The Deal (Off-Campus Book 1)

The Deal by Elle Kennedy is a fun, addictive, and emotionally engaging college romance that perfectly combines witty banter, undeniable chemistry, humor, and heartfelt moments. As the first book in the Off-Campus series, it introduces readers to a memorable couple while setting the tone for a series that is easy to get hooked on.One of the book’s greatest strengths is the chemistry between Hannah and Garrett. Their relationship begins with an arrangement that seems simple enough, but watching their connection evolve into something deeper makes the story incredibly entertaining. Their banter br

Phew. The Deal is the perfect blend of humor, heart, and college romance. Elle Kennedy captures the reality of college life so well—the frat parties, the friendships, the hockey players who know exactly who they are and aren’t afraid to own it. It’s fun, messy, and completely addictive.After watching the Off-Campus adaptation on Amazon, I decided to dive into the books, and I have to admit, there are several moments I enjoyed far more on the page. Some scenes just hit differently in the book, bringing even more humor, chemistry, and charm to the story.And Garrett Graham? Absolute perfection. H

Hannah and Garrett have Ethics together. Hannah has aced the class, while Garrett? Not so much. So he hounds Hannah until she agrees to tutor him. Hannah wants nothing to do with the captain of the hockey team, aka a dumb jock. But Hannah wants Justin, a football player to notice her, so she finally makes a deal with Garrett - help her win Justin, and she’ll tutor him through Ethics. But then so much more happens, and along the way, so does romance.The Good, The Bad and Everything In Between (and honestly, it’s all good)-Excellent writing: I’ve been a fan of Elle Kennedy’s Out of Uniform serie

College setting, they come from two different worlds on campus, but past pain and a certain deal lead to something more than a friendship. I love hockey romance and my favorite New Adult trope is a nerd and a jock. This was a variation on that and I already enjoy the author's adult romances so it was an easy choice when I needed just such a book for a pair of reading challenges.The Deal opens with pretty, but quiet music student, Hannah Wells, agreeing to tutor the popular captain of the hockey team, Garrett Graham, in their shared philosophy class so he can stay eligible to play in exchange,

Garrett Graham is on the track to becoming a professional hocley player, but his grades are plummeting. In order to stay on the team, he needs to get a tutor to up his GPA. It seems like the most genius plan to seek out the only girl that didn't fail the class everyone else failed, and ask her for help.Hannah Wells is music student andn an aspiring singer-songwriter, so she doesn't have time for tutoring egomaniac hockey-players. However, Garrett offers to help her conquer her secret crush - a deal she can't help but accept. But as she and Garrett spend more and more time together, it seems li

Overall rating: 4.5/5Spice: 4/5Narrator: 4/5Cliffhanger: 1/5Age: 18+Full disclosure, I usually find contemporary romance boring, and I hate sports. I picked this up looking for something fluffier than my usual fare, something that didn’t need as much of my focus. I got that and more. 21 books later and I can confidently say Elle Kennedy has a talent for creating characters with extremely relatable, entertaining inner monologues and weaving them into stories with just enough angst to make the fun stories stick with you.I listened to this book before I saw the tv show and I definitely prefer the

So, this is the first book by Elle that I have read. I was seeing this floating around Facebook for free and thought why not I’ll give it a try. So, I clicked the link only to find out I had bought this book ages ago (Don’t judge me). Anyways, I decided that now was the time to actually read it seeing as I’ve had it for ages. And I am so freaking glad I did, this book is stellar!!! I happen to love College romances and this one hit every single one of the marks for me.“I can’t help it. Tolbert seems to respond to my brand of bull It’s a gift.” “Well, I want your gift. Please, master, teach me

She manages to create such realistic characters that readers can’t help fall in love with. The Deal is no. exception to that. This book is actually our first introduction to her amazing world of obscenely attractive and crazy talented hockey players at Briar University. Wasting no time, we get straight to the wonderful and hot captain, Garrett Graham.Garrett is a history major in his third year at Briar. Here is where Ms. Kennedy does something different, in shows, movies, and books we often see teachers and professors cutting slack for athletes especially ones that are currently in season. Ye
