The Score by Elle Kennedy
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.
Giselle’s Review:
Looking for New Adult at its finest? Well, this book-no, this series is IT, but lets talk about Allie Hayes and Dean Di- Laurentis.
Well for one, I am absolutely in love with the BOTH of them. Allie is the definition of a new adult (someone who is basically just trying to get their life together and figure out what they want) ((a.k.a. ME!!!). Allie’s character was easy to relate to and seeing her grow and gain independence throughout the novel was just one thing I loved about this book.
Readers also see Dean go through one heck of a change; from a guy who refuses to settle down and is a total wild card to a total sweetie who can’t stop thinking about the blonde named Allie.
It sounds like your basic NA formula but, like she always does, Elle Kennedy makes it so much more!!
The characters (especially Dean) are fun, sexy, charming, and worth all of your time. <3
I can’t praise Elle’s writing enough, so just take my word for it: READ THIS BOOK!!
