Whatcan I say? I had a serious case of PMS and I treated myself to a massive binge of La Kennedy. Not only did it chase my blues away, it did wonders for my sex life. There, I said it. You can thank me later.
Still, from the female point of view, these novels share much with the Harlequin/Mills and Boon prototype. A socially superior and sexually experienced male is captivated by a naturally beautiful, but not lacquered-over woman. She may be much more socially and sexually experienced than he is, but makes up for this in chutzpah. Despite his relative sophistication, she manages, as Tania Modelski notes of the Harlequin, in bringing him to his knees.
Once they are officially together, there are further obstacles to be overcome or hard times to get through together. This might be a nod to the criticism of the fairytale happy ever ending that suggests that all shall be well once the curtain comes down on the final clinch. In this series, the relationship proves itself to be real by making it beyond declarations of love.
In many ways, these novels are reflective of new social and sexual mores. Yet, their underlying fantasy remains the same. They are firmly heterosexual, monogamous and show that the fantasy of The One is alive and kicking.
Kennedy skillfully weaves humor, romance and emotional depth throughout the narrative, creating a story that resonates with readers on multiple levels. As the characters confront their insecurities and past traumas, they discover the true meaning of love and friendship.
This novel explores themes of friendship, love and redemption. The story follows the lives of Logan and Grace, two college students who find themselves unexpectedly drawn to each other despite their vastly different backgrounds and personalities.
Logan is the quintessential bad boy on campus, known for his charm, good looks and carefree attitude. However, beneath his tough exterior lies a vulnerable soul struggling with the idea of his future. Grace, on the other hand, is a smart and driven young woman focused on her studies and future career goals. Despite their differences, the two are brought together by a series of events that force them to confront their deepest desires and fears.
As Logan and Grace navigate their budding relationship, they must also contend with outside forces threatening to tear them apart. From misunderstandings to personal demons, the couple faces numerous obstacles on their journey to happiness. Through it all, they discover the true power of love and forgiveness and learning to trust in each other and themselves.
However, their relationship faces challenges as Dean confronts his fears and insecurities and Allie grapples with her own doubts about their future together. As they work through their relationship, they must confront their own vulnerabilities and learn to trust each other.
This book is definitely the steamiest of all the other books. Dean and Allie have an undeniable connection that makes you flip through the pages in a fury to get to what happens between them next. This book is my second favorite out of the whole series, and I think if you are looking for a sports romance with a lot of spice, this is the book for you.
At first glance, Tuck and Sabrina seem like an unlikely pair. Tuck is known for his easygoing nature and unwavering loyalty to his friends, while Sabrina is fiercely independent and focused on her studies. However, when a spontaneous one-night stand leads to an unexpected pregnancy, their lives become intertwined in ways they never imagined.
The Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy is a four-part companion series which follows four different girls as they develop relationships with four college hockey team members who live together in one house. For my review, I will focus on the four main books in the series: The Deal, The Mistake, The Score, and The Goal. There is an additional novella, The Legacy, which occurs after the events of the first four novels.
This live, virtual series focused on dispute-resolution filings and associated actions to provide practical training in an interactive and efficient manner. We expect attorneys, claim handlers, medical providers and employer representatives will all find this valuable whether new to Work Comp Campus or as a refresher for experienced users.
The sessions were designed for efficiency: each had a single planned topic or issue for discussion and live demonstrations; and sessions were no more than 30 minutes. At the end each session there was time for general questions. Sessions were delivered by Campus experts from the Department of Labor and Industry's Alternative Dispute Resolution unit.
On a whole the series is set at Briar University, each book follows a different member of the hockey team and their romance. Despite the fact that each book revolves around different characters I do recommend reading them in order because you will be spoiled for the outcome of the previous novels and you will miss out on some inside jokes and such.
Speaking of the characters, I loved them all and I especially loved their relationships with one another. I mean this both in terms of romantic and platonic relationships. There was so much chemistry between the four couples but also between the four male characters, all of whom are best friends and roommates.
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Cover to Cover! Today, I want to talk about a series that I have seen time and time again on my Tiktok and Instagram feed. I've read a book by Elle Kennedy before, and I liked it. And I was looking for something to read, so impulsively I started reading the first book in this series, The Deal. It was also on Kindle Unlimited, so that helped make my decision rather easy. So, let's get into it!
I decided to do one review of the whole series instead of five individual reviews because that would have been so boring and repetitive. It's basically the same plot line/plot sequence throughout all five books. For some background, the order in which the five books were written is below:
These are all "stand alone" novels meaning you can read just one in any order, but they take place in the same universe with the same characters. For example, The Deal is Garrett and Hannah's story, and The Mistake is Logan and Grace's story. Garrett and Logan are best friends, so you would know Logan from the first novel.
I actually really like when authors do this. Katie McGarry has a few YA series that follow this same sort of pattern. You really wouldn't need to read all of them; if you were interested in just one, read the one you are interested in and move on. There are a few spoilers but nothing really that major. I mean the books are pretty predictable anyways.
As stated before, all the books follow the same plot pattern. Surprisingly, I didn't get tired of it, and I even read all the books back-to-back in one weekend. I was hooked, and I just wanted something romantic, mindless, and fun!
Out of the five, The Deal was my favorite by far. So, if you do decide to read any of these, definitely pick up the first one. The overall theme of the books is that the main guy character is an amazing hockey player, and has been with a lot of girls--they have that sort of reputation. Very attractive, very popular, and very swoon worthy. Then they all meet the one girl that changes everything and suddenly realize they want to be in a relationship. Of course, there are the ups and the downs in every story but, overall, it's the same thing. Like I said, I didn't have a problem with it because that's kind of what I was looking for at the time. If you think you'd get tired of it, I would recommend taking a break in between each book.

Campus is a semi-improvised British television sitcom. It was created by the team behind the sketch show Smack the Pony and hospital-based sitcom Green Wing, led by Victoria Pile who acts as co-writer, producer and director. It is set in the fictitious Kirke University and follows the lives of the staff, in particular the power-crazed and callous vice chancellor Jonty de Wolfe (played by Andy Nyman),[1] lazy womanising English literature professor Matt Beer (Joseph Millson) and newly promoted senior mathematics lecturer Imogen Moffat (Lisa Jackson).[2]
Campus was first broadcast as a television pilot on Channel 4 on 6 November 2009, as part of the channel's Comedy Showcase season of comedy pilots. A full series was later commissioned and commenced airing on 5 April 2011, with the first episode being a re-shot and expanded version of the pilot. When first broadcast many critics claimed it was too similar to Green Wing and that much of the humour was offensive.[3] However, others praised the show's dark humour and surrealism.[4][5] Campus was cancelled after one series due to poor TV ratings. Over the course of the first series (not including the pilot) the average ratings were 554,000 viewers per episode, or 2.99% of the total audience, which is below the Channel 4 average.[6]
Campus revolves around the lives of the staff of Kirke University, a plate glass university under the control of Vice Chancellor Jonty de Wolfe (Nyman). Wolfe is described as "a comedy grotesque",[1] who wants Kirke and himself to become greater, no matter how it is done. He often gives out what he sees as the harsh truth to people but what others consider to be offensive and even bigoted remarks.[2] He is assisted by the "Three Graces of Admin", three administrators all of whom are called Grace and are referred to as Grace 1, Grace 2 and Grace 3 or "Big Grace", "Pretty Grace" and "Was Once A Man Grace" (Alison Lintott, Chizzy Akudolu and Matthew Devitt respectively).
