Queen B’s Decree: Score on You really hit the spot for me. You take one broody “I hate everyone but you” retired hockey player and mix it with a “I escaped from a cult” innocent but wants to learn cutie, and you’ve got me reading a whole book entirely in one sitting.
Ridge was exceptionally swoony. Is he obsessive and slightly stalker-ish? Yes. Does he also go at Callie’s speed and wait for consent at every step? Yes. They were so good together: he pushes her to try new things and she brings out his protective side.
They begin their relationship through texting and it was the cutest thing to read. Callie’s exceptionally long and grammatically correct texts juxtaposed next to Ridge’s all lower case messages just made my heart melt.
The side characters banter was a little too much for me (Harper really pushed the envelope for me at times) but my love of Ridge and Callie overcame my annoyance of the side characters and Score on You was still a thoroughly enjoyable read.
