Recommendation
Way to make me love college boys again, Elle. Not since I was in college have I thought twice about bedding a hunky college boy, but since you put Garrett in my life, I’m seriously thinking about re-enrolling. Not only is Garrett majorly swoon-worthy, but the story and banter made The Deal a fun and sexy page-turner. The Deal definitely spares no punches with the reality, and Elle brings out the best of both Hannah and Garrett. I loved it!
Excerpts
"Spread your legs," I tell her. "I want to see you." She hesitates. And then she does it, and my breath spirals out of my lungs. Fucking perfection. She's pink and pretty and glistening and perfect."
Publisher synopsis
She's about to make a deal with the college bad boy…
Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice…even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.
…and it's going to be oh so good
All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he's worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he's all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.
***New Adult/Contemporary Romance. First of a series, but each book will be a standalone***
