Caroline F's Reviews > Looking to Score

LOVED THIS! Roll on October 15!! Gaaaahhhh!!

"Never have I been known to stake a claim on a person like I'm blatantly doing with Kay, but I get a rush from it all the same."

Mason 'Casanova' Nova is a player through and through - no girl can pin him down. However, when he meets pocket-sized Kayla, there's something about her that gets right under his skin like no other girl before. He knows he needs to concentrate on his football and she obviously isn't interested. However, he can't help himself. He's persistent in his attentions, yet she puts him off at every turn.

"I've fought him, fought us, every step of the way, but no more. I'm done running, done letting my past dictate my future."

Kayla keeps everyone, except a chosen few, at a distance. She doesn't trust easily. She especially has no interest in being with a football player - even one as gorgeous and charming as Mason. However, day by day, he proves himself to be more than he portrays. Unfortunately, he has trust issues of his own and also a jealous streak a mile wide where Kayla is concerned.

"My mouth crashes to hers. Touchdown! The first taste of her lips feels like coming home."

This was such a fab story! Mason was so taken with Kayla from the get-go, and he was persistent and domineering in his pursuit of her. She's pretty stubborn throughout but little by little, he sneaks under her guard. Her backstory and the reasons for her reticence takes some time to be revealed. I possibly could have done with a little less of the inner monologue but, overall, it was pretty amusing. I adored Kayla's close friendships and Mason was desperate to be let into her inner circle. For all his popularity, Mason is touchingly vulnerable and somewhat insecure, but Kayla suited him more than either realised. The two of them together were hot, funny and so right. I loved the banter and chemistry between them but I've gotta say that the ending got to me! Roll on book 2!!
