The Deal is the first book in the Off-Campus series, a series that follows the love lives of four hockey players. This is the story of Garrett and Hannah.
Although this is the first book, this is the book that sold me on the series. Its a light, funny story, perfect for summer days. I truly recommend this story and the whole series!

This is a “pool book” & maybe 2/5 spice or about medium spice.
It’s about what you’d expect for a college sports romance. It’s was a quick read.

We follow Hannah and Garrett's story: She's a music major and he's a talented hockey players with pedigree.
Trope: fake dating to get someone else's attention;
Content warnings: mentioning of rape; Heroine is a rape survivor (sorry for the spoilers but not everyone wants to re-live painful memories, even if it's done well); abusive parent; domestic abuse; victim blaming
For me, this book was amazing! I truly enjoyed both our MCs..which is rare 0_0
Loved how the relationship developed slowly and with care given Hannah's past (the way in which Garrett helped her put the horror that happened behind her was touching).
Enjoyed the hockey in this one and how that impacts someone's life choices! ^^
Liked Hannah's personality a ton!!!!! She was sooo sure of herself and unafraid to face on both Garrett and herself when needed ! 0_0
Loved the support they gave each other as friends AND as lovers!
THANK GOD, FOR THERE'S NO DRAMA IN HERE!!!!!>..<
What I didn't enjoy as much was the home situation for Garrett..his dad was something...let me tell you...>..>...but at least the 3rd act came together well enough! ^^ I kind of wanted our MC to win a battle..I guess...IDK..>.>
Overall, it was sweet, cute and spicy; low on angst and immaturity, with sports/music being a big part of the story( I LOVE THIS!!!); all done with great banter and friendship between or MCs!
Highly recommend if any of those things above sound good to you!
Enjoy
