The Score – Paperback by Elle Kennedy (An Off-Campus Novel)

Product Description (Rich Text Body):

"He’s used to getting whatever he wants with a flash of a smile. But winning her heart is going to take a whole lot more than charm."

Why We Shelved It:

Book three in Elle Kennedy’s runaway bestselling Off-Campus series, The Score is beloved by romance readers for its electric banter, top-tier heat, and iconic "reformed player" character arc. Pairing Briar hockey’s most charismatic playboy, Dean Di Laurentis, with the quick-witted, no-nonsense Allie Hayes, this installment turns the friends-with-benefits trope on its head. It brings unadulterated fun, sharp comedic timing, and heartfelt emotional growth to our shelves.

The Story:

Allie Hayes is spiraling. College graduation is barreling toward her, she still doesn't know what direction her life is headed, and she’s just finally walked away from a draining, on-again-off-again relationship. Wild rebound flings are definitely not on her post-breakup agenda—until an impulsive night with gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis upends all her rules. It was supposed to be a one-time distraction. Nothing more.

Dean always gets what he wants: goals, grades, and any girl he sets his sights on. Commitment has never been in his playbook. But after one unforgettable night with Allie, the king of casual encounters finds himself completely hooked—and downright offended when she suggests they just stay friends. When sudden personal tragedy and unexpected life shakeups hit, Dean realizes that casual charm won't cut it anymore. It’s time to stop keeping score and start fighting for something real.
