Plot:
Dean Di Laurentis and Allie Hayes could not be more different. He is a complete and total player with a reputation on campus. And Allie just ended her second long-term relationship and she's only been with two people. Allie is trying to avoid her ex after breaking it off and calls her bestie, Hannah, for back up. But she's out of town so she tells her to go crash at Hannah's boyfriend's house. Did I mention her best friend's boyfriend is the captain of the hockey team and lives with Dean? He is unashamed about hitting on her and she’s resisting all his charm… for now 🥵

Writing:
As with the whole Off-campus series this one is dual POV. Writing is fast paced, easy to read and it's less than 400 pages. It's VERY spicy 🔥 I think the spiciest so far in this series. And I LOVED it. The text messages 💬 wow! There were two twists at the end of the book that I for real did not see coming. Which sort of gave it something else so I think that makes the book even better.

Tropes: bd$m, exhibitionism, voyuerism, fling, one-night stand, secret dating

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this book. I thought Dean and Allie had great banter which showed great chemistry between them. While outlandish at times, I thought the spicy scenes were fun. Both characters and their relationship go on a well rounded journey as characters and as a pairing.

I thought this book was more enjoyable then the previous two books because there was less sexism and internalized misogyny.

I will not apologize for being in my hockey romance era 🥰 Just like the first two books in this series, I ADORED this book! First of all, I LOVE Allie. She’s a lot like me— being relationship oriented, having an overwhelming love for her friends, and prioritizing her future. Dean— my god, Dean. I STRONGLY disliked him in the first two books and even at the beginning of this one he gave me the ICK… the sexism & misogyny he radiated was 🤢 BUT I fell in love with him as he fell in love with Allie. I loved the deeper themes in this book— especially the plot about grief + healing. Although we saw Dean grow in his personal life, I would’ve liked to have seen him grow out of his offensive views towards women. Yeah, Allie changed his views somewhat. But we didn’t really get to see him on the other side of his objectifying views.
