The Virgin Scorecard is a collection of novellas performed by your favorite romance narrators including: Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro, J.F. Harding and Katie Schorr, Tim Paige and Emma Wilder, Victoria Mei, Vanessa Edwin, Joe Arden and Erin Mallon, and Andi Arndt and Jakobi Diem....

This collection begins with Mr. Right Now and Captain Romance - two romances between virgins and athletes that completes the best-selling Rules of Love series.

Mr. Right Now: I’ve got a problem. After a dozen failed dates - but who’s counting - I’m done hunting for Mr. Right. I’m more than ready to cash in my V-card, and at this point I’ll gladly hand it over to Mr. Right Now.

When I go out with my friends for a night on the town, I bump into the perfect candidate. A guy from my past who kissed like a dream, but took off before we could say good-bye. The swoony, charming pro athlete is back in the city, and he’s as ready to help me with my project as he is to win baseball games. The next morning, I’m deliciously satisfied, and I know I’ve chosen wisely. But when he leaves again, I can’t stop wondering - what if Mr. Right Now is actually Mr. Right? And how do I get him back?

Captain Romance: I don’t have luck on my side when it comes to romance. That’s why I’m laser focused on my career as a sports reporter and making a mark as a woman in this tough field.

When one of the city’s baseball stars asks me to spend a night on the town, I have to draw the line. Just friends, I say. He’s good with that. Very good with that. So good that I start falling for my new friend. Of all the swoony, charming, thoughtful men in this big city, why is the one I want thoroughly off-limits? But if I want a chance with the guy they call Captain Romance, I’m going to have to put more than my heart on the line.

This collection also includes Kiss Your Tulips, Limo Bang, My Single-Versary, and Three Dates with You.

Love is everywhere

We have a book packed full of love with multi novellas that give us the stories for the side characters in the Rules of Love series. These novellas are flirty and fun and so entertaining. I listened to this book on audio so I not only got the pleasure of the stories but the added bonus of having multi narrators tell me their stories. You noticed I have used multi several times, there is a reason for that...

Jason Clarke, Rose Dioro, J.F. Harding, Katie Schorr, Tim Paige, Emma Wilder, Victoria Mei, Vanessa Edwin, Joe Arden, Erin Mallon, Andi Arndt, and Jakobi Diem are all wonderful to listen to. My ears and heart was so pleased. It is difficult to pick a favorite amongst this passion filled book as I loved them all. They are all so much fun and the characters are likeable and I loved listening.

One of the things I enjoy about this authors work is that the characters are always so real to me. I love how she intertwines the stories so that it is in fact like catching up with old friends and making new friends along the way. These characters live in a more perfect world than we sometimes do and it is nice to delve into a story and get all the feels that come with it. Love is not always easy for our couples but they always find their way to each other and we get to take the love journey with them. I also love that I can picture the locations our couples are at. There is enough details to the story that I can visualize it to where I can see it as I read or listen. That is the true art of a great author where you can envelope yourself into the story with the characters. This is a great collections of novellas that give us all of that. I highly recommend this book.

The Virgin Scorecard

Each novella is special.
I don’t always remember the main characters but once the story starts it does give just enough to make you remember why these side characters needed their own stories to be told.

Bk 1 – Old High School sweethearts! I love that, can we have more old High School sweethearts please! This was delicious!

Bk 2 – I love how strong our Heroine is and how she has her own rules and doesn’t let attraction get in the way. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes this was fantastic!

Bk 3 – I mean hello Holiday Romance, and wow he is smooth I did not see that coming I should have it was sweet and totally our Hero.

Bk 4 – This was far too short but I loved that we got a FF novella much needed. Loved that our Comedian was a fan of the Podcaster. ;)

Bk 5 – Ok the narrators and their accents this store was delicious for the ears. Our two bar owners fall for each other, yes please!

Bk 6 – Single-Versary, I loved it. I like rules and order so this was totally something could see. The fact that attraction and chemistry can’t be denied and you have to break the rules. Well it just happens.

The teaser was awesome for A Wild Card Kiss.
And then Limo Bang … WE NEED MORE OF THAT MALE NARRATOR! My word his voice is LUSH!

So fun!

Such fun! Each novella was filled with fantastic banter and characters and was wonderfully steamy. Mr. Right Now and Captain Romance are the longest and most developed, but all 7 novellas are worth your time and are all full of what we love about Lauren Blakely romance. I purchased the audiobook and there are so many great narrators featured- Jason Clarke, Rose Dioro, J.F. Harding, Katie Schorr, Tim Paige, Emma Wilder, Victoria Mei, Vanessa Edwin, Joe Arden, Erin Mallon, Andi Arndt, and Jakobi Diem all hit it out of the park. So enjoyable!

5 Star novella goodness!

I loved every single one of these little novellas! Pretty much everything I love best about Lauren Blakely’s books. Fun, funny, super steamy, phenomenal banter and characters you want to know.

Mr. Right Now
Shane & Clementine – I loved how they met again in the bar. So swoony and flirty! Their test messages made me smile so big! Rose Dioro and Jason Clarke were amazing in this!

Captain Romance
Sullivan & Erin
I think my favorite parts of this was when they went for their walk in the beginning. I also love that he listens to romance. Hell, I don’t know how Erin was able to resist him. I mean, the way he asks her “are you ok baby?” GAH! Katie Schorr and JF Harding were the perfect choice for Erin & Sullivan.

Kiss Your Tulips
Frankie & Drew
This was absolutely the cutest. So flirty and fun and the way he finally asks her out? OMG adorable! Emma Wilder & Tim Paige were so good with this little short.

Dogfishing
Nova and Matilda
This was fantastic! I wanted it to be longer! Victoria Mei was outstanding in this cute little story.

Three Dates with You
Maeve & Sam
I loved every moment of this even more than I did when I read it in print. Vanessa Edwin is amazing as always.

My Singleversary
Caleb & Skyler
I really enjoyed this one again just as much as the original version. Cute, flirty and sexy! I loved their little chats and not dates. Erin Mallon & Joe Arden did a great job!

Limo Bang
Marlo & Hudson
I mean, the title says it all! Marlo and Hudson are rival team owners with their own little private rivalry that gets pretty hot and they up the ante every time!
LOVED this one!!! Jakobi Diem & Andi Arndt were perfect in this!!!

Another fantastic collection from Queen LB!

The Virgin Scorecard is a tasty, sexy collection of novellas from The Rules of Love series by Lauren Blakely. Were you dying to know what happened with Shane? How about Sullivan and Erin? And there's even a few bonus stories that we didn't even know we needed! Each story was fun, flirty and sexy. Lauren gathered a top-notch cast of narrators to bring these characters to life.

Novella's till your heart burst with LOVE!!

In the Virgin Scorecard we are overflowing with all kinds of love from many characters you have wondered about. I spent hours blushing and fanning myself. This is exactly what my heart needed for these characters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The characters themselves.

What great stories. You just get a hint if their stories in the books. These finished them off with a flourish. Loved them all.

A fun listen

This book is a collection of novellas that include some of the side characters we've seen from other books. Overall I enjoyed getting to see these little glimpses into the secondary characters but sometimes it was difficult to remember which book I knew them from or what their situation was. I would recommend going back and re-reading the Rules of Love series before jumping into this one.

5 It’s a Lauren Blakely Dream Come True Stars!!!

I FREAKING LOVED these stories so much!! We get six, yes you read that right SIX stories/novellas from Ms. Blakely with this compilation that is narrated by the amazing Jason Clarke, Rose Dioro, J.F. Harding, Katie Schorr, Tim Paige, Emma Wilder, Victoria Mei, Vanessa Edwin, Joe Arden, Erin Mallon, Andi Arndt and Jakobi Diem!

With each novella we get the stories of some of the secondary characters from Ms. Blakely’s Men of Summer series. I loved how the stories all inter-connected and were running somewhat simultaneously to each other. There’s no lack of heat in any of the stories, but the overwhelming emotion that I felt with each story is how swoony, sexy and witty they were. Each H/h are so perfectly paired with each other.

These stories are a must read/listen as they’re absolutely put an immediate smile on your face and joy in your ears as all of Ms. Blakely’s words come to life with all the emotions she’s an expert at bringing into our world!

Loved this format!!

I have been loving all the baseball stories in Lauren’s Rules of Love series and this collection of novellas was the perfect conclusion to that series. The short and hot stories of many of the side characters you adore from the series was everything I wanted to round out this entire world she created in San Francisco. The way most of them were tied to one night and one event was absolutely brilliant and solidified the timeline to make it much more cohesive. The incredible cast of narrators was exactly what I have come to expect from Lauren’s multicast productions that are far and away the best in the romance world. Satisfaction guaranteed with this audiobook. 5 stars and then some!
