The central female figure of the Off Campus series is (usually) not super popular, attractive but not drop dead gorgeous (at least at first sight), smart and distinguishes herself by being talented in one area.He ultimately reveals himself to be a jock with a golden heart, a playboy who actually just needed to find The One Every book features one member of the Briar U hockey team, who is super talented, popular and has a reputation as a player.There is something about Kennedy’s formula, across all seven books (and I insist there must be an eighth because the second series out to have four books like the first, and if we’re going there, I insist the fourth book be about Connor) that just works because I was hot for all seven of her leading men.Īnd having read through all intensely and then reread most of them, I think I’m in a good position to break that formula down for erudition of all those curious about what exactly about these novels gets out ladybits tingling. What interested me was why these books grabbed me and didn’t let go in a way that a romance series hasn’t for a long time. I’m not going to do a recap because you can just look up the storylines on Kennedy’s very attractive website.

Those two books, in particular, happen in simultaneous time, so it’s fine whichever you pick up first.

I ended up reading The Goal before The Score and it was fine. If you’re starting the series, I suggest you read the Off Campus set first because these characters are mentioned a fair bit in the Briar U series, but it actually doesn’t really matter in which order you read them. But a Nobel prize-winning economist was not going to win a play-off with four strapping hunks of manhood bringing their killer romance game. I feel a tad guilty because the good angel hovering just above my right ear was pointing me in the direction of the second half of Amartya Sen’s The Argumentative Indian, which to my credit, I had lapped up the first half of. Not only did it chase my blues away, it did wonders for my sex life. What can I say? I had a serious case of PMS and I treated myself to a massive binge of La Kennedy.
