About this listen

"You may be faking the relationship, but you're not faking the orgasms."

Downsized, broke, and dumped, 38-year-old Marley sneaks home to her childhood bedroom in the town she couldn't wait to escape 20 years ago. Not much has changed in Culpepper. The cool kids are still cool. Now they just own car dealerships and live in McMansions next door. Oh, and the whole town is still talking about that Homecoming she ruined her senior year.

Desperate for a new start, Marley accepts a temporary teaching position. Can the girl banned from all future Culpepper High Homecomings keep the losing-est girls soccer team in school history from killing each other and prevent carpal tunnel in a bunch of phone-clutching gym class students?

Maybe with the help of Jake Weston, high school bad boy turned sexy good guy. When the school rumor mill sends Marley to the principal's office to sign an ethics contract, the tattooed track coach, dog dad, and teacher of the year becomes her new fake boyfriend and alibi - for a price. The Deal: He'll teach her how to coach if she teaches him how to be in a relationship.

Who knew a fake boyfriend could deliver such real orgasms? But it's all temporary. The guy. The job. The team. There's too much history. Rock bottom can't turn into a foundation for happily ever after. Can it?

Warning: Story also includes a meet-puke, a bouffanted nemesis, a yard swan and donkey basketball, a teenage-orchestrated makeover, and a fake relationship that gets a little too real between the sheets.

Perfect Small-town Romance

Do you like older than average protagonists? Do you want a romance where a heroine reconnects with a high school sweetheart that wasn't meant to be? Do you want a longer than average romance featuring a cast of small town friends, family and enemies?

Marley returns to her small hometown, down on her luck and alone. She's given a chance to be a short notice soccer coach and fill in school teacher at the local high school, her high school, as a place to find her feet. She finds her feet and the love of her life during the school year, and in her late 30s finally fines something she wants to do in her life.

"Rock Bottm Girl" - Lucy Score

This is my first standalone Lucy Score after reading "Knockemout" and I absolutley loved it. Marley was a loveable mess and Jake was the perfect bad boy turned town charmer. Their chemistry was fantastic. I also really enjoyed the plot of the girls soccer team shenanigans, and the way the girls helped Marley as much as she helped them. Floyd was the perfect loveable sidekick and Vicky was the best "old new best friend" I have read in quite a while. The spice was tasteful and well written and didn't over power the plot which is always a plus for me. Thank you Lucy for writing solid reliable rom coms we can count on.

I listened to a lot of this on Audio book. The narrators were wonderful, voice variation was perfect and they added the perfect amount of drama and tension. a great performance.

Fun

Love the positive chemistry between the the mains but the story jumps a lot and moments of action are missed. Very loveable concept and characters, the parents are quite funny. The small town world is developed well but the complexity of it probably made it feel like there were gaps in the narrative- I wanted to know more about the detail established. A good read overall. Male narrator's 'female's voice' was a but off putting also. Not the steamiest Score novel I've read but it has a few 'book boner' moments- lol.

So much to love about this story

Rock Bottom Girl was SO MUCH FUN to read, and there was so much to love about this story. The humour, swoon worthy Jake, Marley's hilarious parents, Marley herself - I adored her at times very dry sense of humour. The girls soccer team - they turned out to be the sweetest girls (most of them) after a not so great start with Marley as their new coach - the incident on day 2 of her coaching made me LOL (poor Marley). And to my great joy, at the end of the book I realised there was a bonus epilogue. I love bonus epilogues.

So happy to be able to say that the audio for Rock Bottom Girl was a delight to listen to. Stephen Dexter is a favourite narrator of mine, so it was definitely time for a reread via audio after initially reading the ebook last year.

Seriously pathetic main character

I read a review that the main character was pathetic person stuck in the past fixated on her teenage past at nearly 40. All true. Really pathetic.

okay...close to boring

this was nice, but I think my slight aggravation with woes me and ungrateful attitude of Marley, and using that as driver for story, reduced enjoyment. close to 40 years old, I didn't find this attitude appealing. Jake was ok and a good match for her, but also close to 40 and not having moved on from flat boy existence undermined his appeal - honestly living like a pig and only ever having one night(or week) stand doesn't speak much for him. best moment was family board game, the rest was pretty blah for me, with moments of enjoyment to make it bearable and interested enough to see where it was going.
