The Score by Elle Kennedy is the third book in the Off-Campus series, a popular collection of contemporary romance novels set at a fictional university. This sizzling romance novel combines humor, emotional depth, and irresistible chemistry, making it a must-read for fans of new adult romance.
The story centers around Allie Hayes, a college student who is going through a tough breakup and trying to get her life back on track.

Enter Dean Di Laurentis, the charming and playful hockey player who is known for his loveable, cocky attitude and his reputation as a ladies' man.
Dean has always been the guy who enjoys a good time, but when he is assigned to be Allie’s partner for an English class project, their dynamic begins to shift. What starts off as a purely academic relationship turns into something far more complicated as Dean and Allie spend more time together. Despite their differences, the two begin to develop an undeniable attraction to each other. But Dean’s carefree, no-strings-attached approach to relationships may clash with Allie’s more reserved and emotional nature, making them question whether a relationship can work between them.

The novel explores themes of vulnerability, personal growth, and the challenge of letting go of the past to embrace the future.
