I swear at the end of every one of these Off Campus
books I am convinced that the H is my favourite of all these men but this time
I am sure it’s Tuck. I mean holy swoony hero Elle Kennedy. I am pretty sure my
ovaries were on the verge of exploding for a while there.
Sabrina was a complex and at times hard to like h but
she was struggling so hard to escape her circumstances and understanding her
motivations went a long way towards loving her and wanting her to get over
herself enough to let Tuck in.
I don’t know if it’s a case of my shitty memory or not
but I had no idea this was written in the same time as Dean’s book and now I am
even more upset it wasn’t released then so I could have read them back to back
to compare the different points of views on some things. Also I kept getting
that feeling like I vaguely remembered parts of things and it drove me a little
nuts I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Tucker was absolutely the star of this show for me but
I needed him to man up a little. When he got all alpha and growly and dirty
talking he was just perfect. But with the way he was so patient and
understanding with Sabrina I have to admit that I did appreciate his softness
with her, I just wanted him to be a little less soft with some of the other
people around him.
You’re the only one for me. My sun rises and sets on your smile. My heart beats because yours does.
But then you know he would get all growly bossy dirty
talking or sweet and caring and sappy in his inner monologue and I was back to
being just swoony over him and forgiving him anything. So yup I think for sure
he is my favourite but maybe I need to do a back to back reread over summer and
vote again. Or maybe we could try one of Tuck’s foursomes in reverse and go to
sleep sticky and smiling.
4.5 Hearts
I just love everything I have read of Elle's so when I saw this on my Goodreads feed I started craving a little NA angst and I just had to dive in and I am very happy to say I was not disappointed. I couldn't put this book down. I will admit that the story line isn't exactly a new concept but the characters backgrounds and personalities and the secondary characters were perfect and I instantly fell in love with them all.
I am sure it's no surprise to anyone who knows me that I instantly fell for Garrett. He was cocky, sexy, arrogant and incredibly self assured. But the insta love I felt for Hannah was a surprise.
I was honestly expecting the perfect, nubile virgin that seems to be par for course in a lot of NA romance and although Hannah was sweet and somewhat innocent I am absolutely delighted she was also clever, smart witted and knew exactly what she wanted.
And from the first kiss the sparks flew
I did expect more angst and drama as the story played out, and I felt there were a few threads I would have liked to see pulled a bit harder but overall it was an entertaining, funny, emotional story that I am so glad I picked up. There were a lot of LOL moments in this book which I suppose I should have expected as I have a crush on Elle and her sense of humour and I seriously need to read more of her work.
Now I just have to wait and obsess over the next book in the series and cross my fingers that we are going to get the story of another one of the supporting characters with a little Hannah and Garrett in the background cause I really don't want to see anything but roses and sunshine for these two characters after we have seen them vanquish their ghosts in this book.
