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.

Sabrina was so hard to like in this book. I knew why she was the way she was and could sympathize with her. But she just kept pushing Tuck away and it made me wonder what kind of Saint John Tucker was.

Tuck rivaled Dean as my favorite. There was so much more to this strong, silent man. It was hard to not love Tuck and want him to get everything he wants...even if that included Sabrina.

If you haven't been introduced to the Briars' Hockey team, this is definitely a series to pick up.
