Most Likely To Score: A Forbidden Workplace Standalone Sports Romance (The Dating Games Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Lauren Blakely (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 1,809 ratings
Editors' pick Best Romance

I’ve been daydreaming about the off-limits player for years, and resisting him just got harder...

As the team’s publicist, I desperately need a football player to be the face of our charity calendar. Turns out our one-time party boy receiver Jones Beckett needs a savvy PR woman to manage his new good guy rep.

Sounds like a simple give and take, even though I’ll be traveling around the country, snapping pictures of the sexy athlete holding rescue kittens and puppies. Still, I’m dedicated to my job, so I'll stick to my iron-clad rule -- don't date a player. And never ever fall for one. No matter how charming, big-hearted and devilishly clever the man is.

Once I start spending my off-season days and nights with Jones, I'm following a brand new playbook, one that has me falling hard for the incorrigible flirt -- heart, body and mind.

But my job is at stake, and I can’t afford to lose that as well as my heart.

I spark from that touch. I’m a live wire, and I could power whole cities tonight. “Because you’re mine.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars 5 STARS! Sweet & steamy sports romance!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018

    Romantic comedies are my favorite stories to read, and when I want to curl up with one, Lauren Blakely’s are what come to my mind first. Whatever the trope, her spin on a romcom never fails to satisfy my craving, never lets me down and just seems to give me everything I’m hoping for when I pick one up. If you haven’t read Lauren Blakely’s work yet, and you’re a fan of the genre, then you’re truly missing out. I could wax poetic for hours about why you need to get her books in your hands, but I’ll sum it up with a simple fact. Blakely consistently crafts fantastically-written stories that are hot, hilarious and full of heartwarming romance. There’s so much more to them than just that, though, so do yourself a favor and read one of them.

    Most Likely to Score was charming and passionate, and it pulled me in from page one. Part forbidden workplace romance, part sports romance, Blakely gave her readers a fabulous couple to root for with a relatable, realistic heroine and a swoon worthy, sexy hero. Jones Beckett was a hero with so much heart – for the game of football, for the animals he donated his time to help and for the woman who captured his heart. A celebrated receiver on a winning NFL team, he needed to remake his public persona in the wake of one too many off-the-field fumbles. Hoping to turn the media’s attention from him as a playboy to him as a star player, he enlists the help of team publicist, Jillian Moore.

    Jillian has worked hard to build her stellar reputation as the Renegades’ squeaky-clean, whip smart PR director. She has earned the respect of her bosses, the players and the reporters—no small feat in the male dominated world of professional football. Harboring what she mistakenly assumes is an unrequited crush on Jones, she steps up to help create a more wholesome image of the pro baller, starting with a charitable project that has them working closely together. The problem is that the more time she spends with him, the less she sees him as the notoriously flirty, deliciously ripped, pretty face she’s been crushing on. She discovers a rough and tender side to Jones, and it’s an intoxicating combination that she’s no longer sure she can—or wants to—resist.

    Sweet and steamy, with just the right amount of angst, Blakely scored a touchdown with this hard-won love story. Tapping my Kindle furiously and smiling the whole way through, I devoured this story that I simply did not want to put down. Most Likely to Score by Lauren Blakely gets five smooches from me!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Jones and Jillian
    Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2025

    Sweet, fun and sexy! I loved this story. Jillian was the PR manager for Jones football team. She has had a crush on Jones forever, but never let him know. She needed to stay professional. Jones on the other hand has also had a crush on Jillian. He had been try as hard as he could to get her attention. He thought she just wasn’t interested. When the idea came up for John to do a calendar with puppies and kittens in order to promote rescue, adoption Jones and Julian were thrown together for my length of time. When they had to take a trip from California to Miami, that is when they let their feelings be known for each other. They decided that for now they would keep it under wraps. As time went on, they realize it would be too hard to hide how they felt about each other. They no longer wanted to do that. They wanted to be honest with their jobs and their sponsors and let them know they were serious about being together forever.
    Eventually, they keep clean to everybody that they were serious and this was it for them. It was a good story with good background. I loved their cultural differences and how they talked about them and shared them with each other. I would love to read the next story from this author.

    Flirting. I love to flirt. My husband will flirt with me sometimes, but he's not really very good at it. Lol. (Shhhh. Don't tell him I told you.) I love how Jones and Jillian flirt with one another...even before they share with each other how they feel about the other. There's a lot of great things to love about a good Flirting session. Jones and Jillian do it so very well.

    I really enjoyed Jones and Jillian. The dynamic between these two was electric. I liked that he had the player persona, yet not many people knew his true self. Jillian's crush continued to grow as she worked more closely with Jones on the Sport Illustrated body issue and the calendar. I loved that she user those working opportunities to get closer to him, and he felt the same. Their story was very entertaining, and I really enjoyed it.

    The Romance Line has a similar plot and is better written. There isn't any reason to read Most Likely to Score published January 8, 2018 and The Romance Line published October 2, 2024. The Romance line is the better book. It has more depth than Most Likely to Score.

    Book an appointment with your dentist, as Jillian and Jones' story is so darn sweet it will give you a toothache.

    I have adored Ms Blakely's male POV stories, however it was nice to go back to dual POV for a little while.

    Most Likely To Score is full of fun and flirty banter, laced with a huge dose of UST. Serious sexual tension that you can cut with a knife. **still fanning myself**

    At times Jones kinda loses his man card with his amazingness, but he earns it all back - with extra (this could just be me though)

    I love that Jones really likes to be at one with nature. Poor Jillian - I know I would never ever have her willpower!

    What I really liked is that there is no drama for drama's sake. No OTT tragedy in their pasts (sure, they have their problems but who doesn't?) Nope, we are focused on our lovelies and them working towards a relationship when it all seems like it's a bad idea)

    So hands off (I am talking about you Bianca!) I am taking this Jones as mine!

    Can't wait to see what Ms Blakely brings us next.

    Este é o segundo standalone sobre os atletas do time de futebol Renegades e Lauren Blakely acerta em cheio mais uma vez.
    A trama é meio que um “romance de escritório esportivo”: Jones e Jillian (ele é atleta e ela a relações públicas) trabalham para o mesmo time o que traz dúvidas e inseguranças em misturar trabalho e romance. Ambos vem nutrindo um interesse mútuo já há algum tempo, mas mantiveram a distância por não se sentirem correspondidos.
    A trama e o desenvolvimento da história diferem muito pouco dos últimos romances da autora, mas esse aspecto em nada tira o interesse do livro. Certeza de diversão com um casal de protagonistas charmosos e envolventes, cenas super românticas e final feliz garantido fazem deste livro uma aposta sem riscos ou sustos.
    Mesmo a “romance trope” pra lá de conhecida não é capaz de empalidecer o talento da autora de quem sou fã declarada.
    Recomendo, com certeza, para quem procura um romance leve e engraçado, com ótima caracterização e uma trama que avança sem deixar o leitor com raiva dos personagens. Não perca.
