Review

5 “Baby Doll” Stars!

Wow! Elle Kennedy has done it again! The Score is the third book in her Off Campus Series and another FIVE STAR read!! I loved both The Deal and The Mistake so it should be no surprise that I loved The Score just as much!

On the outside Allie and Dean seem like opposites. She likes being in a relationship and is not into casual sex. Dean is known for his wild, player ways and considered a manwhore by everyone.

I like to fuck. I fuck a lot. So sue me.

He does not do relationships and rarely goes for seconds. This all changes after one night with Allie.

Allie is fresh out of a relationship with her longtime boyfriend. The last thing on her mind is hooking up with someone. She doesn’t do one-night stands. Until she does. Now, Allie has gotten under Dean’s skin and he can’t seem to shake her. He is constantly thinking about her and has no desire to hook-up with anyone else.

Apparently Little Dean isn’t going to cooperate unless I give him what he wants. And what he wants, unfortunately, is not Kelly, Michelle and Kelly’s twin sister.
It’s Allie Hayes.

After having the best night of his life, he knows he wants more of her, but Allie is not so sure.

Maybe I’m just a twenty-two year old woman who had some no-strings fun for once in her life.
The only problem is—I like the strings. Sex and relationships go hand in hand for me.

As the story unfolds, we see that Allie and Dean are perfect together. They are honest and straightforward with what they want. Dean is an exhibitionist and though he first sees Allie as a “delicate flower,” she soon shows him she has a kinky side. They have great chemistry, their interactions are hilarious, and the banter is awesome.

“Okay, so here’s our plan for tonight. First we’ll bone down to take the edge off. Then we’ll order a pizza and replenish our energy, and after that, round two. Sound good?”
…“Have you considered seeing a psychiatrist about your delusions?” I ask politely. “Because, sweetie, there’s no chance in hell of us boning tonight.”
“Fine. How about we go down on each other instead?”
“How about you leave?”
“Counter offer—I stay and we dry hump.”

Over time a real relationship forms and it’s not just sex anymore. We actually get to see Dean and Allie fall for each other as they try to accept how things have changed when it was only supposed to be a fling.

“I’m not sure I can do this anymore.”
Fuck.
“It’s too confusing… sleeping with you when we’re not actually together—”
“We’re together,” I bite out.
She startles. “What?”
It feels like someone jammed a handful of gravel in my throat. I gulp through it. “We’re together,” I repeat.
She looks baffled. “We… why?”
“Because we are.” …I can’t explain why, but I just know I don’t want this to fucking end.
“You want…” The groove in her forehead deepens. “You want to be with me?”
My heartbeat grows erratic… “I want to be with you,” I mumble. “So that means we’re fucking together, okay?”
Shaky laughter tickles my cheek. “You’re freaking me out right now.”
“I’m freaking myself out.”

I loved Dean and Allie together. Dean shows Allie a side to him that is no one else really sees. He is sweet, loyal and smart. Sometimes it’s hard to take a manwhore and reform him into a likable hero. Elle Kennedy did just that. He is also wonderful with the Hurricanes and I love that he finds something he finally loves doing.

Just like the other two books in this series, The Score was hilarious. I found myself cracking up and laughing out loud on numerous occasions. Add in a hero worth swooning over, a fantastic heroine, awesome friends, several sweet moments, lots of steam, some angst, and things that have me crying ugly tears, and you have an all around great read. I have no doubt Elle Kennedy will write another great Off Campus book and I cannot wait to read Tucker’s story.
