ScoringOfftheIce-IceKings-Amazon

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.

Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own. 

I was so delighted with this book! This is a fun romance with so many feels.

I loved Paisley and Mikah so much. They are both such realistic and compelling characters. I just couldn't get enough of them. I loved how well I connected to their characters. Both Paisley and Mikah have such great character growth in the story. I also really loved the cast of side characters and I can't wait to read more about them in other books. 

I adored the romance in this story. Paisley and Mikah are an amazing couple and their chemistry was undeniable. There was an obvious attraction between the two of them but I loved how their relationship grew from spending time together as they cared for Angelo. The tender moments when they were with Angelo warmed my heart. While not quite instalove, the romance begins after a short amount of time. The way that Paisley and Mikah get to know each other by spending time together really offsets the fact that they hadn't known each other for long before jumping into a relationship. 

I was very impressed with the author's writing style. I meshed with it immediately. The narration is smooth and told beautifully. 

I enjoyed the plot of the story and how everything unfolded. The premise for the story really caught my attention from the start. I was glued to the pages of this story. 

Overall, this is a light-hearted story that is full of emotion. This story put a smile on my face from the first page. It has the perfect amount of drama, heat, and heartfelt moments to really pack a punch. I can't wait for the next book in this series!

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.
