Synopsis

From the author of the Hometown Players series comes a"sexy, sassy" (Library Journal) second chance romance between a playboy hockey star and the one woman who got away.

Jude Braddock. Hockey god. That's how everyone sees him now. But when they were teenagers, Zoey knew him as the kid who didn't have enough nerve to make a move on their one and only disastrous date. Seems he doesn't have that problem anymore, though. According to the rumors, he's with a different woman every night. After a rough divorce, the last thing Zoey needs is more heartbreak. But Jude's cocky, playful attitude is mighty hard to resist.

Jude knows he isn't built for long-term relationships. But he's getting sick of women pounding on his door in the middle of the night looking for a rematch. When Zoey comes back into his life, it's like fate has given him a second chance. He'll do anything to make her happy again. Is this what love looks like? He has no idea. All he knows for sure is that this time, he's playing for keeps.

Reviews

This is one of those books that grew on me over time. Score was my first book by Victoria Denault, and I was positive, at the start, that this was a spin-off from another series. Now that I'm finished, I'm not so sure, but the way the story starts off seems like there is a backstory there that reade......more

Goodreads review by Tucker on May 24, 2020

This was definitely an impulse read. I found an ARC of this at a local bookstore a long, long time ago. I must admit that I only got the ARC because of the cover. Anywho, I decided that this had sat on my shelf for long enough so I finally read this. Honestly, it was less scandalous than two-years-ag......more

Review added: Score was the first book in the San Francisco Thunder series by Victoria Denault and focused on the local NHL franchise. I'm a Denault fan through her Hometown Players series. Jude Braddock was the gorgeous, arrogant, and confident NHL hockey star. He was loyal to family, friends and his......more

Hockey, heart, love and sexy…. I love this author’s stories. L-O-V-E them. They usually have a lot to do with hockey which immediately catches my attention but the characters, they always capture my heart. Their capacity to make mistakes and recover. Their ability to be human – compassionate, loving,......more

5 Jude and Zoey Stars I really enjoyed this second chance romance featuring a hot hockey NHL player and a very sweet heroine who I adored from the first page. Jude and Zoey are both 28 but they have known each other since they were teenagers. She was the rebellious girl who babysat his little sisters......more

"Sexy, sassy, and a perfect new adult read for fans who love hockey and romance, not necessarily in that order. An excellent new sports series launch."
Library Journal

"This bad boy hockey player is the best. His love of his family and the way he treats Zoey make him a perfect book boyfriend. This book moves along very quickly, so be warned you will have that feeling of the end of book sadness when you reach the final page."—Once Upon an Alpha

"A furiously hot romance with all the trimmings...I loved this book-obviously. If you like romances with heat and swagger, grab hold of this. It's great!"—It's About the Book blog

"The right mix of swoon, sex, humor and heartache-never too light, never too angsty. Ahh, those feel good moments had my face and my heart smiling, while those rocky moments had my brow furrowing and my blood pumping. Which made this book so very easy to get lost in. And get lost, I did. In Zoey, whose sometimes wavering strength felt very human. In Jude-to quote Zoey, Oh, Mylanta-who is reformed playboy perfection; a good guy underneath a messy outer shell. ...I loved this book...Book 2 can't come soon enough."—Panda and Boodle Book Reviews

"I blew through this book in just over a day. Not because the story was an easy read, though it was. I could not put this book down! The story and characters were so engaging that I kept wanting to see what happened next."—Up All Night Book Blog
