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.

I needed a break from my usual action-packed supernatural books and thought I'd switch it up with some entertaining contemporary romance. I definitely was not disappointed when I picked up The Deal by Elle Kennedy!
This was such an entertaining easy read and I devoured it in two days! Don't get me wrong, the characters without a doubt had their flaws, but they were so cheesy and funny that I couldn't help but root for our main two, Hannah and Garrett. I really enjoyed how the perspectives changed between the two also!
Based upon my history of rom-coms and other contemporary romances, I already knew what to expect based upon the synopsis of the book. Despite ultimately knowing what is inevitably bound to happen, I can't help but love books such as this very one! I loved the type of humor and was kept on the edge of my seat whenever I main protagonists would have a crisis or encounter forces that tried to tear them apart.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and how our "broken" characters were able to find one another and help the other heal. It was a great, funny, steamy, and pretty dang cute!
