

 

Arctic Titans of Northwood U Book 2

Sawyer Price is the broodiest, most stubborn guy I ever had the joy of tutoring. He is also the sexiest, most irresistible jock at Northwood U. His hockey scholarship depends on passing the general courses and I’m the cleverest physics cog on campus. I’m kind of brilliant. Not that I’m bragging. But the line of students in need of my help has got to mean something, right? And because I can’t tutor them all, I’m forced to choose my students another way. The thing is, no matter how smart I might be, I’m a total dating disaster. So when Sawyer and I find a mutually beneficial arrangement, I have no way out. He’s going to teach me how to score a guy. And I would be mad to refuse. After all, everyone is dying to hang out with Sawyer Price. The problem with having no dating experience whatsoever is that my tutor quickly becomes my newest obsession. But a guy like that would never want to have me for real, right? I’m just a hopeless nerd trying to trade my V-card and he’s the star goalie for Arctic Titans. We are polar opposites in every way. Even if we take things a step further, we can never really be together.

It seems like the final dating lesson I must learn is on the subject of heartbreak.

Scoring the Keeper is the second book in Hayden Hall’s Arctic Titans of Northwood U series of gay, college hockey romance novels. Expect fiery encounters on and off the ice, very thorough tutoring sessions, and the emotional rollercoaster of self-discovery, acceptance, and growth into adulthood. Scoring the Keeper can be read as a standalone, but it's more fun to read the books in order.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Sawyer is in desperate need of help. Physics and him just don’t mix and if he can’t pass this class he will lose his hockey scholarship and losing any chance at playing hockey in his future. Everyone tells him the same thing. Find a way to get a tutoring session with the campus’s smartest student: Noah. But that proves to be tricky since every student is hoping he will help them. However, fate may be on Sawyer’s side. He may have something useful to exchange Noah for lessons in physics. Noah may be a genius but when it comes to social interactions he is anything but. Nervous and stumbling, he just can’t find a way to click with someone, let alone get a hook up. And when he sees how effortlessly flirts and gets the attention of guys and girls, well perhaps Sawyer can tutor him in that. But the more these two get to know one another, the more feelings start to form between them. Could they actually have something real? I really loved these two! They were such a great balance for one another and fit super well together. They had such great chemistry and banter, I couldn’t put their story down! Definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
