Figuring out the heart is much easier when you have your head on straight. Fighting to Score is about listening to your head without drowning out your heart. For Shane and Chloe, young love has become adult confusion. What once felt perfect is quickly becoming a mess. Can two broken hearts find their way back to becoming one? Kamps puts it all on the line and scores a goal. ( )

Lisa B. Kamps triumphs with FIGHTING TO SCORE, the twelfth book in the Baltimore Banners series. I was excited that LISA B. Kamps continued Shane Masters’ and Chloe Hunter‘s story. She wrote their prequel in book 11.5, CHRISTMAS INTERFERENCE, which was originally released in the HOCKEY HOLIDAYS Anthology.

Shane and Chloe have a lot of history. Including a car accident that altered their lives forever. Five years have passed, and Shane and Chloe were reunited in book 11.5 CHRISTMAS INTERFERENCE. Now Chloe moves to Baltimore to see if they could have a future together. Chloe is struggling with thoughts that they have changed too much over those five years, and it’s up to Shane to prove that what they have is worthwhile.

I really like Shane. He has lived in guilt about the accident when it wasn’t his fault. Chloe has been living with a different guilt that she has kept secret. The two have concerns they need to settle and to rediscover one another.

I’m glad Shane and Chloe’s twin, Wyatt, resolve their issues. I loved the sled hockey aspect of the story. My son just played in a sled hockey charity event while I was reading this story, so it was pertinent for me. It’s a great sport who is significant for its players.

FIGHTING TO SCORE is a sweet and heartfelt second chance romance that fits in perfectly with the Baltimore Banners series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. ( )
