Marquita Valentine scores major points with her newest contemporary romance, Scored!!! How could she not when the heroine is a librarian and the hero is an NFL tight end? Yes, we get a Mr. Darcy loving romance bookworm who gets swept away by a kindhearted and sexy hero , who is not your typical cocky jock. Did I also mention that these two are two friggin cute for words? So it’s pretty much given that Marquita has whipped up a fast paced fun and sweet romance that will have you saying TOUCHDOWN.
Dallas Drake is one NFL sexiest bachelors. He has fame, money, and has no problems with the ladies. He also has an ego to match the size of his bank account but what people fail to realize that there is more to Dallas Drake, than the pretty boy football star. First, he has a kind and loving heart especially when it comes to his family and his charity that helps children with medical needs and financial assistance. While Dallas is trying to stay away from unwanted and unnecessary scandal or anything that will upset his publicist, he fortunately meets a nice girl that likes him not Dallas the star athlete.
Paige Owens is a romantic at heart and how could she not be as a librarian. She loves books, happily ever afters, and her friends and family. As for her love life, well it’s pretty much nonexistent that is until a drop dead gorgeous man walked into her library. Right away, Dallas didn’t waste anytime asking Paige out but she was hesitant to agree since he is a client of her sister’s and rumors about his playboy ways.
Well it didn’t take long for Dallas to finally finagle a date out of Paige. Soon one date led to several more dates. And soon Dallas and Paige were officially a couple but never in the public eye since their relationship was kept a secret from Paige’s sister, Finley. But what happens when they hit a little speed bump in their relationship and Dallas wants everyone to know that he is in a serious committed relationship? Is Paige Owens ready for the world and her sister to know that she is dating Dallas Drake?
I can always count on Marquita Valentine to deliver swoonworthy and charming romance. I think it’s practically embedded in her nature to write these type of love stories. Scored was another perfect example of a love story that was fun, playful, sexy, and charming. You just can’t help but fall in love with her characters. So if you are looking for a perfect summer romance book then I highly recommend you to read this book.
P.S. Marquita… Is Layton and Aiden getting a book? Please say, yes!!!
