It was easy to understand why Sabrina was so guarded. It’s frustrating and she’s is lucky that Tucker is such a patient and understanding guy. Prior to reading the book, there had been a lot of comments on Sabrina’s coldness and how long it took her to truly let down her walls. The chemistry between them is evident, but the sudden addition to their lives complicates things a bit. He knows that the two of them could be something great together, but proving that to her is not an easy feat. On top of that, he has Sabrina to think about. Does he go back to his mother in their small Texan town, or does he stay in Boston. He knows he has no chance of going pro after college, so with graduation looming, Tucker is at a crossroad of deciding not just what he wants to do, but where he wants to be. On top of that, we also explore the other challenges he faces in life. At the end of The Score we know what he’d be facing in this book, and seeing the build-up to that reveal was so much fun to read about. He’s thoughtful, patient, kind, and incredibly loyal. In The Goal, we see that he is exactly that. The one you’d most likely turn to if you were in a tricky situation. He appeared as the quiet and thoughtful member of the group.

The problem is, Sabrina’s heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes.

On the ice, he’s fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star.

One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.īut the game just got a whole lot more complicated… Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight.
