BLURB.
Boston Hawks owner Scott Reland is my father’s biggest rival and the last man who should catch my eye. But when he does, I don’t look away.
We’ve circled each other for years, two outliers in a small club of NHL owners. We know the rules, manage similar pressures, and understand that this lifestyle — hockey over everything — isn’t for everyone.
Which is why I want out.
To prove to my father that I have a future beyond the New York Sharks, I score one for me and open a bakery in Boston, the city that reveres Scott.
It isn’t long until the dynamic and perceptive Hawk pursues me. And I’m entirely unprepared to be swept off my feet, cared for and supported after so many years on my own. Scott easily draws me back into the hockey life I thought I didn’t want.
But can our relationship survive the demands of this industry? Or will I always be keeping score, second to the game that dictates everything?

MY REVIEW.
4.5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great quick read!
Sometimes these shorter reads that don't give you everything and the kitchen sink are the perfect fit and that is what The Score Keeper was for me. While it's the ninth book in the series and I'll admit to only reading two or three others, it read great as a standalone.
Not waiting with bated breath for this last book helped with the fact that I liked Scott and Noelle's story so much. I missed the build up from the previous books and really appreciated how they both took thier time getting to know each other a little better. Helps that Scott was in his mid-forties and knew how he wanted for the rest of his life to play out. It was great how they were both so driven, focused on thier businesses, yet realized they needed to make time for each other if they were going to have real time together.
The book is well written and other than Noelle's slight daddy issues, I really enjoyed it. Along with our main characters, we are briefed on former players from the other books and they hang around to help this new couple get off of the ground. Again, The Score Keeper reads nice as a stand alone with a little epilogue to peek into the future.
