Trying to Score (Hot Jocks Book 3)

I love hockey romances, and when Kendall Ryan announced the Hot Jocks series, I was so excited. I loved the first book, Playing for Keeps, a hybrid romance blending the friends-to-lovers and best friend’s little sister tropes. All the Way, the second standalone in this series, absolutely stole my heart. While not the lighthearted sports romance readers may have been expecting, it was a beautiful, moving love story, and Kendall broke my heart with that emotional story before she painstakingly pieced it back together. I’ve been a big fan of Kendall Ryan’s writing for years. Sassy, sexy, easy-reading contemporaries and romantic comedies are among my favorite things to read, and Kendall’s always find their way to the top of my list.Kendall has been killing it with the Hot Jocks series—each book has been better than the last. Trying to Score is a blend of several tropes, and Ryan swirled the frenemies-to-lovers, fake relationship and second-chance romance tropes together masterfully. Pairing pro hockey player, Teddy King, and attorney, Sara Dawson, she matches two opposites in a surprisingly sweet, sexy romance. Teddy has had the whole playboy thing going on for most of the series, and Sara has been focused on her career and clawing her way to partner. What the unlikely duo hasn’t told anyone before is that they weren’t just study buddies in college, they had a casual, friends with benefits relationship that resulted in a sex tape. While they’ve kept their brief relationship a secret from their friends, they’re forced to work together to deal with the consequences of their actions, and the closeness they once shared comings roaring back to life.I couldn’t get enough of their witty back-and-forth banter and how easily their relationship shifted. Teddy had been kind of the goof-ball of their group, but there was so much more to him and it really took me by surprise. Their chemistry has never been an issue, but it really explodes here in the best possible way. Teddy has always wanted more with Sara, and now that he has this chance, he’s not squandering it. I loved how comfortable and effortless their relationship was, but Teddy was so sweet and swoon-worthy, I couldn’t help but root for them the whole way.Trying to Score was a fantastic addition to Kendall Ryan’s hockey-themed sports romance series. Full of sizzling chemistry, Teddy and Sara’s sweet friends-to-lovers romance was addictive, and I devoured it in a day. Trying to Score by Kendall Ryan gets 5 smooches from me!

Teddy has all the right moves and knows just what to say. He is totally sweet and perfect boyfriend material. Their banter is both witty and fun. Sara is a woman who knows what she wants and is confident enough to take it. Another super fun read and a great addition to the series.

Sarah Dawson and Teddy King have a history that none of their friends no about, but when a hot and steamy night between the student lawyer and the sexy hockey player was recorded back when they were in college resurfaces, Teddy finds himself needing to tell Sara that he never deleted the video and he needed her to be his lawyer and stop whomever is trying to blackmail him from releasing it on the internet! Started out with a great storyline and plenty of sexy playful banter, but I was disappointed that I never got the answer of who was trying to blackmail . And the end just felt rushed and unfinished.

Ok now im always honest with my reviews so here goes i liked the book i liked the characters and it was hot not to full on sex leave ya panting but still hot now i read it i got into it then it ended and i was like ok wheres the rest i feel like we could have got more out of the characters theres someone blackmailing them i wanted more angst threatening making them look for the the black mailer i want the female lead to visit his grandpa i just needed more it felt to straight forward if that makes sense lackluster comes to mind i just feel like its a meh! Book not an oh my god need the next book in the series sorry but didnt do it for me

Teddy and Sara knew each other in college and had a hot fling for a short while. Sara is now a lawyer and Teddy is a football player worth millions. In their younger days they had made a sex tape and he had promised her it had been deleted. Fast forward and someone hacked his cloud and is blackmailing him. He gets Sara involved and the PR department at his club. They suggest becoming a couple in case the video is released. It is but within a week the press are somewhere else and Teddy and Sara have become close again.

This evening lawyer Sara Dawson is bidding for ice hockey professional Teddy King at a charity event. But years before, when they were students they use to be lovers and study partners.Sara's bid is successful, yet their happy reunion is marred because asex video tape that they took then, is certain to be aired online by an anonymous hacker. How will they cope with this tragic situation? Will the scandal cause Sara to lose her job? How will Teddy's club owner and fans react. Read and find out.

Trying to Score is the third book in Kendall Ryan's Hot Jocks series, but honestly, they can be read in any order or as complete stand-1alones, as each story features a separate couple connected to the same Ice Hockey team. And this one is fast-paced, light on drama, fun and full of sexy moments, and I was easily hooked throughout.Would recommend.

Another fun, sexy story in this series. I do enjoy a good sporty romance. Both characters are fun, we’ve met these in previous stories so it’s nice that they’ve got together even though there is a story behind it and they have a secret past anyway.
