Publisher's summary

New York Times best seller Elle Kennedy brings you a sexy new Off-Campus novel that can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

She's good at achieving her goals....

College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.

But the game just got a whole lot more complicated.

Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice he's fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of 22, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn't hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can be made only with an assist.

Love this series, but performance...

Love this series and I am a loyal fan of Elle Kennedy, but these narrators brought it home for me! I loved when Andrew Eiden said, "Darlin." I've looked up these narrators and I hope to hear more of my romance books read by them. As for the story, I don't think it was as strong as the first 3, but still a great book. I would highly recommend this series and if there is another book, I will definitely be reading/listening.

Kennedy never disappoints!

I have become an avid fan of Kennedy. The stories I have read are young adult, but I enjoy the stories one-the-less. This is the story of two people who find that a strong physical attraction becomes so much more through the navigation of life. I have enjoyed watching the Briar hockey team fall in love one at a time and enjoyed this series. The story line is simple, boy meets girl, attraction, angst, life lessons, happily ever after. This story may not be worthy of a Pulitzer prize, but will leave you entertained and over all feeling good as a well devised book should.

Tucker & Sabrina

I don't know which one of the Off Campus boys I love most!

This book is one of my favorites because it pulls in so much from the other books.
The timeline overlaps with a lot of Dean and Allie's story (book 3) and it is funny to hear that Tucker knew about Dean and Allie from the very start.

The Epilogue is the same scene as Book 2: Logan's debut game for the Bruins.

There is also a lot of foreshadowing for Fitzy and Summer (The Chase: Briar U Book 1).

I just finished reading this series or the fourth time and can't wait to start The Legacy!

I highly recommend reading the books in order. There is so much character overlap and the each story is too good to miss. Also, don't miss the spin-off series, Briar U.


This series is fantastic in audio with an amazing cast of narrators. Susannah Jones was the perfect choice for Sabrina.

I thought the author thoroughly researched College Hockey Athlete’s training and comradery.

Because I am an older person, I didn’t believe that all the young women in a college , would really be so eager to one night stands as Elle Kennedy describes in her stories. But when deserving characters achieved success against great odds, I enjoyed the plots.

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

I loved this book. A favorite thing for me is a guy who is happy to become a dad and he's so sweet about the pregnancy and the baby and Tucker was 100% that!!!!! I wish they hasn't waited so long to trust each other with their feeling but their story was sweet and sexy! I'm sad this series is over.

The narration was great, they are both awesome narrators so it wasn't a surprise that they brought these characters to life so perfectly.

Awesome

Is love this series and the world created by the author is so addictive. I just want to read more, always more....
It’s so good and filled with passion and joy, love and lust.
All the characters is well described with flaws and their own personalities which makes them realistic.
The chemistry between the main characters is sizzling hot and I feel sad for Tucker at some point. He is a patient man 😲
The love scenes is sweet and intense, just as I like it.
Getting to meet all the previous characters from this series is a big bonus. I love them all.

Narrators:
Good and clear pronunciation and read with feelings so it’s easy to get in to the story.

Dive in to this series if you haven’t already, 5 stars for wonderful entertainment.

Amazing series!!

I really enjoyed listening to this series and I can’t wait to read more of Elle Kennedy’s books. I also can’t wait to read about Fitzy and Summer.

A good ending

This was a 4.5 star read for me, and I really enjoyed this series. I wasn't sure how to feel about Sabrina coming in, but I quickly grew to love both the main characters. I think the main factor that kept this from being the full five star read I wanted was the pacing. We learned in book 3 that she was pregnant and Sabrina's pregnancy is mentioned in the synopsis of the book. But the pregnancy doesn't make itself known until halfway into the book. It left me wanting to fast forward through some of the earlier scenes even though they were well written. If I had come in blind, this would have been a five star read for me!
