The Score

Not going to lie, this series is legit good. I am continually surprised how much I enjoy the characters and the plots. The spice level doesn't hurt either! The Score is the third in the series although you can easily read this as a standalone. It follows Allie as she navigates her senior year and what she wants her future to look like. She and her boyfriend of three years have just broken up because he expected her to drop her dreams so she could help him pursue his (rude). But now she must decide between Hollywood and Broadway. To further complicate matters she has a passionate steamy night with campus' biggest player. He's a big hockey star, loaded, and handsome. The problem is Allie doesn't do casual, and Dean doesn't do relationships. What could go wrong?! Cute, sexy, and fun. 

The Mistake

I honestly think I enjoyed this book more than The Deal! I really enjoyed Logan's storyline and I thought the problems he had with his homelife were compelling and sad. Grace could have been a little more fleshed out as a character, but I am glad she grew a little as the story progressed. This is the second book in the off-campus series but you don't have to read the first one to follow along (you just get some background on some of the friends). John Logan is an elite hockey player at Briar and he has a lot of fun on and off the ice. He enjoys the ladies, but the one he wants the most is taken by his best friend. He is so hung up on her that he is content to bone his way around campus to forget her. That is until he meets Grace. Grace is cute, nerdy, and talks a ton. She's also a virgin. For some reason he finds himself drawn to her and then he goes and ruins it all. Will she ever forgive him? Cute, wildly unbelievable, super sexy, and fun. 

The Deal

Don't get me wrong, I liked this book, I enjoyed this book! I thought it was steamy and sexy and wonderful BUT... the second that Garrett mentioned he needed a fake ID.... it was a bit of a mood killer. I am in my mid-thirties and I just had in my head that they were older than that. I was picturing fifth year seniors or something but I got a reality check real quick when I read that. I was getting a little TOO invested in some 20 year old's sex life. Storyline was good and really reminded me a lot of Icebreaker. I wonder if the author was inspired by this book and decided to mimic it. Hot romance, but my age cooled that down real quick.
