The Art of Seduction #4
Triple Score
Knowing the score…
Prima ballerina Noelle Nelson needs to recover from her injury and return to the stage. She won't consider failure…or be distracted by baseball's resident bad boy, Jace Monroe. His tattoos, wicked smile and deliciously athletic body might drive her crazy, but a media frenzy is the last thing this good girl needs.
Jace is sick with fear that his own injury will never heal, but he's not about to let anyone notice, especially the gorgeous blonde dancer he loves to infuriate. He's pushing himself past his physical capacity, putting his future at risk. Still, when it comes to making a play for Noelle, Jace is in scoring position—and he's not going to back down!

Sometimes, you just want to read a romance. Harlequin and Regina Kyle are go-to for me when I just want to read something that I will enjoy, that will have a good storyline, and will bring the heat and the fun.
This was an enemies to lovers, sort of...Noelle and Jace don't have the best 1st or 2nd impressions of one another, a fact that requires her to keep apologizing to him...badly. But their chemistry is off the charts, his efforts to woo her are charming and you definitely see where the appeal is for her.
The author resolved the issues with their injuries in a way that worked and left me feeling like it was a HEA in which you believed in the future for the characters. And, sometimes, what you need is a well-written story with heat, likable characters and a HEA you believe in...and this is what you get.
I recommend this book.

Took me a while to feel the chemistry between these two - otherwise cute. Review coming
July 5, 2016
The minute their paths cross Noelle Nelson knows that cocky ball player Jace Monroe will bring her nothing but trouble... but why is so hard for her to resist him!! He infuriates her to no end, and is always looking for ways to push her buttons, but if she's really being truthful she enjoys being on the receiving end of it!!
Jace Monroe is use to woman falling at his feet, but the minute he runs into the stunning ballerina at their shared rehab office, and she doesn't fall all over herself to gain his attention he thinks he losing his touch! No matter what sexy line he throws down it seems as thought she is immune to his playboy charm, and he can't stand it, he always gets what he wants and he wants her in his bed! She's feisty, sexy, and he's desperate to score her attention... and maybe even her heart too!
The moment I started this sexy little read I knew I was in for a real literary treat, barely a chapter into it Ms. Kyle's endearing characters had me smiling from ear to ear, and flying through the pages as fast as I could devour them! I love a good enemies to lovers story and this one is definitely one of the best I have read in quite a while, the banter between these two had me laughing out loud one moment and reaching for a fan the next, Ms. Kyle definitely has a knack for creating amazingly funny one-liners intermixed with hilarious spicy references! I loved every minute of it, and look forward to getting my hands on more books from the Art of Seduction series!!

Regina Kyle hits another one out of the ball park! I've enjoyed all the books in Kyle's Art of Seduction series and this one is no exception. The characters sizzle with chemistry and witty banter. The storyline is quick but complete. And the steam heats up the page like only Kyle can do. I loved seeing snips of former characters from her previous books in this one, all happy and still ecstatically together. I hope this author continues with this series or starts another one. Her stories are a must read in my book!

Are you looking for a contemporary romance that hits all the spots without too much angst? Triple Score is probably for you. It centers around a prima ballerina and a major league baseball star who meet in physical therapy. Right off the bat we have two driven people with physically demanding jobs, so they mesh right away. Unfortunately these types of physically demanding jobs also require them to live in different cities and travel for much of the year - meaning that the conflict (as you probably guessed) is more lifestyle choice than major angst.
Our MCs finally figure it out with some help from their family and friends. This is a basic but enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

I'm always up for a sports romance and this one fits the bill. Two injured athletes - a ballerina and a baseball player. When they fall for each other during rehab their chemistry is off the charts. What will happen when family obligations get in the way and doubt kick in?
Don't miss this super steamy read.

Tipinis romaniūkštis, lengvai ir greitai susiskaitė. Tačiau pats tas, tokių romanų kartais reikia. Įdomus, graži meilės istorija, nors ir greitas siužetas, be įtampos, bet patiko.

Noelle Nelson had to focus on her knee. She had to rehab and get back out on the floor to dance. After all her family had turned to weddings and babies and what did she have? A career dancing if her knee didn’t keep her sidelined and her last relationship was such a joke looking back on it that the pain and humiliation was all she still felt. So that was why she was hiding out at the best rehab center focusing on her leg and getting moving again quickly.
Jace Monroe had hurt his elbow before. There was going to be nothing to this rehab thing then, right? Except this time was different and he felt it. He didn’t know why but he just wasn’t sure he was going to be able to make it back on the field doing the one thing he knew he was good at, playing ball. So he was back at the rehab center pushing to get going and get back sooner rather than later.
What starts as a series of comical errors leads to Jace and Noelle spending more and more time together and with that these two non-relationship people start to change their thinking. When the tire hits the road that will be the test for these two.
This is the last in the Nelson series and that is incredibly sad. While this book can be read as a standalone it does full circle several characters and Ms. Kyle has done a wonderful thing and given us some new characters to look out for and hopefully see in future books. The story flows smoothly, breathes life into letters on the page and allows for dreamers to realize sometimes it’s not about obtaining the goal, it’s about what you do when you get there and realize there are other paths to take. Do yourself a favor and pick this up, but be aware you might not be able to put it down until you’ve finished with this HEA.

It's FINALLY Noelle's turn to fall in love!
Every book in this series so far has been wonderful, though I am a bit partial to sinfully delicious lawyer Gabe and his sexy firefighter best friend Cade.
But then Noelle meets Jace, a baseball player, one of my ultimate weaknesses.
He's sexy, confident, and knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. No matter how much Noelle tries to deny her attraction, she can't seem to stay away. And the result will be plenty of scenes burning up your kindle.
But it's not all about that. The story itself is beautiful. Both characters grow and change as the story unfolds, showing that things might start out one way but take on a life of their own where matters of the heart are involved.
LOVED this book! I've been a fan of Harlequin Blaze for a long time now, and Regina Kyle's stories are fantastic. I'd recommend picking this one up. It's a stand-alone, but if you want to get to know the rest of the Nelson family a little better before you read this, it's highly worth it.
The Nelson's stories may all be told, but Jace has a couple of sexy baseball playing friends that are just itching to have their stories told too and I can't wait!

What starts out as a distraction for both Jace and Noelle, quickly turns into more. Jace has never had a serious relationship, but there is something about Noelle that draws him and keeps him wanting to spend time with her. We goes above and beyond what she expects from a fling, and before she realizes it, her heart is involved. Jace has an incredibly sweet side to go with this sexy side, and that made me love him even more. Neither expected to develop feelings for each other, but when the time comes for them to go home to opposites side of the country, their relationship is tested. I loved this story and there is enough humor that made it fun. I loved the scenes toward the beginning of the book that find Noelle walking in on Jace in "compromising" situations. I haven't read all of the previous books, so this can be read as a standalone, but I plan on reading them and finding out how Noelle's siblings found their HEA.

He's cocky ... she's feisty ... and together they ignite! Such a fun read! I smiled, I chuckled, I awwww'ed, and most of all, I devoured every word and lived their hook up right along with them!
Who would have thought a rehab center would be the it place in town to find romance? Prima ballerina Noelle Nelson and hotshot pro baseball player Jace Monroe certainly didn't go there looking, but they had fun warming up the sheets one they stumbled across each other!
Noelle is doing everything her physical therapist tells her to do in order to be able to get back to dancing as soon as possible. She certainly doesn't need any distractions, but she can't resist sexy bad boy Jace Monroe when he arrives to rehab his elbow!
Will they get enough motion back to return to their careers? And if they do, that's across the country from each other ... will their romance survive or was it just a temporary fling?

This is the fourth and last in the Art of Seduction series. It's the story of Jace Monroe, a bad boy baseball star trying to mend after an injury and Noelle, sister of the Nelson's in the rest of the series. Noelle is a dedicated dancer who is also working to overcome an injury at a clinic away from it all.
At first they clash, but as they get to know each other, they discover the preconceptions drop away and chemistry kicks in. Kyle writes hot and with humour so it's quite a journey with these two who have their own challenges to face. Whether they face them together, is a big question for most of the book.
I really enjoyed this read and it was nice to catch up with some of the other characters from the series. Jace and Noelle work well together and the tie up is believable and satisfying.

This is definitely an excellent book to read after a long day, absolutely hilarious and romantic. Noelle seems to have a knack for being in the wrong place at the right time. When she catches the other main character Jace in his room with a blow-up doll I thought I would die laughing. I'm a sucker for funny, heartwarming romance with a happy ending.
Told by both main characters, well thought out, flowed beautifully, and well written.
I must say that my heart does break for Jace when he has to give up his dreams. I'm so glad that he didn't wallow is self pity for long. He bounces back with new dreams and goes after what he wants. It's a good read for everyone who loves a good romance. I for one am definitely ready to read more books by this author!

Valutazione dell’estratto di Amazon. L’incipt è carino. Chissà se riuscirò mai a recuperare questo libro. È una trama leggera, ma piacevole. In wishlist.
Mi piace leggere libretti leggeri e non ne faccio mistero. Ogni tanto una bella pizza (leggi “romanzo impegnato”) ci vuole, ma piluccare qualche patatina di tanto in tanto male non fa. Ecco. Questo romanzo è come una patatina poco croccante e insipida. Non basta mettere due personaggi dentro una storia, bisogna anche farla funzionare. E non basta descrivere minuziosamente le scene erotiche come se facessero parte di un romanzo di genere. Sembrano più che altro piazzate a spot qua e là, per fare sensazione. Insomma, dopo la prima quadrupla (!) consumazione, nonostante la terapia riabilitativa dei due protagonisti e la loro figaggine, saluto Regina sbadigliando.

A fun, satisfying romance read. Noelle and Jace are both athletes recovering from injuries at a rehabilitation facility. They both live for their careers and on separate coasts and are not looking to start a relationship, just have some fun while they're there. Of course, things don't always go according to plan. They're both great characters that are a lot of fun to read. Noelle kept having some interesting moments walking in on Jace. And Jace wasn't quite the bad boy everyone thinks. There were some funny parts that had me laughing out loud. Very entertaining. Noelle is the last of her siblings to find love. They each have their own book and I'll have to go check them out. I loved this one.

Noelle Nelson is no stranger to hard work and focus - as a prima ballerina, it's become her life. A humiliating breakup and injury force her to flee to a private rehab facility where she's determined to get well and get her life back on track - no distractions. Star baseball player Jace Monroe always gets what he wants - and he's set his goal on rehabbing his injured throwing arm so he can get back in uniform. Sparks fly as the two collide in this hot romance by Regina Kyle! Will the bad boy with tattoos strike out with the lithe dancer from New York, or will he score a home run? This is a delightful addition to the Art of Seduction series.

Didn't want to put this one down! I haven't read the previous titles in the series, but I'm going to go find them! Regina Kyle writes a GOOD book! Triple Score was a story about two different types of athletes, one a ballerina, one a baseball player, who seem to have nothing in common. But after some run-ins during their rehabilitations, they find out that they have more in common than sultry looks and sassy banter. Pick this one up! You won't put it down until you're done!

Jace and Noelle. The cocky pitcher and the ice princess ballerina, a match made in heaven if you ask me. I love reading a story where one or both characters fight the attraction. Jace was really funny when he was calling Noelle on her attraction early on. They are both in similar positions in their lives when they meet.
I really enjoyed reading Triple Score. It was a sweet story with a little bit of naughtiness.

Received for an honest opinion.
I genuinely enjoyed this book. I liked the different perspective of ballet it gave but I wished there was more with Noelle's former relationship. It was made a big deal of but not really mentioned. I also really enjoyed Jace, though I thought more detail could've been given on his injury. It seemed like it played a minor role, when it really didn't.
But I liked the relationship between them, Jace is a new favourite! A very enjoyable read.

Well isn't Jace the Sweetest his smart remarks, “you don’t say.” He crossed his arms in front of his chest and eyed her up and down, not bothering to hide the glint of raw appreciation in his gaze. “Explains why you fell through the door, landed on your *** and interrupted my workout.” Jace is like the damn energizer bunny, “no can do.” He fingered his already recovering ***k. “Little Jace is gearing up for round two.” I liked this book, I loved the hell out of Jace.

Sorry to hear there will be no more stories coming out of Regina's Art of Seduction series as her batting average has been darn near perfect on the four books.

Triple Score was hands down an amazing book. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Noelle and Jace meet at rehab and Noelle knows she should just stay away. However their attraction is just too hard to resist. They are drawn together and just can't stay away!
This was my first book by Regina Kyle and I know I will be picking up more in the future! If you want a true romance and light hearted than this book is a great choice!

I absolutely enjoyed his book. I was hooked from the beginning and couldn't put it down. Both Noelle and Jace are injured and meet in rehab. Noelle is sassy and feisty and doesn't fall easily to Jace's charm. Jace is sexy and cocky and the woman love him. Can he change Noelle's mind? The attraction is strong and the chemistry is hot!

Triple Score is a seriously funny and sexy read that is mostly light-hearted humor. I found myself chuckling throughout and enjoying the ride along with Jace and Noel. It's the perfect beach book and an easy read. The secondary characters are engaging and both H/h were well developed. Very enjoyable.
