The Score by Elle Kennedy

3.5

This book really did not offer much new to this series. This didn't take away from the fact that I still enjoyed the read a lot: I wasn't bored once, but I'm not having much feelings towards it either. The whole thing feels a bit familiar, because of the similarities with the other two books: It follows the same format without bringing many new things to the table. It was like a weaker rehash of what I'd already read before.

Although Allie and Dean had good chemistry, I feel like their connection is based far too much on sex. It's almost like they only like each other as much as they do because they're both good in bed. It makes their relationship feel superficial and therefore I never really got as emotionally invested in it. This being their main relationship trait also leads to a LOT of sex scenes, and sometimes I even wondered if sex seemed to be the entire plot. I didn't really like that.

BUT, like I said, I wasn't bored at all, and I thoroughly enjoyed the read (I think I only put the book down once to sleep, but apart from that I read it in one sitting). Sadly, although it was entertaining, my feelings just weren't really in it. It’s a good book nonetheless: it for sure would have gotten a higher rating if it'd been a standalone and I hadn't read the rest of the series yet.
