Okay, so I eat, sleep and breathe football and reporting the beautiful game is my dream career. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have time for a major crush on the England captain, Lewis Tate. The bloke is sex on legs, hot with a capital H. Add in his awe-inspiring talent, his brooding good looks and what’s not to lust after?
So my excitement is sky-high as I set off with the...more

Very cute and hot romance. This had some funny lines in it and even funnier situations! I had to LOL a few times.
Nicky is a sports writer and she loves football--aka soccer for all of us Americans out there. She's set to cover the European cup for her magazine and that consists of following the England team to to the competition. That has the added bonus of letting her see super hot, extremely talented team captain, Lewis Tate.

As a girl who also loves sports, including football (American), the concept of this book was rather interesting to me. SO many people associate sports with men that they often fail to realize that there are woman who not only like them, but love them.
Now, I will be the first one to admit that I know absolutely nothing about soccer, or as the rest of the world calls it "Football," but I enjoyed having it as the backdrop of the story.

Nicky Thomas is a female sports reporter for Kick Magazine and has been given the chance of a lifetime. Following the English football (soccer) team as it battles for the European Cup, she will also follow Lewis Tate, captain of the team. He is England's golden boy and and beyond sexy. Coach Fellows has strict rules for his team when they travel, especially with The Cup in the balance. No women are allowed to distract the men as they focus on winning, so when Nicky shows up at the first press co...more
It is well known that I am footy mad. I love Manchester United and have spent untold hours watching matches and agonising over the results. You can tell from this book that Lily Harlem is also a fan who knows about these things. All the football talk is believable without being too nerdy. So if you love football (soccer) you'll love this book and if you're clueless you'll love it too.

I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't shocking, there was very little angst, and we get a HEA - it was the perfect book for anyone looking for that kind of read. Not too heavy, not overly sweet, but a great, sexy read.

Lately I've been on a sport romance reading kick, and yet Scored is the very first story which featured a European football (soccer) player, until now I've only read about American footballers, hockey or baseball players. Having read Lily Harlem's Hot Ice series about sexy hockey players I knew I was in for a steamy story, and Scored most certainly did not disappoint. It was sexy yet heart-warming and romantic. The kind of romance that makes you sigh and dream of meeting (and especially be wooed...more

This is the first time that I’ve read anything by Lily Harlem, but not the first time I’ve heard of her. One of my good virtual friends on goodreads, loves her stuff and so her name has come up in recommendations several times. So when I was looking for a book featuring soccer and her book showed up on the Amazon listopia, I figured it was time to give her a try.
I almost immediately fell in love with Nicky – she reminded me a lot of myself when it came to sports, because there were some that I u...more

“I received this book as a review copy in return for an honest review”
I LOVED THIS BOOK!
Great story line by Lily Harlem. Lily proves that women can be sports writers and not all jocks are air headed. Nicky is a determined journalist and she will do what she can to get the story. She doesn’t care about the personal lives of the players; she is only interested in the sports they play. Lewis, (oh Lewis) the hot and talented captain of the team doesn’t know what hit him when he sees Nicky. Nicky pre...more

I have a new book boyfriend and his name is Lewis Tate. OH MY HOLY EIGHT POUND BABY JESUS IN A TUXEDO T-SHIRT. This man is perfect with NO FLAWS. I read this today at a indoor play area while my daughter played and I know that the other moms had to be wondering what I was reading since I either had a goofy smile on my smile the whole time or was giggling. This book is SOOOO romantic. If you are looking for a hotter than hot romance with no major drama, heartbreak or serious conflict, this is you...more

I really enjoyed this story. Wish it was a bit longer, but it is what it is. Nicky is a great female character who works in a man's world. She's a sports reporter for a local British magazine and is following The English National Team as they go for the European Cup. She's the only woman following the team and constantly gets looked over during the press time after a match. Until she speaks up and demands to be heard. Fortunately for her, she's also managed to catch the eye of the Captain of the...more

This is a sweet fun quick read. I wish it did not think of itself as erotica because then it would have been a little longer and the character would have had more depth and back story. This would have made the book richer and re readable. This writer is good and creating characters. I love that the h is accident prone and the exactness of the English football world and the real reason for the tension in the main relationship the hero is great. While the sex is steamy, one of moments is improbabl...more
This was really cute. We have Nicky who is a sports journalist in a male-dominated occupation. Her boss decides to send he to cover the European Cup because he thinks she can get gossip and more non-competition related info about the team. She bristles at this request because she's trying to be a legitimate reporter and besides the fact that she doesn't want to gossip, she needs to be professional to be able to use this job as a stepping stone to a more fulfilling job. When she gets to Russia, t...more
My first Lily Harlem book and I couldn't put it down. A must read for lovers of sports romance stories. I fell in love with the characters from the start. A hero who isn't arrogant and deep down wants what we all want, true love. And a heroine who is a bit quirky with an edge. Scored provided just the right balance of love, hot sex, and real life. I recommend this product to everyone looking for a fun, passionate read about finding "the one" meant for each of us. Praise for Lily Harlem on an ama...more

Reading Challenges: Sports Romance, Why Buy the Cow?
My Thoughts: A fun and sexy sports romance. It's a bit basic and standard, but I found it very enjoyable to read. I mean, I haven't come across many football/soccer players in romances so this is a nice change. I liked how the author didn't make the male journalist that tries to tag along with Nicky a total bad guy. I honestly expected him to be, but he turns out to be an upstanding man in the end.

As a football fan (soccer) I loved it was based round a European sport. Deducting a star due to it being about the England team, as I'm a scotland fan. Reminded me of the World Cup situation with Capello.
Really liked Nicky and Lewis.
Definitely a good short read.

I got this free on Amazon and I am sometimes sceptical about free reads and those that don't have many reviews. But this was a great read! It was quick and fast paced but it was a good read with sexy times, romance and love. What more could you ask for out of a free read! I could have definitely read more on these two. I recommend this one for sure!
Super hot and heavy love story. Fans of soccer will love this. Freaking hot between the sheet whew! For this kinda erotica-romance book in thought it was very well written. They did get hot and heavy fast but there was build up to it.
Loved this book, read it in a day. Highly addictive, characters are funny, hunk is a real hottie and I never wanted book to end. Will definitely be looking out for more books by this author.
A fun and cute erotic romance, enjoyed the Britishisms, if that is even a word, within the book, especially enjoyed Lewis Tate, a little bit dominant but more beta hero than what I am used to

This book was great! hotter than hell and some parts were laugh-out-loud funny. Not super deep emotionally, but I really, but so sweet. Great HEA that made me go 'Awe!' a lot! Highly recommend for a light and super-hot read! Mmmmmmm.... Lewis.....

Hello hotness. Loved this book, he was totally sessy and sweet. The romance was cute and I liked that there was no angst. I would love to read more by this author.
This is a scorching hot, naughty but sweet sports romance. I loved the development of the relationship I don't think there's been a hottest football star as Lewis Tate.
I honestly wasn't sure what to expect with this freebie but I really liked reading about Lewis and Nicky. I was expecting some (view spoiler) with a good amount of laughs.
This was the most enjoyable story I've read in a while. I saw this book listed on a review site, and had to check it out.
This book held my attention almost from the beginning. The H/H had amazing chemistry. This will definitely go into my re-read pile.

I really loved hearing Nicky's thoughts and there were tons of funny lines but the extreme use of purple prose just wasn't my thing.
shorter than I anticipated due to inclusion of chapters from other books at the end but a really good short light and hot read
Its a slow read, but I liked it nonetheless. But that might be a little of an unfair rating/comment, because I had just come off of reading a very racy book.
Cute but totally hot. The end was a little over-the-top. And the story ends at 66%. I hate that.
2.5 stars. The erotic moments were crude and robotic. Not very steamy. I liked the HEA but it was too quick.
Sweet, sappy and sexy as hell...quite a diversion. Enjoyed and want my own Lewis!!!
