Book Review: The Graham Effect by Elle Kennedy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5 stars)
Elle Kennedy delivers yet another sizzling sports romance with The Graham Effect, blending her signature humor, undeniable chemistry, and just the right amount of drama. This book follows Gigi Graham, the determined daughter of hockey legend Garrett Graham, as she fights to prove herself on the ice—without relying on her famous last name. Enter Luke Ryder: grumpy, brooding, and completely off-limits… but also the perfect person to help Gigi sharpen her skills.
Their dynamic is electric from the start. Gigi’s fiery personality clashes (and sizzles) with Ryder’s gruff exterior, making for some delicious tension. Kennedy excels at writing slow-burn romances that keep you hooked, and this one is no exception. The banter is sharp, the chemistry is undeniable, and the emotional depth adds layers beyond just the romance.
Overall, The Graham Effect is a feel-good, hockey-fueled romance that will leave you smiling (and maybe fanning yourself a little). If you love sports romance with strong female leads and swoon-worthy, brooding heroes, this one’s a must-read!
