Allie and Dean are definitely the spiciest of the couples and were very entertaining to read about! 

Dean has main character energy, for sure. I like how the author always seems to peel back the layers on her MMCs to reveal that there is more to them than meets the eye. They are not what their first impression might lead you to believe and I admire how she showed Dean’s true colors. The male characters always seem to have bit more growth and evolution, but as a female reader…I love that. 

I found Allie’s attitude towards casual sex relatable and respected her taking a breather to know herself as an individual before becoming part of a couple again. 

Big bombshell dropped at the end of the book makes me eager to dive into #4 and see how the previous books’ characters come into play now that they’ve all graduated.

Dean offers to be Allie’s rebound after she breaks up with her long term boyfriend. It’s no issue for Dean, because he’s the king of casual sex. Except, he can’t stop thinking about Allie and their night together.

Okay, going into this book was decent because of The Score. I didn't feel any anticipation or hype when and after reading it. But as the story slowly progress, I was invested. Dean reminds me of Garrett a bit but way wilder than Garrett sexually. John, I love his calm aura. He doesn't display much of his sex life like Garrett and Dean.

But anyways, I love the dynamic between Allie and Dean. It doesn't feel force, although at first it felt it was so that they both have attraction towards each other. After Allie and Sean broke up and her get together with Dean kinda feel like a bit force because she suddenly feel sexually attracted to him. As for him, he's attracted to every vagina haver. I always liked Dean since The Deal. IDK male characters who are a manwhore always makes me giggle and have a soft spot for them in my heart (IRL? No.). What I like abt Dean, beside high active sex life is how his character now one dimensional. Which a lot of male characters tend to be one dimensional not matter what the trope is. I guess that's the problem with current romance books. Writing and selling books solely based on tropes bcs marketing strategy. Which goes into that this series was released b4 trope were introduced. I also like how his rich family background is not the main issue. His family is very supportive and very refreshing to me. It's rare that character who comes from a rich family don't have a dark and sad tragic backstory. I don't think he doesn't have any tragic backstory that haunts him wholly. Which mould together perfectly with Allie as she has tragic backstory. And again, a rare thing to happen because it's usually the male characters.

Because of the reasons above, I gave this a 4.5⭐ I really enjoyed it. I love this more than The Deal. But sometimes I really do wish we get to read from Garrett, Logan and Hannah’s POV to see the outlook of Dean and Allie’s relationship. Especially Logan’s, I want to read what goes through his head during and after the bathroom scene LMAO.

EDIT: I’m giving this a 4.25 after a few days of reconsideration that the start off for Allie and Dean’s relationship wasn't so smooth as currently I’m reading Tucker’s book (The Goal) and realizing the same thing. Same thing with Logan and Grace’s relationship (The Mistake). I feel like Garrett's and Hannah’s relationship that I feel very genuine and well written relationship in this series.
