Pointe, Shoots, and Scores

By Carolyn Miller

Opposites can attract, but can they dance?

For as long as she can remember Bailey Donovan has loved dance, especially ballet. When her dance studio faces the risk of closure, she takes a God-given miracle of a gig training a complete non-dancer for a TV show. Only problem is, he's a real grump to her sunshine, and for an athlete, seems to be lacking all the moves. Or does he?

Luc Blanchard has sworn off wine, women, and definitely dancing as it sure doesn't fit his macho image. He loves hockey, God, and his family, with no time for more, until an unexpected promotion sees him forced to swallow his pride for the sake of his team.

Sparks soon fly as these two opposites spend time together, and TV ratings push for their onscreen partnership to make a fake relationship real. But as they discover a certain magic under the spotlight, will issues from the past ever let them truly soar?

Pointe, Shoots, and Scores is the third book in the Northwest Ice Christian hockey romance series, can be read as a standalone, and is perfect for fans of banter-laden romance with hope, heart and humor.

Customer Reviews

ice hockey and ballroom dancing

I've mostly read Carolyn Miller's historical fiction so this is a bit new but still lovely and fun, just like her historicals. I loved the intensity and adrenaline of the hockey ring and also loved the energy and glitz of a celebrity dance show. Luc's circle of hockey-playing, God-fearing Bible study buddies is absolutely delightful; I definitely need to read the first two books in the series to get to know a few of them better. Luc and his generous, honorable, and steadfast heart totally won me over. Though dragged onto the dance show practically by force, he made the most of it and learned to enjoy dancing despite his insecurities and near disasters. Bailey's patient, hard-working attitude made her a great heroine. This book was more than just a hockey playing learning to dance though. The latter half of the book delved into prejudices within the body of Christ, healthy ways to address interpersonal problems, and how to remove the shackles of the past through faith and acceptance of love. It's a good beach read. I can't wait to read more in the series! I received a complimentary copy courtesy of the author and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
