Cat's Review of Scoring Chances (The Comebacks) by A.J. Truman and M.A. Wardell @ajtruman_author @mawardellauthor @neonrainbowarcreviews @tammystwocents X- @TTCBooksandmore

Totally fake marriage. Very real feelings. 

When my hockey teammate, the recently widowed Tanner Chance, loses his job, he and his four kids are left with no medical coverage.

So I suggest a wild idea: get married and put his family on my company’s insurance plan.

It’s supposed to be a marriage on paper only. But this being a small town, our nuptials accidentally go public. Now, we have to play house in order to make this scheme believable.

Suddenly, I’m trading my swanky highrise for a cramped split-level and refereeing sibling squabbles while attempting to make a meatloaf.

Goodbye bottomless mimosas. Hello bottomless piles of laundry.

I’m also sharing a bed with my closest friend, the one guy I promised myself I’d never cross a line with…and using all my willpower to keep that promise.

The more time I spend married to Tanner, the harder it is to remember what’s fake. Because every time he smiles at me, every time he calls me his husband, it feels a little too real.

If our ruse is exposed, I could lose not just my career, but the man and family I never knew I wanted.

Scoring Chance is a single dad, friends-to-lovers, marriage of convenience MM romance. It’s book 2 in The Comebacks series, about a team of former hockey champions recapturing their magic (and finding love) in a local amateur league—but it can be read as a standalone. Whether they win or lose, there’s always a post-game beer.

Cat gives this book 5 meows with a 3 purr Index...

For those that like lots of spicy scenes and explicit you may call these 2 flames....I think I'll go with 3 as there are at least 2 fairly explicit scenes... it opens a bit raunchy but oddly with only 1 of the MC... 

now I'll explain just a little...Des is a wealthy playboy and bisexual... he's fairly arrogant and rocky but has a big heart and soft spot for his best friend from middle school and high-school hockey partner Tanner. 

Tanner is a widower with 4 kids...demisexual and monogamous.  He doesn't have time to play around. 

So, when he gets laid off, loses insurance and Des proposes so he can put them on his insurance; that's what best friends do, right? Help each other, what could go wrong? I suggest you grab this and see for yourself because it's more a twister than a twizzler, sweeter than cotton candy and plain Ole swoon worthy.

This is book 2 of the Comebacks but can be read as a standalone though the first book was good too...this one even better so if this is the pattern oh my I can't wait to see what's next. 

I loved all the character's, the kids, the development of the romance, the realism but also escapism... I guess I loved it all so much I read in one setting.

If you like fake marriage of convenience, slow burn, cute kids, lots of humor and the usual 

Hockey Romance (armature league) single dad, small town, best friends to lovers, you're going to love this.
