Welcome to Briar U!
Get ready for your newest obsession . . . Discover the addictive world of the Off-Campus series from The Queen of Hockey Romance, Elle Kennedy!
Read The Goal now for the perfect forced proximity romance!
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 cut-throat 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 . . .
Ideal for Readers Who…
- Have been waiting for Dean Di Laurentis since page one of The Deal — Dean has been the most visibly interesting supporting character across the first two books, and The Score gives him a heroine who is his equal in every way. If you've been watching him in the background and wondering, the answer is yes: he absolutely earns it.
- Love friends-with-benefits tension that's genuinely tense — The Score is the series' friends-with-benefits book, and Elle Kennedy commits to the setup properly. The arrangement between Dean and Allie has a logic to it, clear rules, and absolutely no chance of surviving contact with actual feelings.
- Want the most emotionally complex lead in the series — Dean's backstory is the darkest of the four Off-Campus heroes, and The Score takes it seriously. This is the book in the series where you realise Kennedy is doing something more ambitious than standard sports romance, and the payoff is significant.
- Are reading for the heroine as much as the hero — Allie Hayes is an aspiring actress with a very clear sense of what she wants from her life and a completely unclear sense of what she wants from Dean. Her arc is the book's best element and the reason The Score consistently ranks as many readers' favourite in the series.
- Enjoy a romance where both characters are equally stubborn — neither Dean nor Allie is going to be the first to admit anything. The stand-off is the point, and Kennedy stretches it out to exactly the right length before letting it break.
- Are working through the Off-Campus series — after Dean and Allie, Tucker Cassidy finally gets his story in The Goal, and all four couples return for The Legacy. If you haven't started from the beginning, The Deal is Book 1.
