The third and final book in Michelle Betham’s seductively wicked bonkbuster.

Delving into the lives of those who live and work within the so-called Beautiful Game, ‘Final Score’ is a story of sex, secrets and the true cost of fame.

Footballer’s Wives meets Jackie Collins in this sizzling scorcher of a summer read!

This is the trilogy that keeps on getting better and better. I have been on the verge of tears so many times during Final Score, because I just couldn't believe what was happening to Amber, Jim and Ryan. I still can't believe what I was reading, and although I sort of understand the ending, it wasn't what I was hoping for. 

The 'Striker' trilogy is completely absorbing. I have barely been able to think of anything else for the past few days while I have immersed myself in these stories. 

To enjoy this book fully, you need to read the other two first. This may be read as a standalone, but there is no way it would be as amazing if you don't know the full back-stories, complete with their emotions and thoughts.

Final Score keeps you guessing the entire time as to who Amber will ultimately be with. There has been a lot of character development and growth between the three books, including with the supplementary characters. 

This is the third season we have spent with Amber, Jim, Ryan and Ronnie. Professionally all their careers are going from strength to strength, but again is their personal and private (or not so private) lives that we are discovering in full techni-colour details.

I honestly don't think I will ever understand fully the relationship between Amber and Jim, but I won't deny their is a powerful connection between the two, that is completely obsessive. 

Absolutely amazing trilogy, full of sex, lies and intrigue. Incredibly fast paced, and utterly addictive.
