Most Likely To Score

One day, Ms. Blakely, one day I'd like for you to challenge yourself by writing a hero who is completely unworthy, completely unswoony, and completely uncaring. Maybe this could be a New Year's Resolution? If not for 2018, maybe 2019? I mean, I'm not a writer but I always hear it's good to challenge yourself at things. Because really, I’m running out of room on my Blakely Book Boyfriend Shelf. Jones is so big, so full of life, he’s taking up a lot of space. I loved that family was front and center in this book. I love when characters have happy and loving families, when they all genuinely like each other. Family drama can be all well and good, and can even serve a purpose in some books, but it’s nice to see moms and dads, brothers and sisters, not just getting along, but loving each other and wanting what’s best for each other. Jillian and Jones had really great families. And I loved that family was important to both of them. Jones and Jillian are a terrific couple. Their banter and teasing and flirting was so fun and entertaining. Even though they were harboring feelings for the other they tried so hard to not overstep any boundaries, it was very admirable. I liked that they didn’t push things, what was happening between them was very natural and real. When their feelings got to be too much and they just couldn’t fight it any longer, it was HOT! But it was sweet, too. You could tell they liked and respected the other and didn’t want any problems to come from their relationship. I loved that there wasn’t any unnecessary drama between them, nothing to cause heartache or pain. When they realized their feelings couldn't be pushed aside they took ownership and did the right thing. Most Likely to Score is just a really sweet, really enjoyable story.

Who will be Most Likely to Score?

This book blew me away. I could tell it was going to be pretty good from the first page. Jones' internal banter was hilarious!! I totally fell for him even before he started putting the moves on Jillian. His ability to find the lighter side of things never made him seem immature - just a guy who knew how to have fun. Jones stole my heart further & then completely with how considerate he was of Jillian. Her reputation, success & happiness meant a lot to him, so watching him struggle to hide his feelings for her definitely increased his appeal for me. I enjoyed the way the story flowed, even from Jillian's POV. The author took a forbidden romance trope and made it into a story that I truly, truly enjoyed. I wholeheartedly recommend this title. I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book.
