*Release Blitz/Review* The Rival (Looking to Score #2) by Kendall Ryan

Dump my cheating ex? Check.

Land an amazing job with Boston’s professional hockey franchise? Check.

Fall stupidly in love with hockey’s favorite bad boy? Ugh.

After wasting years of my life with the wrong person, I told myself all I wanted was a little no-strings fun. Enter Alex Braun—the wealthy, handsome, and notorious playboy who is equal parts charming, and dangerous as hell to my wounded heart.

After enduring a very public breakup of his own, the sexy player doesn’t want to be anyone’s forever. Too bad he barreled his way into my heart, instead of just my bed.

But this professional athlete knows a thing or two about competing, and he won’t let go so easily.

Warning: This romance contains one grumpy, emotionally damaged, but gorgeous-as-hell hockey player, and a whip-smart, hardworking heroine who has never quite fit in. It should only be read by those who like their men brawny and their romances red-hot!

Alex did not impress me even a little bit in book 1 of this series. The brash, does what he wants, cares for no one hockey player who’s pissed to be working for his ex? I was so not interested in his story but Aspen intrigued me. The quiet, polite, office assistant suddenly single and living with her boss and her boss’s new beau. How did we land there? Alex did manage to redeem himself to some degree throughout this book and we got to see a different side to him and to Aspen. While not my all time favorite Kendall Ryan novel – this was ended up being more solid than I had anticipated, which shouldn’t surprise me about Kendall’s writing.
