“You are strong and steady like a mountain. Just this breath. And the next.”
Scoring the Doctor was so much deeper and more complex than I had anticipated. I was not expecting the emotional and psychological punch that this story packed.
Reece has been taking care of his mom, helping raise his younger siblings, and working relentlessly at the hospital as a psychologist. His ex left him after his mom’s stroke and now he feels as if he is being buried by burdens and the pressure to be perfect. So when his sister and her billionaire husband suggest he take a sabbatical from the hospital and come do some psychological training with his brother in laws all girls soccer team he decides that maybe this is the break he needs to recover. It doesn’t hurt that Skyler, the girl he has been in love with since high school, is the captain of the team. Not that he can have any type of relationship with her…but…he can’t help but want to be near her.
And well Skyler…Skyler…is slowly falling apart herself. When she discovers her long time boyfriend has been unfaithful she kicks him out and decides to focus on soccer, motivating her team, and winning the next three games. But the pressure of soccer, her captain duties, and the doubts of her self worth brought on by a mentally abusive partner are taking a toll on her and she decides seeking help from the teams new—some what nerdy, but handsome—psychologist might be her best option to keep her head in the game.
And what follows is a story about two lost people searching for themselves. All the while navigating exes, soccer, meddling family, unfaithful friends, the patient/Dr expectations and the moral and ethical ramifications of a sexual relationship between the two, sexual psychology, realizing one’s own self worth, and deciding what one is willing to risk for love and acceptance.
This book was so much deeper psychologically than I anticipated. And honestly I’ve had to think it over for the past two days to wrap my mind around it. I really really loved both Skyler and Reece and my heart yearned for them to be together. I wanted their situation to be simple. They loved each other and so duh? They of course would be together right? But Lace really dove into the reality of this situation. The fact that Reece saw Skyler as his patient and therefore was torn between wanting her mind, body, and soul but also hating himself was really written quite well. After the psychology major in me analyzed it for the past 2 days I’ve decided that I don’t really think it was as big of an issue as he made it in his mind. And I’m glad that in the end they could be together.
Both had to do some growing and finding themselves and in the end they ended up right where they should be and I really enjoyed how Lace wrote it. It was realistic to their situation and it turned out very sweet.
Now this book was spicy! Not the spiciest I’ve ever read…buuuuuut…close. However, I really think that the sexual intimacy of the story was absolutely necessary to the development of both Skyler and Reece’s characters. They both learned a lot about themselves and each other and I think it was written really honest and true.
So yep, do you enjoy a little of soccer, a lot of spice, and some depth and substance to your romance novels? Where things aren’t always sunshine and roses, but that’s ok because the hard times make the Happily Ever After that much sweeter! Where you learn to accept and appreciate yourself? If you do then you just have to read Scoring the Doctor.
