Publisher Description
Nate
Delaying treatment for my bum knee until the off season isn’t the smartest move, but hey, I’m a big dumb jock. And pro hockey players play, come hell or broken bones.
That stupid knee sends me sprawling in front of the prettiest lady in Central Park. She’s also smart, and kind, and she bonds with my young daughter Quinn over strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Can’t hurt to ask her out for coffee, right?
Carly
There aren’t many options for a laid-off au pair in New York City. I can’t live on couch surfing, ranty blogging, and less ranty freelance articles forever, but I won’t work with kids again. It’s too painful when it ends.
But coffee with a single dad can’t hurt, right? Maybe a second date. Heck, why not make it one steamy night in his bed? But when Nate has to go under the knife, he asks me to help care for his daughter. I don’t want to be a nanny again, but I can’t turn him down. I’ll just have to keep my guard up to protect my heart.
Customer Reviews
All the feels
Kelly Jamieson has once again given us a captivating story that pulled at our heartstrings. This is Nate and Carly’s emotional and entertaining journey and all I’m going to say is this book has it all, I went through every emotion as I joined this couple on their journey.
Nate needs to have knee surgery durning the off season and that means he need help looking after his daughter Quinn who he has living with him durning the summer. After falling at Carly’s feet in the park he learns she is looking for a job and has been a nanny before, add in the fact she seems to have it hit off with Quinn means she would be perfect for the job. Problem is he finds his new nanny extremely attractive and she feels the same way so will this couple mix business and pleasure, will they cross the line and risk it all….one click to find out.
I loved everything about this book, I fell hard and fast for Nate and Carly, I adored Quinn who had some perfect one liners only a child could get away with but what took this book to another level was the vulnerability Nate and a teammate showed when they opened up to the issues they live with everyday. A wonderful addition to the Bears Hockey II Series and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next now the new owners have taken over. I smiled, I shed a tear but I was left smiling and that’s makes this read a win win for me,
A great read
It was good to be back in the Bear Hockey II universe. Scoring Big was well written with characters whose story hooked me from the first chapter. The fact that our hero Nate is a hockey player and single dad to his daughter Quinn was a win/win for me. I also really liked out of work nanny Carly and their meet cute was entertaining. I really liked both Nate and Carly but as a couple they were dynamic.
Sometimes fate works in mysterious ways and when their paths cross it seems that Carly has been put front and centre for a reason. The attraction sizzles between them but when Nate has to have the surgery he has put off, he asks Carly if she would look after Quinn and be her nanny.
How can Carly turn down a job she has been desperately looking for? What will happen when the chemistry that sizzles between them explodes and lines are crossed? I really liked both Nate and Carly but as a couple they were dynamic.
The relationship that Carly forges with Quinn was beautiful and it was amusing to read as Quinn almost stole the book away from our couple on a number of occasions.
