Scored (Nashville Grizzlies, #2) by Carly Marie

Ok, I am not gonna lie, I loved this story but dang it was so freaking slow going.

Spoilers ahead, be forewarned

When I read a Carly Marie book, I am usually done in one day. This one took me 11 days to finish. And I was so excited for this one, after seeing these two in the previous books.

So in here we have Yuri, who is a goalie for the Nashville Grizzlies hockey team. He is someone who knows he is a Daddy Dom/Caretaker Dom and his best friend Igor, who is older than he is and also is a goalie who is transitioning to being a goalie coach (I think that is what he is, I am not hip on sports stuff) and also has hip surgery while its the off season.

So anyways, Yuri stays home over the summer to take care of his bestie and for some reason out of the blue, starts getting turned on by taking care of him. But in a twist, Igor is straight.

And poor Igor also is struck by the lust bug and starts getting turned on by a man, who is also his best friend.

These two dingdongs spend the first 70% doing nothing at all. I am not exaggerating. It was just about Igor healing and Yuri being frustrated at Igor not doing as he was told. Eventually Igor starts figuring out that not only is he not straight, but he also is apparently a bratty submissive. So from 70%-85% is learning how to sub and convincing Yuri that he is not straight. Then we around 85% we finally get some emotionally satisfying scenes.

I am not sure why, but I did not feel the emotional connection between these two. I really did enjoy seeing Seth and all the others from the previous books, but I did not like how much I know about the former nervous guy who will be the mc in the next book. He went from a nervous wreck to being cool and collected and I was like huh? I know that it will be due to his being with the other mc from the next book but I felt it was almost spoiling the next story.
