Scoring Eden

Rate this book
After the media releases an inflammatory story about my sexual exploits, I find myself in hot water. And now my soccer team’s new sponsor wants to strip me of my captain badge and kick me off the team.

My coach’s hands are tied. There’s nothing he can do, he says. Maybe if I was in a committed relationship we could use it to reform my public image, and he’d be able to convince the sponsor to keep me on the team…

Lucky for me, the feisty single mom I met at the dentist’s office needs a fake relationship of her own. And with a heart as damaged as mine, falling in love with her won’t be an issue. Pretty sure Eden doesn’t like me all that much anyway.

I just have to play pretend for a while.

Pretend to melt into every kiss, every touch, every longing look across the room. Pretend to adore her. Pretend to love her more than I’ve ever loved anyone before.

Except, when all is said and done, I’m not sure I was ever pretending at all.


Scoring Eden is book two in the Seattle Strikers series, but can be read as a standalone.

Fake dating
Single mom
Found family
Forced proximity
Men in therapy

Fake relationships are always more fun when everyone around the couple can see the feelings coming first.

Eden and Alex had a natural spark from the beginning, and I enjoyed watching their arrangement slowly turn into something genuine. Their relationship felt especially satisfying because they became a source of comfort and encouragement for each other rather than just falling into attraction.

Eden was funny, warm, and fiercely devoted to Macon, while Alex won me over with his protective nature and the softer side beneath his flirty exterior. Seeing him work through his past and become such a steady presence for Eden and Macon was one of my favorite parts. Macon’s relationship with Alex was adorable, and Aspen brought exactly the kind of chaotic sibling energy that made the supporting cast so much fun.

The mix of humor, emotional moments, family, and romance worked beautifully here. I especially appreciated the therapy scenes and the way Alex’s growth was given space instead of being rushed. A few moments felt slightly drawn out, but the emotional payoff and chemistry more than made up for it.

This was a warm, funny, emotional sports romance that left me thoroughly satisfied and very attached to this little found family.

Thank you to Love Notes PR and Maisie Myers for allowing me to ARC read ‘Scoring Eden.’

Oh, Maisie Myers, your books are just gold dust. They really are amazing.
‘Scoring Eden’ is book two in Maisie’s ‘Seattle Strikers’ series, and it’s another knockout of a book. Whilst this is part of a series, I do think you could read this as a standalone, as well.

The cover art for this one is so gorgeous. I am a sucker for pink books, and this one really is stunning.

There are some pretty heavy-hitting scenes in this one, so I’d suggest reading through the content warnings prior to reading if you think you’ll be affected. These are very clearly listed at the start of the book.

This story featured some of my favourite tropes: Single parent; found family; sport romance; fake relationship. They were executed well and I ate it up.
The plot and pacing worked well together. I found I was never bored reading this, and the chemistry between Eden and Alex came so easy. It was a pleasure to read.
Also, how cute is Macon? Bloody adorable!

This is written in dual first-person POV, and that’s worked really well. Particularly when Alex’s issues and ‘healing’ needed explaining. It definitely added some great layers to this heart-warming story.

The spice was done well (as usual!) in this book. It was just enough without being ‘smut for the sake of smut,’ which I appreciated.

I would 100% recommend this book!

This book can take my whole heart, body and soul because it deserves it. I was a crying mess by the time the book was finished and after I finished I felt so lost I don’t know what to do with myself. From the messy meet-cute at Eden’s workplace to their final romantic moment on the porch this book was pure romance perfection. I love a single mom romance and the fake dating paired so well with this plot. Alex and Eden are total opposites but fit together so well. Alex is super flirty from the start but is chronically emotionally detached while Eden just needs stability for her and her son Macon (and yes it does rhyme with Bacon). But Alex has got the protector gene from being the older brother and only family to his younger sister Brynn and protects those he loves so fiercely I didn’t know whether to swoon or cry. He is the perfect book boyfriend: he’s educated about periods, he plays games with her son, and he goes to therapy, the list of green flags goes on and on. I loved the therapy parts in this book because he does really struggle at first but Eden motivates him to finally move forward. I was crying so hard during those parts because a man who is willing to face his demons for you is a damn keeper. Bonus points for Dr Sharma too because she is the most hilarious and amazing therapist she deserves a major round of applause. But the one who deserves the most applause is Eden, she’s dedicated her life to taking care of her son and raised him to be the most amazing kid ever. She’s fiercely loyal and loving, and has been done so bad by her ex husband, but Alex is here to rectify that. The fake dating was never fake from the start because everyone could see them making googly eyes at each other, even Macon who is only 10 years old. And the cherry on top is that there is NO third act breakup just the most devastating of plot twists that leads to the most hilarious of a heist. The ending was so beautiful, especially Macon’s part because he is the most amazing side character (alongside Edens chaos queen sister Aspen). There are so many hilarious moments, romantic scenes, and emotional breakthroughs that you will not want to put this book down. It is a masterpiece and deserves a 5/5

* ARC opportunity thanks to @lovenotes.pr & @maisiemyersauthor *

Read as a standalone, eventhough it’s the second book in the series.
A delicious slow burn that made me stay up way too late, unable to stop reading. A great group of characters, a chosen family giving us lots of banter and unconditional love. There were some heavy topics in this book but written with a lot of care. Some all-time favourite tropes with just the right amount of cheese and great pacing.
Emotional and sexy, this was a really fun read. The first but definitely not last Maisie Myers book on my shelf!

Scoring Eden ⚽
Firstly,I want to thank LoveNotes PR & Maisie Myers for trusting me with this ARC!🎀

not to be dramatic or anything,BUT THIS WAS AN OTHER FIVE STAR.
Our main character,Eden is a working single mother,who by her LETHAL face card 👸🏻 managed to unlock a life that had never ever thought she could have for herself and,of course,her little boy Macon.Through her eyes,we see the resilience in a woman's life,who at the same time tries to balance motherhood,& in between,accidentally,fall in love with a man some women can only dream of.As a reader,I feel a big sense of pride when female main characters such as this,are on my paper,while this time specifically Eden,was even more pleasing to read about,due to the cuteness and sweetness of her character.Unlike,MY BELOVED,Aspen (her sister),which was M Y GIRL.💅🏻
Literally,I have never felt so seen.THAT GIRL had me on pins & needles the entire time,wondering what her next move would be,& reminding me that I should be even crazier in real life.(ASPEN I LOVE YOU🫪).At the same time,Alex was really a book boyfriend to pay attention at.Personally,I haven't read the previous book,but as I could understand,my boy,had some anger issues (yes,let's not here✋🏻).However,in this story I see a man with morals,deeply caring for his family,which meant the world for him,while overly passionate on the stadium & in the end we left him deeply in love with his girl.Leading me towards to the romance,I can honestly say it was absolutely beautiful to read.We had a man that would move mountains,& go on mission impossible (the girls who get it get it) for his girl,and let's not forget that Eden,as much as she did not wanted at first,got it REAL GOOD.-i mean I would probably with this man-.
Yet our story was not all sunshine and rainbows.
Eden journey with motherhood,while fighting to just keep your child,played a huge impact of how everything formed,while I liked so much that even Macon got a chapter of his to show us from his own eyes how that child was feeling everything.As you most likely know,in the best chunk of romances of that genre,what happens with the kid,is only viewed from the mother's/father's eyes or/and the love interest's one,but I really appreciated that we saw the point of view,from the actual person that was literally taken from home.Truly,this showed me how good of a job was done in the writing process of Scoring Eden.
Lastly,& literally talking about the very last words right now,the way she ended that book HEALED ME.yep that's it,STRAIGHT UP treated every emotional wound on me and my,terrible romantic life.thank you girl 😶‍🌫️

Maisie Myers scored a goal with Scoring Eden! I really enjoyed reading this single mom, soccer player, faked relationship romance. Eden is a single mom to a 10 year old son and is dealing with a jerk ex who is a top lawyer. Alex is a soccer player who is dealing with an image problem. So in order to stay on his team he tells the team he has a girlfriend. So Alex and Eden decide to help each other out. Eden can be the girlfriend Alex needs and Alex has the money to fight her ex. So what could possibly go wrong.

Eden and Alex were good main characters. They were both likeable and relatable in their own ways. Alex even though he is extremely flirty, he is extremely protective of those he cares about. Eden is willing to do whatever to make sure he son has the best life possible. . Even if that means dealing with a jerk of a boss. The chemistry between Eden and Alex is there from the moment they first meet and only grows as the story continues.

Other things about this book, Eden’s sister is a good secondary character. She is there for Eden when she needs her but she is also there to give Eden that push when she needs it. I also love the relationship between Alex and Eden's son. They hit off from the start and the way Alex basically steps up and becomes the dad he needs will warm your heart. It will warm your heart to watch those two. I also like the moments between Alex and his therapist. I found those moments to be funny and interesting because it gave you more of an insight of who Alex is plus some of the things the therapist said were funny. Additional things about this book: the writing was good. The story is told at a good pace. There are spicy scenes and those are well written. They aren't cheesy or over the top.

Overall, Scoring Eden is a good read. The story of Eden and Alex is both funny, heartwarming, somewhat emotional and spicy. If you are looking for single mom, sport romance then Scoring Eden is the right book for you .

📚 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆 📚

Some books make you fall for the romance, some make you fall for the characters—and Scoring Eden managed to do both.

I absolutely adored Eden. From the very first pages, her thoughts, observations, and completely unfiltered comments had me laughing out loud. She has that rare kind of personality that makes you feel like you’ve known her forever, and I genuinely looked forward to every moment she was on the page. She’s funny and warm, but there’s also so much more underneath that humour, which made her feel incredibly real and easy to connect with.

Alex won me over just as easily. I loved seeing the softer, more vulnerable sides of him emerge, and the way he and Eden gradually became a source of comfort and support for each other felt natural rather than forced. Their relationship had the kind of chemistry that made me smile like an idiot, but what I appreciated most was that there was genuine emotional weight behind it. They didn’t simply fall for each other—they gave each other space to grow, heal, and be understood.

What really stayed with me was the balance of humour and heavier emotional moments. This book made me laugh so often, but it also caught me off guard with some genuinely touching moments. The supporting characters added so much warmth and personality too, making the whole world of the story feel wonderfully lived-in.

This was my first book by Maisie Myers, and it definitely won’t be my last. I finished it with a huge smile and that slightly sad feeling you get when you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to characters you’ve grown attached to.

Thank you so much to Love Notes PR for sending me an ARC copy of Scoring Eden. 💕

Thank you to Maisie Myers and Love Notes PR for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

I loved Scoring Eden. It made me laugh, smile and shed a couple of tears.

Eden became a mom at eighteen and has spent the last ten years raising her son, Macon. When she meets Alex Wolfe, she has no idea who he is. It turns out he’s the captain of an MLS team. They end up agreeing to fake date, with Alex hoping to repair his image and Eden hoping their arrangement will help as she faces a custody battle with her ex, who is getting married and now wants full custody of Macon.

I loved Eden and Alex as a couple. I enjoyed watching them get to know each other as their relationship deepened and turned into something real. Eden is dealing with the custody battle for her son, while Alex is working through the loss of his parents at a young age and adjusting to his changing role in his sister’s life now that she’s married. I loved how they supported each other and helped each other heal along the way. Her son Macon was also a highlight and made this story special for me. Macon’s bond with Alex grew and he took on a father figure role in his life.

I also really enjoyed the supporting characters, especially Eden’s sister, Aspen. She was hilarious and a great addition to the story.

This book had a great mix of romance, family, and emotional moments that I wasn’t expecting. I loved watching Eden and Alex’s story unfold, and by the end I knew this was a five-star read for me.

I’ll now be going back to read the first book in the series about Alex’s best friend Leo and his sister Brynn immediately!

Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to Love Notes PR and Maisie Myers for giving me the opportunity to ARC read ‘Scoring Eden.’

The cover art for this book is absolutely stunning. I would recommend checking the content warnings before diving in, especially if you think certain themes might affect you.

Maisie Myers, your writing never fails to impress me. ‘Scoring Eden’ is the second installment in the ‘Seattle Strikers’ series, and it’s another fantastic addition. Although it’s part of a series, I believe it can be enjoyed as a standalone novel as well.

This story includes some of my favourite tropes: a single parent, found family, sports romance, and a fake relationship.

The plot and pacing were well balanced, keeping me engaged throughout without a dull moment. The chemistry between Eden and Alex felt natural and effortless. I really enjoyed seeing their relationship grow and deepen into something genuine. Their mutual support and the way they helped each other heal was heartwarming. Eden’s son, Macon, was also a standout character for me, making the story even more special. The bond that developed between Macon and Alex was touching, with Alex stepping into a father figure role in Macon’s life.

The romantic elements were handled skillfully, as usual with Maisie Myers’ books. The intimacy was just right—not excessive or gratuitous—which I truly appreciated. The story made me laugh, smile, and even brought a few tears to my eyes.

Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking for a heartfelt and engaging romance

I met Maisie at Four Brits Book Fest and bought a copy of her book Winning Brynn, which I really enjoyed. So when I saw that she was looking for ARC readers for Scoring Eden I just had to sign up!

Alex is a football (soccer) player with a guarded heart; Eden is a struggling single mum working as a dental receptionist. They decide to enter into a fake relationship to benefit them both - Eden's ex is trying to take her son Macon off her, and Alex needs to improve his reputation for the sake of his career.

Both of the main characters are adorable - they have their flaws, particularly Alex, but I loved how he worked hard to try to deal with them. The scene where he told Macon about his own parents genuinely made me cry, it was so well-written.

The spice was great and felt appropriate to the story, even though I wanted to shake Alex after the washing machine scene - silly boy, but to be fair to him he worked to understand WHY he had done it.

And as for side characters - Macon - what can I say! He was just such a lovely, quirky kid with his love for hats and musicals and gaming, and when he and Alex talked about their stuffed toys (sob!). As a mum to a ten-year-old myself, I felt like Maisie got the balance right between "wanting to be grown up" and "still being a little boy". I also loved Eden's sister Aspen - she was hilarious, took no prisoners and I really hope she gets her own book one day.

Many thanks to Maisie and Love Notes PR for the advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

* I have been sent this book by Maisie Myers and Love Notes PR. This is my honest review and I have not been paid for this review. Thank you to Maisie Myers and Love Notes Pr for sending me this book*

Eden is a single mother who lives in a apartment above a shop with her 10 year old son who is currently fighting a divorce with her top lawyer ex.

Alex is a footballer who has a playboy image who has been told he needs to stop it if he wants to be the captain of the football team or even worse he will be kicked off the team.

After agreeing to be his 'fake' girlfriend to help him get a new and improved image for the team and to keep his spot on the team, Eden is finding herself fighting her feelings for Alex as she doesn't want her son to get too attached as Alex is treating him like how a dad should.
Alex is also fighting his feelings for Eden as he finds it hard to let people in as he has a hard childhood and finds it hard to trust.

Can Alex have his happy ever after and let people into his life?

I really enjoyed this book! I'm a sucker for romance and sports together but even better when it's football! I love the character developments in it and I have to add that Eden's sister Aspen was my favourite overall.

4/5

WHOA, buddy, I’ll usually give any sports romance a try. But hot dang… this one may possibly be my new favorite. 😏

I’ve never read a soccer romance before, and while I’m definitely a big hockey romance reader, I think soccer in this series has officially earned its place right alongside the sports romances I love.

I highly recommend not just this book, but the first one as well. While this book can absolutely be read as a standalone, I really feel like reading the first book gives you so much more emotional depth when it comes to Alex and everything we experience with him in this story.

I laughed, I swooned, and I definitely cried. This book honestly felt like two stories in the making, and I was completely invested in both.

And then there was the riptides analogy... riding the waves versus fighting them and getting dragged under. I literally got goosebumps. There was something about that comparison that just hit me right in the chest.

The story was SO good, and by the time I finished, I immediately wanted to reach for book three. And honestly? That says all you need to know . 👏

✨ARC Review✨
💜Scoring Eden by Maisie Myers
⚽️Seattle Strikers - Book 2
👾Eden + Alex

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Maisie Meyers and Love Notes PR for the ARC of Scoring Eden. This is the second book in the Seattle Strikers series, we loved Winning Brynn (book 1) so we highly recommend starting there. Alex is the captain of the Seattle Strikers soccer team and finds himself at risk of losing his position on the team because of his bachelor ways. Eden is the single mom struggling to raise her 10 year old son while working as a dental receptionist, when her ex husband threatens to take full custody. As fate would have it Alex and Eden can help each other out with a fake dating arrangement, both agreeing to no feelings. That agreement falls apart when they both realize maybe it wasn’t fake after all. There is custody drama and some shared moments and a whole lot of banter that made us absolutely hooked on this book. We love a man who is self aware enough to go to therapy…plus he is literally so protective of those he cares about. And Eden and Macon made sure to save him right back. We honestly can’t wait to see what’s in store for the rest of the Seattle Strikers!

I read this book in 2 days! If I didn’t have to go to work, I would have flown through it without stopping; I was so hooked. I loved every single lovely second.

Meet Eden. She is a single mother of Macon (rhymes with bacon), with a terrible boss but a strong will to keep fighting on. Enter Alex. The naturally cocky–I mean CONFIDENT– soccer player. They enter a mutually beneficial relationship of convenience, and the rest is history.

They have a spark from the very beginning (even if neither of them wants to admit it). They are charming and protective of those they love, are willing to put in the work to learn and grow, and I couldn’t get enough of it.

I don’t want to give too much away, but there is a lot of found family, friendly banter, and a spitfire of a kid that have me loving his main character energy from the second he’s mentioned on the page.

I read Finding Eden as a standalone, but I will be going back to read book 1 and anxiously await the rest of the books in the series!

ARC read! Thank you @lovenotes and @maisiemyers for the advance copy.

The new investors of the Seattle Strikers are a family friendly company. Which means that captain and playboy extraordinaire Alex needs to clean up his image to keep his captaincy and his spot on the team. Lucky for him Eden, the receptionist at his dentists office, who wasn’t affected by his charm and flirting, also needs a fake relationship to keep custody of her ten year old son. So they strike a deal: pretend to be in love without actually being in love. Easy, right?

Scoring Eden is book 2 of the Seattle Strikers series by Maisie Myers. It’s a standalone in this interconnected series. There are some references to the story of book 1 so if you hate even the tiniest spoiler I guess you should read this series in order.

Scoring Eden was my first book by the author and I can tell you it won’t be my last. I loved the writing style so much I literally flew through the pages because it was such an easy, fun and smooth read. The story was amazing. The love story is beautiful, it’s funny, charming, spicy and there is quite some suspense that held some surprises. I honestly can’t decide if I loved Alex or Eden more as a character because they are both simply brilliant. Both are incredibly complex characters. I loved their background stories, the way they developed throughout the book and the way they live life. Add in the cutest little ten year old and you have the perfect trio to star this story. I also fell in love with the rest of the Strikers and I can’t wait for their stories. 😍 Scoring Eden is definitely one of my highlights this year. 🫶

I received an arc for this book from Love Notes PR, and I really enjoyed it! It was so cutie.

It's been a while since I've read romance but reading this ARC reminded how fun it is to root for a couple to succeed despite everything going on around them that might hold them back. Fake dating is always a fun trope to see in books and it definitely didn't disappoint here! Really enjoyed this, and loved the main characters - special shoutout to Eden's son, Macon - the real MVP! I also appreciated the side characters and the support/community they provided the main characters. Found family always warms my heart. Oh! Also had a great balance of humor/funny moments and more serious/tender moments <3

This was the first book I read by Maisie Myers, but I might check out some of her other books!

some tropes inside:
- fake dating
- sports romance
- single parent
- found family
- forced proximity

𝗔𝗥𝗖 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 💌
★★★★½

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last.

I really loved the story and every single character. (I’m already looking forward to Aspen’s book, and if it’s with Theo, even better).

Even though I hadn’t read the book about the protagonist’s sister, I was still able to understand the whole context perfectly, which I really appreciate when stories are connected, because it’s not always easy to follow everything without having read the previous books.

I loved the interactions between the protagonists. I loved that everything they felt seemed real, natural, and meaningful, rather than just being there as filler to move the story forward.

Honestly, I don’t have much more to say.

Read it and thank me later 🧚🏻‍♀️

thank you, love notes, for the copy 🤍💌

Tropes:
⚽️ Soccer Player x Single Mom
⚽️ Fake Dating
⚽️ Reformed Playboy
⚽️ Golden Retriever
⚽️ Forced Proximity

Eden and Alex both need to be in a fake relationship - Alex needs to clean up his public persona, and Eden’s ex is threatening to take full custody of their son. When the paps get wind of their relationship and finds where she lives, Alex moves Eden and Macon into his home.

I thought Alex’s character was beyond sweet. He’s got a lot of childhood trauma and grief, and that is harming the possibility of him ever allowing himself a serious relationship. But he’s going to therapy, and I loved that rep. I thought Eden and Macon were really great too. This book was really sweet with a theme of healing, and the right amount of drama to bring these two closer together.

A.R.C. review

Okay, but WHO gave Maisie Myers permission to make me this emotionally attached?!

I went in expecting fake dating, footballers and spice… and somehow ended up catching feelings for fictional people like it was my full-time job.

Eden? LOVE her. Strong, protective and absolutely deserving of her happily-ever-after.

And Alex the confident footballer act was cute, but watching his soft side come out (especially with Macon) completely melted me.

Loved the chemistry between Eden and Alex. The banter, tension and fake-dating chaos had me grinning at my Kindle like an idiot.

And just when I thought I was here for the fun romance, the emotional side snuck up on me and attacked my feelings!

Would definitely recommend!

Some tropes:
hot footballer
fake dating
single mum
found family
ridiculous chemistry

This is the first book by Maisie that I have read and I fell in love with the characters and the storyline. Alex and Eden are two people trying to get over their own personal obstacles when they meet and come to realize that finding each other was the best thing ever.

Alex was exactly what Eden needed, someone to back her up and help her fight. He became so protective of her and Macon. With her, he could be himself and let his walls down because she didn’t know who he was.

Eden is funny, warm and completely unfiltered. The things that would come out of her mouth were hilarious. She is dealing with a custody battle and the connection she builds with Alex as the fake a relationship is sweet.

I thought this book was so good! I had the opportunity to read this as an arc book.
This was such an emotional and beautifully written romance. Eden’s story was so much more than just a love story, it was about motherhood, healing from the past, finding yourself again, and learning that you deserve to be loved in a way that feels safe and genuine.
There were so many moments that made me laugh, smile, and want to hug these characters.
This book also deals with some heavier topics, including emotional abuse, custody struggles, and the difficulties of motherhood, but I thought those elements added so much emotional depth to Eden’s journey. I really liked this book and i would rate it a 5/5. It was a good romance but also discussed serious topics!

Thank you Love Notes PR and Maisie Myers for the ARC of Scoring Eden.

This is book 2 of the Seattle Strikers series. I haven't read book #1, but that was no problem at all.

The book follows soccer team captain Alex and single mom Eden, who end up in a mutually beneficial fake dating relationship: Alex needs to improve his image to save his spot on the soccer team, and Eden needs stability to keep her ex-husband from gaining custody of their son, Macon (rhymes with bacon).

I really liked this book, because both main characters have depth and trauma from their past to work through. But the book is not all sad and gloomy, not least thanks to Macon and Aspen (Eden's younger sister).

✨5 stars✨ and I'll for sure come back and read other books by Maisie Myers.

Thank you to love notes PR and Maisie Myers for allowing me to read an arc copy of Scoring Eden.
This book follows some of my favourite tropes like found family, sports romance, forced proximity and fake dating.
Eden and Alex’s journey follows some topics that can be tough to write/read but Maisie did an amazing job with handling the topics and writing them well.
I loved the dynamic between the two characters and how Eden didn’t know who Alex was which allowed him to be his true self and not have to put on an act. The slow burn build up between the two was not rushed and was soo good that when they finally did give in it was like kicking your feet squealing worthy.

I gave it 4.5 stars and would defiantly recommend reading you won’t regret it !

Eden quedó embarazada a los dieciocho años y desde entonces, ha hecho todo lo posible para darle a su hijo Macon la vida que merece. Ser madre nunca fue sencillo, pero ahora que esta divorciada y su ex le quiere quitar la custodia se enfrenta a su mayor miedo y hará lo necesario para luchar por su hijo.

Alex Wolfe es exactamente el tipo de hombre que Eden debería evitar. Famoso, encantador y un mujeriego, él tampoco está buscando una relación. Sin embargo, una propuesta inesperada hará que ambos acepten fingir una relación y casarse.

_______

Amé la dinámica entre los tres, bueno cuatro, incluyendo a Aspen.


Gracias Love Notes por el ARC.

Scoring Eden is book two of the Seattle Strikers Series. 

Alex was adorable when it came to his interactions with Eden. I found it humorous that she had no idea who he was and this showed he was able to be himself and be accepted as that, instead of his status. They both needed each other to get over their personal obstacles. I loved how protective and caring Alex was with what was happening with Eden. She needed someone to back her up and be in her corner and fight with and for her. He was the perfect person for this. He did everything in his power to improve these things and he did it very well. Super cute read!

ARC Review
Just finished this story and wow. I love a sports romance and this one did not disappoint. What I love most about a good sports romance is the found family aspect of teams, and this one has this in droves.
The writing around the villains in this story was also brilliant. I truly hated them both.
Eden and Alex's chemistry is leg-kicks worthy and I found myself squealing a lot through the different stages of their physical relationship.
I absolutely sobbed in the final few chapters from sadness and happiness.
Theo in the team gives me Ethan vibes from the DC Stars series, so I can't wait to see what his story might be in the future. Aspen was also super fun!

I was beyond lucky to get an early copy of this absolute masterpiece and this is another novel I am obsessed with! ✨🫶🏻

This took my through all the emotions and my favourite thing is the mental health representation especially with a male getting help cos it is not spoken about nearly enough! 💚

Maisie knows what she is doing pulling all the strings for every emotion in one novel! 🥹😭🥺

I fell in love with every single character except Sebastian 👀 obviously from the very start!!!

I hope to one day have a kid as amazing as Macon ❤️

It surprised the heck out of me how much I loved this arc!! the pace, story, banter, and characters really charmed me. Aspen was a chaotic icon that I need a follow up book on ASAP. Eden and her son were very sweet. Alex… you definitely were in the doghouse in my eyes for a couple of chapters but ultimately won me back around. May we all find someone who loves us as we are and wants to be brave with us.

What to expect:
👀 Fake Dating but was always lowkey real
⚽️ Soccer Romance
💞 Forced Proximity
🧡 Found Family

Thank you so much LoveNotesPR for my advanced copy!
