- Book Synopsis
-
Welcome to Briar U! Get ready for your newest obsession . . . Discover the addictive world of the Off-Campus series from The Queen of Hockey Romance, Elle Kennedy! Read The Score now for the perfect friends with benefits romance! 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.

Ideal for Readers Who…
- Have been waiting for Dean Di Laurentis since page one of The Deal — Dean has been the most visibly interesting supporting character across the first two books, and The Score gives him a heroine who is his equal in every way. If you've been watching him in the background and wondering, the answer is yes: he absolutely earns it.
- Love friends-with-benefits tension that's genuinely tense — The Score is the series' friends-with-benefits book, and Elle Kennedy commits to the setup properly. The arrangement between Dean and Allie has a logic to it, clear rules, and absolutely no chance of surviving contact with actual feelings.
- Want the most emotionally complex lead in the series — Dean's backstory is the darkest of the four Off-Campus heroes, and The Score takes it seriously. This is the book in the series where you realise Kennedy is doing something more ambitious than standard sports romance, and the payoff is significant.
- Are reading for the heroine as much as the hero — Allie Hayes is an aspiring actress with a very clear sense of what she wants from her life and a completely unclear sense of what she wants from Dean. Her arc is the book's best element and the reason The Score consistently ranks as many readers' favourite in the series.
- Enjoy a romance where both characters are equally stubborn — neither Dean nor Allie is going to be the first to admit anything. The stand-off is the point, and Kennedy stretches it out to exactly the right length before letting it break.
- Are working through the Off-Campus series — after Dean and Allie, Tucker Cassidy finally gets his story in The Goal, and all four couples return for The Legacy. If you haven't started from the beginning, The Deal is Book 1.
