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.

i’ve been looking forward to the release of this book for a while as i loved the rest of the off-campus series. unfortunately it fell a little flat for me. the premise was OK, although i don’t love the accidental pregnancy trope. i really liked sabrina and tucker as characters and as a pair. but the pacing felt pretty wildly off to me - the lead-up to their relationship is very slow, and then the pregnancy feels like it’s over in 0.5 seconds. i would have loved this more if the timing felt more deliberate and was tightened up, and if kennedy relied less on tropes. an enjoyable read, just not what i expected after loving the other off-campus books, particularly [b:The Deal|24920901|The Deal (Off-Campus, #1)|Elle Kennedy|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1431282052s/24920901.jpg|44100599].
