Nadine's Obsessed with Books: Scoring Off the Ice (Ice Kings #2) by Stacey Lynn ~ Book Review with Excerpt

There is no playbook for situations like this.

Scoring Off the Ice, an all-new steamy, surprise single dad romance with all the feels by Stacey Lynn, is available now!

Sometimes scoring off the ice leads to the greatest rewards.

I’ve had only one goal in life since I first strapped on a pair of skates—make America’s pro hockey league.

I left Denmark. I made it to the top. Now, I’m determined to be the best. No distractions. I eat, sleep, and breathe hockey.

Until my birthday when my teammates convince me to live a little.
But living a little takes on a whole new meaning when less than a year later I’m confronted with a crying baby on my doorstep, drooling on a note that declares he’s mine.

Suddenly, I'm a single dad in way over my head.
There is no playbook for situations like this.

Luckily, I have Paisley.
My gorgeous neighbor, my long-time crush, and now—my savior.
She’s there any time I need her.
Helping. Guiding. Gazing at me with those green eyes that make me feel capable of this after all.

With her at my side, I’m quickly learning there’s more to life than winning a hockey game.

Excerpt:

“Who are you?” I don’t like calling her the woman. I’ve wondered her name for months since she started appearing in that doorway so close to mine.

She turns to me and in her arms is the baby. She’s holding a bottle and the baby is drinking. Quiet little sounds come from it and she grins down at the baby in her arms before tilting her head at me.

“What?”

“You. What is your name?”

“Paisley. Are you Mikah?”

She must want money if she knows my name. Perhaps she’s a fan. A puck bunny—that’s what my teammates call the girls who follow players and only want one thing from them.

“How did you know?” I wish she wasn’t so pretty. Sometimes it hurts to talk when all I want to do is look at her.

She points to an envelope on the table. The note.

“It’s on the outside. I didn’t know if it was your name or the baby’s, so I took a guess. Are you... are you okay?”

“A stranger shows up at my door with a baby in her arms, saying it’s mine. How okay am I supposed to be?” I wander to the table while I ask.

I’m surprised by her gentle laugh.

“I suppose this isn’t your typical Friday night.”

She is funny. If I didn’t think I might throw up, I might laugh. No. This is not my typical Friday night. Mine are for resting. Not life-changing drama.

I say nothing and grab the envelope. I stare at it for a moment. Perhaps if I do not open it, I can pretend this didn’t happen. My fingers shake as I tear it open.

The envelope is larger than normal and thick and I’m careful as I pull out several folded papers.

The top one is the most important though as I instantly see my name, written in scrolling black ink.

MIKAH,

His name is Angelo.

This was a fun read that brought two neighbors together that were attracted to one another but never acted on it until one night, one night when Paisley hears a cry out in the hallway and goes to see what it's all about and discovers a baby left in front of hot neighbors door.

Mikah and Paisley have great chemistry and work well together on figuring out what to do with the new bundle that has been dropped into their lives. Yes I know Mikah is the father and Paisley isn't the mom BUT she steps in and helps because he is so lost on what to do and she is a natural. I really enjoyed how they worked together and how their relationship grew naturally it wasn't forced or pushed, they had an attraction before they even had spoken to one another and it progressed nicely.

I always enjoy Stacey Lynn's books especially the more emotional ones, while this one was tugging at my heart at times it didn't come close to the way her FIRESIDE series gutted me. I would say this is a cross between her FIRESIDE series and her CRAZY LOVE series. So if you are looking for a Contemporary Sports Romances with some feels this is the one for you.

Happy Reading!!!
