The problem is, Sabrina’s heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. On the ice, he’s fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer.
Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star.
One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.īut the game just got a whole lot more complicated. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. I remember it being mentioned in other books that he was from the south, but the whole "darlin'" thing really got to me.Librarian's note: An alternate cover edition can be found hereĬollege senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. So, big respect to Elle Kennedy for not glamorizing motherhood, like a lot of these books do. I was in high school when I had my twins, and I tried to continue part time, but as the girls got older I just couldn't do it. I have three children, and was a student when my youngest was born (and somewhat when my twins were babies), and it's almost impossible to study, do assignments, and care for a human being. Add being a student in a competitive program, and trying to get a business built, it's brutal. Loving your child with all your heart - but it's not all bliss and sweet baby cuddles. One of the things I appreciated, was how realistic Elle Kennedy wrote about motherhood.
The chemistry between Tucker and Sabrina is great, and while the banter is no where near as awesome as the other books, it's clear they respect one another a lot. It's not an original concept, but it didn't make it less likeable for me. But I loved the other books, so I felt like if anyone can get me to like these characters, its Elle Kennedy. And every interaction with Sabrina in The Score places her in bitch category. Tucker in the other books is quiet and laid back, so I didn't feel as connected to this character as I did the others. I was a little worried going into this book.
