The Deal
4.5 STARS TO WELLSY & GARRETT!!!
Hannah Wells has been trying to catch Justine Kohl’s eyes for a while now… by staring at him during class. She’s painfully aware of her lack of social skills, hence the deal she made with Garrett Graham. Garrett’s failing a class and he needs to remedy it soon if he wants to play hockey. Hannah will tutor him and in return, Garrett will help her expand her social skills and boost her popularity. It’s a win-win situation that’s supposed to leave them as friends at most. But one kiss changed everything. Could Garret persuade Hannah in giving him a chance? Will Hannah let a player in her heart? Could two different people be perfect for one another?
“We studied. We watched TV. I went home late. That’s what happened. Got it?”
One of my best reads this 2015!
I didn’t expect to love this book so much because I haven’t read anything of Elle Kennedy. My friends are also not familiar with her, so I went in blind thinking that this will be an okay read. I’ve never been happy to be so wrong! This book didn’t only made me tear up and fall in love but the wicked sense of humor of these characters left me laughing so hard my sides ached! This is definitely one of the fun reads despite Hannah’s past. It was horrible but I love how she survived and managed to fight her demons.
I really wanted to give this a five-star rating but the reason behind the ‘break up-making up stage’ is fairly common. I expected Hannah to respond differently. She brought heartbreaks for a couple of chapters because of a wrong decision. My heart went out to Garrett because he did everything he can and more and didn’t give up. *sigh* Garrett was a different person from the one we met. Being a one-woman man looks good on him. I still love them together though.

The Mistake
5 STARS TO LORRIS LOGAN & GRACE!!!
Hockey player John Logan finally met his match in Grace Ivers, the freshman brunette he couldn’t get out of his head. One movie night led to another that eventually resulted to heartache. Grace fled that summer and came back a new woman and has no interest in rekindling romance with Logan. But if there’s one thing Logan most excelled at is being stubborn and no one can stop him from getting his girl back.
“Liar,” I accuse. “Of course you want to be my girlfriend. And FYI? You are.”
Logan was my favorite in this group. I am so very, very excited for his book and it was everything I’ve thought and wanted it to be! He’s a perfect boyfriend once he put his focus and effort into it. He’s just so endearing. I also love Grace. She’s a tough cookie. I love that after being pushed to her limits she stood her ground and power on. She didn’t let people walk over her and I love, love it! These two together are so adorable and having an exploding-hot chemistry is just a bonus.
I absolutely adore how unique the story line of this book is. It wasn’t your average good girl meets bad boy, fall in love, broke up, make up and they lived happily ever after story. It was a story of friendship, family, second chances and sacrifices too. I’m kind of itching for more because that short Epilogue didn’t really satiate our thirst for these two. Oh well, the chapter before that made me really happy so I guess it works.
