The Score

The Score by Elle Kennedy is a fast-paced college romance set at Briar U, blending sharp banter, plenty of heat, and surprising heart. This is hockey romance at its most moreish: fun on the surface, with real emotional weight underneath.

Allie Hayes is staring down graduation with no plan and a freshly bruised love life. A single night with campus hockey star Dean Di Laurentis feels like the perfect reset—until Dean decides “one and done” isn’t in his playbook. What starts as friends with benefits quickly becomes complicated as boundaries blur, expectations shift, and both of them are forced to reckon with what they actually want.

Perfect for readers who love new adult romance, rivals-to-lovers energy, friends with benefits tension, and stories about finding your direction after uni.

Add it to your cart if you’re craving a bingeable Briar U read that delivers laughs, longing, and genuine growth.
