“Looking to Score is like the book equivalent of comfort food- goes down easy and leaves you feeling full and content. This book is funny, charming, heart-warming, insanely clever, and JUST what we need. I simply LOVED it and could not put it down.” ~The Romantic Rush Blog
He’s like literally the worst.
Oakley Davis is the star running back at our University, and the reason I’ve broken my vow to avoid the college party scene. Thanks to a mixup with my advisor, I’m now serving my Public Relations internship as a glorified babysitter to the party-hard football players.
Specifically, Oakley.
He’s impossible to manage. His Instagram is full of half-naked, drunk photos and he’d rather attend parties than practice. His brand needs some serious work, and when he’s not driving me insane, he’s sleeping his way through the entire female population.
But I’m determined. I have plans to graduate a semester early and nothing or no one will get in my way. I’m a Virgo, after all. Oakley Davis might be a privileged, cocky, football star, but I’m Amanda Matthews; and I’ll do whatever it takes to get my A.
I have to make sure I don’t end up falling in love with the idiot, first.

MY REVIEW
To say that Amanda and Oakley's first meeting did not go well is an understatement. She's his new publicist, having been tasked to clean up his image for her internship. Oakley's first thought is the girl is out of her mind crazy, and trying to drive him batty. Which she does, handily. But not just because she invades his privacy, bosses him around, but because she's different from all the other women who orbit around him. She doesn't care that he's the hot jock, she just wants to keep him from ruining his image further, so it will help her graduate early. All her resistance to his charm is intriguing. Now he just has to figure out how to get her to see past his image and fall for him the way he's fallen for her.

Well, I really didn't expect this story to be more than the usual New Adult. Oh sure, its got the same New Adult themes - hot, cocky hero being brought to his knees by the sassy heroine, but it's also more. There are themes in here that aren't always present in New Adult - body image issues, issues of bullying, issues of acceptance and rejection. Weighty issues that are dealt with in a firm but not overbearing manner, and it added depth to what could have been fluff. Yes, this is a rom-com, and parts of it (mainly Amanda and her insanely witty, snarky dialogue) are literally laugh out loud funny, but it's also got substance to go along with the sexual tension and the smokin chemistry. I loved these two together and can't wait to read more from this writing duo.

I have always loved to read. In kindergarten, I was the weird kid sitting in the reading nook by myself instead of trying to get more snacks. I’m excited to be putting my own voice on the page and watching a story I helped create come to life. I still love to read, but I also really like snacks.
I grew up in Chicago but recently moved back to the Dallas area where I live with my husband and son.
I have my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I spent a year researching chimpanzees and gorillas while I was in Chicago and then I spent another two months on a chimpanzee sanctuary trying to convince headstrong chimps to cooperate. Pro tip - grapes are a pretty hot bargaining tool. They work wonders with my toddler too.
