This book was absolutely wonderful Going in I was not in love with where the characters are in their life but lemme tell you, by the time I hit 48% I m rooting so hard for Zoey and Jude.

Jude, at the start of this book is the older brother to 3 sisters. He is a Hockey star but really feels he cannot do a committed relationship as he cheated on his last girl friend. She got him back by dating and falling in love with his best friend and teammate. Since then he has had lots of one night stands and now they know where he lives and they keep coming back for more.

Zoey, is in midst of a nasty divorce. Her older, rich husband dumped her when she was told she had an angry uterus.

One day Zoey runs into Daisy who is Jude's sister and they were old friends, as was Jude and Zoey. At 17 Zoey was very sexual and Jude a virgin and she left town before he could lose his virginity to her. So when Daisy and Jude see Zoey again well he cannot resist finally having sex with her.

The thing is even while Zoey is married she wants to be single before they have sex and so they spend alot of time together and I loved that. The best part of the story is where they are flirty friends. And when they finally get together, the books pages will burn your kindle. This story is super HOT but it is also sweet, romantic and wonderful.

I fell hard for Jude and I loved Zoey as well. These rekindle their old romance and it was so wonderful. I loved how into Zoey, Jude gets and how he really is there for her day in and out. I cannot wait for the next story.

➳Second chances at finding the one and only are beyond rare to find, but Victoria Denault introduces not only the impossible but also the rare opportunity to falling in love with her characters such as Jude and Zoey…

➳Knowing each other from the early years of childhood, Jude and Zoey have once again rekindled in this new epic love story. Not only is the ability of finding love for the second time, and somewhat never loosing it is a message sent by Victoria, but she has also brought her comfort topic of hockey to the mix. Jude is a pro-hockey player that is well known for not only his play time in the ice rink, but also his <i>play time</i> outside of it with the ladies. He is watched from the paparazzi, to the annoying and loving pests of his sisters. It had gotten to a point that he had to use one of his sister’s to prevent from women to come to his house and stalk him down.

➳Zoey, trying to find her path after also trying to finalize her divorce papers, finds herself in a pickle that not only stimulates more the idea of getting divorce more appealing to her, but she also finds that Jude has never forgotten about her. With a second chance at love, she first sees it as a rebound way to move forward with her life. However, Jude has other ideas after finding his rekindle with Zoey. At first, he wants to just explore her body and see how well they connect physically, but he has seemed to find a way to feel her not only physically, but also emotionally. Time in the hockey rink is soon forgotten, as his thoughts only revolve around the hazel haired beauty of Zoey.

➳Obstacles are brought upon them both, making it harder to interact. Somehow though, they find ways to connect and be together. Zoey and Jude bring a whole new meaning to a seance chance love story, and Victoria has brought a new illumination to my eyes towards her writing. I hope that she can step outside her comfort zone of writing something beyond the point of hockey. Overall, I enjoyed this story much more than what I was expecting. I highly recommend this read for any who are looking for a sports romance as this novel, will take you away to a totally different world filled with angst, second chances, but most of all the idea of never forgetting those who have been there for you since the start.

Denault hockey romance, where the hero and heroine are both rough around the edges - sign me up.

Hot damn, so much tension, intrigue, passion, and missed connections. I loved when two long lost loves, okay more like teenage lust, finally fall for each other. Haha, what keeps them from hooking up with each other is hilarious, both times. One hell of a hockey romance.

Who knew the king of dick pics would come to rue the day his private parts headlined in social media? Jude enjoyed his lifestyle and high attention diet of hot and cold running puck bunnies. What happens, though, when a woman from his past--the one who got away--returns in a big way? Is he man enough to change his lifestyle for her? Find out in this furiously hot romance with all the trimmings.

Getting divorced was hard enough for Zoey, but the humiliation she feels when her credit card's declined in front of her old crush. Yikes! Her soon to be ex is a total a$$ but that didn't make it any easier explaining to Jude. What had happened to the husband who'd put her up at the Four Seasons and told her to stay as long as necessary while they worked out their amicable divorce.

Jude was tired of getting crap publicity because of some bad behavior in his past. Having his sister working PR for the team doesn't help--he's getting it at the office and at home. He's also still bothered by his friend and teammate Levi's behavior. It's guy code that you don't date your friend's ex girlfriend. If you decide to do it, however, don't be a douche and do it behind his back.

It also doesn't help that he cheated on his ex and that's why they broke up.

So when he sees Zoey and realizes she's available, he's leery about her hearing about his less than honourable behaviour. He really wants to pick up where they left off, literally!

Can Zoey get past the fact that her husband pawned her off because she couldn't get pregnant fast enough for him? That he'd more than likely cheated on her? A fast and sexy fling with Jude would do wonders for her flagging self esteem, but falling in love with him would make her a fool after all he'd done.

I loved this book--obviously. If you like romances with heat and swagger, grab hold of this. It's great!

I loved Victoria Denault's Hometown Player's series, so I was ecstatic to learn she was writing a new series!! The San Francisco Thunder series also centers around professional hockey (which I adore), so I had a gut feeling Ms. Denault would once again knock it out of the park--spoiler alert: she totally did!!!

Jude Braddock seems to have it all- he's a professional hockey player, has an awesome family, amazing looks and he's single (and loving it)! Until he starts to feel maybe he wants to find "the one" instead of a new girl every night!!

Zoey has most definitely not had luck on her side lately. Between starting as low man Realtor at a new company and getting divorced from her spiteful ex, her spirits haven't been the highest. Then randomly she runs into an old friend Dixie who just so happens to be the younger sister of Jude Braddock. The same Jude Braddock who Zoey had a crush on when they were teens!! Dixie invites Zoey to brunch and thinking that's just the perfect pick-me-up, Zoey readily accepts!! From that point on, I was glued to my kindle to read what Victoria Denault had planned for these two!!

I loved this second chance romance!! Jude and Zoey had fabulous chemistry right off the bat, which is the reason I was hooked!! I also loved the supporting characters and I'm keeping my fingers crossed we get their stories in future installments!! Score is a 4.5 star book that every sports romance fan needs to read, scratch that, everyone romance fan needs to read this gem--you won't regret it!! As with all of Victoria Denault's novels, as soon as I finish one, I am already looking forward to the next!!!

excellent read.

I enjoyed book, I am a follower of Ms. Denault, and I absolutely love hockey, but am not a puck bunny! The only thing that I do not like, is the manwhore thing, why, why, must we almost always have this, but anyway, you do end up liking Jude. The relationship developed between Zoey and Jude was nice, I always love to read about past crushes, who eventually get a chance because they belong together. Jude realized something was missing from him life, and Zoey was it. I loved his sisters they were hilarious, especially Dixie, can't wait to read her story next.

I liked this book.. it was funny and hot in the appropriate moments and sad in the right ones too! I loved Jude's tenacity around zoey and how zoey was overall during the entire book!

Victoria Denault's new hockey series gets off to an amazing start with SCORE. Fans of her previous books will NOT be disappointed. Perfect blend of hockey, heartbreak, and romance. Definitely recommend!

Great story - makes me want to read more in this series.

Thanks for the chance to read this
