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.

"We're happy because we want to be, because we're pouring our energy and emotion into each other in the best possible way."

I would like to say that I sympathize with Sabrina's character. She really did go through a lot of trauma and would probably benefit from therapy. I wouldn't say I dislike her but I wouldn't say she's my favorite compared to the three other girls.

She was a bit frustrating as a character, and I can understand why. Tucker's character was also lost on me towards the end of the book. Not sure if I quite agree with the comments he was making about his baby. Also, completely lost me with the baby name too. 

I feel like both these characters didn't really grow, and at times they still feel like they're in "lust" with each other.

Also did not need to relive the death of Beau again.

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.

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!
