This was such a romantic story, and I enjoyed every minute of it. There was one main romance, with a couple of "side" romances with other characters. I was rapt in all three. The characters were believable, and the author wrote in a way that made the story flow really well. I love when a story can make me laugh out loud, and more than once, this one did just that! It was a great heartwarming romance, that was very classy too! A very entertaining read, and a recommendation by me!! ( )

How to Score is a contemporary romance featuring Sammi Matthews, a museum curator, whose life is a bit of mess. She contacts a life coach to help her ’score at the game of life’, but Luke has to get out of town in a hurry, so he enlists his brother Chase to take over his life coaching duties while he’s away. While trying to help Sammi, Chase inadvertently falls head over heels for her, and romance ensues!

I feel I should preface this review by saying that I’m not a huge fan of the straight-up romance genre. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good romance – and I was looking forward to reading How to Score – but there has to be something more going on than just the romance for me to be really drawn into the story. And that’s where How to Score fell short for me. I found the characters to be enjoyable, and the dialogue flowed well, but chapter after chapter of “he’s sooo hot! / she’s sooo hot!” left me wanting more. And I don’t mean more romantic angst, but more plot, action, story… something. But, for those of you who enjoy a cute, well-written romantic comedy and aren’t looking for anything else to muddy up the romance, you’ll most likely enjoy How to Score. ( )

"How to Score" is a cute, romantic comedy by Robin Wells. This contemporary combines a museum curator and an FBI agent filling in for his brother the life coach. When a fairly new customer calls, he's entranced by her voice and then her dog engineers a meeting and the fun ensues. Now he's her life coach by evening and falling in love with her by day!

The dog was one of my favorite characters in this story...I just wish he'd had more ink! Wells pulls all the subplots together, adds a touch of hot attraction and comes up with a fun read to while away a few hours. ( )

Synopsis:
Sammi Matthews has had awful luck with men. After the bad breakup with her ex- eighteen months ago, Sammi has somehow injured every man that she's been interested in. A black eye, a broken rib, and a broken leg, it is no wonder that she's ready to see a life coach to get her love life in order. So, drawn to an ad in the newspaper, Sammi calls Luke for help.

FBI Special Agent Chase Jones is Luke's older brother. He's also the reason that Luke has had to go into Witness Protection for a few months. To make up for the upheaval in his brother's life, Chase agrees to takeover some of Luke's clients. As he talks Sammi through her problems and trust issues, he's drawn to her. Against his common sense, Chase finds a way to see Sammi - then he falls for her and somehow it's never the right time to tell her that Luke and Chase are the same man.

Review:
How to Score read like a fun romantic comedy movie. As a leading man, Chase was very likable with his slightly obsessive drive for neatness and control, his difficult childhood and great looks. I can clearly see why Sammi would take it into her hands to get his attention. Sammi sounded like a wonderful fit for Chase as well with her warmth, generosity, and passion for life. The situation is a bit difficult to swallow, but if you suspend your disbelief, How to Score is a fun summer read. ( )

Meet Sammi, museum curator. What is there about her and the men she dates?
Seems she puts them all on the injury list--either a black eye, breaking another’s ribs …Is she just a klutz, or does she get so nervous on a date she Murphy’s Law prevails in her life.

Seems personal help is on the menu. As she finds “Her Life Coach”, Luke Jones, his advice seems to help her. When she meets Sexy FBI Agent Chase Jones, he seems to know just what she needs.

Luke Jones, Chase Jones………Yep. Brothers. Luke is in a witness protection program, and big brother offers to take over his clients for him while he is out of pocket, so to speak.

With Chase dating Sammi by night and her life coach advising her during the day, will she find out who he really is? She has already injured him a few times. Will he still want to be with her? Will she feel cheated if she learns the truth about him?

This is a delightful mixture of humor and romance that will keep you turning the pages. This is my first time of reading a book by this author. She knows how to keep the story line going. ( )
