Jill's Review of The Goal by Elle Kennedy










SYNOPSIS

New York Times bestseller Elle Kennedy brings you a sexy new Off-Campus novel that can be read as a standalone

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 twenty-two, 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 only be made with an assist.





REVIEWED BY JILL

Book four in the Off-Campus series is all about Texas native John Tucker. The saying goes "It's always the quiet one's you have to watch out for" and Elle Kennedy outdid herself with this guy. Where as the other three books had hockey as a big part of the storyline it was not so much the case here and it didn't bother me at all. This story is a complete stand-alone that runs parallel to Dean & Allie's story with very minimal overlap.
Sabrina James is a character we have met a couple times in the series. A sassy yet very beautiful brunette that gives new meaning to the word driven. As a senior at Briar she is top of her class hoping for admission into Harvard law and with near perfect scores on the LSAT that life long dream is certainly within reach. Sabrina lives in a less than desirable neighborhood in Boston with her grandmother and step-dad but chooses the lengthy commute to Briar knowing the elite school can fast track her dreams to Cambridge. Sabrina is working two jobs now and saving up all the money she can so her first year of law school can be stress free. Too bad life had other plans for her in the form of a tall, tattooed hockey player.
John Tucker - Tuck is the auburn hair "quiet" one that up until this point has been the head cook and main housekeeper in the house he shares with his best friends / team mates. Where the other guys have no problems putting on a display for everyone to see Tuck has been discreet. By no means is he mild or meek this man is insanely hot but he stands by the fact his mother raised a southern gentleman. Tuck has no plans for professional hockey he is only at Briar for the free education that they gave him and plans on moving back to Texas to put his degree to use. You know what they say about plans though...
John Tucker is hands down my most favorite. I absolutely loved the southern gentleman charm mixed together with the dirty-talking alpha! I hope Fitzy is up next because the tatted up, brainiac needs a girl to fall for :)
