Now that I have finished the Off-Campus series (I still have yet to read The Legacy, but we all know that it's the epilogue book), I can now rank the books.

1. The Goal
2. The Deal
3. The Mistake
4. The Score

I never really thought someone would top Garrett as one of my book boyfriends… until I read The Goal. There's something about sweet men and Tucker was the sweetest. As for Sabrina, I related to her not because of her family issues, but because of her drive and strength. Both MCs are much more lovable to me than the others, that's why The Goal made it to my top 1.

If it weren't for Garrett, I wouldn't place The Deal in the second spot. In my opinion, he saved that book. Garrett will always be one of my favorite book boyfriends. I felt that Hannah's character was a bit forced. Her overly cheerful personality seemed like she was trying too hard to be that type of girl.

As for The Mistake and The Score, they were just average for me (The Score was forgettable).

Another fantastic read in this series. I enjoyed seeing Tucker being his nurturing self and I loved how protective he is of Sabrina and their kid. I can't decide whether I like Garrett or Tucker more. But I can say the first book is still my favorite so far. I also loved seeing Sabrina and Dean make amends. I've already started the last book, but I'm excited to continue it and finish up this series.

I found Sabrina to be a little annoying at times with her unwillingness to try a relationship. Tucker is amazing. I also wish some of the antagonists would be put in their place.  I would like to have some of the plot lines to be expanded on. 

Great message and lovely book overall.
