The Score by Elle Kennedy Review
5 Smooches
Synopsis
He knows how to score, on and off the ice
Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn’t have the first clue about what she’s going to do after college. To make matters worse, she’s nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di-Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won’t include the king of one-night stands.
It’ll take more than flashy moves to win her over
Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition, girls…he’s a ladies man, all right, and he’s yet to meet a woman who’s immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world—and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It’s not over until he says it’s over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it’s time to stop focusing on scoring…and shoot for love.
Review
‘I hope to God that Dean quits texting me when I get back. If he doesn’t, there’s a good chance I might orgasm at the table.’
This series from the start has become one of my go to New Adult recommendations to anyone who ask and with each new book the trend continues. The Score is equal parts hilarious, hot and enough angst to keep my heart racing. I couldn’t put it down and desperately needed to see how it all ended.
‘Premise I: Dean Di Laurentis is a phenomenal lay. Premise II: He wants to have sex with me again. Premise III: The idea of having sex with him turns me on. Conclusion: I should have sex with Dean.’
These is something about Dean that just does it for me. To be fair he is a bit of a spoiled douche whose good looks, popularity and money have made life way too easy for him. But he is also loyal and fun and even when my brain would tall me not to like him, my heart could not help but fall.
Allie is fresh out of a long term relationship and with a broken heart she isn’t looking for more. But Dean is impossible to resist and when they share one passionate night everything changes. Dean the king of one night stands wants more but Allie isn’t prepared to give in. But can they be friends with secret benefits and things not get complicated?
“Your dick. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.” “Damn right it is. I told you I’ve got a great cock.”
So much I was not expecting happened in this book and I honestly loved it all. Allie is the kind of heroine that is easy to love and we all admire to be like. She is strong willed and determined to do what’s right even when it is the hard choice. Falling for Dean is easy but loving him is hard. When the world falls around him he he has a hard time figuring it all out and while supporting him she refuses to let him pull her down. I desperately loved her and their story. I laughed and cried and in the end I was ready to read it all again!
