Outscored

Outscored by Aven Ellis

One bubbly seasonal decorator. One fiery hockey captain. And a wagon full of gnomes who play matchmaker better than Cupid …
When seasonal stylist Whitney Green heads to a Denver flea market to find gnomes for a client’s upcoming party, she thinks she has hit the jackpot when she discovers a slew of them.
Little does she know that gnomes aren’t going to be the only thing she picks up that Saturday.
When fate throws Whitney and hockey superstar Gavin Tremblay together, she finds herself questioning her policy of staying on the bench when it comes to romance. She came to the Rockies to escape the pain of a broken heart. Not to date. Especially when she knows she is due to return to Seattle in four months and she can’t figure out what went wrong in her last relationship …
The captain isn’t looking for love, either. Battered and bruised by not only a broken romance but a devastating leg injury, he’s focused on getting his game back. The last time he trusted his heart it gutted him. He refuses to go down that path again.
But the chemistry between Gavin and Whitney is too hot to deny and falling in love is the only option. However, when personal fears come to the surface and cause problems between them, can a relationship prevail? Or will defense outscore offense in this game of love?
Outscored is a laugh out loud, swoony romance with a good-boy hero and a hilarious heroine. Flamingos, gnomes, and a happily ever after are guaranteed in this book.**

Thank you to the author for sending the book to me in exchange for an honest review. 

Whitney is in Boulder for work, just for a year to help set up a new office with her decorating company. She wasn't looking for any romantic relationships, her last relationship was a year ago and she's not sure she trusts herself with feelings. I mean she thought that her boyfriend was going to propose and they were going to live happily ever after. Now she meets Gavin when shes at a farmers market dragging around a wagon full of gnomes, wearing some of her downtime clothing and just in general not looking for anything but things for her clients.

Meeting Gavin stirred up feelings in her but at the end of their day he didn't ask for her number so maybe all the feelings are one-sided. Then he friends her on Connectivity and so their story really begins. 

I can tell you this book gave me ALL the feels. I loved reading about Whitney and Gavin. They have their ups and downs but it really was a beautiful love story from start to finish.  I love the way Aven writes she never disappoints me, the stories are always beautiful and there is always a happily ever after.
