Summary
She was always meant to be mine。
My status as one of the league’s superstars means I can have any woman I want。 Puck bunnies line up at the chance to score with a hockey player。
There’s just one problem 。 。 。 the only woman I want is off-limits。
No woman can compare to Natalie Remington—at least not the perfect version of her I’ve created in my mind。
Until I laid eyes on her， I didn’t believe in love at first sight。 One smile from her and I was a goner。
Too bad for me， she’s already taken—married to a prince。
I tried to forget about her。
Until 。 。 。 one day， she showed up on my doorstep， and everything changed。
Now， my dream girl is within reach， and I’m getting a taste of what life at her side might look like。 It’s better than I ever imagined。
The shadow cast by her toxic ex-husband is hard to shake， but I’m determined to show Natalie how she deserves to be loved。
I’ve racked up a lot of accomplishments over the course of my career， but one goal trumps them all: scoring the princess。

This gave off Sweet Temptation’s vibes， but， of course， with a lot lighter details and events。If Giulia in Sweet Temptation managed to heal everyone with her kindness， patience and grace， then， I’d say， Jaxon is definitely her male version here。Love his bond with the kids， they were so freaking cute and he was such a golden retriever， I really love it。Also， can we just take a moment to appreciate Amy， the FMC’s best friend？ She was so rational， straightforward but at the same time very sweet and This gave off Sweet Temptation’s vibes， but， of course， with a lot lighter details and events。If Giulia in Sweet Temptation managed to heal everyone with her kindness， patience and grace， then， I’d say， Jaxon is definitely her male version here。Love his bond with the kids， they were so freaking cute and he was such a golden retriever， I really love it。Also， can we just take a moment to appreciate Amy， the FMC’s best friend？ She was so rational， straightforward but at the same time very sweet and supportive。 Seriously， not everyone can do what she did for Natalie and her family， even siblings or family members， it’s really rare and I’m damn jealous， Natalie you lucky b。However， while this was cute and all， I think the interactions between our 2 mains， at least the on page ones， weren’t enough。 I mean I’m so glad that we got to see the whole pregnancy and life with the baby in the storyline， not just the epilogue。 And I get it that was why the author only put the highlight events in。 But it kinda backfired since there were too little interactions for these too many time jumps， their chemistry thus seemed a bit lacking and， to me， wasn’t enough for them to drop the L bomb。Moreover， idk， I didn’t really like the conflict。 I get it， I understand why they did what they did， but I think the conflict would have been better if it was executed differently and， with everything that had happened so far to that point of the story， the mains could have handled it so much better， just saying…Also， the ending was a bit rush for my liking。 Would love to see them settle down before jumping into the epilogue right after solving the problem like that。Still， overall， this was very cute and wholesome， I enjoyed it a lot and had a great time！ 。。。more

OMG！ This was a rollercoaster that my heart wasn't ready for。Natalie is such a strong FMC with the troubled past and the fears of moving forward and in walks Jaxon。。。 swoon。。。 could this man honestly be anymore of a prince with the biggest heart of gold to come in and save his princess。 Bring in the hockey aspect of the Comets and this book will draw you in from the first page and keep you on the line till the very last page。Honestly cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of this series！ OMG！ This was a rollercoaster that my heart wasn't ready for。Natalie is such a strong FMC with the troubled past and the fears of moving forward and in walks Jaxon。。。 swoon。。。 could this man honestly be anymore of a prince with the biggest heart of gold to come in and save his princess。 Bring in the hockey aspect of the Comets and this book will draw you in from the first page and keep you on the line till the very last page。Honestly cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of this series！ 。。。more

BORING。 How can a blurb sound so amazing with obsessed since childhood guy single mom unplanned pregnancy be this incredibly boring。 I mean at 40 % I was bored out of my mind。 Natalie is so boring like no personality other then apparently she is a mom。 For having a toddler he is barely mentioned。 Toddlers take up much of a moms time so it is ridiculous he is hardly mentioned。 Like they would finally mention him by name and I was like who is that oh ya that’s her toddler。 For him being obsessed h BORING。 How can a blurb sound so amazing with obsessed since childhood guy single mom unplanned pregnancy be this incredibly boring。 I mean at 40 % I was bored out of my mind。 Natalie is so boring like no personality other then apparently she is a mom。 For having a toddler he is barely mentioned。 Toddlers take up much of a moms time so it is ridiculous he is hardly mentioned。 Like they would finally mention him by name and I was like who is that oh ya that’s her toddler。 For him being obsessed he never makes any moves like never she comes to him first time but after that he never goes to her until she。 Says she is pregnant and then jump jump jump finally makes a move at that point I was too bored to care。 。。。more

As a New England hockey mom， I was really excited to read this book。 The thought of the author in the stands with the other moms collaborating over this plot is charming and relatable， as is this story。 Pros:All I expected was “hockey romance” - I expected predictability， but this （happily） surprised me， especially the first few chapters。 The romance is well written - doesn’t feel too cliche。 I also really enjoyed the dual-pov。I really liked the exploration of how her ex husband’s treatment affe As a New England hockey mom， I was really excited to read this book。 The thought of the author in the stands with the other moms collaborating over this plot is charming and relatable， as is this story。 Pros:All I expected was “hockey romance” - I expected predictability， but this （happily） surprised me， especially the first few chapters。 The romance is well written - doesn’t feel too cliche。 I also really enjoyed the dual-pov。I really liked the exploration of how her ex husband’s treatment affected her。 I will keep this vague to avoid spoilers， but I find his behavior in the second half to be unrealistic for his personality type - which teeters closely towards plot-hole for me。 （But I’ll happily ignore it！）Cons:•I think some of these characters need active counseling。 I find it concerning that the friends didn’t encourage this。 •I would have liked to see the female apologize。•Overuse of the word “baby” （my personal cringe）。 It was mentioned 154 times in this book， only half of the time referring to an actual baby。 Overall， I enjoyed this read - I have shared it with friends and I’ll be looking forward to book 2 & 3 and the eventual Comets Hockey books too！ 。。。more

Scoring the Princess had a lovely blend of royalty and ice hockey。 The main characters were easy to like and I loved how their story grew。 I’ve got to admit I’m not a big fan of 3rd act break ups and while I understand why Jaxon did what he did when showing Natalie his devotion to her and the family I did struggle to believe that he would really sign those papers when he loved his family。 Still the story is great and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book

Do you think we could put in a request for mass distribution of Jaxons？ Because he is the ultimate book boyfriend。 Hockey athlete， protects what’s his （including her children）， AND he knows how to play the long game。 So， maybe he and Natalie didn’t take a normal approach to their relationship。 But it worked。 This was a 4。5/5 rating for me with just enough well-written and well-placed spice。 I’m already looking forward to the next installment in The Remington Royals

ARC REVIEW⭐️4。5🌶️-3 Although I’m not usually a fan of the surprise pregnancy trope - I quite often find it a bit cringe - it was done exceptionally well in this book。 It was really hard not to fall in love with Jaxon as a character。 The way he immediately supports Natalie and the love he shows not just her but her children too is a major selling point for me。 The way he helps build herself back up after her utterly atrocious ex husband is just *chefs kiss*。 This book had all the right things for ARC REVIEW⭐️4。5🌶️-3 Although I’m not usually a fan of the surprise pregnancy trope - I quite often find it a bit cringe - it was done exceptionally well in this book。 It was really hard not to fall in love with Jaxon as a character。 The way he immediately supports Natalie and the love he shows not just her but her children too is a major selling point for me。 The way he helps build herself back up after her utterly atrocious ex husband is just *chefs kiss*。 This book had all the right things for me - a healthy amount of spice， good characters （including brilliant side characters！） with great development and a fantastic dynamic between the MC’s。 I’m really excited for the rest of the series！ 💕 。。。more

I was really excited to start this series and it did not disappoint。 I loved that you jumped straight into the story and it gave you everything you need immediately。 The progression of Natalie and Jaxon’s relationship was very enjoyable to read， I loved seeing how Jaxon fell first and loved the kids unconditionally。 Jaxon is the man you want in your life and the best man for Natalie！ I could not put this book down and ended up bingeing it over 48hrs （would have been less if it wasn’t for that pe I was really excited to start this series and it did not disappoint。 I loved that you jumped straight into the story and it gave you everything you need immediately。 The progression of Natalie and Jaxon’s relationship was very enjoyable to read， I loved seeing how Jaxon fell first and loved the kids unconditionally。 Jaxon is the man you want in your life and the best man for Natalie！ I could not put this book down and ended up bingeing it over 48hrs （would have been less if it wasn’t for that pesky thing called work！）。 I am so looking forward to the next book in the series and seeing how the rest of the characters grow！ 。。。more
