Scored follows a baseball star and a hot indie records store seller, they have met more than once through their best friends, and their chemistry is sizzling hot.
Story:
Kelsey and Matt showed up in Bossed, and I enjoyed them immensely as side characters. Somehow, I enjoyed them a little less as main characters in Scored. I think it was because both of them kept second-guessing themselves quite a bit, and while I can understand some of that, it also kind of got old.
Matt really liked Kelsey from the first time he met her, but he had no idea they had even more in common than what came to light when they were out with Ethan and Jenny. Scored showed these common interests nicely, but they were both resisting the attraction so hard!
Kelsey had been in some bad relationships, and Matt mostly thought about baseball, and his contract coming up. Because of this, they had some mishaps when it came to communication, and that's something I have a hard time adhering to in my stories. And while there were quite a few things I enjoyed about Scored, I wasn't able to completely let go and just let the story unfold.
Characters:
Kelsey was a fun character most of the time. Her love for music, and the way she stood her ground even if she liked Matt was great. Also, she didn't really get baseball, so when she finally went out with him, it wasn't to be a hanger-on.
Matt was used to getting any woman he wanted, only things didn't work that way with Kelsey. His family had taught him some good values, and he used is fame and money for good.
Writing style :
Scored is written in first person point of view, past tense, with chapters from either Matt's or Kelsey's perspective.
Feels :
There was hotness and steam, and there was hope and despair.
I'd love to say I wasn't thinking about Kelsey's perky tits instead of the millions of dollars of contracts on the table, but that would've been a lie. It wasn't just her breasts that captivated me, but yeah - they were nice and I was still a guy.
If Matt hadn't been holding my wrists against the door I might've fallen straight into a crumpled pile of Kelsey on the ground.
