The Deal by Elle Kennedy
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
“Baby, I could watch you watching paint dry, and I still wouldn’t be bored.” Garrett Graham, my own personal sweet-talker.
- The Deal
Tropes: Sports (Hockey), College, Fake Dating, Reformed Player, Only One Bed
Spice Scale: 🌶🌶🌶🌶
CW: Rape, Physical Abuse, Parental Abuse, Violence
The Deal was soft, swoony, and funny. Hannah was a sassy heroine and Garrett was cocky and confident. They had great chemistry. Their witty banter and bickering was funny without being too over the top, and they had amazing physical chemistry. But they also connected with each other on an emotionally vulnerable level that was new for both of them. It was sweet, and I couldn’t help rooting for them.
Like Hannah and Garrett didn’t expect the feelings they ended up developing for each other, I truly did not expect to love The Deal as much as I did. It was a quick and easy read, entertaining, and definitely ended up being one of my favorites in the series.
