About this ebook

Sometimes scoring off the ice leads to the greatest rewards.

I’ve had only one goal in life since I first strapped on a pair of skates—make America’s pro hockey league.

I left Denmark. I made it to the top. Now, I’m determined to be the best. No distractions. I eat, sleep, and breathe hockey. 

Until my birthday when my teammates convince me to live a little.

But living a little takes on a whole new meaning when less than a year later I’m confronted with a crying baby on my doorstep, drooling on a note that declares he’s mine. 

Suddenly, I'm a single dad in way over my head. 

There is no playbook for situations like this. 

Luckily, I have Paisley.

My gorgeous neighbor, my long-time crush, and now—my savior.

She’s there any time I need her.

Helping. Guiding. Gazing at me with those green eyes that make me feel capable of this after all.

With her at my side, I’m quickly learning there’s more to life than winning a hockey game.

Ratings and reviews

I became a Ice Knights fan after book one in this series. Mikah is the absolute sweetest. He's all the swoon. I loved his quiet intensity and gentle nature. I seriously can't handle how in love with him I am. Paisley is amazing. I loved how she jumped in with both feet to help a stranger and how she completed Mikah and Angelo's new little family. This whole book made me full of happy sighs. It's light and hopeful. I kind of wanted a little more angst but I still enjoyed this book so much. I can't wait to have more Ice Knights in my life. They might just be my new favorite hockey team!!

Stacey Lynn lights the lamp with Scoring Off the Ice (Ice Kings #2). In this story, hockey player Mikah Lutzgo has a son he didn’t know about left on his doorstep. He gets much-needed help from his neighbor, Paisley. This novel takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is suitable for adult readers. Scoring Off the Ice is a sweet and heartfelt story. Paisley and Mikah are both young and have admired each other from afar, until Paisley finds a crying baby left in front of his door across the hallway. They get to know each other as Paisley helps Mikah with his infant son, Angelo. They are both likeable characters. Paisley is studying to become a teacher and is great with kids. She comes from a loving family. Mikah on the other hand, left Denmark and moved to America at a young age. He did not have the best relationship with his parents. His family are his teammates. I like how Paisley and Mikah both grow throughout the novel. Stacey Lynn does a fantastic job with this story. It is skillfully written and hard to put down. The characters have interesting challenges and controversies to face. I like that the Taylor brother’s and Kate from Playing to Win (Ice Kings, #1) played a role in this story. I also appreciated the Rough Riders series tie in. I recommend this book to people who enjoy sports romances. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

The story was wondeful. The editing not so much. I don't remember which page but WAY was used instead of WEIGH. That was only one glaringly obvious editing miss. I just had to sort of "fill things in" as needed while reading. This is exactly why I don't BUY books anymore. I'm not wasting money on a book an author doesn't have enough pride to double or triple check themselves and then have a professional editor double and triple check. It's almost like someone doesn't actually read the manuscript before publishing. It's frustrating and depressing that this is the level our literature has stooped to. Where is your pride? Or is it a serious lack of education? At least this book was over 200 pages. In my opinion, a "book" less than 200 pages long is not worth investing the time to read.
