Kendall Ryan scores a hat trick with book three in the Hot Jocks series, Trying to Score. This is hockey forward Teddy King’s and lawyer Sara Dawson’s story. Teddy and Sara made a sex tape together seven years ago when they were in college. Now Teddy is being blackmailed, and they need to do whatever it takes to try to prevent a scandal. This contemporary sport romance primarily takes place in Seattle. It is suitable for adult readers.

I was really looking forward to this story. Teddy and Sara were always bickering in the previous book. It was fun learning their history. The two have amazing chemistry. They are a cute couple that deserved a second chance. It was entertaining experiencing the progression of their relationship.

Kendall Ryan did a great job with this book. It is skillfully written and exciting throughout. I enjoyed the plot. The characters were in an interesting predicament, while balancing other issues with work and their personal lives. The story had a fun ending that felt well concluded. I recommend this book to people who enjoy second chance sports romances. I’m looking forward to Asher and Baily’s story next in Crossing the Line. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. ( )
