BLURB

Can the passion be contained with a Wednesdays Only Deal?

Hailey

That's it. I'm done. No more dating.

Between catching my cop, ex-boyfriend in a compromising position, a first date from hell – where I thankfully didn’t go to jail, I'm so done with men, and cops especially.

Except.... Mr. Blue Eyes has a proposition I can't refuse.

Austin

A crazy stalker ex is enough to make any man give up on dating.

But what about a Wednesdays Only Arrangement between me and the woman with the crimson shoes?

She's gorgeous, funny, smart, and won't date another cop. I think I've met the perfect woman. Did I mention I was a cop?

What could possibly go wrong with a Wednesdays Only Deal?

Told in dual povs, The Deal is a standalone fire-meets-fire instant attraction rom-com set in the Alexia Chase's Sinfully Addictive World.

EXCERPT

Hailey
The warm evening sun beats down on my shoulders as I chat with Ashley and her group of girlfriends. My brain is on overdrive as I take in their varying sizes of baby bumps. Do not drink the water. I set down the plastic bottle and grab a glass of champagne instead. Much safer.
Ashley frowns. “That’s rude.”
“Please.” I smirk. “You wouldn’t know rude if it smacked you in the face. You realize you’ve been talking non-stop about sex for twenty minutes, and I haven’t gotten any in over nine months.”
“Oh, honey.” Veronica pats my arm. “That sucks. I should know. Before Devin and I got together, I was celibate for almost three years and pregnant for nine of those months.”
“Three years,” I choke and raise the glass to my lips. There’s no way in hell I can last three years. My spiel to Austin was total bullshit. I miss sex. I miss rough, calloused hands sliding along my skin. Firm thighs slamming against the backs of my legs. And a mouth and tongue devouring my sex. I convulse. I miss it more since I met Austin.
I’m about to come unglued between his endless string of memes and movie quotes and my vibrator going on the fritz. Two days shipping has always been my friend. Until the light stopped glowing on my rabbit, and now two days seems like a never-ending chemistry class. I’m about to drive up to the warehouse myself and collect my order.
Buzz. Buzz. My cellphone vibrates in my hand. And just like a crack addict that can’t be away from my fix for ten seconds, I swipe the screen.
Austin: Just how I pictured you.
Heat floods my body. Is he here? Why didn’t he tell me he was coming?
Coming. I convulse as my clit throbs with desire. It’s stupid, but I can’t stop thinking about him.
Me: Standing with a bunch of pregnant women praying I don’t get water instead of champagne?
I study the girls out of the corner of my eye as they talk about the upcoming football training camp.
Buzz. I couldn’t stop the adrenaline racing through me if I wanted to. And I don’t want to. He might be a bad decision, but I’ve made worse. Hell, I met him when I was on a date with a drug dealer at a sex party. You can’t get much worse than that.
Austin: Absolutely. Except, I was talking about the bikini, and those fuck-me shoes.
Fuck me. He said fuck me. Oh, my God. I feel like a fourteen-year-old girl being teased by the hottest jock in school.
Me: Just how did you imagine the fuck-me shoes?
Austin: Digging into my back.

Excerpt


“Jesse, wait,” she breathes. “What are we doing here?”

I don’t hesitate. “What every soon-to-be married man and woman would do.”

She closes her eyes slowly, opening them again with a sigh. “But we’re not married. We’re not actually engaged. We’re not anything.”

“Don’t say that,” I almost bark. “We’re not ‘not anything.’”

Her stare narrows. “Then what are we?”

“I don’t know what you are,” I confess. “But I’m a man who can’t keep his hands off you. Who might die if he has to spend another second not doing to you all the things he’s dreamed…”

Review - The Deal by Elle Kennedy



Title: The Deal
Series: Off-Campus #1
Author: Elle Kennedy
Release Date: February 24, 2015


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.








Yes! Yes! Yes! YESSSSSSSSS!!! Oh don't mind me, I'm practicing my Meg Ryan impression because this book gave me a total f--king bookgasm! Yes, it's the old college jock meets girl story. College jock needs said girl to tutor him because he can't play sports if he doesn't pass his class. I know, it's been done before. But, NOT LIKE THIS! This is a totally new spin on an oldie but a goodie. 

Hannah aced her ethics midterm. Big Man On Campus, hockey team captain, Garrett did not. And if he doesn't get a better grade on his makeup test, he can't play hockey. He needs Hannah, but she wants nothing to do with him. Everything he offers her in exchange for her tutoring services is shot down. Until he finds out who she's crushing on and finally makes her an offer she can't refuse. 

I loved the way this story played out. The way the characters grew very gradually into their feelings for each other; it wasn't rushed, there was no insta-love. It was perfectly timed and it made them more believable as a couple. The dialogue in this book is spunky and funny but also has its serious moments when called for. Elle Kennedy has written a fun and amazingly fresh romance. When I reached the end of this book, I had a big old smile from ear to ear. I want a Garrett for myself! 

The Deal is the first book in the Off-Campus series. Dual, first person POVs. Standalone with no cliffhanger. This New Adult romance definitely deserves a One-Click! 
~ Review by Erin



I am a sucker for a college romance, and the idea behind The Deal was most definitely a winner. It looked sweet and sexy and funny, and it certainly was. Even if there was a little something heavy beneath the surface. 

One crappy grade on one paper is enough to change Garrett Graham's future....unless he can save it. And to save it, he needs the help of Hannah Wells. But Hannah isn't particularly interested in helping Briar's hockey captain bump his GPA. No, Hannah is interested in someone else. 

With a promise to help her in the areas she may be lacking socially, Garrett secures Hannah's tutoring skills. Except one hot kiss and a bucketload of chemistry leads these two down a path neither was expecting... 

There is SO much to like about this book. The dialogue, the flirty, funny, charming banter was on point, and the absolute highlight ofThe Deal. The excellent secondary characters with all their quirks were spot on, and made me hope for more from this new series (Logan next, please!) The slow-but-steady development of Garrett and Hannah's relationship was great, if a little too slow at the start, and very realistic. The sex? Seriously HOT. And Garrett himself? Totally SWOON-WORTHY. 

However, there was one underlying storyline that took away from this excellent book for me. It felt a little heavy-handed early on, although the development and handling in the second half was very good. Each time it was mentioned, it jarred me from an otherwise sensational story, and left me feeling a little...unsure. I admired the characterization of Hannah, for the most part, with all her strength and confidence and that's life attitude, and I loved her with Garrett, but there were moments that felt a little contradictory... It's hard to explain without dreaded spoilers, so I'll say no more on that subject. 

The Deal was otherwise a truly enjoyable, very, very funny and scorching hot book. One I would highly recommend to anyone that loves college romance, or simply straight-up good reads, as I do.
