The Goal by Elle Kennedy

The Goal (Off-Campus, #4)

by Elle Kennedy

Discover another binge-worthy romance from New York Times and international bestselling author Elle Kennedy!

She's good at achieving her goals...

College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.

But the game just got a whole lot more complicated...

Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he's fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn't hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.

It's been a while since I read the last book, but I loved being back Off-Campus with the boys. Tucker's story overlapped with Dean's, and therefore, we had gotten peeks of it in the last book.

I always had love for Tucker, and getting to know him better in this book, made me love him even more. He was a fantastic hero, who had a goal, and that goal was to win Sabrina's heart. He was patient and supportive and giving. I had to commend him for his effort, because Sabrina was a tough nut to crack, but I really loved watching her grow and change. I also loved these two together. I thought they had great chemistry, complimented each other well, and the interactions were fun.

Sabrina's family was really horrible, and I have to admit, those scenes were sometimes sort of cringey, but they helped paint of a full picture of what she was dealing with.

I appreciate many of the things Kennedy did in this book, as it was the finale. She gave us an ending for all four boys, and since endings are really, really important to me, I was quite happy about that. She also gave us a little peek into the future with an epilogue that made me smile.

Overall: Another solid Off-Campus book.
