Scoring With Him by Lauren Blakely
2.0
I was enjoying this book and then-bam-CLIFFHANGER! I don't care to read a duology unless I know that's what it is and I have both books available to me. A romance book, by definition, has a HEA. When a book ends like this one did, I'm immediately disappointed. All the feel-good feelings up to that point are gone.
Prior to the cliffhanger, this book was a solid 3.5 stars for me. I like the "we're fake dating but totally catching feelings" trope, and this book was delivering on that for me. The main characters had lots of chemistry, which is always a plus, but were also becoming emotionally invested. I really enjoyed that they were taking the time to get to know one another. Honestly, had the book ended on the hotel scene, this would have been a 3.5-4 star read. But, cliffie immediately made all those happy feels go away. I just cannot give a romance book that doesn't even have a Happily for Right Now anything more than 2 stars.
