The Score: 3 (Off-Campus, 3)

Product Information

No, all the stories in this novel are fictional. Are they making a movie on The Score by Elle Kennedy? I refrained from posting some quotes because you guys should experience all the funnies yourself. And trust me, if you loved the previous books in the series, you will undoubtedly love this one as well.

Dean Heyward Di Laurentis is a force of nature. Everyone on the Briar campus knows his name. The guys want to be him, and the girls want to sleep with him. Dean is happy to oblige. As always, this story was the perfect blend of heart-warming romance and amusing, engaging dialogues, woven through a well-balanced plotline that entertains and touches our hearts in equal measure. I loved these characters, I loved how multi-layered they got as their story unfolded, and I never wanted to part with them. The premise of a notorious womanizer falling for the first woman to resist his charms might appear cliché at first, but there is nothing cliché about this story, there is nothing cliché about the way these characters are brought to life, and there is nothing cliché about this author’s extraordinary ability to deliver a story that always feels fresh, unique, and exciting. A great addition to the series and a top recommendation from me. During your commute: If you take public transportation or have a long commute, you may find it helpful to use that time to read. Allie Hayes is Hanna's best friend that just recently broke up with her long term boyfriend of 3 years. In fear of giving in when he comes calling again, Allie seeks an escape at Garrett's place. She knows all about Dean and his one and done ways and he may be hot but he's not for her. She's a nester. She has relationships not one night stands. But then a broken heart and some tequila lead to one of the hottest hookups of her life with none other than the sexy manwhore. She's determined to keep it in just friends zone after but Dean is determined to change her mind.I glance at my phone again, my wariness climbing like the ivy on the building behind me. Argh. What does he want to talk about? We said everything we needed to say last night. When I told him I was done before I stormed out of his frat house, I’d meant it.

I know there were a few readers who were disappointed that Sabrina wasn't the heroine for Dean but let me tell right now, I'm not sorry it wasn't Sabrina because Allie totally owned my heart from the get go. She's feisty, funny and like I said, she's unimpressed with Dean and she made him work for it. Dean and Allie simply worked together. Sure, Allie had her moments of guilt and indecision but the author explained those very well I sympathized with her. I knew where she was coming from and I could understand why she would feel that way. Elle Kennedy's The Deal was one of my favorite romances from 2015. I loved the progression of the relationship between the two leads and felt that the book handled the issue of past sexual assault really well compared to other books in the genre. Then came The Mistake . The romance in this story was not as compelling to me, but I appreciated how the author really put thought and effort into portraying the hero's struggle with familial obligations versus the pursuit of his dreams.

the only reason why i continued reading this series after clearly not really enjoying the first two books is because i am the type of masochist that, unfortunately, has to finish series i start, no matter how dreadful it is. i can dnf standalone books, but i sadly can’t dnf books in series (if i have read the first one) because i NEED to know what happens next 🤡 With shaky fingers, I pull up Hannah’s number. Two rings later and my best friend’s reassuring voice echoes on the line. “Hey, what’s up? You okay?” How much I enjoy reading Elle Kennedy ’s Off – Campus Series is indescribable. Gah! The sizzling chemistry and intense intimacy between the MCs is what makes those books so freaking awesome! They are just so damn good and funny! A perfect escape from boring reality – something I desperately needed this year. We learn how life has been pretty unfair to Allie and how things aren’t always what they seem where Dean is concerned. He lets people think he’s just a pretty face with a limited vocabulary, but he’s destined for Harvard Law and it’s due to his academic prowess and not his family’s bank account. I found myself comparing Dean to Grayson from The Friend Zone, which only made him that much more lovable to me.

There is NOTHING I would change about this book. We have humor, steam, a bit of (mature) drama, just everything. The Score is a fantastic third installment in the Off-Campus series. Looking forward to more from Elle Kennedy! Dean Di Laurentis is in my blood now. I didn’t expect the intense sexual chemistry between us, but it’s here, and it’s addictive, and I don’t know how I can ever give it up.”So a tantalising game of cat-and-mouse begins between two people who have very little in common at first, but the more they get to know about one another, the more they realise that appearances can be deceiving. Allie’s feisty personality and blind ambition are no match for her selfless heart, and she soon discovers that Dean’s confident, well-adjusted façade hides a vulnerable young man whose unconditional love can also become his greatest downfall. When we first met Allie as Hannah’s roommate, it was hard not to fall a little bit in love with her. She was the best friend that Hannah needed. She protected her at parties, she pushed her to try new things, and most importantly, she was there for Hannah when she needed her. Allie continues to show those qualities in this book, only this time, she’s pushing and protecting herself. If you love sports romance, mature NA, the above mentioned "formula" and haven't read this series yet? You are mos def missing out.
