The Deal by Elle Kennedy
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I sooooooo wanted to give this 5 stars but something stopped me. Don't ask me what because I'm not sure I can put my finger on it yet...maybe I'm just jealous that Garrett is perfect and Hannah gets him...I don't know.
Gosh, my list of book boyfriends is stating to get a little out of control 🤦🏼♀️
So Hannah is a smart, sassy girl with a crush on a footballer at college. Garrett is Captain of the Hockey Team, total playboy and has fluncked a midterm, which is a problem because it screws his GPA and affects his ability to play Hockey in the upcoming season. So a deal is struck early on between the two; Hannah tutors Garrett ready to retake the midterm and in return Garrett helps Hannah make the footballer jealous by taking her out on a date. Of course this actually works perfectly until it doesn't.
I love the detail in this book. It was hot and heavy in all the right ways and balances itself out with complex issues and storylines. Can't complain. Lots of stuff gets explored and it gets quite meaty at times which I personally love but it still felt quite light with the flirty banter between characters and the running jokes throughout. Not enough to be a complete comedy but definitely not hard and serious.
TW:
- sexual assult
- physical abuse
- drug use
P.S: I started this at 1pm today...finished at 10:54pm...sorry, not sorry...
