Chapter 119: The Deal (Off Campus #1) by Elle Kennedy

This week we deep dive on the first book in Elle Kennedy's popular hockey romance series, which is now available to stream as an on-screen adaptation. Steph shares how she first got into the series and plots this story on the Beartown to Heated Rivalry scale. We talk about the instant appeal of the fake dating trope, Hannah's similarities with Laney Boggs from She's All That, the utopian world of respectful hockey players that Kennedy has created, and the sporty to steamy chart we want to create to categorize all hockey romance books. In our catch up this week, we review Devil Wears Prada 2, Kaitlin goes to a dog birthday at Park-9, Molly lists the highlights from her trip to Washington DC, Steph and Molly recap their day of fun including a stop into the Midnight Lunch pop-up shop. In what we're reading this week, Steph offers a glimpse into the new Lynn Painter book and Molly finds herself reading another F1 romance book.
