AUTHOR: Elle Kennedy GENRE: College Sports Romance PAGES: 361 pages RELEASED: 11 January 2016 SERIES: Off-Campus #3 SYNOPSIS: He knows how to score, on and off the ice Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn’t have the first clue about what she’s going to do after college. To make matters worse, she’s nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won’t include the king of one-night stands. It’ll take more than flashy moves to win her over Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition, girls…he’s a ladies man, all right, and he’s yet to meet a woman who’s immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world—and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It’s not over until he says it’s over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it’s time to stop focusing on scoring…and shoot for love. Hooking up with the biggest playboy on the hockey team can either end in disaster or a happily ever after…
Allie Hayes is officially done with her on-again-off-again boyfriend Sean, but to help avoid the temptation of talking to or texting him, she decides to spend the weekend camped out at her bestfriend’s boyfriend’s house. Turns out though that the only hockey player at home is literal player Dean Di Laurentis, who’s in the middle of a threesome when she comes barging through the door. Dean has always flirted with Allie, but it’s never lead anywhere until he brings out the tequila to help her ignore Sean for the night. Tequila and the biggest player on campus leads to one unforgettable hook-up. And neither can get enough. It’s not long before they’re sneaking around behind their friends’ backs and hooking up on the regular. They’re exclusive friends-with-benefits, but somewhere along the way they become more than just friends who have unbelievable sex with one another. Allie’s never been good with casual hook-ups, and Dean’s not done the relationship thing since he was in high school. Their strength and compatibility are put to the test when life throws them a few hurdles that will truly make or break them as a couple. Third book slump? We definitely don’t know her because Elle has once again stepped things up with this return to Briar U, and that includes upping the temperature too! Allie and Dean have both been really fun characters in the previous books in the series, and having their fun personalities combined in one book is truly a joy. From the get-go I adored Allie and Dean’s relationship as it developed from a casual hook-up to an actual relationship with a future after graduation. Both characters also had really interesting individual stories that were woven together really well. It’s getting harder and harder to choose my favourite couple from this series because they’re all so great and I’ve loved every single book so far! And that bomb drop for the next book? I am SO keen to finally get Tucker’s story! And although I’m bummed that there’s only one more player left to follow in this series, I’m glad that Elle continued on in this world with the Briar U series - you can bet that I’m going to be devouring them too real soon! BRB, just packing my bags, jetting off to the US and enrolling in Briar U because this hockey team is *chefs kiss*. |
