Crap. Right. His finger is still lodged inside me.

But I'm too embarrassed to admit I didn't finish, and since he already did, I feel awkward asking him to keep going. So I nod and say, "Uh-huh. Of course."

"Because I've been thinking nonstop about how I didn't make you come last time."I shrug. "And how badly I want to change that

Clenching my teeth, I scrape back my chair. "Well, this has been fun, but I think Ill go upstairs and kill myself now." 

I quickly descend the porch steps and make my way to the truck. It's still gloomy out. The trees are swaying ominously.The clouds are a thick, dark mass undulating overhead. The sky is more black than gray. And yet my future has never looked brighter.

He's a player in more ways than one... College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance. Now he's going to need to up his game... After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She's not a charity case, and she's not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He'll have to work for it. This time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat...and she plans on driving him wild.

Estuvo okey, es un buen libro para pasar el rato. Al principio como que no me estaba convenciendo pero ya después le cogí cariño. Logan es como bobito, la real a veces me desesperaba. Pero cuando se puso para su número y estaba en modo conquista por Grace ya lo amé (Garret sigue en el top 1). Sí me encantó la relación de Grace y Logan cuando volvieron a salir, fue muy linda y tienen mucha química. Cada que salían los otros personajes del grupito se me sumaban años de vida, los amo. Y que horrible la Ramona esa por diosss, quién la llamó. En fin, que tortura tener que esperar para ver en pantalla la relación de estos y como van a funcionar los cambios que ya hicieron en la trama.

Bueno no estuvo malo, pero el primero me gustó más. Al principio del libro fue como “okay it’s not bad” pero ya luego de que logan la invita a salir fue que conecte con el libro. Logan es un tonto, el cerebro lo tiene como decoración pero bendito haahah. Ame que grace le pusiera todos esos requisitos para que salieran. ODIO A LA RAMONA ESA DIOS, no me importa si después fue buena bla bla la odie. ame al papá de grace y me gustó que el papá de logan haya mejorado. Fue un libro entretenido y lo leí en dos días hahaha (se nota que estoy en summer break) 

p.s ame cada que salían los demás personajes de los otros libro <3

Off Campus, Book #2

Not bad, but it didn’t stick out to me either. Probably won’t read again.

I upped up the rating a bit bc I honestly love Grace so much, I  think she is one of the girls I identified myself the most, that's probably why I don't put the whole 5 ☆ bc I think she is not as developed as Logan, I know the situations are not comparable but the whole Ramona situation needed a lil bit more closure and also Grace finding her own people and not just making friends with her so's friends.

In "The Mistake" by Elle Kennedy, I found myself immersed in the whirlwind world of college romance and sports drama. As a junior and star hockey player, John Logan's life seems like a never-ending parade of parties and hook-ups, but beneath his charming exterior lies a deep-seated fear about his post-graduation prospects.

When Logan crosses paths with Grace Ivers, a freshman with a sharp wit and a no-nonsense attitude, I couldn't help but be drawn into their complex dynamic. Grace, having experienced heartbreak in her freshman year, is back at Briar University with a newfound determination to assert herself and demand respect in her relationships.
What struck me most about "The Mistake" was the depth of character development. Logan is more than just a typical jock; he's a flawed and relatable individual grappling with his own insecurities. Meanwhile, Grace is a refreshing departure from the typical damsel in distress, refusing to be treated as anything less than an equal.
As Logan sets out to win Grace back, I found myself rooting for his redemption and personal growth. Through witty banter and steamy encounters, their relationship evolves into something far more meaningful than either of them could have anticipated.
Elle Kennedy's storytelling prowess shines through in "The Mistake," as she deftly navigates themes of love, forgiveness, and second chances. With its engaging plot, well-developed characters, and palpable chemistry, this novel kept me hooked from beginning to end.

Overall, "The Mistake" earns a solid four-star rating in my book. It's a captivating romance that will leave readers eagerly turning pages until the very end.

See, this was surely more interesting than the The Deal. And I’ll admit Logan and Grace are a tad better couple. Needless to say, the sex scenes were not disappointing. IT WAS FUCKING HOT, MAN. I am a sucker for the “guy chases after the girl, second chance trope”, so I went through with this. Yay for me. This was absolutely swoon-worthy, had quality banter, and this couple had undeniably good chemistry, so gracelogan might just be my Off-Campus ship of choice just yet. They were able to give me that emotional and physical connection they had I wanted to walk onto oncoming traffic and wished the next breath I took was my last. 

But again, too much Y/N vibes it was repulsing. I don’t know why the author is trying so hard to write her heroines as “different from other girls” by constantly putting down other women to get the male lead’s attention.

Meu Deus! Eu adorei a personagem do John, a paciência dele e a maneira como ele é faz com que este livro seja muito melhor do que devia. Em termos de história é meh, mas as personagens fazem toda a diferença.
A história aqui é simples, temos um hookup entre duas personagens, mas depois drama e de repente o rapaz tem que andar atrás da rapariga para ela a desculpar. Já vi que nesta série é uma tendência.

Jay Becerra

I’m not sure what it was about John Logan that made me love him more than Garrett from The Deal. But I did. Adding, the way Grace stands her ground made her such a likable character. These two made this book in the Off-Campus series just so much more enjoyable to me.

It’s not some deep, life changing read but it’s easy and fun and I loved it. There’s no real cliche trope to drive the plot which was different for me as it’s what I usually read. But as I said earlier, I loved Grace and Logan’s characters so it being a character driven novel was alright with me.

Elle Kennedy knows how to deliver a guilty pleasure, lighthearted read and that’s exactly what this is.

EDITED: Ugh! Reread this book again and I loved it just as much as I loved it the first time.

Annalissa Powner 

The fact that I constantly found myself either burst with laughter or swooning like a Love sick teenager makes this book an instant favorite. Was it sad? Yes, and I’m such a beautiful and realish way. Was it adorable? Oh my gosh yes! Was it funny? Would you laugh if you saw a giant hockey players calmly taking pictures of his almost naked best friend as if it was the most normal thing in the world while a football player stands there confused and lost?! Because I sure burst into laughter reading about it. And as much as I loved Garrett I have to say Jonny is my favorite so far.

Então, achei fofo e li bem rápido. Torci pelo casal mas não me importei taaanto assim com eles. Gostei da Grace e gostei do Logan mas não me relacionei com nenhum deles. Torci que eles fossem felizes mas nada demais. É impossível não comparar com Garrett e Hannah, que eu fiquei morrendo de antecipação para eles ficarem juntos e sofri horrores com cada briga. Inclusive, nesse livro, cada vez que eles apareciam eu fiquei com um sorriso bobo no rosto, amo muito esses dois!! 
Enfim, legal mas nada demais. Acho que quero ler os próximos livros só pra ter mais um gostinho da relação do Garrett e da Hannah.

The Mistake: 2/5

Once again. Don't really know how to rate this

Idk what makes these books so addictive but I straight up couldn't put this book down. I read it cover to cover in one sitting. But it's also bad.

Another iconic bad boy Wattpad story just waiting for me to EAT UP.

I'm gonna read the rest of them too. I have no choice.
