The Deal by Elle Kennedy

The Deal (Off-Campus, #1)

by Elle Kennedy

New York Times bestseller 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.

Elle Kennedy...changed my mind about New Adult genre

I am not a fan of NA books in general, but this one was the best. The characters were great without being perfect. We have the very sexy captain of the ice hockey team Garrett and the sweet and sassy music lover Hannah.

Garrett fails a test which Hannah aced and so he decides to hit her up to tutor him. Hannah thinks he'll be a dumb jock who won't be serious. This story shows how they learn to trust each other and become friends.

Ms Kennedy has a talent for showing a believable college life with intelligent characters who study, work and practice to keep up their grades. Surprisingly this was one of the first NA's that I wasn't screaming (to myself) "GROW UP ALREADY".

Loved this story and the characters and will definitely be reading more in this series.
