The Deal: Now an Original Series on Amazon Prime (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.

Soon to be a streaming show!

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.

Loved this. It was super cute, the characters felt well-rounded and like real college kids who are figuring stuff out. The banter was on point, the hockey was on point, and the full cast is interesting enough for me to want to carry on reading the rest of the series. I particularly liked that both characters didn't have charmed lives, and that the major crisis point didn't involved other-person drama, but I wasn't a massive fan of how the crisis came about. That said, I'd love to carry on reading more in this universe and I sure wouldn't turn down Garrett if he wanted to be my boyfriend :D

10/10, finished in 2 days. The Deal pulled me in immediately because of Hannah’s backstory and how realistic she felt. Garrett has peak golden retriever energy but is also supportive and emotionally aware, which made him such a great love interest. The relationship development was my favorite part. It really felt like supportive friendship → fake dating → real feelings, and their chemistry and humor kept the story fun the whole time. The spice felt natural to the story and not forced. Highly recommend if you like fake dating tropes, humor, hockey romance, and a little spice. 🏒📚✨

Read for my book club, NJ Book and Sip. It’s a total guilty pleasure read that did its job and was actually good! A good break after reading mostly nothing but dark sci-fi recently. A little smutty I must say.
