Scoring Chance –When a hockey player is in a bar after a game.Just kidding. I’m Rhett Crawford. I’m a player, not a PLAYER. I’m not even on the official Miners roster. Yet. You see, the NHL only allows you to have two goalies. That leaves me in the stands at every home game and twiddling my thumbs when the team is away just biding my time. Do I wish I were on the ice with the guys? Hell yeah, but … were on the ice with the guys? Hell yeah, but in the meantime, I’m going to take it as a chance to learn as much as I can.
Eden Snow is a distraction I wasn’t counting on. One I can’t ignore. The kind with plump juicy lips and doe eyes the color of chocolate. The problem? My team captain told me she’s off-limits.
Eden is forbidden fruit.
The kind you need to sink your teeth into.
Bite after delicious bite.
Eden may not know it yet, but I’m about to tempt her.
I just hope she’ll take a shot on me.

Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five Stars
Temptation at its finest. Never dangle a fruit in front of a starving man. I enjoyed every page if this book. I’ve never watched hockey but I can understand the thrill. Rhett and Eden are amazing characters. I felt their fun and loving natures through the pages. You could feel the energy and excitement coming from this story in waves. I liked how confident and open Rhett was. I couldn’t get enough! The author did amazing with this story. Every character had a reason and flowed together nicely. I like the attention to detail and the depth the characters had. I love stories that get you to the point. Stories that give you the right amount of background but doesn’t let it crowd the present. This was sweet and to the point. Great job!
Scoring Chance : A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin is the first book I have had the privilege to read by this author but I can guarantee it will not be the last. I have added the first two books to my to be read list. I love backstories but this can be read as a standalone.
Eden and Rhett are amazing together, they instantly seemed like they were the others missing piece no matter how much they tried to deny it, especially Eden.
There are so many things I enjoyed about this book, but I think my favorite was the friendship between the women. There was no jealousy, fighting or talking about each other behind someones back. I wish there was more of that in both real life and in books.
I will be keeping up with this series, if I’m this invested after one novella, imagine how I’m going to feel once I get caught up.
Scoring Chance is a novella in the Mile High Miners series by Lane Martin. This is my first novella by this author.
This novella focuses on Rhett Crawford who is the goalie for the Mile High Miners Hockey Team. His life is pretty simple until he meets Eden Snow who is a live in Nanny for the team. But sparks fly between the two even though Rhett is warned to stay away from her.
I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more by this author.
It’s really short but it has a lot of detail and keeps you interested.
*****5 stars*****
Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin
This novella surprised me in so many ways. I usually end up disappointed by novellas because I feel like the story and characters aren’t developed enough in such short reads. I also don’t really go for sports themed books, and honestly I know very little about hockey. Scoring Chance did surprise me though. The storyline and characters were developed well and I don’t feel like I even read a novella. It was a quick, easy, short read, but it was written so well that it was like a full length novel. I didn’t feel my usual novella frustration when the story seems to cut off too soon or when I don’t feel like I know or even care about the characters. I really enjoyed this story. I also totally “got” the hockey references and was turned off by the sports theme of the book at all. It was my first time reading anything by Lane Martin, but I’m looking forward to reading more by her.
Scoring Chance is a Mile High Miners Novella. I haven’t read any other books by this author so this was a new reading experience for me.
The characters draw you into the story right away. There are so many emotions pack into this book that it feels like a full-length novel. One of the great things about this story is that there isn’t a bunch of extraneous detail to sift through. The story moves quickly and keeps the focus where it needs to be. It is a quick, easy, and entertaining read.
Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin tells of the slow building romance between Eden, a college student who has had a tough upbringing and Rhett, an Ice Hockey player who has faced a great deal of loss. They get off to a shaky start after a chance encounter at the home of one of Rhett’s teammates.
I really enjoyed this novella, I loved how the author slowly reveals secrets from the characters pasts and it doesn’t feel too rushed as some novellas can. The relationships had time to grow organically and they had to work for their HEA. I also liked learning about the supporting characters, and I am looking forward to reading Niko’s story next.
I absolutely adored this novella by Lane Martin! Who doesn’t love a well written sports romance??? It definitely left me wanting more! I loved getting to know Eden and Rhett. They are wonderful, well developed characters with a great bunch of supporting characters that make this short, steamy story feel like a full novel! I laughed, cried, and had all the feels while reading Scoring Chance. This was my first read by this author but it definitely will not be my last!
Scoring Chance is a Mile High Miners novella by Lane Martin. I have to admit I am not a big sports romance lover but this fast-paced enjoyable read had me wanting more. Rhett Crawford and Eden Snow both have a past that you will have you turning the pages and their instant connection was sizzling. Plus when a teammate tells you that someone is “forbidden fruit” you know that is just going to make you what that person a little bit more.
Lane Martin’s writing was great just the right amount of details to get you hooked but not too many to draw things out. I have to know more about the other characters in this world; please let there be more books.
Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin was a great and quick contemporary sports read that left me wishing for more! It is my first read by the writer so I went looking for what else she has written and whether there is a Mile High Miners series (as I am sure all of us who read this novella are asking ourselves)!
Scoring Chance gives us Eden Snow and Rhett Crawford – Eden whose past is a mystery and keeps us guessing for a while, and Rhett who is a backup goalie for NHL Mile High Miners Hockey Team. I loved the opening to the story as it made me sit up and go…what is going on here???!!! The story also had great secondary characters who all deserve their own stories (hint, hint Ms Martin)! The writer has given us a story that takes us on a rollercoaster ride with slaying our fears and overcoming a childhood that no child deserves to live … I hope that this is not the last time the writer takes us to the Mile High Miners in Colorado and that she will give us more than ‘just’ novellas!
Eden has goals in mind, and those goals include working hard and doing everything possible to make her life a better one than she’s been dealt with. Having been through a lot as a kid, her world turned upside down she wants to pay it forward and do good in the world. She has a plan, but all that changes when she’s summoned to meet someone about a job. What she doesn’t expect as her world changes again are to meet Rhett.
Rhett lives and breathes hockey. The sport saved him when his world fell apart. He had the one person he could count on ripped from him and he had to learn how to live again. He was angry at the world and no longer understood things. He’s living his dream and nothing can stop him. What he doesn’t expect is to meet Eden and have everything changed all over again for him.
In the end, they have a lot of ups and downs. I loved their love story! it was sweet, chaotic, hot, and one of a kind. Its a love story about compassion and understanding and growing. A fabulous read that makes you swoon!
This was a fast paced, information packed book. I loved following Rhett and Eden. We get to see two people on opposite sides of the emotion spectrum, both crave love but one denies it and thinks they aren’t good enough and the other uses it express all feelings in one.
Eden didnt have the best life and is given a fresh start as a surprise.
Rhett gets an odd injury and needs to sleep at his captains house until he is better. Fireworks ezplode between these 2 and it was a ride to the end but so worth it. Cant wait for more in this series .
Scoring Chance is a Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin. It is the first book I have read by her as well as in the series, but I would read more. The book was very quick, short and to the point. However, it had enough details in it, that I really felt like I got to know the characters and it was a full story. There are several supporting characters that were developed, and at first it was hard to keep track. Some times the players were called by first name, some times last name and sometimes nick names. This made it hard to keep track at first, but it wasn’t too bad. I like that they mystery of Eden’s past was kept until toward the end of the book. We knew there was a questionable history, and a rough one, but not the details. That kept me engaged wanting to know more.
Rhett is a hockey player recently signed onto the NHL as a goalie, but he isn’t on the official roster. The team is only allowed 2, and he is the backup. This means he attends all the games, but has to sit in the stands with the fans. Eden is living in the apartment above Rhett’s team captain’s house. She had no plans to entertain boys, focused on finishing school. Before they even met, Eden was put off limits and Rhett was warned to stay away from her. But he couldn’t plan for or prevent the instant attraction he and Eden had. Their chemistry was off the charts and made it very hard for them both to keep their promises. Will they listen to their hearts or their heads?
Scoring Chance by Lane Martin is a novella. In the Mile High Miners series. I really enjoyed this novella. Usually I have a hard time because in novellas the story is so short it can be difficult to connect with the character. It was not the case Scoring Chance. Martin gives you enough backstory for you to connect and keeps you interested in the story.
The story revolves around Rhett Crawford and Eden Snow. Rhett is the teams new goalie and Eden snow is the teams captains live-in nanny. The moment Rhett sees Eden he has to get to know her. Eden and Rhett both come from troubled adolescent years. I don’t want to say too much more and give away too much of the story. This novella is definitely worth reading.
I seriously freaking love this book! I am such a huge nerd for sports jocks and the romances that can come from them so when I saw this gorgeous cover and the idea that it was a hockey alpha type read, i scooped it up without a single second thought. I am so glad that I did too!
In Scoring Chance we meet the Mile High Miners, a hockey team full of sexy and swoony men. This book focused on Rhett Crawford, one of the team’s goalies. Things become extra delectable when he meets Eden Snow, the teams captains live in nanny. This of course would seemingly make her seem completely off limits to Rhett, but temptation is a tricky little bugger. I loved how this book unfolded, and that it did so with a fast and smooth read. It is a novella type length so you would expect to set aside time to read this fab gem in one sitting if you are anything like myself. I couldn’t get enough of these two and I cannot wait until I get my hands on the next novel of the Mile High Miners!
Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin is my first book and it will not be my last. Martin does an amazing job of making her characters pop off the page. They are down to earth and you can see yourself being with the characters in the book. Her plot line kept my interest throughout the whole book. This story is about Rhett and Eden. Rhett is trying to make his way into the NHL. When Eden came into the picture that was a distraction that Rhett was not wanting right now. There is something else about Eden. It drives Rhett crazy. You will have to read the story to find out what Rhett does about Eden.
When Eden first entered into the world of hockey, it wasn’t her first brush with the ice. She is career focused and not looking for any distractions.
Enter Rhett Crawford, goalie for the Miner’s. He is looking for his big break to be able to play in his first NHL game and not looking for anything serious…until Eden.
Both of them had hardships in their youth that makes them feel unworthy of love. Both of them are hard headed and have walls that they would rather not have broken down for fear of being hurt. Can two hard headed individuals be together, break down barriers and achieve their dreams?
Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miner’s Novella by Lane Martin is a well put together sports romance. Both of the main characters do have a lot of hang ups, but none of their own doing. Though they seem to get in their own way, Eden more so than Rhett, they way the story is told makes us all believe that anything is possible when you believe in the power of love.
Scoring Chance by Lane Martin is a novella in the Mile High Miners series. This is the first book in the series and is a brilliant way to draw you into it.
I absolutely loved Rhett and Eden. They each had their flaws that made them the perfect compliment for each other.
Although this book is a novella it is a full length story and it has all the details and the development of a longer book. Lane Martin isn’t an author I am familiar with however after reading this book I will definitely be reading the rest of the series and any other work by this author.
Scoring Chance: A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin is an adorable short love story. Rhett Crawford, or Ford as his teammates call him, is a third string goalie on the Miners. Eden Snow becomes “employed” by the Miners team captain. A run in at the captain’s house leaves Rhett in awe of Eden, but the captain has warned Rhett that she is forbidden fruit. Eden has a damaged past that keeps her guarded and not capable of love, or so she thought.
This novella was a quick afternoon read. I loved the way that the author was able to portray the strong bond between the team mates and their significant others. It seemed like a tight knit family that only wanted the best for each other. The way that Rhett protected and wanted Eden was adorable, and I couldn’t help but root for them through the whole story. I really enjoyed Lane Martin’s work and look forward to future work.
Hockey meets romance and Lane does an amazing job. This book is filled with sports and romance and is very detailed for a short story. I love the way this book was portrayed alot different to other romance /sports books. I loved the development of the characters in this book.
Scoring Chance was a quick, easy, happy read! I loved how Eden went from poor and working a few jobs, going to school to try to better herself to having an easy life with amazing people around her helping her succeed!
Rhett knows Eden is like a piece of forbidden fruit to not be touched but he can’t get her out of his head.
Both Eden and Rhett have a dark past that is hard for them to deal with. Being Rhett is a hockey player, Eden knows she can never be in the stands to cheer him on because of her past.
This book was a great read and I loved how the story unfolded. I absolutely loved the characters and cannot wait for more from this author.
