Book Review: The Score

Title:  The Score

Author: Leonor Soliz

Genre: Romance

Trope: Sports (Football), Friends to Lovers, Marriage of Convenience. 

Rating: Loved!

Spice: Flamin Hot Cheeto

Synopsis: Best friends Pen & Leon have spent decades denying anything more than friendship to everyone around them, especially themselves. When Pen’s family faces its latest hurdle, there is no doubt that Leon will do anything to help. Her family is his after all and there isn’t a thing he wouldn’t do for his best friend. 

Even marry her and give her all the thrilling, heart racing experiences she could want. What are rich best friends for anyway?  

Thoughts: I have been waiting for Pen & Bear’s story since Pen first uttered the “we’re just friends” party line back in Book 1. I could smell the denial through the pages and knew, I just KNEW, they would make for an amazing love story. Leonor Soliz really out did herself with this one. Although the story did have some heavy story material, emotionally, for me, it was such a beautiful journey. Friends for decades and love grows, sometimes you don’t even notice that it’s also changed, and when it hits these two it’s like a freight train. With family, friends, fun and spice this is just another wonderful addition to the Seattle Strike series that should not be missed.

Rating:

LOVED= 5 Stars. A new fav. Will be talking about every chance I get. 

ENJOYED= 4-3 Stars.  It wasn’t a life changer but I would recommend. 

0-2 Stars/ DNF= I will not post a review about a book I didn’t enjoy or did not finish. Good vibes only. I support anyone who’s brave enough to create their own work and put it out into the world for others. 

Spice: 

Puffy Cheeto- No Spice. 

Crunchy Cheeto- Closed Door/Fade to Black

Flamin Hot Cheeto- Spicy. A few detailed scenes. 

Takis- Erotica. With more mature themes.
