Hannah and Graham

I get that this is a very popular hockey romance but I really dislike the third act break up due to lack of communication. That lost a whole half a star  

I liked how Kennedy wove in serious themes of recovering from trauma. and the two main characters living their life and moving forward, even if we don’t get resolution on past traumas.

Overall I can appreciate Hannah & Garrett’s dynamic as a couple. I love the way their relationship evolves and shifts after they learn about each other’s trauma. However, as individuals they were slightly insufferable. I could do without Hannah’s constant slut shaming and Garrett’s constant reminders that he’s slept with a bunch of other women. We get it dude. You f*ck.

First in the Off-Campus series and I loved it!! Hannah and Garrett's relationship was so fun to watch. I loved how strong of character Hannah was written. This book touches on serious topics but I enjoyed how it was written so that you can still enjoy the book while still bringing light to the topics. My favorite scenes were when the entire team was together. Overall I really enjoyed this book and am excited to read the rest of the series!!

Easy read and enjoyable. The spice was well written and it did fit in the story, it wasn’t just written just for the sake of it. The timing of all the events were very good.

Trope by trope, eeeverything I could want in a romance. Except maybe more gays, but it's got hockey players and they kinda loop around in the macho to homo scale so.
