What a loss!

We experience the loss harder than we do the wins. Fresh in your mind and hurting, it's hard to brush off this ending. Good thing I'm a hopeless romantic and already knew it was a ckiffhanger. I already have book 2 downloaded and cued up.

Morgan and Hamilton (moans inappropriately) have once again made puddles out of listeners. Their individual voices are distinct and damn near erotic but their combined hotness makes earbuds melt, undergarments disolve, and uncontrollable animalistic groans a reality!

Dec and Grant are EVERYTHING, until they aren't in Scoring With Him. Guess we need to go for the win!?! Winning With Him here I come.

This has got to be the only sports romance I've ever read where the characters want to be on different teams. How is that better? How is that more acceptable to everyone around you? You literally (explicitly!) tell each other your weaknesses.

I was not paying much attention to this. I started dissociating for entire parts, and I don't know exactly what happened in them. But I liked the guys and I'm unwilling to say anything unfavourable, so 3 stars.

First of the year 2023 and a strong one, except for that unexpected cliff hanger…

You lucky you’re a hot book with lots of smut, angst and lip biting (by me) or you’d be losing a star for that kind of behaviour!!

Its a series (didn’t know that when I started) and that kinda ruined it for me as i prefer my romance books as (interconnected) standalones. I just cant deal with all the ups-and-downs. But that is kind of my fault.

Scoring With Him by Lauren Blakely is book 1 in the Men of Summer Series focusing on Grant Blackwood and Declan Steele. Both men are baseball players for the same team and meet during Spring Training. The attraction between these 2 is pretty much instant. MM romance is not my typical genre but the storyline, writing style, and depth of the 2 main characters is just fantastic. These 2 do their best to resist but can you resist what feels so right? Grant and Declan each have their own demons from their pasts. Watching them deal is just heartwarming because no one should endure what they have faced. Lauren Blakely is one of the best writers when it comes to between-the-sheets action. I mean just flat out amazing. Yes, these men are baseball players who are quite handsome but you do not need to understand the game to appreciate the story. If MM romance is your thing then you will enjoy the story for sure. If you are unsure about this genre I encourage you to give this author along with Grant and Declan a chance to change your mind. Keep in mind this is book 1 in a 2 book series. There is lots of action in book 1. I completely enjoyed book 1 and am anxiously awaiting book 2 to see if Declan and Grant find forever love or will they let it slip through their gloves? I received an ARC/ALC in exchange for an honest review. *****
