Author
Elle Kennedy is an author from Toronto, Ontario with a Bachelor of Arts in English. She’s currently a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. She’s also currently working with Amazon Prime to turn this book series in to a TV show.
There are quite a few books in this story line. All can be read as standalone’s but it makes the most sense to read them in order to understand all the characters better and follow all of their stories accurately. I would recommend first reading the Off-Campus series, then the Briar U series, then Legacy, and finally the Campus Diaries series.
The Deal
The First book in the Off Campus series is The Deal. This book follows main characters Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham. Hannah is a music student who finally found a guy that she likes on the football team. The problem is she has a lot of baguage when it comes to getting involved with a guy. Garrett , the captain of the hockey team has agreed to help Hannah step out of her comfort zone and get his attention by pretending to date in exchange for tutoring him.
The Mistake
The Mistake follows main characters Grace Ivers and John Logan who is Garrett’s best friend and also a hockey player. Grace and Logan have an intimate encounter one night but Logan makes a mistake that pushes her away. Logan’s over his player days and is going to do everything he can to convince Grace he’s worth a second chance.
The Score
The Score follows main characters Allie Hayes, Hannah’s best friend, and Dean Di Laurentis, the third of the four roommates in the Off-Campus series. Dean is another hockey player and the biggest play boy on campus. He always gets what he wants and no girl is immune to his charm.Allie is panicking about not knowing what to do after graduation and is recovering from her broken heart from her longtime boyfriend that she dated all college long. In a moment of need she has a rebound hookup with the king of one night stands, Dean. But Dean can’t get over just the one time, he needs more.
The Goal
The Goal follows main characters Sabrina James and the final hockey playing roommate John Tucker. Sabrina is determined to graduate, get into Harvard law school, and get a job at an amazing firm. She has no time for boyfriends so all she can give Tucker is one night. But that one night changes their lives forever. Sabrina and Tucker are expecting parents and Sabrina is determined to do everything on her own. Tucker however, is determined to help as much as he can and chip away at Sabrina’s walls to get the girl of his dreams.
Quotes
“Sometimes people sneak up on you and suddenly you don’t know how you ever lived without them.”

“First and foremost-be confident. Second-be spontaneous. Third-the only opinion that matters is your own.”
“I do what I want, when I want. And I don’t give a shit what people think about me.”
“All my senses are filled with her-her sounds, her smell, her touch. Her.”
“My goal, once upon a time, was to succeed. I didn’t realize that success wasn’t grades or scholarships or achievements, but the people I was lucky enough to have in my life.”
“Because love is the ultimate goal. It’s not the one I had strived for, but I was lucky enough, so damn lucky, to achieve it.”
My Review
Overall I absolutely loved this book series! I’ve heard great things about this series and was very excited to start a hockey series. I fell in love with all four books and all the characters. I just couldn’t get enough of it! Elle Kennedy is such an amazing writer and and story teller and I would recommend any of her books in a heartbeat.
If I had to rank my favorites of this series my top would be The Deal followed by The Score, The Mistake, and The Goal. However, I would happily re-read all of them and probably will at some point. But for now, I’m onto the Briar-U book series.
