The Deal (Off-Campus, 1)

New York Times bestseller and TikTok sensation Elle Kennedy brings you the first in the sexy Off-Campus series that everyone is talking about.

She's about to make a deal with the college bad boy...

Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice...even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.

...and it's going to be oh so good

All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he's worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he's all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.

Hannah has a crush on a football player at Briar University. She also happens to be one of the only people passing a particular class that she has with him and university hockey super star, Garrett Graham. Garrett needs to improve his grade in the class to be eligible to play hockey for the remainder of the semester and play professionally after college. Garrett asks Hannah repeatedly to tutor him and she turns him down. Until... he makes her and offer she can't refuse. Help him get his grade up, and he'll help her get the football player she's crushing on to notice her. And so... they make a DEAL.

What else is there to say about this book other than GARRETT GRAHAM?!

I mean come on, he like sets the book boyfriend bar. I truly enjoyed his and Hannah's story. It was sweet and spicy! The way he dealt with Hannah's past in such a delicate manner just made me love him more.

There are definitely some trigger warnings in the book that you should be aware of prior to reading such as history and discussion of rape, and verbal and physical abuse.

I'm clearly in my cute rom-com book phase. Hannah and Garrett were adorable together. I loved how they started off as reluctant acquaintances, then friends and let the feelings between each other grow instead of the instalove that happens in a lot of books. It felt very real that they both admitted to their physically attractive, but were off put by each others personality. I enjoyed Elle Kennedy's writing. It wasn't too angsty, the characters weren't too immature or whiney. Overall I really enjoyed reading thsi book.

I'm off to read Book 2 - The Mistake.
