The Rival was an enjoyable read。 To be honest I was a little nervous at first because Alex was the main character。 I wasn't a huge fan of him in The Rebel because of everything that happened between him and Eden and how he acted。 Luckily he changes in The Rival。 He gets back to being his true self and is a good and sweet guy。 He’s a good guy for Aspen and treats her right。 Aspen is easy to like。 She's a nice， hard working girl who just went through a rough relationship as well。 Her and Alex have The Rival was an enjoyable read。 To be honest I was a little nervous at first because Alex was the main character。 I wasn't a huge fan of him in The Rebel because of everything that happened between him and Eden and how he acted。 Luckily he changes in The Rival。 He gets back to being his true self and is a good and sweet guy。 He’s a good guy for Aspen and treats her right。 Aspen is easy to like。 She's a nice， hard working girl who just went through a rough relationship as well。 Her and Alex have quite a bit in common and form a strong connection。 They're a cute and fitting couple。 Overall I enjoyed the book and seeing Alex and Aspen grow。 *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review。* 。。。more

After reading The Rebel a few weeks back， I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Alex's turn in the hot seat and whether or not he learned anything about himself and his behavior when it comes to relationships。 Of course I should have known that Kendall Ryan would find a way to make so that Alex is able to redeem himself and have me seeing him in a new， less jaded light lol。 I loved getting to peel back all of the layers that make up Alex and really getting to know him as a character， and s After reading The Rebel a few weeks back， I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Alex's turn in the hot seat and whether or not he learned anything about himself and his behavior when it comes to relationships。 Of course I should have known that Kendall Ryan would find a way to make so that Alex is able to redeem himself and have me seeing him in a new， less jaded light lol。 I loved getting to peel back all of the layers that make up Alex and really getting to know him as a character， and seeing there is more to him than a glib playboy with no real depth。 Another point that helps this story work is that there is already history between Alex and Aspen， despite the fact that Aspen is still healing from a failed relationship and not looking to start anything new， but there's no denying the chemistry between them。 。。。more

5 SMOOCHES！I went into The Rival by Kendall Ryan with pre-conceived notions about the hero。 I was unsure I could get on board with him， his story and his chance at love。 Silly me。 Now， I love a good second-chance romance， but it also turns out that I really like it when it’s under the guise of a bad boy’s redemption。 I also really love hockey romances， and The Rival was an engaging， heart-tugging， sexy and addictive take on this favorite trope of mine。 Ryan is no stranger to hockey romances—I ab 5 SMOOCHES！I went into The Rival by Kendall Ryan with pre-conceived notions about the hero。 I was unsure I could get on board with him， his story and his chance at love。 Silly me。 Now， I love a good second-chance romance， but it also turns out that I really like it when it’s under the guise of a bad boy’s redemption。 I also really love hockey romances， and The Rival was an engaging， heart-tugging， sexy and addictive take on this favorite trope of mine。 Ryan is no stranger to hockey romances—I absolutely loved her entire Hot Jocks series of hockey romances。 But the Looking to Score series feels a bit more emotionally hard-hitting so far， and I am here for it！ It’s Kendall Ryan， so you can expect a super sexy sports romance， but there’s also some delicious angsty emotion， but just enough to keep readers invested without bogging them down in pain。 Like I said， I wasn’t too sure about Alex going into this book， but he worked his way into my heart。 Talk about your misunderstood heroes！ He was broody and moody， but he had a really kind and charming side that he didn’t show to too many people。 From their first real interaction， though， Alex saw a kindred spirit in Aspen， the assistant to the owner of the hockey team who also happens to be Alex’s long-time ex-girlfriend。 These two just clicked， and with the off-season upon them， they’re both looking to regroup after a rough year。 Aspen is fresh off a nasty break up of a long-time relationship。 Her tender heart is recovering， and she’s not looking to be the next notch on anyone’s bedpost—let alone her friend and boss’s bad-boy ex。 But there was something about the way Alex just seemed to get her and the natural ease they both felt in each other’s company， not to mention that crazy， electrifying chemistry， that made it all worth the risk。Alex was headed to rural Canada to spend the summer as the caretaker at a teammate， Saint’s cabin。 He invites Aspen along， and the two of them spend a summer completing Saint’s to-do list and getting to know each other。 The thing is the more they learn about each other， the closer they become， and coupled with all this overwhelming attraction， both are feeling way more than they anticipated。 I just loved seeing this softer， kinder side of Alex。 Watching this man fall in love with Aspen was the best sort of redemption。 Aspen may have been heartbroken and hurt， but seeing herself through Alex’s eyes was a balm for her soul。 They were so natural and perfect together， and I honestly wasn’t expecting that， but boy did I gobble it up！The Rival was an unputdownable love story about a swoon-worthy hockey playing hero redeeming himself and finding soul deep love with a compassionate and fun heroine who is coming into her own。 An emotional， passionate， unputdownable pleasure-read， it was full of heart-string-pulling emotion and a smoking hot， slow-building romance。 The Rival by Kendall Ryan gets 5 smooches from me！~Danielle Palumbo 。。。more

The Boston Titans’ resident bad boy just got an attitude adjustment。 Alex Braun plays for his ex-girlfriend’s team。 He even goes to the engagement party。 Awkward。 There he sees Aspen Ford crying softly in the corner。 Something draws him to her。 It could be her beauty or the fact he hates that’s she’s sad。 Nevertheless he manages to perk up her spirits and get his teammate to hire her as his cabin caretaker for the summer。 Never mind that Alex was going to do it anyway。 What happened next became The Boston Titans’ resident bad boy just got an attitude adjustment。 Alex Braun plays for his ex-girlfriend’s team。 He even goes to the engagement party。 Awkward。 There he sees Aspen Ford crying softly in the corner。 Something draws him to her。 It could be her beauty or the fact he hates that’s she’s sad。 Nevertheless he manages to perk up her spirits and get his teammate to hire her as his cabin caretaker for the summer。 Never mind that Alex was going to do it anyway。 What happened next became an amazing summer where Alex and Aspen forged a friendship and led to a heart or two being sacrificed to that ting called love。 But things are a little dicey since Alex’s ex is Aspen’s friend and boss。 Not to mention all the things Aspen heard about Alex she he was dating Eden。 Can they put aside the rivalry for love？ I truly didn’t like Alex’s character in The Rebel。 He was all kinds of bad boy with a side of attitude。 But he redeemed himself in this book with his sweet and soft side as he fell in love with Aspen。 She was the best thing that happened to Alex and vice versa。 They balanced each other out and brought out all the good qualities that made them fall in love。 Can’t wait for The Rookie！I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review。 。。。more

Great read Kendall ryan delivers another amazing book。 The rival is book 2 on the looking to score series。 We were introduced to Alex and Aspen in the Rebel。 What started out as a summer fling soon turned into something serious。 Feelings start to develop that weren't suppose too。 It was beautiful， sexy， Swoony and a page turner。 The characters are fantastic and the storyline is addictive。 Great read Kendall ryan delivers another amazing book。 The rival is book 2 on the looking to score series。 We were introduced to Alex and Aspen in the Rebel。 What started out as a summer fling soon turned into something serious。 Feelings start to develop that weren't suppose too。 It was beautiful， sexy， Swoony and a page turner。 The characters are fantastic and the storyline is addictive。 。。。more

Wow！ This was swoon worthy from start to finish。 Having not read the first book in this series， I can see where Alex’s character was misunderstood， but this newest release brings him forward in a new light。 When he finds himself helping Aspen， it takes an unexpected turn he didn’t know he was ready for， but a sweet chemistry and a friendship that became more made for an delightful read。 This is a definite must read for sports fan with a great storyline。

The second book in the Looking to Score Series following Alex and Aspen。 This was an engaging story， with some sweet romance and a lot of heart。 I have to hand it to Kendall she was able to take an unlikeable character and make you fall in love with him。 After reading the first book I disliked Alex because I loved Eden so much that he became the villian。 In this book we got a peek into Alex's head and we found a misunderstood man who didn't know what he truly wanted when he was with Eden。 Enter The second book in the Looking to Score Series following Alex and Aspen。 This was an engaging story， with some sweet romance and a lot of heart。 I have to hand it to Kendall she was able to take an unlikeable character and make you fall in love with him。 After reading the first book I disliked Alex because I loved Eden so much that he became the villian。 In this book we got a peek into Alex's head and we found a misunderstood man who didn't know what he truly wanted when he was with Eden。 Enter Aspen， Eden's opposite。 Aspen was exactly what Alex needed。 This was a slow burn but so worth the wait。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

I love everything that Kendall Ryan writes。 The Rival is the second book in her Looking to Score series。 This book can be read as a complete standalone but I highly recommend reading The Rebel as well。 Alex Braun plays hockey for Boston Titans which is owned by his ex girlfriend Eden。 They had a bad breakup and he got himself some bad publicity playing the field with lots of women。 She asks him to lay low for the summer so he decides to spend it at his friend Saint's cabin in Canada。 He never ex I love everything that Kendall Ryan writes。 The Rival is the second book in her Looking to Score series。 This book can be read as a complete standalone but I highly recommend reading The Rebel as well。 Alex Braun plays hockey for Boston Titans which is owned by his ex girlfriend Eden。 They had a bad breakup and he got himself some bad publicity playing the field with lots of women。 She asks him to lay low for the summer so he decides to spend it at his friend Saint's cabin in Canada。 He never expects to fall for his ex girlfriend's assistant who is care taking at the cabin。Aspen is coming off a bad breakup and is soon going to be homeless。 When one of the hockey players offers to let pay her to take care of his cabin in Canada for the summer she can't pass up the opportunity。 She never imagined also spending it with Alex one of the hottest guys on the team。 Will these two remain just friends or will they decide to give a relationship a try？I loved the connection between Alex and Aspen。 The secondary characters added lots of depth to the storyline。 I can't wait for the next book in this series！ 。。。more

This was such a cute read and just what I needed。 To be honest I was not a fan of Alex Braun， I thought this would be the first Kendall Ryan book that I was not going to like。 Ms。 Ryan definitely won me over。 I loved seeing a different side of Alex and just how perfect he and Aspen were for each other。 Kendall Ryan always gives us such cute stories with the best endings。 I can not wait for the next book in this series。 Definite must read！！
