Tucker and Sabrina

I enjoyed a lot of this book. 

The gritty parts about poverty, classism at university, the icky stepdad and the sexist MIL, seemed realistic and relatable. 

I enjoyed t  be e banter between the FMC and her BFs Hope and Acarina. 

I don’t normally enjoy spicy college romances with pregnancies but this seemed to convey the challenges reasonably well. Without a big means of rescuing the main couple from the financial and familial problems.

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.

As devastated as I am to bring the Off-Campus series to a close, my heart is warmed by the way we finished. Sabrina and Tucker are such gentle souls, and they truly deserve every happiness. I only wish they’d gotten it sooner!

As always, Elle Kennedy touches on heart-wrenching topics while still maintaining the utter joy of a good romance. I don’t know how she does it, but I’m so glad she does. To The Legacy!

I was hopeful because there finally was some variation in the plot compared to the first three books, but there were just too many unlikeable characters and problematic situations that weren't handled well. It was offputting.

This is my second read, which I never do, and I loved it more than the first time around. Tucker is one of my favorite mmc of all time and Sabrina is such an understandable and inspiring fmc. I love her and her story. It is an accidental pregnancy but I think it’s really well done. The focus isn’t on some perfect plot device that fixes everything; the baby gives them a reason to be closer but they have to work through their trauma(s) and life struggles. I respect the issues continuing realistically after the baby and how despite much if the romantic tension being the result of internal struggle, it made sense.
