Publisher Description
Being stranded in remote Canada with a hottie?
Wasn’t part of my summer plans.
Dump my cheating ex? Check.
Land an amazing job with Boston’s professional hockey franchise? Check.
Fall stupidly in love with hockey’s favorite bad boy? Ugh.
After wasting years of my life with the wrong person, I told myself all I wanted was a little no-strings fun. Enter Alex Braun—a wealthy, handsome, notorious playboy who’s equal parts charming and dangerous as hell to my wounded heart.
After enduring a very public breakup of his own, the sexy player doesn’t want to be anyone’s forever. Too bad he barreled his way into my heart, instead of just my bed.
But this professional athlete knows a thing or two about competing, and he won’t let go so easily.
Warning: This romance contains one grumpy, emotionally damaged, but gorgeous-as-hell hockey player, and a whip-smart, hardworking heroine who has never quite fit in. It should only be read by those who like their men brawny and their romances red-hot!

Redeemed
An enjoyable slow burn romance with a bad boy turned love interest keeping things hot
I did wonder how on earth Alex was to be redeemed after his performance in the last book, but the book can’t be judged by the cover with him apparently…and Eden embellishes!!
Turns out he is thoughtful, romantic and very self aware.
Aspen comes into this off the back of a bad breakup and just wants space, offered a chance to take a break at a players cabin she decides that it fits the requirements nicely.
Alex, who unexpectedly helped her get the opportunity also ends up staying and this is where the slow burn comes in.
A fun read with engaging characters, a stimulating storyline and leaving you with a feeling of wanting more in the series
I did think the unwinding of Eden and Alex’s relationship could have done with some more coverage, as well as Aspens breakup but otherwise I thought this a very satisfying read.

Absolutely Amazing Book
This is book two in The Looking To Score Series and it is Alex and Aspen's story and omg this book is a must read. After reading book one in this series I couldn't wait to read book two and omg I definitely wasn't as as this book took you in right from the first page and I couldn't put it down as it was a real page turner and so addictive. I absolutely loved Alex and Aspen and how they eventually got there happy ending which they definitely deserved after everything that they had both been through and my heart broke for Alex and everything that he has endured from the people that should have been there for him. I definitely recommend you read this book and series and you will definitely not be disappointed as Kendall Ryan is an amazing author and writer and she certainly knows how to keep her reader's attention and on the edge of there seats.
