Summary-
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.
Review-
I had thoroughly enjoyed myself when I read The Deal by Elle Kennedy which is the first book in the Off Campus series. So I was eagerly waiting for The Mistake which is Logan's story. I have to say I thoroghly enjoyed The Mistake. It was cute read filled with humor and friendship. The Mistake was a fantastic new adult read.
Logan is a hockey star. He can get any girl he wants and he usually does especially if it means that he gets to forget that he is infatuated with his best friend's girl. I really liked Logan. He tried not to be a total asshole all the time but he had many issues he was dealing with including an alcoholic father. I liked how Logan and Grace got to know each other and how Logan pursues Grace after he messes up big time.
Grace was a very sweet girl. She was shy but determined to be more open and outgoing. When she becomes friends with Logan unexpectedly she thinks they have something until he messes up. I loved how Grace took her time with getting over her hurt. When she comes back after summer she is ready to leave behind the babbling girl she was and be more confident. She really made Logan work for it.
I loved the chemistry Logan and Grace shared. They were obviously very attracted to each other but they also shared a strong bond of friendship and they genuinely cared about each other. I liked all their conversations and love for action movies. Logan and Grace were both very real and by the end of the book they both grow up so much.
I also loved seeing Hannah and Garrett. I really enjoy all the scenes between the four room mates and I'm really eager to read Dean and Tuck's stories. Dean is next. Yay! All in all The Mistake was a very cute read which totally made me laugh out loud a few times. I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys new adult.
Summary-

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.

Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.
Review-
The Deal by Elle Kennedy was actually one of my most random picks which I thought I'd try after reading the summary and some rave reviews about it on Goodreads. I have to say it was one of the best decisions I've made because The Deal turned out to be a fantastic new adult read which I truly enjoyed.
Hannah has had a bad past but she is almost over it. Now she wants to move on, go on dates and be happy. The only problem is that her crush doesn't seem to know that she exists. The only solution she has is to get help from Garrett. I loved Hannah. She was so sweet and lovely and had so much depth to her. I genuinely liked her as a person and I loved the way she dealt with things.
Then we have Garrett. Garrett is the captain of the hockey team and he wants to play professional hockey after graduation. The thing is, Garrett is not doing so well in one of his classes and he needs to maintain his GPA to confirm his spot on the team. Here he makes a deal with Hannah to help him out in return for him trying to get her crush to notice her. I loved Garrett. His facade of the cocky over confident guy was just that, a facade. Beneath he was a genuinely nice person, dealing with his issues.
I loved the way Garrett and Hannah were together. They start out as friends, more like out of option friends but they were great with each other. They argued but they shared great chemistry and were always looking out for each other. How they understood what the other was going through was so cute to see. They made a really awesome couple.
I also loved Garrett's mates and Hannah's friends. All the conversations were so funny and I kept grinning while reading the book. The Deal was very realistic where the relationship and other factors were concerned. It was a great refreshing new adult romance. I will definitely be reading the next book in this series.
