Book Review for The Deal by Elle Kennedy



Blurb

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

The series that inspired Amazon Prime’s Off-Campus – Now Streaming!

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


Review of Wellsy and Garrett’s Story: A Heartfelt Journey of Healing and Love

Wellsy (Hannah) and Garrett’s story is a deeply moving romance that navigates the complex terrains of emotional wounds, trust, and redemption. Rooted in contemporary romance, this plot explores how two seemingly opposite people find solace and strength in each other’s presence. This review delves into what makes their journey so compelling—a blend of humor, raw vulnerability, and emotional growth that resonates long after the last page is turned.

From the outset, the book hooks the reader with its engaging plot and lively banter between Garrett and Wellsy. Garrett’s relentless determination is both endearing and amusing, often sparking laughter through his comical interactions with Hannah. Their chemistry breathes life into the story, balancing lightheartedness with the profound need for healing. The vivid personalities of the characters and the contrast between Garrett’s cheerful tenacity and Hannah’s guarded wariness create a dynamic that feels authentic and relatable.

The characters stand out as one of the plot's greatest strengths. Garrett’s evolution is particularly notable; initially perceived by some as a carefree playboy, he reveals layers of emotional depth and unwavering commitment throughout the story. His patience and unconditional love not only nurture Hannah’s fragile trust but also add a swoon-worthy charm that fans of romance will appreciate. Meanwhile, Hannah’s journey from trauma to tentative hope is portrayed with sensitivity. Her guarded nature and wit make her both lovable and realistic.

Complementing the leads is a well-crafted supporting cast, especially Garrett’s father, whose storyline introduces a poignant subplot that adds complexity and weight to the broader narrative. The emotional stakes are high, but the story is never bogged down by sorrow; instead, moments of humor—such as a particularly hilarious team locker room scene—offer priceless.

The pacing is skillfully managed, allowing readers to experience the full spectrum of emotions: laughter, heartbreak, and ultimately, hope. The way the author handles themes of pain and healing without letting them define the characters’ futures is refreshing and inspiring. It’s a celebration of resilience and the transformative power of love, anchored in thoughtful character development rather than plot contrivances.

In summary, this book is an enthralling romance that blends heartfelt emotion with genuine humor and relatable characters. Readers seeking a story that balances depth with entertainment will find themselves captivated. Fans of character-driven love stories complicated by past traumas and personal growth will particularly appreciate Garrett and Wellsy’s narrative. While it might not suit those looking for purely light or escapist reads, anyone open to a poignant yet uplifting love story will find this a rewarding experience.

As the story closes with anticipation for the next installment, focusing on Garrett’s teammates, one can’t help but wonder: how will these newly introduced characters further enrich this beautifully woven world of friendship, love, and healing? This promising continuation is sure to keep readers coming back for more.

Colby

For almost ten years, the world of hockey has had their eyes on me, watching my every move. 

I’m projected to be the first overall pick in the NHL draft this summer, and have been nicknamed a franchise altering talent.

But with high praise comes a lot of pressure I can’t escape, and has resulted in me being a rookie in more ways than one.

The only problem is there’s only one person I feel safe with, and I'm pretty sure there are rules about not crushing on your teammate.

Tyler

Ever since I met Colby, I’ve kept an eye on him. No one should have to put up with the pressure the world has laid on his gorgeous shoulders and the defeated look in his beautiful eyes. 

But you shouldn’t notice these things about your teammates. 

So when Colby asks me to teach him everything I know in the bedroom because I’m the only one he feels safe with?

I should say no, but there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Colby McKay.

I should’ve known it wouldn’t be as simple as a friends with benefits arrangement.

Thea Jenson has her future meticulously planned out. Graduate from college. Get a job. Marry her high school sweetheart and have two beautiful children. When she decides to transfer schools, her brother suggests she move in with him and his unruly hockey roommates. Everything in her life is going according to her plan . . .

. . . until she bumps into Kyler in their kitchen and sparks fly.

Kyler Rose, the starting center for the Northport University hockey team, is done for the moment he lays his eyes on Thea. But he can’t allow her to become a distraction. He’s determined to make it to the NHL. That’s if he doesn’t get booted for failing grades first. And even though he’s on scholarship, it doesn’t pay his bills or provide for his family. Neither do the tips he earns from his bartending gig. When an offer to make some fast cash falls in his lap, he takes it, thinking no one will care if he gets hurt . . .

. . . except Thea does care.

But just as Kyler finds a way to navigate his feelings for Thea, an unexpected link to his family comes to light and he finds himself in the fight of his life to protect those he loves the most - his family.
