Scoring Chances Book 2: Body Check by Brigham Vaughn

 

Scoring Chances Book 2

The last thing Gavin Racine needs is more heartbreak …

Following an ugly public divorce, all Gavin wants is a little stress relief in the bedroom and to put together a winning roster. Unfortunately, his busy and chaotic schedule as the Boston Harrier’s general manager and president of hockey operations means he cancels more hookups than not.

When Gavin reluctantly hires Dakota Crane as the team’s yoga and Pilates instructor, their first few meetings leave them annoyed … and intrigued.

With a struggling team to manage, a complicated relationship with his twin brother, and a secret from his past threatening to upend the success he’s fought so hard for, Gavin absolutely shouldn’t start something with his employee.

Personalities clash, sparks fly, and the chemistry is undeniable. But neither of them are looking for love.

Dakota’s been burned before and the last thing he wants is another messy relationship. Especially with his new boss.

Falling in love is nowhere on his agenda and nothing is worth putting his fresh start in Boston at risk.

But what if learning to work together is exactly what Gavin, Dakota, and the team needs?

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Gavin and Dakota are no strangers to heartbreak. For Gavin, he had a messy divorce and looked back to realize that his ex really didn’t love him the way Gavin thought he did. And after all that, plus his job just getting busier and busier, a relationship is the last thing he really needs. He needs someone who understands his demanding scheduling and is okay with it. For Dakota, a relationship is not on his mind at all. His ex did a number on him in many ways and the biggest at the moment was leaving Dakota with a mess of debt while he disappeared. No way is he ready to trust anyone with his heart again. Dakota and Gavin getting together for even just a physical relationship is the last thing you would expect from these two after their disaster of a first meeting. But little by little, they warm up to one another and start to get to know each other. And the attraction between them is certainly there, but to let it happen knowing they are coworkers? Well, it’s a risk they realize eventually they want to take. This starts the beginning of what ends up being a really wonderful relationship. The two have a long way to go when it comes to trust and their hearts, and it takes them a bit to realize they want more, but in the end so worth it! These two weren’t what I expected when I opened this book. I thought I had a pretty good idea of who they were when we first met them in the previous book, but I was wrong! And that was okay! I loved getting to know these characters and seeing their struggles. It made them so much more real. And though they clash a lot, they also balance one another at the same time. Lots of twists and turns in their story, but they get their well deserved happy ending! Can’t wait to see who’s story is next in this series!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
