[Book One of Four]

Story: 4 out of 5 Smut: 2.5 out of 5

I’ve missed sports romance and Elle Kennedy so much. As soon as I started reading, I couldn’t stop. Even when a certain trope I don’t like popped up (love triangle), I still continued to read.

Summer and Fitzy were so perfect for each other, but it took them forever to realize it. Well, to be fair, they realized it a lot sooner but Fitzy couldn’t explain his feelings and Summer had that thing with Hunter, and yeah… it was a mess.

While the story was fun and entertaining as hell, I still felt it ended rather abruptly. I know there isn’t a book of novellas that kinds of ties up everyone’s story like the Off-Campus series, so I’m hoping to see more Summer and Fitzy in the other books.

* Kappa Beta Nu girls are smug bitches. I don’t like them.

* Okay, so maybe Bianca is okay.

* Fitzy is a tattooed, hockey playing nerd… I love him already. (I forgot everything from the Off-Campus series, sshhhhh 🤫)

* Ew. Summer kissed Hunter..?

* Ohhh. She has a learning disability that she’s really insecure about, but masks it really well. I wonder how Fitzy will react when he finds out.

* She heard Fitzy call her “fluff”. So that’s why she kissed Hunter.

* New friend alert? Hello, Brenna.

* Gross. Now Hunter thinks he’s got dibs on Summer just because his tongue was down her throat on NYE? Barf.

* Ouch. Just when things are going good… there’s a misunderstanding in the kitchen about reading and books. This is gonna be so frustrating.

* Nooooo. Don’t cuddle Hunter. Cuddle Fitz!

* Ughhh. And now there’s this Nora girl already seeming possessive of Fitzy just because he was looking at Summer? 😩

* Gross. I don’t like this Professor Erik Laurie. He’s skeezy af. And Nora bore witness to their conversation. She’s gonna flip it and make it seem like Summer is trying to seduce their professor. Bitch.

* Oh man, Summer and Fitzy finally having it out tugged at the heartstrings. I just wanted these two together so bad.

* And this is why I don’t like Hunter. He can happily kiss another girl during Spin the Bottle, but god forbid Summer kiss a dude that isn’t him. Fuck this guy.

* Ohhhh, they’re friendly-ish now. He’s gonna help her study and she’s gonna let him sketch her for his game!

* Ugghhh. I hate that Hunter is into Summer and now wants to ask her out. He’s gonna ruin the whole dynamic when she says no and realizes she’s into Fitzy.

* Summer, nooooo.

* I don’t like this love triangle bullshit. I hope Hunter does something horrendous, like cheat, for Summer to break things off with him. Then again, she’s not wrong about Fitzy not being clear about what he wants.

* Goddamn, Summer. You really blew Fitzy in the locker room when you still have a date with him teammate?! Not cool.

* And Fitzy, you dick. I can’t believe you bailed on that talk.

* I fucking hate this assistant Dean or whatever he is. Summer told you a professor made her uncomfortable and you blame her!? Fuck you. I hope you get fired.

* Fuckkk. She went on the date with Hunter, only to basically tell him she wants Fitzy. A sense a fight coming 👀

* Hunter’s handling this like a pussy.

* Fuck that drunk tech dude. I’m so glad he showed his true colors and Fitzy didn’t go work for him.

* Dean walked in on them. Omg 😆

* The professor is a fucktard!

* Omg. That text dude called and apologized to Fitzy! Where’s Sunmer’s apology, asshole?!

* Oohhh. Fitzy is gonna walk in her fashion show 😏

* The professor really tried to rape Nora?! wtf! I’m so glad Summer was there.

* Wait, what. The end? That was kind of… abrupt.

[little-miss-romance]

Summer is everything. She’s my muse…She’s my laughter…She’s my tigger…She’s my desire…But most of all, she’s my heart.

PENN U – NCT U

“PENN U” surgiu do meu amor pela série de livros chamada “Amores improváveis” ou “Off Campus” da Elle Kennedy, e consiste em contos com os neos (incluindo todas as units, 127, DREAM, WAYV e futuramente WISH) que possuem uma ordem de publicação, mas que não necessariamente você precisa seguir para ler, é opcional. Ah! E como os livros que eu me inspirei possuem essa temática de jogadores de hóquei no gelo, todos os neos vão ser atletas, seja de hóquei ou de outro esporte.

Contém: linguagem imprópria, conteúdo sexual (com isso eu quero dizer uma frase com conotação sexual aqui e alí, mas nenhum smut) e muito provavelmente os neos sendo idiotas por mulheres.

🏒

✨✨ Rating: ♾️ Stars ✨✨

The Graham Effect is a fun, grumpy x sunshine, enemies-to-lovers romance novel.

I'm currently in my sports romance era, and I've only read one other book by Elle Kennedy - The Chase from the Briar U series. I loved The Chase, and because of that, I expected to love The Graham Effect too.

Plot

The story is about Gigi Graham, the daughter of Garrett Graham from the Off-Campus series. Gigi wants to make her famous hockey dad proud by becoming one of the top female hockey players and making it to the Olympics. Luke Ryder wants to be chosen as one of the coaches for Garrett Graham's summer program. He offers to help Gigi improve her weak spots in hockey, and she agrees to help him get chosen as a coach. But to do that, they must overcome their disdain for each other, which stems from when they first met as teenagers.

As they help each other, sparks fly, and their chemistry becomes intense. They soon can't deny their attraction and let their passion consume them.

The Romance

The romance between Gigi and Ryder is both sweet and spicy. The book is not just a romance but also deals with the characters' trauma and anxiety. The character development is well done, and both Gigi and Ryder bring out the best in each other. Gigi helps Ryder open up about his feelings, and Ryder helps Gigi become moreso confident.

I couldn't put the book down and finished it in 3-4 days. The writing is gripping, and the story never lets you go. I appreciate that there's no third-act breakup scene, which is a common trope in romance novels.

Who will love this book

If you enjoy sweet/spicy romances, hockey, sports, fast-paced reads, and well-developed characters, you'll love The Graham Effect.

I can't wait to read the sequel, The Dixon Rule, coming out in May.

I'm surprised I managed to read this much while the amount of stress I feel right now 😅 not too bad of a month! I think I'm still too burned out by fantasy to enjoy more than 1-2 reads in a while but I always love my romance. Planning to start August with Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries!
