Blurb
What started out as a joke— seduce Coach Wilder—soon became a goal she had to score.
With Olympic tryouts on the horizon, the last thing nineteen-year-old Kinsley Bryant needs to add to her plate is Liam Wilder. He’s a professional soccer player, America’s favorite bad-boy, and has all the qualities of a skilled panty-dropper.
• A face that makes girls weep – check.
• Abs that can shred Parmesan cheese (the expensive kind) – check.
• Enough confidence to shift the earth’s gravitational pull – double check.
Not to mention Liam is strictly off limits . Forbidden. Her coaches have made that perfectly clear. (i.e. “Score with Coach Wilder anywhere other than the field and you’ll be cut from the team faster than you can count his tattoos.”) But that just makes him all the more enticing…Besides, Kinsley’s already counted the visible ones, and she is not one to leave a project unfinished.
Kinsley tries to play the game her way as they navigate through forbidden territory, but Liam is determined to teach her a whole new definition for the term “team bonding.”
A fun & sexy New Adult Romance (age 17+)
Review
“She believed she could so she did.”
And boy did she!
Kinsley Bryant is at the top of her game when it comes to playing soccer, but in the romance department, she can’t seem to win. After two cheating boyfriends, Kinsley’s done with relationships. Her focus is now 100% on making it on the Women’s Olympic Soccer team and dominating the field at the collegiate level. She’s driven to succeed, and Kinsley’s not going to let anything or anyone get in her way…
Enter Liam Wilder. He’s a professional soccer player whose bad publicity has landed him as an assistant coach on Kinsley’s college team. This makes any type of relationship between them off limits, but their attraction is too much for them to ignore, and soon they’re playing a dangerous game. With so much to lose, why would Kinsley and Liam risk giving into their feelings for one another? Unless they found something they feel they could love more than soccer.
R.S. Grey is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. This is my third book by her, and her writing keeps getting better. Her storylines pull readers in and the development of her characters help us to understand the depth of who they are and what they want. Kinsley is a kickass heroine. She’s driven, confident, and feisty; the best part about her is that she knows how to have fun and her one liners and witty comments are hilarious. Because Scoring Wilder is told solely through Kinsley’s perspective, readers hear all of her internal dialogue, witness her quirkiness, and see the turmoil she goes through when deciding how to proceed with her forbidden romance with Liam.
Liam Wilder may have been the tattooed bad boy, but with Kinsley, he’s anything but. He protects her when most guys wouldn’t; he shields her from all of the bullshit, making sure she remains as unscathed as possible. He’s an amazing hero who I just couldn’t get enough of in this story. I definitely would have liked to get in his head a little bit, but seeing him from Kinsley viewpoint worked well.
Scoring Wilder combines two of my favorite things: sports and romance. The story has a great mix of humor, mild angst, and sexual tension. There was never a lull in the plotline; there’s not unnecessary conflict or drawn out complications. It’s an extremely well written text that I couldn’t put down!
R.S. Grey shoots and scores!

Excerpt
But just before she stepped inside, I heard the same sexy voice that I’d heard the previous night— the voice that said, I’m sexy and I know it.
“Morning ladies.”
Every single girl froze and we turned in unison. Liam Wilder was standing a few feet away wearing workout gear and a friendly smile. Of course his friendly smile could easily be misconstrued for a take-your-panties-off smile, so it’s a wonder we all managed to mutter shocked hellos. I guess he’d pulled up in the parking lot a few minutes after we did. I peered behind him and saw a black Mercedes SUV parked in the spot closest to the field house. A photographer was snapping pictures on the other side of the fence. Jeez, they wake up this early to get pictures of him?
“Oh, hi Liam.” Tara smiled wide.
I shot Becca a gag-me face.
“You guys should probably call me Coach Wilder while we’re at practice,” he admonished. I had to fight to keep from cracking up. The shocked look on Tara’s face was absolutely priceless, but it still wasn’t enough to make me forget the awkwardness of the situation.
I couldn’t look up at him. The last time we’d spoken, I’d literally asked him to show me his tattoos, which we both knew really meant I wanted him to show me his soccer balls. Hah. I’d have to tell Becca that one later. I tugged her and Emily forward without acknowledging Liam and headed for the conference room. Thankfully, Coach Davis was there already and Liam didn’t follow us in.

I am a lover of books, chocolate, good TV, metaphors and similes, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things… everyday.
I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I’m a comedy geek and love all things “funny”. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.
