By Elle Kennedy

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

The series that inspired Amazon Prime's Off-Campus - Now Streaming!

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.

With the TV series getting so much hype, I wanted to read the book before deciding whether to watch it. I truly appreciated how the topic of r*pe was handled by both the author’s construction of the story and the characters’ discussions and approach. Aside from that, it was a traditional college romance story in terms of spice and storyline. I think it will play out well on screen if the show handles the topic as well as the book did.

This book has everything I want in a romance novel. I can't wait to read the rest of this series. I was giggling and kicking my feet at the banter, I was gasping at the romance and tearing up at the expressions of past trauma while also clinging onto the hope that these characters who I felt a kinship toward could move on and live their lives. Of course, the HEA was very much deserved and a perfect way to end it.

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
