natvaquero 's review for:
Scoring a Spouse
by Liz Lincoln
4.5/5 Stars!
Thank you NetGalley for an ARC for this book!
Scoring a Spouse is a marriage-of-convenience, slow-burn, sports romance!!
Erica is Parker-Ward is at the peak of her career, being one of the best forwards for both her NWSL team and the US National Team. She was living her dream when her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis threatened to take it all away. To maintain her position on her teams, she decided to keep everything a secret however, that slowly starts to backfire when her medical costs start to accumulate and she could no longer afford her private medical care.
Nate Simmons is a very successful tech exec who believes he owes everything to his grandmother, Oma, who had raised him. So when her dying wish is to see him happy, in-love, and married, he is ready to anything.
When Erica and Nate meet at a bar, their attraction is undeniable and they end up confiding in each other about their issues, and at the end of the night its Erica, that decides to get married to solve both of their issues. Erica gets his health insurance and Nate makes his Oma happy. Its strictly business. But we all know they cannot just ignore their attraction for each other!
This was such an adorable story that had some of my favorite tropes: Marriage-of-convivence, found-family/friends, sports romance! Its was so freaking adorable. This sports romance in particular has a special place in my heart because I really related to the FMC when it came to playing a sport (specifically soccer) with an autoimmune disease. Erica was so determined and hardworking and I loved reading about her. BUTT! Nate was my favorite character. He was literally perfect in every way. He was such a good man you could literally feel his goodness when reading about him. He was so understanding, compassionate, loving, smart, mature. There are literally not enough words I could use to describe him!!! He literally did and would do anything for Erica! Without being asked!!!!! what a man. Don't get me started on his relationship with his Oma!!
Their chemistry was passionate yet adorable. The simplest of moments between both characters were so adorable, and honestly my favorite parts of the book. The only thing that frustrated me a little bit was the fact that Nate gave so much and I felt like Erica could have cared a little bit more.
