Even the Score

Tall, Dark, and Texan, Book 1

By: Kate Meader

Narrated by: Marnye Young

He'll make her an offer she can't refuse....

Actress Tess McKenzie is performing in the Tenth Circle of Showbiz Hell - dinner theater. All she really wants is to start a theater of her own. Then Tess receives an offer she can't refuse. She'll get her funding...if she pretends to be the fiancee to her nemesis, Texan property tycoon Hunter Dade. If she's going to pull this off, she'll need all the luck she can get. Break a leg, indeed.

On the verge of a big business deal, Hunter needs to hire a fiancee. He hasn't quite forgiven Tess for ruining his wedding, but when their chemistry goes from combative to straight-up lust, the "no sex" clause in their mutually beneficial arrangement is tested. Which is a serious problem, because if Tess isn't careful, she'll go from breaking a leg to breaking her heart....

Contains mature themes.

Hotter than Rookie Rebels

I loved Kate Meander’s hockey series, Rookie Rebels, and was excited for a new series with Texas charm. Even the Score did not disappoint. In fact its frequent, steamy scenes were a welcomed surprise. I love Meader’s twists and turns that freshen up give common story plots.

OK-Not My Favorite

I just worked my way through all her hockey series books, which I loved and decided to try another series she had written. This first one is, unfortunately, not doing it for me. It feels like it sort of jumps in without having developed the characters and back story enough. Narration is OK, no major issues with it.
