The Goal

🌶️ Spice Level: 6/10

Description:
Sabrina James has her entire future mapped out. She’s determined to graduate from college, get into law school and build a successful career that will take her far away from her difficult past. The last thing she needs is a relationship—especially with John Tucker, a gorgeous Briar University hockey player who believes in love at first sight. But after one unforgettable night together, Sabrina discovers that keeping Tucker at arm’s length isn't going to be as easy as she thought. When an unexpected pregnancy changes everything, Tucker is determined to step up and prove that he wants more than just a casual relationship. With hockey romance, accidental pregnancy, opposites attract, a fiercely independent heroine, a sweet and supportive hero, instant attraction and plenty of emotional tension, The Goal is a steamy college romance about ambition, trust, family and learning to let someone in.

Reviews:
Readers often highlight The Goal for its emotional storyline, strong chemistry and the contrast between Sabrina's fiercely independent personality and Tucker's warm, supportive nature. The unexpected pregnancy adds a major emotional element to the romance, while the hockey setting and college atmosphere keep it firmly within Elle Kennedy's signature Off-Campus world. The book contains multiple explicit open-door scenes, but the spice doesn't overshadow the relationship or the character development. Readers who enjoy hockey romance, accidental pregnancy, opposites attract, strong heroines, sweet heroes and emotionally driven contemporary romance may particularly enjoy this one.
