REVIEW: Most Likely to Score by Lauren Blakely

Most Likely To Score by [Blakely, Lauren]

Most Likely To Score by Lauren Blakely

A sexy new forbidden romance from #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely about a sports star and the woman who's off limits...

It should have been a simple play…

She needed a football player to step up and be the star for a charity calendar. I needed a sharp and savvy publicist to manage a brand-new sponsorship deal. I scratched her back. She scratched mine. And oh hell, did Jillian ever drag her nails down my back on one hell of a hot night. Okay fine, it was several hot nights on the road.

Now we’re back in town and it’s time to set the play clock back to when we were simply player and publicist. Given the way the last few years have gone, I can’t risk this deal, so it's hands off for us once again. Trouble is, I want more than than just another night with her.

What’s a guy to do when he's always been most likely to score, but the woman he’s falling for is just out of bounds?

I don't date players.

And I definitely don't sleep with players.

And I absolutely don't fall for a certain player when I get to know him and learn he's more than just sexy -- he's clever, funny and has a heart as big as his . .. well, you get my drift.

But my job is at stake, and I can't afford to lose that as well as my heart. The problem is, I think I've already lost that game.

What's a girl to do when the clock is running out, but the man she's falling for is off limits?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely adored this story!

"Jones isn't just a player. He's a playa."

Jones Beckett needs to clean up his image and rehab his reputation. Jillian Moore is just the right person to help him. She's a great publicist and knows how to work social media to his advantage. He's also insanely attracted to her but, no matter what he does, he can't get her to look twice at him. Now, she's completely off limits to him.

"Jones and I are like east and west...hot pepper and ice cream...a bikini for a ski weekend."

Jillian has had a crush on Jones since the first day she met him, but she's extremely professional in her response to his constant teasing and flirting. She certainly doesn't want to be just another notch on his bedpost. Anyway, they're like chalk and cheese - they just don't go together. However, working in close proximity to him shows her a different side to him, and tests her restraint to the limit, until one question ignites the fuse of sexual attraction between them.

"It started as attraction. It morphed into lust. It veered into something stronger...She fascinates me, and she intrigues me."

This was such a fun, easy, super sexy read! This author consistently delivers delicious stories that are so, so easy to devour and thoroughly enjoy.

Jones and Jillian were gorgeous together! I loved Jones' constant flirting with her, and his cheeky attempts at getting her to really look at him. I loved what a marshmallow of a guy he was inside with his love of animals and family. He thrilled me with his possessiveness of Jillian and his leap of faith to be with her. Jillian was a great character - and what a saint! I don't know how she could resist him for as long as she did! LOL. I loved that her values closely matched Jones' in terms of family and work ethic. I enjoyed the honesty they shared and that there were no games between them.

This was an amusing, feel-good book full of forbidden, sexual tension and a lot of heart!
