The fantastic news is this is the first in a new series for Kennedy. All of the secondary characters here were interesting and have enough personalities to give us stories to come. I cannot wait. She at least has her new physiotherapy career and friends to look forward to. Additionally, it helps that she and her neighbor have a friendly rivalry going. This story hooked me with out the presence of a highly original plot, and I think there’s something major to be said about that.

At the podium in the lecture hall, Professor Tolbert delivers what I’ve come to refer to as the Disappointment Speech. It’s the third one in six weeks. The Deal is the perfect choice when you’re looking for something engaging, sexy, and light—with a lil' dose of depth to trigger your emotions. A pinch of the plot, since the blurb in this case does its job well: Music major, Hannah, has been through a traumatic event—one that has basically crippled her love life, and for good reason. I tend to stay away from the NA genre. I have an 18 year old son away in college. Don't want to be imagining all the shenanigans that he might be getting up to. But I have read a few good college books. Seriously, I knew a girl who slept her way through half the basketball team and the majority of the soccer team.

Overview

For some time now, I’ve been taking my “NA fix” in small dosages, mainly because they all started to look the same for me and I got a little tired. So imagine my surprise when this book swept me off my feet! It is amazingly written, is funny, it’s sweet, it’s romantic, it has enough angst (not much) and drama to keep us entertained, and I loved the banter between the MC’s and the whole “friends-to-lovers” premise. It felt extremely real and I was able to completely connect with the story. Definitely one of the best NA books I’ve read in a while. You should try it! The champion of one-night hookups, Travis, won’t make things simple for her, though. He will try his hardest to gain her attention the more she attempts to avoid him. Delicious, complicated and drama-filled . . . I read it in one sitting, and you will, too’ L. J. Shen, USA Today bestselling author I devoured the ebook versions of this series when I first started reading romance, and I loved it then. Garrett’s father tells Garrett he expects him to come over for Thanksgiving. Garrett brings Hannah, since they’re officially together now, and they meet Phil’s girlfriend. He’s clearly abusing her too. Garrett leaves after an angry conversation with his father.

This book was everything I wanted it to be and I found myself laughing out loud so much it was almost creepy! Well, okay I suppose it actually was creepy for the people who saw me reading it. *lol* But I just couldn’t help myself! Read a full summary of The Deal by Elle Kennedy below. If you can’t remember what happened in The Deal and you need a refresher, then you’re in the right place. What happened in The Deal? After a few days of trying his best to wear her down, he finally comes up with an idea: he'll help elevate her social status by pretending to date her -- thus making her more likely to catch the eye of her crush IF she'll tutor him. She finally relents and the deal is formed. I really like the love story between Hanna & Garrett! I love that Hanna at first has her eyes set on someone else and that Garrett isn't interested in having anything serious with anyone, but in the end the two end up completely in love with each other after hours of tutoring sesisons, the trust they develop in each other, and especially, after seeing how compatible they are despite their differences. These two are a VERY funny couple, with absurd fights that made me really enjoy their story, super tender, sweet & heartbreaking moments and truly unconditional love. What a breath of fresh air this one was! I really, really enjoyed it! I read many college romances and for me this was one of the best. Evn if the storyline is predictable, I enjoyed it. Both Hannah and Garrett were such endearing and relatable characters. They were not perfect. They have fears and insecurities and they felt real. Hannah is a great heroine. She’s smart, beautiful and sassy. Despite her past she’s a strong girl. She wants to have a normal, heathy relationship and she’s not as damaged as I expected her to be. I liked the fact that she wasn’t shy. She speaks her mind, she’s honest and she's caring. I found her a little annoying at times (in the beginning), but overall she was a great heroine.Despite the simple, not so original plot it was a refreshing read. Even if at first sight it's very similar with other college romances, “The Deal” was a captivating story from the start. Written in dual POV, which I really, really enjoyed, this NA is about two people, Hannah and Garrett who apparently are very different from each other, but as the story progresses they will find they are more compatible they have thought. In more ways than one. Just out of curiosity,” she says, “after you wake up in the morning, do you admire yourself in the mirror for one hour or two?” “Two,” I reply cheerfully. “Do you high five yourself?” “Of course not.” I smirk. “I kiss each of my biceps and then point to the ceiling and thank the big man upstairs for creating such a perfect male specimen.” I loved the way their relationship developed almost by accident. Neither of them meant for it to happen. They just began hanging out, spending time together, and one thing naturally led to another. (Side note: after reading about them watching Breaking Bad together, I kinda want to watch the show too!)

Even though he needs the money to support his family, Michael resolves to assist Stella so that nobody else might be able to make use of her generosity and naivety. For my angst whores out there, I don't know if this would be enough for you...but for those of us who aren't always in the mood to feel nauseous when reading, this is a great option when you need an angst break.She has no intention of falling in love with a frat boy, but she can’t help herself from being drawn to Jase, and it appears that their passion is mutual.
