About this listen

She's about to make a deal with the college bad boy....

Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice, even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.

...And it's going to be oh so good.

All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he's worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he's all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.

Great book, downfall was the female narrator.

Loved the book, great story. Only downfall was the female narrator, she was terrible. I won't buy the 2nd book purely because she is narrating again. I would have scored all fives, if they had a different female narrator. Christian Fox was perfect.

Great Read

Really enjoyed this book! Story was great, characters were great, male narrator was great but the female narrator was very monotone with no expression whatsoever, which was a bit disappointing. Overall though I really enjoyed this one, highly recommend

Fun and easy read!

A comfortable collage romance, nothing too scandalous or emotionally scarring. It touches on some very real subjects, but nothing that derives angst. Wellsie and Garrett are cute, their development is cute and the end game to the third act is cute. So to sum up … it was cute.

Good story, not great narration

I liked the story and really like Garrets narrator but Hannah’s narrator was not right. Slow, not much emotion and didn’t feel like the right voice for her character.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this book and the characterisation of Garrett in particular. But I would have enjoyed more if there was a different narrator for Hannah. I had to listen at 1.2 speed as she was very slow. She also has a very flat voice and it did not fit the character. It was like listening to one of the voice actors from Daria. But thr narrator for Garrett was great.

Elle Kennedy does it again

I love this Author and the thought that goes into these characters back stories. Garret and Hannah were awesome to follow and both relatable. If you haven’t read any of Elle Kennedy - get to it! She’s amazing !!

Great story - terrible female narrator!

Loved the story and the male narrator but the female was terrible! She sounded like she was drunk with a cold and whiney! Wish someone else read it.
Still story and male make up for it (if you can ignore her).

A great story and romance

I started with not enjoying the narrator her voice was a 💞💕little, well not my favourite but after listening for a wile I got over my judgement and really enjoyed the looming romance between these 2. I will listen to the next book in the series, so unlike a lot of other narrators that I don't enjoy It won't stop me for listening to this author.
💕💞

Female narrator let this down

Story was perfection, male narrator was incredible, but the female narrator sounded like she was reading out a shopping list while hungover…

Now thats a DEAL!

“Sometimes people sneak up on you and suddenly you don’t know how you ever lived without them.”

I’ve not read any sports romance books and I’m a changed woman, I was hooked! I read this so fast! The Deal has a great plot, I do really like university settings and enjoy seeing characters do some mundane things. Hannah is a super likeable FMC and she felt relatable and real. Also Garrett 🥵
Both of our MC have some trauma they are dealing with and I think they were both executed very well. There were many aspects of the romance that were so sweet and cute also some spicy moments. I’m always a big fan of fun, witty banter and this certainly delivered! At times, laughing out loud!
The secondary characters were also very likeable and I’m keen to see them explored in the other books

• Fake dating
• Sport romance
• College setting
• Opposites attract
• Boy falls first
• Enemies to lovers
• Nerd + Jock

I’ve already picked up book 2 from the local library and I’m really excited to keep going with this series.
