Story
Six years ago, Eden barged into my life and turned everything upside down. We spent one scorching-hot night together, and then she disappeared into the sunset with the golden jock everyone adored. Which makes sense, right? A girl as beautiful and brilliant as Eden Wynn doesn’t end up with a rebel like me. I expected them to live happily ever after, but that's not what happened. She's back in my life - and tempting me like no one else has. And while I'm certain I'll only tarnish her shine, I want her.

Remember that time you accidentally woke up in Vegas married to your hot younger guy friend? That's basically my life right now. Mistakes were made, okay? He's too young for me. Twenty-three to my 30. And he's saving himself for the right girl. Yup. Apparently, I've married the last alpha-male virgin on the planet. And my stubborn, oddly traditional new husband doesn't want a divorce.

Recovering from a pulled groin muscle isn’t exactly how I planned to spend my much-needed summer vacation. But being nursed back to health by my gorgeous friend, Bailey, who’s just graduated from medical school, doesn’t exactly sound like a hardship. She’s funny and kind, and after just being myself for the first time in a long time, I find my walls come tumbling down. But when Bailey says she’s not looking for a relationship, I’m bound and determined to be more than just the fun hookup who sprained his groin a second time - this time with her.

You think you've got me all figured out from working alongside me for two weeks, but you don't know me. Not really. You don't know that I'm a single dad to twin toddlers, or that those two little girls matter more to me than this entire hotel chain. I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room.

The woman I want is as off-limits as they come. I had an excuse two years ago when I met her on campus. She interviewed me for a story on major league baseball's rising stars, and we shared a hot, passionate night that ended far too soon, and without a mention of who her father was. Now I know the innocent but sexy woman I can’t stop thinking about is the coach's daughter. All the more reason to resist Reese. That ought to be easy enough, until she confesses she's still carrying her V card, and she’s been wanting me to cash it in since the day we met.

I’m not boyfriend material. If a trail of broken hearts and a piss-poor record of failed relationships have taught me anything, it’s this. My buddies are happy to give me shit about my latest breakup from here to next Sunday. Thanks, but I’d rather have a root canal. And a vasectomy. At the same time. Relief comes in an unlikely package - the gorgeous and feisty Maren. She just so happens to be my best friend’s sister, so that’s not awkward at all.

Alex & Aspen’s Sweet Summertime Romance!
Alex & Aspen’s Sweet Romance Is About Two People Nursing Broken Hearts & Unexpectedly Finding Love With One Another.
This is book two of the Looking to Score series. It is a standalone. Book one, The Rebel, is Holt Rossi and Eden Wynn’s story.
FROM THE REBEL, BOOK ONE:
This story opens as the hockey season is about to begin.
Eden Wynn, roughly twenty-seven, is from Massachusetts royalty. Her grandfather – Grandpa Pete – had been owner of the Boston Titans since she was small, and her father had been governor while she was in high school. Her family was connected. But not everything is perfect behind the scenes of the elite, and to her horror the entire world knew some of her family’s baggage when her father was caught in a compromising position while still in office. That scandal only brought more pressure to bear on her shoulders. She would need to prove herself, and she was determined to make that happen. she knew she needed to challenge herself to step out of her comfort zone. She needed to be a little reckless, a little less boring. And she didn’t hesitate to do things once she made up her mind. Her family mantra: Wynn at all costs.
Alex Braun was on a hockey scholarship, and rumor had it he would be signing with the NHL and skipping his senior year at Sutton. He was going to be a star. When a dare at a party led to a kiss, Eden set her sights on him. He would be her reckless fun. Certainly he was rumored to have the coeds at his beck and call, but all she wanted was some fun. Some other ideas slipped into her consciousness, too – like the idea that together they would make a great power couple.
Holt Rossi might not play hockey, but he is a bear of a man. He and Eden had taken some classes together during freshman and sophomore year, before he declared his major in criminal justice. They had even worked on a project together. He couldn’t help but fall a little for her, though he knew she was out of his league. Abandoned at a young age by his father and raised by his drunk mother, he never had much of a childhood. His older brother landed in prison, and Holt decided as a teen he needed to escape that life. His academic scholarship to Sutton University was too good to be true, just like the notion that someone like Eden might choose someone like him. When they somehow crossed paths at a party during junior year, he knew she was interested in meeting Braun there. He couldn’t believe she ended up in his bedroom with him instead. That she talked and opened up, and he did the same. And then what followed….
Eden had chosen one man. Six years later, Eden is once again with both men before her, wondering if she made the wrong decision. Wondering where she might be now if she had chosen differently. Even Alex was surprised when he put his playing days behind to have a relationship with Eden. They spent five years together, with her following his career. But eventually the novelty wore off and Alex withdrew. With rumors of cheating in the tabloids, who eagerly gobbled up stories about the couple, it was hard to know what to believe. When their relationship blew up six months ago, Eden was thankful that she had begun spending her spare time with her Grandpa Pete for the last three years. He had begun to groom her to take over running the Titans herself one day, so she was able to throw herself into her career when Alex left.
But her grandfather’s sudden death put everything in question. A battle ensued, but Eden finally won the right to keep the team. If only the public had supported her victory it would have been a real celebration. As it is, she is hated by the fans, not respected by the team, and the target of much mean-spirited speculation in the tabloids. As a woman and the youngest owner in the league, the consensus is that she should sell the team. Nobody believes the team will be successful under her leadership. And to make matters worse, during her legal battle, Alex got traded to the Titans. She is now his boss.
IN THIS BOOK:
This book opens during the off-season the next summer.
Alex Braun, roughly twenty-eight, has learned a few things since his very public breakup with Eden Wynn just over a year ago. He had enjoyed being a bachelor once again, and the puck bunnies were appreciative of his new status, too. But much of the last year hadn’t gone as expected. With his trade to the Boston Titans, there were high expectations for his career, but the starting center didn’t live up to the hype. Some fans suggested he was too interested in hookups to give the game his full attention .He also had a rocky welcome to the team. It took a little bit of time for the players to embrace him, but that paled in comparison to his relationship with the Titans owner – his ex-girlfriend. She took over ownership following her grandfather’s death, and working for the woman he walked out on months earlier was more than awkward. But watching her fall in love with Holt Rossi was even more uncomfortable. It was a long season, but he finally learned a few things about himself. He is tired of the endless hookups, and his sister may be right about him pushing people away. It might have taken him a while, but Alex finally seems to be ready to grow up. The problem is that all the trouble he had gotten into over the last year, thanks to his impulsive behavior, is catching up with him now. His career is on the line, and a lot hinges on his reputation. He has been warned to keep a low profile over the summer and to stay out of trouble. His second season with the Titans is still uncertain.
Aspen Ford, turning twenty-five, just went through a rough breakup. She met Dale when she was twenty and they attended Harvard together. She had devoted herself to him, but she eventually realized that their relationship was not a two-way street. She had fallen for him before knowing him well. With hindsight, she realizes that she had been excusing his behavior for quite some time and thus failed to notice the red flags. Unfortunately, leaving Dale left her homeless. She is fortunate to not only be Eden Wynn’s executive assistant, but also her friend. Eden and her fiance’ Holt have kindly welcomed her in their home for the past two weeks, but Aspen knows it is time to move forward and find an apartment of her own. So when Alex Braun suggests that taking the summer caretaker position for Saint’s lake property in Ottawa might be a great way to help heal her broken heart, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
Alex can’t help his attraction to Eden’s assistant despite knowing better. But acting on that attraction with Aspen is wrong in so many ways. Aside from the fact that she is Eden’s friend, Aspen doesn’t seem like a one night stand kind of girl. And even though Alex is ready for a relationship personally, he cannot afford to be seen with women any time soon. He heads up to his teammate Saint’s cabin for the weekend to do some of the heavy lifting he had promised to help with, and the two find a level of comfort with one another that is surprising. They develop a friendship over the summer, and the lake house becomes a magical sort of bubble that keeps the world and its worries at bay. But as the new season approaches, uncertainty about what that might mean begins to weigh on them. The life of a hockey player is trying at times, and much of that time is spent on the road. Eden remains their boss, and her relationship with them both makes things complicated. They each face some self-reflection if there is any hope of making something real together. The couple eventually finds a happy ending.
Book three of the series, The Rookie, follows. It is Logan Tate and Summer Campbell’s story.
A few issues merit mention regarding the first book versus the second. First, Alex states that he had gone to the cabin on July fourth the year prior and implies he was still with Eden at the time. In book one, though, they would already have been broken up by summer. Their breakup was probably during the winter. Also, Eden later says that Alex never cheated or gave her reason to believe he had. In book one, it may be that he never did cheat, but Eden suffered through repeated rumors of cheating. It weighed on her. And Alex left her because he wanted to play the field. Rumors are often based on truth, and even if Alex did not technically cheat, his behavior was probably careless enough to allow some people to conclude that he did. Hence Eden’s statement doesn’t quite ring true. It also states here that Alex had accomplished his professional goals and was looking for someone to settle down with, but neither was true in book one. Alex’s career was a bit unstable. He had been traded several times during his five years with Eden, but his career was expected to finally take off in Boston. And of course wanting to play the field is not the same as wanting to settle down. He had emotionally withdrawn from Eden. It is certainly a challenge to take the villain of one story and make him into the hero of another, but it doesn’t feel authentic when too many facts shift. Different points of view give allowances, but some of these facts just don’t add up perfectly.
Alex and Aspen’s sweet romance is about two people nursing broken hearts and unexpectedly finding love with one another. Their summer at the lake house gives them the time and space to realize just how perfect they are together. The story is nicely written. The plot is simple. The characters have some depth. Much more is known about Alex’s character, from books one and two collectively. Aspen’s background is brief. The story is written in first person. The POV alternates between Alex and Aspen. I rate this book four stars.
As for the Audio: it is well-performed and consistent with the book.

The Narrators!😍
This was a solid romance. I loved the characters and I liked the storyline. I’ll read another book by Kendall Ryan for sure. What made this book absolutely shine, however, was the narration. These narrators were outstanding at bringing the characters to life with their voices. I’m extremely picky about audiobook narration...I’ve dumped many audiobooks because of mediocre narrators. Jacob Morgan and Vanessa Edwin are stellar!

Pure Wizardry
Kendall Ryan is a wizard! I didn’t think she could get me to love the bad boy, hockey star Alex but she did! After a tough season last year, he was looking to change his ways. All he needed was someone to believe in him to see him. Aspen, who is also going through her own struggles, is that person Alex is looking for. She was the perfect match for him.
Staying in a cabin in Canada gave them the perfect opportunity to get away from it all. To take some time to reset their lives. Little did they know that they would discover so much more not only about themselves but about each other. Through their friendship they discovered that they brought the best out of each other and they could be each other’s safe place and champion. The chemistry between them is insane! These two set the pages on fire! I loved this story so much. Can’t wait for the next book in this already incredible series.

Everyone has a person meant for them
I love the concept of finding that person that is meant specifically for you. And this story sticks true to that philosophy. Alex is coming off a tumultuous year in which his life was upended from a long-term relationship and making decisions that might not have reflected him in the best life. Aspen is stumbling around after an emotionally stunted relationship ended and now needs to find her way back to herself.
Enter off season/summer, where they both find themselves at a friends vacation cabin and keeping their distance just won't work. What neither expected was to fall in love and what it might look like after the summer bubble bursts.
I enjoyed the story, steamy-ness and listening to the narrators bring it to life.

Alex and Aspen
A sexy, sensual and entertaining romance. What happens in Canada doesn’t always stay in Canada. Alex and Aspen embark on a lust fueled, chemistry inducing passionate journey that leads them to more than either of them expected. I enjoyed this story.
Jacob Morgan and Vanessa Edwin did an absolutely amazing job bringing these wonderful characters to life.

Sweet Summer Romance
I love the minimal drama in this story. The sexual tension builds nicely so that you feel like both characters are fighting for release once they finally hook up. A perfect HEA…

This one took me a while….
This one took me a while to get on board! I had such a bad taste in my mouth for Alex after Eden’s story, but I finally came around!! There really are 2 sides to every story!! ❤️
