The Deal (Off-Campus, 1)

By Elle Kennedy

ADD TO MY SHELVES

Recommend book

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.

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

I truly enjoyed this book and couldn’t wait to read the rest of the series. There were parts where I laughed and I wanted to see how the story played out.

4.5⭐️

It has been so long since I’ve read a hockey romance or even a romance book in general! (usually a paranormal or dark romance girly)

I loved this book, I devoured it in two days and couldn’t put it down.

Garrett Graham #44 is definitely added to the book boyfriend list and I loved Hannah

⚠️ POSSIBLE SPOILER ⚠️

The only reason this book wasn’t a full 5⭐️ is because I loathe the “miscommunication” trope but surprisingly didn’t absolutely hate it in this one

I absolutely loveeee this book. It was one of my first novels and kept me reading it all the time without getting bored of it. Especially nerds/academic achievers would love this book, since they’d be able to relate :) Absolutely recommending it to everyone tho !
