The Rebound is the fourth book in the Looking to Score series. This book is told from dual points of view from Saint and Kinley.
Saint is told by his hockey manager he needs to stop his parting ways and keep his name out of the tabloids. Kinley is 7 months pregnant and moving into a new apartment building that her brother is also in. They meet when Saint offers to help Kinley carry some heavy boxes.
They quickly become friends. Saint doesn't realize that his rival is Kinley's brother. When Saint and Kinley find out that her brother is not his favorite person how will it affect their friendship? How will Kinley take it when her brother tells her how Saint is? Will their friendship grow apart or will they grow stronger together? What happens when Kinley has her baby?
I really enjoyed this book. I loved getting to know Saint and Kinley and see how they both grew on their own, as well as together.

I love these books by Kendall Ryan. This was an instalove story between Saint & Kinley. He is immediately struck by her, but when her brother finds out it hits the fan. I loved that he never gave up on her. He needed her friendship.
This one was written differently. This is set during the break of the season so we didn’t have hockey games. I was caught so caught up that yesterday I didn’t even realize how much time had passed, and that I was 80 percent in at midnight. I recommend this was one. It was lighthearted and funny.

I have to say this one might be my favourite of the whole series!
Admittedly i am a huge sucker for pregnancy in books so i knew i was going to love it but wow Saint really set the bar high.
Saint and Kinley's relationship is smooth and easy, they get along so well and Saint is literally a saint. He steps up without even realising it.
Their whole relationship just blossomed so beautifully it was so easy to read about them.
I loved seeing the previous characters too!
Looking forward for what is to come next!

The Rebound is a swoonworthy standalone addition to the Looking to Score series. It is well written with loveable characters that are complex and realistic. Saint and Kinley have a cute story with little drama and a heartwarming storyline.

Saint is one wrong move away from being suspended from his hockey team. He needs to lay low and stay out of the tabloids for a bit. Then he meets Kinley. She is new to the area, lives in his building and pregnant.
Throughout the series, Saint has been the player, the bad boy, the one who you never expected to settle down. I loved in this book getting to see a different side to him. He has actually caring, protective and super sweet.
The chemistry between Saint and Kinley is off the charts from the moment they meet. Even when constantly friend zoned by Kinley, Saint didn’t give up. He continued to be there for her and was someone she could lean on. At least, someone beside her brother.
This story was low angst, low drama and well just a cute story.
If you’re looking for a single parent, reformed bad boy, hockey romance this is one to check out.

I really wanted to love this book, as the premise was good and I really liked The Rival. I liked both of the main characters and thought that it was realistic conflict.
Some things that frustrated me though were the lack of details and information that were provided.
We never found out how old either main character was. Nor did we know how far along Kinley was until 56% of the way in, seems like something we could’ve known in the beginning to get an idea of time lapsing.
And at 84% we randomly learn that her brother lived down the hall from Saint and kinley the whole time, how did he never run into them together?
I also thought it was lacking scenes that the reader could’ve benefited from. Including her learning Saint’s first name (which by the way was never mentioned in the whole book aside from a tabloid headline, I thought that was odd). Spoiler: we also didn’t get to see Saint meeting the baby for the first time after being there for the birth. I feel like that would’ve been an emotional touching moment to read.

This was just what I needed. It was a quick, sweet, enjoyable friends to lovers romance with very little drama.
While I’m sad to see the Looking to Score series end, it finished with such a wonderful, heartwarming read. It left me with a giant smile on my face as I swooned over the playboy being tamed.
Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.
