The Score

The Score by Elle Kennedy is a contemporary romance novel that follows Hannah Davenport, a rebellious economics major at Briar U, and Garrett Graham, the charming captain of the hockey team. Their unlikely connection unfolds as Hannah takes on a tutoring job to help Garrett maintain his grades, leading to an escalating game of seduction and emotional vulnerability between two people determined not to let anyone close.

Published in 2016, this novel expands Kennedy's Briar U universe with a slow-burn romance that balances wit, tension, and genuine character depth. The story explores themes of trust, self-protection, and the vulnerability required to build a meaningful relationship. Kennedy's dialogue crackles with chemistry, while her dual narrative structure provides insight into both protagonists' perspectives and defensive strategies.

The book appeals to readers seeking contemporary romance with substance - where the attraction between characters is as much intellectual as it is physical, and where character arcs matter as much as the central relationship. Part of a connected series, it can be read standalone.
