Kim's review of Most Likely To Score by Lauren Blakely

" Jones Beckett is sexy, outgoing, flirtatious, and has BIG...hands...and he knows how to use them. He's the star receiver for the Renegades and his career is going well. But his reputation off the field could use a bit of rehab to dispel his party guy Jones Beckett is sexy, outgoing, flirtatious, and has BIG...hands...and he knows how to use them. He's the star receiver for the Renegades and his career is going well. But his reputation off the field could use a bit of rehab to dispel his party guy, womanizer image. He is need of direction not only from a new agent, but the team's PR Director is also stepping in to help.

Enter PR guru, Jillian Moore. She is beautiful, witty, personable, responsible, and hard working. And Jones has had the hots for her for awhile, but now she is giving him extra time and attention and he is enjoying every second of flirting and tempting her. She has had a crush on him for a long time too, but is just trying to be professional, keep her head high, and not ogle him while she watches him pose in various states of undress for promo shots. She does not think he would be attracted to her as she looks and acts differently than the football groupies of his past. Neither has a clue that the other is harboring an attraction or feelings for the other, so there is a lot of sexual tension, temptation, and avoidance going on.

Jones is fun, charming, flirty, and a bit dirty, but he also has a big, kind heart. He totally and completely won me over early on and I absolutely adored him. He goes out of his way to help others and support charities. And he knows what he really wants, even if the idea is new to him and he is not sure how to go about getting it.

But eventually they will get too close for comfort and everything they have kept hidden will spill over on one intense weekend. But what happens when they have to return the real world...the one where a relationship between them is basically forbidden and could risk both of their careers?

This is a story about two likable and good people that have a major conflict that is out of their control. If they sneak around they could jeopardize her job or promotion, and his focus, reputation, and sponsorships.

I really liked that this one did not have a lot of unnecessary relationship angst or silly dramas. The conflict came from outside of that. They had real reasons to worry about what being "outed" could do the careers that they have worked hard for and take seriously and it was a risk for each of them.

But eventually it has to come down to priorities and risk vs. rewards. They will have to make a decision about what they can live with and without. This is a funny, sexy, sweet, swoony, forbidden love story told in dual points of view. We really needed both of their voices in this one especially since they kept their feelings hidden for so long. And their personal relationship really evolved so naturally and felt so real. I loved each of their personalities and senses of humor that just shined through during their self talk and personal interactions. They are truly just one of those couples that you want to see overcome any obstacles.

This can easily be read as a stand alone, but does revisit the Renegades world. I liked getting to know their families and and friends. His brother, Trevor and his team mate, Harlan stood out. I was excited to see the return of a certain Manager and quarterback from Most Valuable Playboy. Her friends, Katie and Lily were also significant in the story. But the character that totally burrowed a place into my heart was his amazing little superdog, Cletus. What a charmer!

I hope that we see more books in this series. I really want more with the pie-baking, running back Harlan possibly with a certain woman that we have already met.

I was gifted a copy by the author.
