Summary

New York Times bestseller and TikTok sensation Elle Kennedy brings you the first in the sexy Off-Campus series that everyone is talking about.

Soon to be streaming on Amazon Prime!

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.

I was a little disappointed with this audiobook - I’ve got the kindle version and thoroughly enjoyed the story, but the narrator wasn’t as good as others I’ve listened to. She is also the narrator for book 2 (The Mistake) then there are different narrators for books 3 & 4. I’m gonna stock with it as I’ve also read book 2 previously and am looking forward to exploring the rest of the series.
All in all - enjoyed the story, it’s a nice, easy one, and whilst at times I didn’t like the narrator, I still managed to make it through the audiobook!

Good story - didn’t enjoy the narrator

🎧 Garrett and Hannah 🎧

College hockey player needs tutoring to keep his grade and his place on the hockey team. Music major takes no shit and turns him down flat. They eventually come to a deal whereby he pretends to date her to help get her crush to notice her.

DV in his past and SA in hers.

Christian Fox is perfect as Garrett.
Lorelai Avalon is hard to listen to as Hannah - a little whiny and far too slow.

Really loved story but could have done with both a male & female narrater. The female does have a very very feminine voice that does not do justice to the very masculine male characters. It does sound REALLY odd when the guys talk. Saying that a great story with really 'nice' people & I felt a connection with them all

Let's be honest, if you're a sucker for the delicious tension of fake dating and the raw, exhilarating energy of a hockey romance, this book is basically a literary love letter crafted just for you. From the moment Hannah and Garrett strike their unorthodox bargain, I was hooked. The chemistry crackled off the page, making their 'pretend' relationship feel utterly, undeniably real. It's the kind of story that reminds you why you fell in love with romance in the first place.

Garrett, the reformed player with a heart of gold, and Hannah, the fiercely independent woman who hides a vulnerable soul, are a match made in trope heaven. But what truly elevated this book for me was the way they handled their individual traumas. It wasn't just a plot device; it was a genuine exploration of healing and the power of finding someone who sees you, truly sees you, and supports you through your darkest moments.

While I'm a staunch believer that third-act breakups should be banished to the realm of forgotten plot twists (hence the missing star!), the sheer joy and emotional depth of the rest of the book more than made up for it.

Really loved the story, grabbed me straight away..
didn’t like when the male did the voice of the female in his chapter and vice versa..
but generally a great book! And great audio!

Love Garrot
