Scoring Chances Book 1

The last thing Connor O’Shea needs is more complications …

After too much celebrating at his brother’s wedding, Connor wakes up next to cocky Toronto goaltender Jesse Webber—pro hockey’s reigning f*ckboy. With three kids and a failed marriage under his belt, Connor might be ready to admit he’s attracted to men, but that doesn’t mean his life has to change.

Fate has other Jesse’s been traded to the Boston Harriers, the team Connor captains.

With an intimidating family legacy to live up to, pressure from ownership to bring home another Cup, and a strained relationship with his ex-wife to juggle, Connor reluctantly agrees to let Jesse stay at his place for the season—strictly to keep him in line.

Rules are set, boundaries are clear. But Jesse’s never met a rule he couldn’t break.

Between winning over Connor’s kids, rallying the team, and sneaking past Connor’s defenses, Jesse is determined to prove he’s more than just trouble.

But can he show Connor there’s more to life than playing it safe?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It’s been rough for a while for Connor since his divorce, coparenting, and captaining his NHL hockey team. So the night of his brother’s wedding, Connor takes a chance to do something for himself. He has suspected he was bi for a long time but being married meant he never really had to acknowledge it. But now he’s been single for a while and when he gets a chance to hook up with Toronto’s goaltender, Jesse…well, what could go wrong? Apparently a lot. A night that was crazy intense for the two of them turns sour when they realize Jesse has been traded to Boston. Now they’ll be on the same team. And to make matters worse for Connor is when upper management asks him to host Jesse and keep him out of trouble. Things just got complicated. Jesse doesn’t mean to cause so much chaos. A lot of the time it’s out of his hands but he knows he has to be careful now that he is in Boston. But how can he do that when he can’t stop thinking about Connor and now has to live with him? As the two of them navigate their new normal, they find that keeping their attraction to themselves is nearly impossible. And the more they actually get to know one another, the more they like each other. But can it work when there is so much going on around them? I really loved Jesse and Connor’s story! These two were opposites in a lot of ways but also balanced one another out a lot. Coaxing sides of themselves that no one else sees, but they see with one another. It was really sweet. I’m super late getting into this world seeing as there are two other series about other teams that connect! So I know I’ll be backtracking. But I really loved starting off with Connor and Jesse. They were sweet and fun and I just loved the story all around! I definitely can’t wait for more.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
