Scoring Sutton

A Reverse Grumpy/Sunshine Sports Romance (Waverly Wildcats, Book 3)

By: Jennifer Bonds

Narrated by: Tim Paige, Stacy Gonzalez

DJ Parker is a Grade A Pr*ck…

The guy struts around campus like he’s God’s gift to Wildcat football, but I know the truth.

He’s arrogant, obnoxious, and terrible in bed.

Two years ago, we hooked up and the only memorable thing about it was the fact that he called me the wrong name and ghosted me afterward. So when he moves in next door, who could blame me for wanting a little revenge?

Too bad my prank didn’t go as planned. Now my gymnastics scholarship is on the line and I’m stuck playing Waverly’s mascot for the rest of the semester.

The only thing worse than the fur suit? Cheering for the guy who shattered my confidence.

Parker is everywhere I look these days, and time has done nothing to diminish our chemistry, so when he vows to redeem himself and suggests an enemies-with-benefits arrangement, I’m down.

After all, Parker and I will never be anything more… Not when we’re fighting for the same internship. Only one of us can finish first, and this time, it’s going to be me.

Note: Scoring Sutton is a spicy second chance new adult sports romance with reverse grumpy/sunshine, enemies with benefits, and he falls first tropes.

DJ is such a cinnamon roll...❤️

Story -❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spice -🌶🌶
Narration -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Scoring Sutton is book #3 in the Waverly Wildcats sports romance series. Sutton Cruz is a gymnast with a severe dislike for football players. DJ Parker doesn't recognize Sutton as a previous, disastrous hook-up and is baffled why she hates him so much. When a prank goes wrong, Sutton must take over the mascot duties which includes all the football games. This series is amazing and DJ/Sutton's story didn't disappoint. The reverse grumpy/sunshine, enemies with benefits rom-com is full of hilarious banter, heartwarming moments, and some angsty/slow-burn spice that hits just right.

The dual narration is so good. I'm a big fan of Tim Paige as he can deliver the comedy like a pro. Stacy Gonzalez is relatively new to me but I certainly enjoyed her voice. 5/5 stars!

Thank you so much pinup audio and the author for the ALC

Enemies To Lovers Gold!

Scoring Sutton is the third audiobook in the Waverly Wildcats series by Jennifer Bonds. This is a new adult, reverse grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, neighbors to lovers, he falls first, college sports romance novel with a neurodivergent MMC and a Latina FMC. Sutton Cruiz was a gymnast and DJ Parker a football player at Waverly University. After almost no contact since her freshman year, suddenly Parker was everywhere she went and she couldn’t seem to escape him. As a freshman, she had hooked up with Parker, who called her the wrong name, was terrible in bed, ghosted her the next day, and shattered her confidence. In her anger, Sutton made a poor choice that stood to jeopardize her spot on the gymnastics team and her scholarship unless a she agreed to community service that placed her at every football game. Parker proposed an enemies with benefits arrangement in order to redeem his lackluster performance, and even though they were rivals for a sports broadcasting internship, Sutton was helpless to say no. The more time they spent together, the less Parker seemed like an enemy. This was a cute, funny, audiobook with two very lovable characters whose choices were colored by their past experiences. It was impossible not to enjoy their snappy banter and the ways they built each other up. The narrators were perfect in this dual POV audiobook. Tim Paige did a great job narrating the lovable Parker and Stacy Gonzalez made an excellent fiery Latina. The couples’ chemistry was off the charts and the book as spicy as Sutton’s audiobooks! I definitely recommend this audiobook for listeners who enjoy a good new adult, dual sports romcom, but it is also available in kindleunlimited for those that would prefer the ebook instead.

Thank you to Pinup Audio for providing this free ALC. I am voluntarily sharing this honest review.

DJ might just be my fave of this series!!!!

Seriously, I loved Austin and Cooper BUT DJ man there was just something about him! This series is so cute, and the stories just get better and better! And I absolutely loved hearing Sutton’s Spanish comments when she’d get mad/annoyed ect. Tim Paige and Stacy Gonzalez nailed the narration! 10/10 recommend!!!

these two are perfection

Sutton is a sassy Latina D1 gymnast who happens to dispise our boy DJ Parker. So when she ends put living in the same part of campus as the football team and avoiding him becomes nearly impossible, she is faced with her worst nightmare; involuntary interactions with Parker on a regular basis.

When Parker first interacts with Sutton he's instantly intrigued by her, from her blue hair and piercings to her clear disdain for him, he can't quite figure out why the chip on her shoulder is so big and how it could relate to him when - in his mind - they're complete strangers.

Sutton knows they have a sorted past, and she is willing to hold it against him for as long as she lives. But everywhere she turns, she runs into him. Not just at home but at the gym and even forced into being partners for a shared class, her resolve starts to dwindle, and little by little, Parker charms his way into her good graces. They find a way to work out their past and decide to be FWB as their chemistry is so damn HOT! Watching them both let down their guards and build a relationship while their determined to keep things casual was endearing. And when they realize it's love, they go all in, choosing each other and celebrating in their successes.

Stacy Gonzales and Tim Paige delivered wonderful performances. As a Latina, props to Stacy for fantastic pronunciation-we love BIPOC rep! And Tim has a charismatic cadence to his voice that leads well to characters like DJ. Such a fun read!!
