We promised our love was forever. A decade later, two little blue lines might settle the score.

You’ve heard of those kids who peak in high school?
Meet my love life.
Garrett Bradford was mine from the moment we saw each other in ninth grade.
Even then, he was a six-foot-four mountain of muscles with bright blue eyes, a wide grin, and a way with his hands.
He was the high school football star, and I was the dance team captain.
We were the storybook cliché… until we weren’t.

Now he’s the most famous offensive lineman in the league, and I’m a buttoned-up, ultra-professional lawyer.
My dancing days are over, and my carefully controlled life is a mess.
Infertility killed my marriage, or that’s what I told myself. Infertility and a cheating ex.
And my inability to get over Garrett Bradford.

One reckless night at his little sister’s wedding is only supposed to be a reunion, a trip down memory lane to a time when life was happier.
Six weeks later, I’m staring at a positive pregnancy test wondering, How did this happen?

I figure I’m on my own until Garrett overhauls his life, moves back to our small town, and shows up every day to massage my feet, hold my hair when I barf, and go with me to all my doctor’s appointments.
Our situation has an end date, just like it did so many years ago.
Unless this little score changes the game and gives us the second chance I thought we’d lost.

(THE WAY WE SCORE is a small-town, second-chance sports romance with reunited high school sweethearts, close proximity, surprise pregnancy, a protective Daddy Bear, parents to lovers, it’s always been you, and found family vibes. No cheating. No cliffhanger. No third-act breakup.)

After filing for divorce, Olivia thought she had lost the chance to have children. But when she reconnected with her high school sweetheart, she was shocked to discover she was pregnant with his baby.𝐈𝐭 was a second chance for both Garrett and Hannah, who had never been able to move on from each other. Garrett was patient and understanding, always showing his commitment to both Hannah and their baby. Despite her past experiences, Hannah was hesitant at first, but eventually learned to trust in their new beginning.𝐓𝐡𝐞 cherry on top was the fantastic duet narration by Samantha Brentmoor and Patrick Zeller, whose voices were a perfect match for this heartwarming story. It felt like I was watching a movie with them as the stars. The audio quality was top-notch.𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝟒.𝟓⭐️𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐞: 𝟑/𝟓🔥

    This would make a great recovery read. Very little relationship angst, great second chance, lots of humor but not a rom-com, great emotional depth & the steam is balanced well.

    I enjoyed Liv & Garrett a lot, as well as their families! And the chickens. 😁

    Garrett has some emotional damage to repair with Olivia before they truly get back together, but the way he's matured & the man he's become both make him perfectly capable of doing so. His heart is so sweet! Live is also a sweet, strong woman. She deals with the shock of her pregnancy well, even I'd she doesn't think she did. 😄

    I love the way their relationship grows with her pregnancy.

    This was a sweet second chance love story between Garrett and Olivia or Liv, former high school sweethearts that were suppose to go all the way. They split up because of differing goals in their college careers, This led to Olivia becoming a successful lawyer and marrying someone else. And Garrett go going pro with a successful career in the NFL. Garrett while having a successful college career was lacking love in his life. Olivia’s life wasn’t that great either. Her husband cheated on her so she moves back to New Hope as a new divorcee to take care of her mom. But once they see one another, they couldn’t deny they were always meant to be.

    Now, I summed this up pretty nicely but know that Garrett and Liv had a lot to work through.Learning to trust again, learning how to right their past wrongs, and most of all how to make this all work with thriving careers and a meddling family. I loved seeing them get there. It is what kept me reading.

    This book is great because it was surprise pregnancy done the right way. No miscommunication. They were honest with each other. The angst wasn’t too drawn out. Loved the role that the side characters played. All in all, a great read. It made me feel all warm and cozy. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025

    I absolutely LOVED this story and these characters.

    Garrett and Liv were high school sweethearts meant to conquer the world together, but, as it often happens, they went their separate ways. Garrett is now an NFL star, and Liv is a lawyer. Their lives moved on, but have they?

    Liv is in town for Garrett’s sister's wedding, and she tries to stay away from him. But it turns out they still want each other. And one night changes everything.

    They were close. As the book goes on, you see some snippets of what they had, and you hurt for what they lost. But the moment when she tells him she’s having his baby was absolutely beautiful.
    The best thing about it? Garrett instantly goes into Dad mode. It was perfect.

    Her whole pregnancy is a dream. There’s no limit to what he will do to be with her, care for her, help her… and touch her too. Because Garrett wants more. Liv was the one who got away, and he’s determined to get his girl this time.
    He’s impossible to resist. And they’re clearly soulmates; it’s just a matter of finding the right time. And that is now.

    He’s there for every single moment. And, well, you know what they say about pregnancy and hormones… they make for some interesting scenes.
    Everything fits into place slowly but surely, and it couldn’t be any other way. There’s too much love, and their connection is way too deep to fail.

    Their love felt inevitable. And life gave them both a second chance to get the one who was always meant to be, the one who holds half your soul and always will.

    I’m not sure if I’m reading these out of order, but it doesn’t really matter, because The Way We Score is the bomb!

    I’m a sucker for this kind of accidental pregnancy story because it gives the MMC a chance to shine. And Garrett dazzles as the man who regretted walking away from the love of his life for football. So when he has the chance to step up and be what Liv needs, he steps into the role he was meant for… lover, dad, and so much more.

    I love these two together!

    Well that was totally worth the wait!!! I’ve been wanting Garrets story since book 1 as knew there was more to him. I loved Liv and how these two were soul mates and just needed to get back to each other. This family is becoming one of my favourites and I love how they support each other. I love the humour that Tia is able to bring to each story. I love that we also get to find out more about Garretts friendship with Craig too which will just melt your heart. Another cracker now can’t wait for the next story after that epilogue!!!

    A lovely story about second chances. Garrett gets annoyed when his girlfriend Olivia decides on a College better suited to her dance career than the one he favours.
    After doing long distance he breaks it off. Several years later they are back for a wedding.
