In Score Her Heart we meet Aaron Riley and Fiona Gallagher. Their families are close and they have been best friends plus since high school. They are in Vegas for Fiona’s wedding to her longtime boyfriend who has decided that he doesn’t want to get married after all. Riley, of course, is there for his bestie and he convinces her that she should get married anyway, to him. It only takes a few moments of sobriety for her to realize that marrying her best friend on the rebound might not be the smartest move, but Riley has been in love with her forever and he is determined to show her they belong together.

I will admit the “jilted/marry someone else in Vegas” trope is not one I usually find enjoyable or believable. However, in this case, Riley is so earnest that I was on board from the start. Riley is another great leading man. Proving that he and Fi should be together forever sounds great in theory, but actually making it work with real-world obstacles is something else. Riley rises to the occasion the best way he knows how and he drags Fi along for the ride. It is good reading. This book takes place in time with book one so I was anticipating the juicy details of Riley and Fi’s story from the beginning and I really enjoyed getting to see elements from Noah and Dinah’s story retold from a different perspective in this book.
