About this listen
She's about to make a deal with the college bad boy....
Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice, even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.
...And it's going to be oh so good.
All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he's worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he's all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.

For years, I've dreamt of what college life could bring, and while some things changed, there was always one constant.

Now there's a new man in my life, one who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, and what he wants...is me.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

I'll just throw myself into my job, because at least that never fails me. Jackson has other plans, though. I refuse to be impressed by his perfect body, the cute dimple on his cheek, or the rugged stubble on his face. Jackson Cole can be resisted. But, I'm only fooling myself. He's going to wear me down. I can feel it. In the end he'll prove that once again, I'm no one's beloved.

It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies.

I recently delved into "The Deal" by Elle Kennedy for the second time, this time opting for the audiobook experience narrated by Christian Fox and Lorelei Avalon. Having stumbled upon this gem on TikTok and being a fan of slow burn contemporary romances, I couldn't resist revisiting this captivating story before diving into the rest of the Off-Campus series.
First and foremost, let me highlight that Garrett, the male protagonist, embodies the perfect blend of a boyfriend and best friend. His character is so well-crafted that even after a second read, I found myself falling for him all over again.
The chemistry between Hannah and Garrett is palpable, and their journey from a fake relationship to genuine feelings is beautifully portrayed. Elle Kennedy skillfully weaves in moments of humor, vulnerability, and passion, making the progression of their relationship feel realistic and heartwarming.
It's important to note that "The Deal" touches on some sensitive subjects, so readers should be mindful of potential triggers and heed the warnings provided.
Overall, "The Deal" is a delightful slow burn romance that keeps you hooked from start to finish. With well-developed characters, steamy scenes, and a satisfying blend of emotions, this book is a must-read for fans of the genre. I highly recommend both the print and audiobook versions for a fully immersive experience.
