Off-Campus Series Books 1 -5 Collection Set by Elle Kennedy (The Deal, The Mistake, The Score, The Goal & The Legacy)

Product Information

EDIT: I knew it was coming that one day I wake up and think about this book again and hate most about it. So I actually re-read HannahGarrett's novella again and felt sooo disappointed. Love the idea of them being the first book in the series and then, the last book ending with their chapters, but Elle Kennedy did (all) the characters so dirty... 😭

But the best thing about this book is how you get to see Dean and Allie fall for each other. It's so rare to read a book that actually shows the hero and heroine fall for one another in a series of moments instead of just being told that they are in love. There's no insta-love here. NONE. And I LOVED that because even though Dean and Allie were physically intimate with each other and are crazy attracted to each other, they didn't fall in love immediately. It took time for them to fully trust one another. But the moment they did, oh man, it was well worth the wait. Seriously, Elle Kennedy should conduct a workshop on this non-insta love thing because I much prefer my romance like that. Dean Di Laurentis is in my blood now. I didn’t expect the intense sexual chemistry between us, but it’s here, and it’s addictive, and I don’t know how I can ever give it up.”For the sake of all that is holy, both know Hannah and Garrett and all the others cannot know so they are in agreement. She leaves to stay with another friend and that should be that. The Score was great, but in my opinion not as funny and cute as The Mistake. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it very much, and I swooned and laughed and blushed! I just felt like something was missing,and I think that's because I found Allie's character really flat and indifferent. I couldn't connect with her and even though I didn't hate her, I didn't love her either. This, plus the drug use are the reasons I didn't give it the fifth star! That being said, let's talk about Dean, shall we? And finally, he will squeeze out of you all those warm feelings. You. Will. Fall. Head. Over. Hills. In. Love with HIM.

The guy has the attention span of a fruit fly, and the affection-giving habbits of a puppy, offering his sexual devotion to whoever happens to be holding the treat. By which I mean the vagina.” This book took me on a journey with characters I had bonded with from the start. Elle Kennedy gave me The Deal with the foundation of these people and then she built a second floor with The Mistake...a strong and solid read in keeping with the same architectural style... of humor, open sexuality, and heart. With The Score she has added another level to an intricate structure. It reflects the time just before people go out into the world and leave the shelter of college. It gives us insight into what these specific characters need to grow and see who they are going to become...it presents challenges and then these characters either rise to carry on or don't. The Score, newest addition to Kennedy’s series, is not disappointing either. It delivered exactly what I’ve been craving from NA and had everything I learned to expect from Kennedy’s work: great banter, hot sex scenes, swoony and touching moments and fabulous characters! It was flirty, sexy and damn cute. We have tons of lust, lots of sassiness and wittiness, a tad bit of drama and complex, vivid characters you won’t be able to not fall in love with. See, I am still all gooey inside. Garrett and Hannah's novella (★) — This is where I say I'm somehow surprised. hannahgarrett is probably Elle's favorite couple so I thought they would at least be spared. Wrong.

this was supposed to be all cute and nostalgic but shit made me lose brain cells. i kept opening the other books in the series to see if i'm even reading about the right people. EK just went ahead and said "lemme delete who they were and lemme write new characters" like excuse me if you can't even write about your own characters properly then you shouldn't write a new book about them. also this was filled with so much drama, secrets and just plain ass unnecessary communication problems. It's me. You want me. And as long as this hungry pu*&y keeps dripping for me, we're not fu&*ing done."

These problems I mentioned above are all issues for me because of my inability to separate fiction from reality and how easily I’m able to compare & contrast the story setting along with the character age so these things may very well not be issues for anyone else. But for me, these were kinks and hindered me from liking the book from the start. Is also super funny and cheery most of the time. The banter and sweet talk between him and Allie is awesome.

Aside from that, I really loved this. Logan was absolutely swoon worthy. I loved him and Grace together. I loved him in general. Sure you get another hero with "daddy issues" but I co These books had humor, drama, amazing sexy times, and most of all, none of the over-the-top angst so many other stories can have. As someone who doesn't read the angsty, heartbreaking type... this was a series made just for me and others who felt the same way. Oh yeah. I can see why Garrett sneaks into your hotel rooms for all those secret man-on-man bone-zone sessions.”
