Book no 3 of the series.
I really like how different all of the characters are and that we are getting very different perspectives and journeys in each book in the series.
Dean and Allie are a fabulous pair and we really get to see their true selves in this book.
I think poor Dean gets a bad rep from the previous books (even from his friends) so it's so nice to see him have his turn.
There is trauma, laughs, sweet moments and a lot of spice!
Really enjoyed it.

Dean Di Laurentis & Allie Hayes
Trope: Friend with benefits to lovers, Secret relationship, Reformed Player, Alcoholism
Allie och hennes ex Sean har precis gjort slut, och för att rymma från honom flyttar hon till hockeykillarnas hus för en helg. Efter en massa tequila råkar hon hamna i säng med Dean, skolans största player - ett rebound.
Han kan inte sluta tänka på henne, han får lixom knappt 'upp den' (så att säga) för någon annan och suktar efter att få mer av henne. Hon försöker stå emot men efter ett tag ger hon sig och de får istället en Friends with benefits-typ av relation, som sedan leder till mer när de till slut tvingas avslöja sin relation för Hannah och Garrett.
Deans bästavän Beau dör i en bilolycka och han får problem med alkohol, och till slut orkar inte Allie stå ut längre och dumpar honom. Till slut får han ett wake up call och ställer allt till rätta.
... och de blir tillsammans igen <3
Side plots:
- Allies pappa (mamman är död) har MS.
- Dean har ett ex som var toxic, och hennes pappa är nu tränare för hans hockeylag.
- Dean vill inte bli proffisionell hockeyspelare i framtiden, och får upp ögonen för att vara tränare när han tvingas träna ett yngre hockeylag (och frivilligt lära en flicka åka skridskor).
Review:
Jag ÄLSKADE denna boken, den hade previs allt!!
Först var jag osäker på om jag gillade ploten men sedan kom jag verkligen in i det och herregud, sedan var jag FAST!! Jag älskade deras hemliga relation, och jag totalt DOG när Allie var ledsen och bad Hannah att hämta Dean!
Och asså slutet när Dean bad om förlåtelse och köpte biljetter till NY åt Allie och hennes Pappa.... det fick mig att BÖLA. Asså hela sista 30% av boken var något speciellt och jag var sååå känslosam.

Steamy, humorous and charming, The Score by Elle Kennedy is about a girl who has just broken up with her boyfriend and a guy who is a total playboy but changes for her.
Summary: Allison "Allie" Hayes has just broken up with her boyfriend of four years for good, and she desperately wants to stay away from him. She hides out at her best friend's boyfriend's apartment and ends up sleeping with Dean Di Laurentis, who is a hockey player and a total playboy.
Tropes/Genres:
• reformed playboy
• friends to lovers
• college
• one-night stand
• sports (ice hockey)
• contemporary romance
• set in Massachusetts
Review: Dean and Allie are such an interesting couple. They are very sex-crazed, but it's also easy to tell that they also deeply care for each other beyond physical interests. I found this book quite funny from the beginning. It's fun, entertaining and absolutely charming.
Allie is an interesting character. Her struggle as someone who seems to always be in a relationship and is never single is something that many people can probably relate to. Most of her character arc was related to her ex, Sean, and her aspiration to become an actress. It was well handled.
Dean is such a charming person. I love how he is unapologetically himself. He feels like a sex addict, but we love him anyway. His high libido is quite amusing. Not only is he an amazing partner, but he is also an amazing friend. I think his journey through learning to overcome adversity is something worth admiring. It certainly was a challenge for him, someone who has barely struggled in life.
I would say that this book has given Dean a much bigger spotlight than Allie. It talks about his high school coach, career aspirations, hockey team and struggles with grief. I enjoyed watching Dean discover his true passion throughout the course of the book. Dean displayed a lot of character growth despite the times he messed up, and that's great.
This story has a nice balance of fun and serious topics. I also enjoyed seeing the characters of this series and their interpersonal relationships. It feels realistic even through all that drama. The author's writing style makes it feel like readers know the characters somehow. Many lessons can also be learned in this book. Sometimes, the most obvious path in life may not be the one for you, and the author expressed that well.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this book to those who want to read a nice, steamy and humorous college hockey romance between friends with benefits. Dean and Allie have vibes and chemistry. I like how mature their relationship was, and there aren't many misunderstandings here.
