The Deal by Elle Kennedy

SYNOPSIS:

The international bestseller! A standalone novel* from New York Times and international bestselling author Elle Kennedy!

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.

                                

REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐⭐

    As a hockey romance newbie, I figured I'd start with this classic and ohhh man, it did not disappoint. Elle Kennedy made me absolutely fall in love with this story, these characters, this school and it kept me wanting more hockey romance. 

    Hannah Wells is a smart, cool college girl. Garrett is the bad boy hockey player.

    When Garrett is having trouble in the class he shares with Hannah, the obvious answer to his problems is to have her tutor him. She actually likes this class. But she won't do it. His charm isn't enough for her to set aside from her busy schedule to help him...even if he is a hot hockey player. Everyone knows the hockey players are like the Gods of the school.

    After wearing her down, she finally agrees to a DEAL. Tutoring for seduction lessons. Since Hannah is crushing on another guy that she doesn't have the nerve to approach, this can help solve her social anxiety skills. That's all this is supposed to be......

After that 1st kiss though........

EVERYTHING CHANGES!!!

    Hannah and Garrett make the most perfect, most swooniest couple. They are hilarious together and they make each other better which I absolutely LOVE!!

    The writing all throughout the book was really good and it made me flow through the pages with ease.

    One other thing or part of the story that I really enjoyed was the hockey house, Garrett's roommates. I'm from South Texas and I know absolutely nothing about hockey or hockey players, but these guys just seemed so HOT and an absolutely good time and fun to be around. 

    I can't wait to read the rest of this series!
