Story
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.

Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn't have the first clue about what she's going to do after college. To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di-Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won't include the king of one-night stands.

Story
Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

Story
Cruel. Coldblooded. Hades in a Brioni suit. Cillian Fitzpatrick has been dubbed every wicked thing on planet earth. To the media, he is The Villain. To me, he is the man who (reluctantly) saved my life. Now I need him to do me another small solid. Bail me out of the mess my husband got me into. What’s a hundred grand to one of the wealthiest men in America, anyway? Only Cillian doesn’t hand out free favors. The price for the money, it turns out, is my freedom.

It started out like any normal day. Then the fender bender happened. The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth. Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway - one I was excited about. Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

I’d never forgotten him - a man I’d yet to meet. Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Until one day it did. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one - one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. Griffin forgave me, and we were able to rekindle our childhood connection.

It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought, until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch to. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man who crouched down and looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive was none other than my ex.

Story
Jolie Louis is a smart girl. She knows that her best friend, Sage Poirier, is a bad idea. He's a walking, talking cliché. The Adonis quarterback with the bulging biceps and harem of fangirls trailing behind him on campus like a stench you can't get rid of. Sadly, that's also the reason she can't stay away from him. Well, that and the fact that they're roommates. Jolie is already straddling the line between friendship and more when Sage comes to her with an offer she cannot refuse.
Publisher's Summary
New York Times best seller Elle Kennedy brings you a sexy new Off-Campus novel that can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.
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 22, 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 be made only with an assist.

I loved this book. A favorite thing for me is a guy who is happy to become a dad and he's so sweet about the pregnancy and the baby and Tucker was 100% that!!!!! I wish they hasn't waited so long to trust each other with their feeling but their story was sweet and sexy! I'm sad this series is over.
The narration was great, they are both awesome narrators so it wasn't a surprise that they brought these characters to life so perfectly.

I'm Still Swooning for Tucker
Of the 4 Off Campus books, this one seems to be the most polarizing. I almost never see anyone giving The Goal or Tucker any love, so I honestly didn't go into this one with very high hopes. Plus, I wasn't sure how to feel after learning the major plot point of Tucker's story at the end of The Score. Well folks, I completely loved Tucker's story! I've always been firmly #TeamGarrett, but Tucker REALLY gave Garrett a run for his money! Though the book can be read/listened to as a stand alone, it's best enjoyed in order since previous characters do appear.
Tucker was pretty much the perfect book boyfriend. Sweet, loyal, smart, honest, considerate, loving, and an all around good guy. Throw in handsome, sexy, and an alpha personality in the bedroom and holy smokes! There really was so much to love about him and though some will no doubt knock him for being whipped or head over heels for Sabrina, I found all the things he did and said really endearing. I both listened to and read this one and can I just say that Andrew Eiden was absolutely PERFECT as Tucker!? He had just the right amount of sweetness and sexy and don't even get me started on the southern drawl. *swoon*
I really felt like Sabrina got a raw deal in how people perceived her. Just because someone is driven, keeps to themselves, and is not overly affectionate/expressive, doesn't mean they're aloof or a cold hearted b*tch. Her whole life she had to fight and claw her way out on her own, doing whatever she needed to so that she could achieve her goals. I respected the heck out of her. Did she make some mistakes along the way? Yes, but who doesn't? I thought Elle Kennedy did a great job too, with her honest and real portrayal of the major decision Sabrina and Tucker faced. I personally liked Sabrina a lot and though her and Tucker seemed so different in the beginning, by the end, I could see how they actually were really wonderful together.
The epilogue was the perfect way to bring this series to a close and I loved how it brought the books full circle. It was so clever of Elle Kennedy to write the books so that they would overlap at certain times in the timeline. It was awesome to see some scenes from an alternate POV and see how that character experienced and perceived those same events. I always love all the cameos from our previous characters as well. Off Campus is truly a wonderful NA series, and I'm so glad that a spin off series is already in the works and coming soon!

Reached The Goal
If this is truly the final book in the series, it reached -and exceeded- my goal. Readers who have loved this series must read The Goal to hear the story of Tucker and Sabrina... and to get the beloved epilogue and see how the couples have moved on in life together.
This installment of Kennedy’s Off Campus series was flirtatious, funny, charming, sexy with just a bit of angst. Though more serious than the first three books, Tucker's laidback persona sets the tone for the book. While Sabrina is struggling through her personal life, Tucker is the stabilizer. The push and pull of thier relationship, that first starts with a simple hook up, is the premise so readers get a lot of back and forth with their commitment levels along with some internal dialogue. But this is done so well, details that might normally bother me were blended seamlessly. As always, Kennedy constructed a well written story with a steady pace and moving story line.
The narration is spot on, and adds to the flavor of the story. Eiden nails Tuck's accent and Jones brought across Sabrina's attitude, frustration and confusion so well, readers can relate to her. This narration duo paired with Kennedy was perfection.
NOTE: this book occurs during the same time as book three, The Score, so there are some previously seen scenes now from a new perspective.
I review for the Guilty Indulgence Review Site.

really enjoyed it!
I grabbed this book and another by Elle Kennedy on sale with a 1.99 audio upgrade and I really loved it! I loved that it was a bit longer than the romances I usually listen to and it took me a few more days to finish, so I really connected with the characters and found myself really rooting for them to have their HEA. Sabrina was stubborn and felt she was undeserving of happiness but she eventually figured it all out. Tucker was quite swoon-worthy and just a solid rock through all their ups and downs.
I really enjoyed the narration. Andrew Eiden is a new favorite of mine, and he was wonderful. Susannah Jones did a fabulous job as Sabrina. I do wish Andrew would have done more of a southern drawl for Tucker, as I felt Susannah did a better job including the drawl in Tucker's speech than Andrew did(southern accent was almost non-existent) But overall, this was so well done and I'll definitely look for them again as narrators.

Love tucker!
Tucker just may have become my favorite. He’s sweet and chivalrous and knows who he wants. but why didn’t the narrator have the Southern accent like he should?! that was the only thing that I would change. Story was overall predictable but still a very entertaining listen.

Great conclusion to the series
I enjoyed this entire series and fell in love with this whole team and their women. I adore Tucker and he had the patience of Job waiting for Sabrina. This story is an unexpected pregnancy and it was written well but I did get annoyed with how stubborn and insecure Sabrina was for so long. Susannah Jones and Andrew Eiden were amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed this audio.

Oh my lanta!
This book😍 I don’t have a single complaint about the book or the narrators! The narrators in this book were my favorite out of all the narrators within the series! The book was beautiful and my heart flip! My favorite couple is still Garrett and Hannah but gosh I think tucker and Sabrina my second favorite! All in all this series was fantastic! I really wish she would write more about Garrett and Hannah get a glimpse into their future as a couple. But still an amazing series!❤️

The Goal
Holy Macaroni, I liked the first 3 books and just didn’t get around to listening to this one right away.
Well let me tell you, between the tears and the laughter… I loved this book.
Maybe it’s because I connected with the characters. I felt what they felt. I remember what it was like.
I loved how good Tucker is. I love how determined and strong Sabrina is.
I love how much Tucker loves Sabrina; I can’t blame either of them for the wait. Because trust really does plays a huge part in this story. But wow it was the perfect way to end the series.
I am a fan of both narrators, I loved that they didn’t sound immature, they made them sound like the adults they were.

I’m Annoyed
I have listened to a lot of Elle Kennedy books and I’m pretty sure this was my least favorite! I was so annoyed by Sabrina. Yes I get she wasn’t loved and didn’t know what that was like but all she does is push Tucker away even when she is love with him and she won’t except his help at all! I just wanted to smack her and tell her to get over herself! The last hour in the book really started to finally show me the light at the end of the tunnel and I wish it would have come so much quicker because it was the best part of the book! If you can make it through this book I promise the next book is worth it! I didn’t realize these 4 books came before the Briar U series and I started with the Briar U books which are all amazing!!! So please don’t stop with this book if you find yourself as annoyed as I was!

Loved this! Off Campus - book 4
I was a little bit worried that I wouldn’t like Sabrina, she sounded very ‘up herself’ to start with but as the story went on I grew to like her more and more. Narrators were good and I couldn’t stop listening!

So much angst it killed me!
I really enjoyed the off campus series but I have to say this was my least favourite of the 4 stories.
I absolutely loved Tucker, you just could not fault him at all. He was so sweet and supportive. But I really struggled to connect with Sabrina. She just come across so selfish to me. Tucker was constantly waiting on the side for her to let him in closer but she happily held him at arms reach and took him when she wanted him. Not to mention she never once asked how he was feeling about the pregnancy or asked what he wanted to do. That really got to me, and when he FINALLY told her he loved her she ignored him and literally said she wanted him to say it again at a better time for her. WHAT?! What better time to confess your love then after the birth of your baby. I totally get she was trying not to trap him but the poor guy couldn’t have made it any clearer that he wasn’t going anywhere. I just couldn’t deal with the angst!!!!!
I loved that the story included all the other characters and even gave us a base for what was to come in the first book of the Briar U series which follows on from this series. I have already read ‘The Chase’ but I will be re reading now I’ve realised it comes after the off campus series because there were character references that I’ll understand now!
Over all I’m glad that Tuck & Sabrina finally got their HEA. I loved that all the big burley hockey boys were swooning over their little baby niece after she was born, even Dean!
I listened to the audiobook via audible and enjoyed the performance of the narrators.

good but often emotionally painful
I think if I had realised how hard going this would be emotionally speaking I may not have got the book - as I found most of it to be. I did think it was good, real and well read...I just dont find this level of angst appealing, even with a happy a happy ending. it wasnt over the top silly and unnecessary drama, which I find juvenile and really annoying, more that the struggles were just a little too real for too much of the story. I read this genre as escapism, and so was not the escape I was seeking. often sweet and hot, and some good humour thrown in, just not enough for me.
