Synopsis :

“You may be faking the relationship, but you’re not faking the orgasms.”


Downsized, broke, and dumped, 38-year-old Marley sneaks home to her childhood bedroom in the town she couldn’t wait to escape twenty years ago. Not much has changed in Culpepper. The cool kids are still cool. Now they just own car dealerships and live in McMansions next door. Oh, and the whole town is still talking about that Homecoming she ruined her senior year.

Desperate for a new start, Marley accepts a temporary teaching position. Can the girl banned from all future Culpepper High Homecomings keep the losing-est girls soccer team in school history from killing each other and prevent carpal tunnel in a bunch of phone-clutching gym class students?

Maybe with the help of Jake Weston, high school bad boy turned sexy good guy. When the school rumor mill sends Marley to the principal’s office to sign an ethics contract, the tattooed track coach, dog dad, and teacher of the year becomes her new fake boyfriend and alibi—for a price. The Deal: He’ll teach her how to coach if she teaches him how to be in a relationship.

Who knew a fake boyfriend could deliver such real orgasms? But it’s all temporary. The guy. The job. The team. There’s too much history. Rock bottom can’t turn into a foundation for happily ever after. Can it?

Warning: Story also includes a meet-puke, a bouffanted nemesis, a yard swan and donkey basketball, a teenage-orchestrated makeover, and a fake relationship that gets a little too real between the sheets.



MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫


REVIEW

38 year old Marley is back in her hometown, Culpepper, Pennsylvania. How did she get her? Back in childhood room, surrounded by her childhood tramas and bullies.

Marley is homeless, broke and jobless so that’s why she has to come back home. She’s hired by her former high school to be the girls soccer coach for the semester , but honestly doesn’t want to do, but what other choice does she have.

Once she’s on the job, there is Jake Weston , the high school history teacher and boys cross country coach. And he just happens to be a boy that Marley once had a thing for in high school.

Once a certain incident causes them to force a fake relationship, it becomes painfully obvious that there still might be some high school feelings there. Thing is, neither one wants to admit it to each other and it leads to some pretty funny stories.

Romantic comedies are my jam and Lucy Score definitely delivers on this. I love Marley and Jake was literally to die for. Like I kept picturing this hot, sweaty runner and hat thought made me happy 😊 One of my favorite parts is the rivalry that still is going strong between Marley and a girl from high school, who also happens to be a teacher at the high school.

You want romance? You want to laugh? Want to feel a little snarky with some hilarious pranks? I definitely recommend you pick up “Rock Bottom Girl” and read it as soon as possible.
