The Score (Off-Campus #3) by Elle Kennedy - Restarting December 4th 2023

[Sarah Elizabeth]

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.

[Edit~A]

50% - [Chapter 10-18]
(view spoiler)[OMG this book is fun, I love that author always adds humour to erotica, I’m laughing my ass off :D
I love the story, Dean of course doesn’t disappoint us, I’m so sad that I reached 50% of it, it was fast I need more… (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

I'm almost done with it, and I agree with what you said! This series manages to still be good even on the third book!

Also, (view spoiler)[ I love that Allie is the kinky one, rather than Dean. Usually, it's the opposite, the guy introduces the girl to kinky (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

77%

(view spoiler)[ Sean is a D-bag... Also, I'd like to see more hockey being played. Oh, and I love how Dean came to care about the kids' team. (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

75% - [Chapter 19-27]
(view spoiler)[Omg love thiiiis!! I love how their relationship progresses, I love them together, I hate Sean tho.. I love Summer, I actually thought she’d be with Tuck, never thought she'd like Fitz, hopefully we will get their book (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

Done!

How can she leave us hanging like that??

IKR!!!!! There are cliffhangers and there are this kind of cliffhangers >.<

[Edit~A]

100% - [Chapter 28-35]
(view spoiler)[Omg it was PERFEEEECT!!
Ok this is annoying, I started every comment with Omg, but what can I do it was really OMg worthy...
The Beau part was heart wrecking, why author, just why? I was getting hopeful with him and Sabrina, though we'd get a book, but what happened and how the book ended crashed my dreams of those couple and not in a good way!
But still hopeful that the fifth book will be Summer's and Fitz's, I'd look so forward to this one!
Loved how it all wrapped at the end, how they found themselves, i'm their age and I see and picture myself in their places, and it was an eye-opening book, I haven't found me yet, but now I'm motivated to do so!!!
This was a hilarious, hot and romantic book about real life and situations! Everyone needs to read it! (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

I knooow! I do wish they'd publish this in Brazil, so more people would get to know this amazing series!

[Tati]

And Winston deserves a book as well! LOL

[Edit~A]

(view spoiler)[I want to see Summer's and Fitz's :D
That is some interesting combo there lol Never saw that coming :D (hide spoiler)]

Reading from May 16th 2016

[Sharon]

Chapters 1-9: (view spoiler)[ I love this series. This is really good so far. I love Dean. I am happy to read about Garrett & Hannah, and Logan & Grace. I thought Allie thought too much, and should loosen up. When she is with Dean, she seems to be more herself. I love that. Her boyfriend needs to move on, and so does she. She needs to move on to Dean. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapters 10-18: (view spoiler)[ I love how funny this book is. The moment Logan walked in on Dean with Winston was hilarious. I thought she was awesome. I thought the book was erotic and I love how Elle Kennedy made Allie the kinky one of the relationship. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapters 19-27: (view spoiler)[ I love their relationship. I also love how she defended Dean in front of Hannah. That was the sweetest moment ever. Also, I did not see Summer and Fitz happening, but now I need book 5 since book 4 is Tuck's story. I thought she would choose Tuck. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ This was another amazing read by Elle Kennedy. This is a story that brought me to tears and made me laugh hysterically. I love Dean & Allie. I loved that Allie was the adventurous one...lol. It was nice to see Garrett & Hannah, and Logan & Grace. I am now looking forward to The Goal to read more about Tucker's story after that cliff hanger at the end of this book. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Sorry for starting this so late!

[Katrina G]

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[ Dean is such a jerk. But his desperation to get some is pretty amusing to read (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[ I don't think it's fair for this new coach to let his grudge against Dean dictate the way he coaches him. But I guess that also depends on what happened beteen Dean and the new coaches daughter (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ They really compared Dean's problems to Edward and Jacob in Twilight. That was one of the funniest things I've ever read (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Sharon wrote: "Chapters 1-9: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I agree with you. Dean is actually putting in a lot of effort to help her move on for Sean. Allie just needs to stop overthinking everything (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 17
(view spoiler)[ There's got to me more to the story than what HAnnah told Allie. Based on what I've read, I really don't think Dean would be hooking up with some other girl (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[ Oh. Wow. That was....I think this is probably my favorite book in the series. I'm really loving this. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 27
(view spoiler)[ Why do I feel like Sean just attacked Dean? (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

End
(view spoiler)[ That cliffhanger!!! I can't wait to read Tucker's story!! (hide spoiler)]

39%

(view spoiler)[It’s good that Allie decided to break up with Sean. If he was giving her ultimatums and they didn’t share the same vision for their future then it was probably for the best. But getting over someone that you have been with for so long is tough.

I really like Dean and Allie together. They seem like they can be themselves with each other.

It sucks that Allie feels so bad about her hookup with Dean. There shouldn’t be any shame. She didn’t do anything wrong. Though I guess I can see where she is coming from since she is just not comfortable with casual sex.

Dean can’t get Allie out of his head. And he is sure being persistent about letting her know how much he wants to have sex with her again. I think that should be an eye opener for him since he doesn’t normally go back to the same girl.

The texting scene at the bar was funny. I thought that the jukebox messages were amusing. (hide spoiler)]

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

48%

(view spoiler)[Dean and Allie clearly enjoy each other’s company. And I love how they are both so into that French soap opera. It’s adorable.

I love how thoughtful Dean is when he prepared the bath for Allie. And OMG, when Logan came home and saw Dean in the bathtub with the dildo beside him while Allie hid behind the door? OMG, I laughed so hard. It was so great. =D (hide spoiler)]

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

71%

(view spoiler)[Dean and Allie are growing some major feelings for each other and they are just denying it. They enjoy each other’s company, even when they aren’t having sex.

Poor Dean. I think that Allie’s father’s comments really got to him. And I really feel bad for her dad too. He just seems so bitter about his situation. But he didn’t have to be so mean to Dean.

Haha, I knew that Beau wasn’t asleep when Dean and Allie were fooling around. Their entire conversation cracked me up. (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

Read the opening few chapters, and Allie was a character I was quite intrigued by. Dean is a little too much initially.

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

Finished!

(view spoiler)[Sean was way out of line. What a douchebag. It was so telling that the one person Allie wanted in that moment was Dean. Even with Hannah and Garrett right there witnessing everything. And Dean didn’t hesitate to say that they were together which made my heart soar. But something tells me that something bad is still on the horizon.

Dean is so adorable with those kids. He would definitely be a great coach or teacher. I hope that he decides to go that route instead of law school.

OMG, I love Dean’s sister, Summer. She is great. I can’t wait to read the spin-off series because one of the books has Summer as the female main character.

Wow, Dean really spiraled down with grief. It sucks that he got kicked off the hockey team. I am glad that Allie decided to leave when she did. Dean was out of control and nothing she did was helping him. I am glad that he finally saw the light and changed after that. I liked how he made all of those apologies as well. And I really love how he went to check on Allie’s dad after his fall.

Yay! So glad that Dean decided to be a coach and a teacher. It is awesome how his family was so supportive. And it was also amazing that Allie got a part with the director that she loved and got to stay in New York. Everything worked out perfectly in the end.

Holy shit! Tucker is having a baby with Sabrina. The next book should be pretty interesting. Haha. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yes, I really like Allie. And you're right about Dean. He is a lot to take in but he is also a very honest and real person. I think that I may like him the best so far in the series. (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Will be starting this soon :)

(view spoiler)[ He's been in the background a little in the others, but I do think the interaction with his previous coach will be interesting to see. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ The bar scene was hysterical! Why is she so worried about spending time with Dean, when it's pretty clear he's not behaving in his usual way towards her. (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

Up to ch31. So many laugh out loud moments that the revelation about Beau hit hard.

[Karen]

Finished. Review on home page. Liked this one a lot more than I thought I would.

(view spoiler)[ Allie's dad seems to recognise something in Dean. Hoped he'd be proved wrong - even if it took time. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yes, I was really curious about his history with his previous coach. I thought the coach was a total asshole, regardless of past events. His coach clearly hasn't let go. (hide spoiler)]

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

Karen wrote: "♛Vanessa♛ wrote: "39%"

(view spoiler)[The bar scene was definitely amusing. I think that at the end Allie realized that she was being childish and jealous. And I like that Dean knew that and wouldn't let her blow off the conversation. He was straight with her and I loved that. (hide spoiler)]

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

Karen wrote: "Up to ch31. So many laugh out loud moments that the revelation about Beau hit hard."

(view spoiler)[Yes, OMG. I really did not expect that plot twist. It is amazing how much it hit me since he was just a side character throughout the series. I still remember when Garrett introduced Hannah to Beau in the first book and they became friends. It was so sad. (hide spoiler)]

Karen wrote: "Finished. Review on home page. Liked this one a lot more than I thought I would."

(view spoiler)[I am glad that you enjoyed it. I think that this one has been my favorite so far. Though it is honestly hard to choose because I have liked all the books in this series so far. After meeting Summer in this book I am looking forward to the spin-off series. (hide spoiler)]

I'm not really feeling this right now, so I think I'll take a little break. Kinda stuck in a reading slump :/

No worries. It won't last forever. I am kind of in a reading slump myself. I had to reread my favorite series last week because nothing new was working for me. -hugs-
