Usually pregnancy tropes are not my favorite types of books. However this one had me gripped. I think in a lot of ways I saw parts of my self in Sabrina and maybe that’s why I enjoyed it so much. Tucker is such a lovable character. Him and Sabrina are the stereotypical “black cat-golden retriever” and I’m such a sucker for that. Tucker is everything any girl could ever possibly dream of in a guy. This was a great way for the original 4 books of the Off Campus series to end.

Tucker and Sabrina are an unlikely couple and a fun one! I loved seeing this part of the timeline from their perspective and get some insight as to why Tucker was so private in the prior book! Tucker is such a patient and understanding character but I’m very glad his character flaws get addressed too. Some challenging topics in this one but I do love how things pan out for them! Sabrina is stubborn but thankfully comes around! Very grounded characters and a perfect match. 

The spice in this book is dialed up at 100 starting from the very beginning. This couple has stellar chemistry and their relationship outside of the bedroom makes their steamy sessions all the better! Tucker’s flip from nice guy all the time to demanding in the bedroom is a nice touch.

I can’t get over how much I love this series!!! I barely slept ALL weekend so I could read it! It’s absolutely incredible!! Tuck & Sabrina man! Yet again, Tuck is another dream man, especially with his southern accent! 😘 & headstrong Sabrina, I loved everything about her! & reading about all the past couples as aunts & uncles! I just love it!! I love everything about this book! & I can’t wait to start the Legacy & see where all the couples are in the future!! 🥰

Now that I have finished the Off-Campus series (I still have yet to read The Legacy, but we all know that it's the epilogue book), I can now rank the books.

1. The Goal
2. The Deal
3. The Mistake
4. The Score

I never really thought someone would top Garrett as one of my book boyfriends… until I read The Goal. There's something about sweet men and Tucker was the sweetest. As for Sabrina, I related to her not because of her family issues, but because of her drive and strength. Both MCs are much more lovable to me than the others, that's why The Goal made it to my top 1.

If it weren't for Garrett, I wouldn't place The Deal in the second spot. In my opinion, he saved that book. Garrett will always be one of my favorite book boyfriends. I felt that Hannah's character was a bit forced. Her overly cheerful personality seemed like she was trying too hard to be that type of girl.

As for The Mistake and The Score, they were just average for me (The Score was forgettable).
