Delayed Penalty: The Scoring Series: A Seattle Sockeyes Hockey Romance (Sports Romance)

Delayed Penalty is the seventh book in Jami Davenport's Scoring series and it was a good one. Jasper (Caveman) Flint and his high school sweetheart, Blaire, married and then subsequently divorced when their passions, his for hockey and hers for horses, began to drive them apart. There were other issues as well, but going their separate ways was the decision made. Six years after their divorce should have been final, Blaire shows up in Seattle asking Jasper to sign the divorce papers as they didn't get filed as they should have. When Blaire is faced with a zero balance in her bank account and no way to leave Seattle, she calls the only person she knows in town - her soon-to-be ex husband. Jasper helps her begin to pick up the pieces and Blaire begins to learn that she has more skills, and enjoys more things, than just horses. The question is, will all of this time they are spending together bring them back together and remind them of why they worked in the first place? There was so much to enjoy about this book! I loved that we got to visit with other characters from this series (and previous books) and the romance that rekindled between Blaire and Jasper was so wonderful. Sometimes you have to grow, change and evolve to get to the place (or back to the place) where you belong.

I enjoyed this book. Jasper and Blaire's story is heavy on the feels, emotions and heartstring tugging. I liked these two and witnessing their growth as individuals and as a couple was very moving. Another sold entry for this great series. I am freely posting a volitional review.

Second chance. Jasper is living large. He’s a great hockey player and women are no problem either. He and Blair were high school sweethearts that couldn’t make it work but he’s totally surprised when she shows up to tell him their divorce wasn’t finalized. But their attraction is still there and both have grown up. I love second chance romances we’re both parties have learned to compromise (not give in) and can build a better relationship for the future. Jasper and Blair are both strong and independent. When they manage to overcome their issues they stand a chance. Great story.
