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.

Ich liebe liebe liebe dieses Buch ❤️
von allen Off Campus Jungs ist Tucker die Nummer 1 für mich. Ich hätte nie erwartet, dass er so ist, wie er in diesem Buch ist, auch wenn er davor auch schon mein Favorit war. Und Sabrina ist auch so unglaublich, ich liebe sie ❤️ Ich liebe die beiden oder eher die drei zusammen, eine wunderschöne Familie 😉 
Und ich mochte auch die Szenen mit ihren Freunden sehr ☺️
Ein wunderschönes Buch, einfach herzallerliebst ❤️

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.

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!! 🥰

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 wanted to read this book as my goal last year was to discover new authors and Elle Kennedy is adored within the book community. I have been slowly getting into sport romances, this book was so boring and dragged. Plus who wants a pregnancy trope? No one.  

This book has two points of view. The first is Sabrina James, she is a college senior and she has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in romance and 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 her entire life to change. The second point of view is John Tucker, he believes that 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 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. 

Usually, I find hockey romances addictive, but this book was so slow and boring, and I couldn’t care at all for the pregnancy trope especially for John Tucker, he was such a golden retriever, and I just wanted him to success with his business without Sabrina. As this book runs on the same time as The Score, I find myself skimming the bits that we already knew about – Beau's death, Dean being a dick, everyone leaving college. There wasn’t enough hockey either for a hockey romance and I would have loved to see the girls together more besides from the epilogue.  

The only thing I enjoyed was the men having the banter still and all fighting to be uncles or godparents. The fact that this book sort of ties up everything nicely and the fact that you see the glimpse of Fitzy and Summer’s romance brewing.  

This is one of the books in the series where I probably won’t remember much about it besides that it was the book with the pregnancy trope and ruined the series. I will carry on and read the fifth book in this series just to see how the guys are doing. My main issue with this series is I didn’t really love any of the women that these guys ended up with.
