Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine–a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder.
Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude…and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy.
Briar's new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad.
The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

I've heard about Elle Kennedy for a long and have some of her books on my Kindle. The author has been on my to-read list for a while, and I finally got around to reading one of her books. Even though it indicates it may be read as a standalone, once I read The Graham Effect . I felt that I should read the Off Campus series first. However, I am more excited to read the Off Campus series, especially Garett and Hannah's story and how it all began. There was so much I enjoyed about this book, and even though I finished it last night, I couldn't get Gigi and Ryder's story out of my mind. There are so many emotions running through my mind right now. I feel I'll compare the two of them to the other couples in the series.
I adored Gigi and Ryder; there was something about the two of them that had me wanting more of them. I was rooting for the two of them all the way through. It didn't take long for me to see that what the two of them had was more than just physical attraction, even if they were too stubborn to accept it. Some of the conversations between the two brought me so many feelings, and I enjoyed reading their interaction. I liked how realistic their relationship was; it took time to develop their feelings, and they didn't fall for each other right away. Of course, I enjoyed the fact that they both played hockey.
I adored Gigi initially, and you couldn't help but love her. You could tell she loved hockey and was motivated to achieve her goals by working hard and without taking advantage of her father's status as a famous hockey player.I'd read a few sports romance stories before, but I enjoy watching hockey, and this was one of my favorites. I can't wait to read Shane and Diana's story next, but I'm also hoping to see Gigi and Ryder again. I'm eager to check out the other of Elle Kennedy's books.
