Emery Davidson swore off dating athletes years ago after a hockey player broke her heart, but it's tough to avoid athletes completely when her brother Reed is a professional hockey player. As far as Emery is concerned, Reed's best friend and teammate, Graham Adams, is the worst of them all. He's a total player with a different puck bunny on speed dial for every day of the week and the last man on Earth she'd ever consider dating. Secretly, however, Graham has been nursing a crush on Emery since the day they met, and when a night of celebration offers him the chance for some enemies with benefits action, he's quick to seize the opportunity to show Emery exactly how good they could be together. When that night has unexpected consequences, Emery and Graham are forced to figure out their future as co-parents - and maybe more.

disclosure: I am not a fan of duets. I generally avoid them at all costs because I think cliffhangers are pretty much the worst thing ever. That said, I absolutely adore Maren Moore's hockey hotties, so I knew I had to give this duet a
chance. So far, I'm really glad I did! Obviously, I have no idea what's still to come for Graham and Emery in book 2, but I loved the way their relationship developed in book 1, and I'm glad the author didn't try to rush things by squeezing everything into a single book. The relationship so far has developed at exactly the perfect pace for them, and I've loved all of the delicious steam and flirty, teasing banter along the way.
I highly recommend "The Scorecard" for all fans of contemporary/sports romance and romantic comedy and can't wait to get my hands on part 2 of the duet next month!

About "The Scorecard"
Pretending to be married to my brother’s best friend and my biggest enemy is the last thing I imagined I’d be doing.
But there was a thin line between lust and hate, and when I fell into bed with the NHL’s rookie playboy, I found out just how easy that line got blurred.
We were enemies with benefits, but then two pink lines changed it all.
Now he was bringing me back home to his family’s farm and faking it became real… in more ways than one.
He was meant to be the enemy but falling for him meant letting him win.
The Scorecard
Graham: 1
Me: 0
**The Scorecard is book 1 of a duet and is approximately 60,000 words. This book does end on a cliffhanger.**
