Body Check, Scoring Chances book 2, is an opposites attract heartfelt romance. When your past doesn't define you but makes you stronger.
From the blurb:
Following an ugly public divorce, all Gavin wants is a little stress relief in the bedroom and to put together a winning roster. Unfortunately, his busy and chaotic schedule as the Boston Harrier’s general manager and president of hockey operations means he cancels more hookups than not.
When Gavin reluctantly hires Dakota Crane as the team’s yoga and Pilates instructor, their first few meetings leave them annoyed … and intrigued.
With a struggling team to manage, a complicated relationship with his twin brother, and a secret from his past threatening to upend the success he’s fought so hard for, Gavin absolutely shouldn’t start something with his employee.
Personalities clash, sparks fly, and the chemistry is undeniable. But neither of them are looking for love.
Dakota’s been burned before and the last thing he wants is another messy relationship. Especially with his new boss.
Falling in love is nowhere on his agenda and nothing is worth putting his fresh start in Boston at risk.
But what if learning to work together is exactly what Gavin, Dakota, and the team needs?
TRIGGER/CONTENT WARNING:
Body Check contains scenes with main and supporting characters dealing with financial struggles, a potentially threatening heart condition, discussions about past recreational drug use, prison, manipulative exes, and initially unsupportive parents to a trans person (offpage).
Lesetiger's review:
This is the second part of the Scoring Chances series, which can be read independently of the first volume.
It's about the relationship between a boss and his employee, in this case Gavin, the general manager of the ice hockey team, and Dakota, the team's new yoga and Pilates trainer.
Both have a past. When they meet, the attraction is immediate, and they are hot together. However, their experiences and fears from the past lead to a rather slow development of a deeper relationship. I liked both of them very much and found both Dakota and Gavin likable. It was nice to see how they support each other and communicate a lot in order to work through the past to some extent. There are also likeable and very supportive supporting characters. The story was entertaining and well written, even if the book drags on a bit in places.
The audiobook was narrated by James Edward Jones, and he did a good job. He performed in a calm manner and brought the story to life.
