Scoring Chance: Bainbridge Hockey #1 Kindle Edition
Will
Freshman year is going to be my year.
I’m no longer the ugly duckling I used to be. Thanks to a late growth spurt and a nasty puck to the face that knocked my buck teeth right out of my head, I no longer resemble the awkward kid I once was.
As Bainbridge Hockey’s newest center, I’m gonna enjoy every bit of attention the ladies of Bainbridge want to give me.
But I soon find out that looking the part is only half the battle. And if I want to lose my virginity before I make it to the big leagues, I’m going to need to learn the fine art of dating. Or at least how to kiss without being compared to a dying jellyfish. So that means I need help.
But they don’t make tutors for dating. Do they?
Mel
Senior year is off to a rough start.
One of my best friends has moved on to grad school, and my other best friend spends all her free time with her boyfriend.
And my boyfriend? Oh, he’s a lying, cheating jerk. I learned that the hard way when I caught him in bed with his wife.
Looking back, it’s clear that my ex lied about everything and I wasted almost a year of my life with him. Dating a professor wasn’t my smartest move, but I’m wiser now, and I’ve made a promise to myself: no more relationships.
So when my friends surprise me at the charity bachelor auction and buy me a date with a hot young hockey player, I’m less than thrilled. I mean, he’s nice to look at, but I’m not in the market for anything more than a hookup.
When our date ends in disaster, the last thing I expect is for Will to ask me for a favor. And what I really don’t expect is to say yes.
Scoring Chance, the first STANDALONE in the Bainbridge University Hockey Series, is a dual POV, full-length novel featuring a feisty heroine and a virgin hero. Will’s got a lot to learn about love, and Mel’s got a thing or two to learn about trust.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWhat a wonderful beginning to a new hockey series by Andy Burns! I loved both Mel and Will. Their dynamic was obvious and amazing from the very beginning!
Can’t wait for the next book!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWill is adorable. Total golden retriever and made me laugh out loud. Mel is a kickass FMC - strong, relatable, and you want to be her friend. Loved the fake dating, romance/intimacy lessons, inexperienced MMC trope. Great found family vibes among the team as well. Can’t wait to see where else this series goes.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseMel & Will are awesome individuals & an awesome couple! I read the book in a few short hours. Andi's books always keep me wanting more. When does your next book come out?
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023Format: KindleFirst time reading this author. I saw virgin hero and quickly downloaded from KU.
Writing was OK. Lots of editing errors though.
Loved the hero. He’s 20 years old and just starting his freshman year of college. He’s completely innocent and I loved that! The heroine is finishing college, so they’re at two different stages in life. I liked the heroine, but she was definitely frustrating at times.
Likable secondary characters. Will probably check out their books (if I remember).
- Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2024Format: KindleI can sum up this book in two words: refreshing and cute. Not the words that I usually use to describe a hockey romance, but they definitely fit here.
Will is a 20-year old college freshman and one of the newest members of the Bainbridge hockey team. His goals for this year? Let loose and live a little, and lose his V-card while he's at it. When one of his team mate's set him up with Mel during a fundraising auction, it doesn't go well at first, but then these two realize that pretending to date could help both of them. Will has a lot to learn and Mel needs to escape her past, so it's really a win-win, just as long as they don't let real feelings get in their way.
This is the first book in this series, but I actually started the series with book two, and this is one of those instances where I'm kind of glad that I did. There were moments in this book that just meant more to me since I know where that story is going. As for Will and Mel...Will is absolutely adorable in his awkwardness and it was so refreshing to see a hockey player that wasn't the brooding alpha for a change. I enjoyed watching Will gain his confidence and discover himself, and I loved Mel for teaching him all the ways to be the best boyfriend.
There is plenty of fun to be had with this hockey team and I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2024Format: KindleMel is everyone’s friend because she’s honest to a fault but that’s why they love her. Will is new to college as well as a lot of other things but he is willing to try anything as long as she helps him. They seem like the least likely pair but together they are perfect. Can’t wait to see what happens with Van.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2024Format: KindleAnother series I read out of order, and while I really don't like to do this, it was actually nice that I had met Josie and Van before this couple.
I absolutely love that Will was awkward and a bundle of energy. So fun to have him fall first and fight for Mel, and work to make himself irreplaceable in her life.
The team banter and comraderie is entertaining and easy to enjoy.
I recommend this series, and do suggest reading in order.
Really can't wait for book 3!!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2023Format: KindleMel is done with dating. She learned her lesson when she dated the ten plus years older her than professor of Bainbridge who swore he was divorced from his wife was most definitely not divorced. She thought this guy was different, but she ignored the warnings and now she is miserable and doesn't trust herself to make any good decisions when it comes to love. What she isn't prepared for though is to be swept up by sweet Will. Will has finally escaped home with his helicopter parents and has a lot of socializing to make up for. A bit too sheltered, he plans to go out and enjoy college. While of course playing hockey and keeping up with his grades. But he soon realizes just how awkward he can be around girls and his confidence is blown to smithereens after one spectacularly failed hook up. He needs help. And lucky for him he meets Mel. Sure, their first date (set up by a friend who thought he was helping) is a disaster, but Will takes a chance and asks Mel to teach him how to date girls. And Mel, well she takes him up on it. Especially when her ex is reaching stalking levels. They'll fake a relationship and help one another out. But it's only a matter of time between the lines blur of what is fake and what is real. And I mean how can it not? Will and Mel have such chemistry! These two were so sweet and right for one another. This was such a fun story. And with so many of the other hockey players making an appearance, it seems Will and Mel aren't the only ones with stories to tell. I can't wait to find out what happens next with everyone! Looks like a great start to this series and I can't wait for the rest.

Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWill is really inexperienced. Mel is about to finish college. They start fake dating but they are meant to be together. nice story
- Debra McDonaldReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars New beginnings
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWill- freshman hockey player, is super nervous around females, very sheltered and very hockey orientated.
Mel- soon to finish college, works at Drip coffee shop, is coming out of a bad/ forbidden relationship with a professor who ends up stalking her.
After Mel's friend Ollie sets these two up a disastrous date follows. I couldn't stop laughing although I felt sorry for Will. Will begs Mel to help him find his way through the dating world and they end up falling for one another. It's not all plain sailing but these two are amazing together and this book is a total must read.
