Campus Diaries: Book 1
Publication Date: October 31, 2023
The first book in the delicious, icy-hot Campus Diaries series, a spinoff of BookTok sensations Off Campus and Briar U, by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy.
Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women’s national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father’s shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine–a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder.
Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude…and sexy as hell. But he’s still the enemy.
Briar’s new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men’s team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another’s guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he’s angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad.
The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they’re trying to ignore. It’s a dangerous game they’re playing, but the risks just might be worth it.
All Gigi Graham wants is a spot at the Olympics where she can show the world that female hockey players deserve recognition.
Given that her father is practically a hockey legend, she has to work even harder to make a name for herself. Author Elle Kennedy throws a tasty twist in Gigi’s plans in The Graham Effect.
That twist comes in the form of Luke Ryder, a bad boy hockey player with a dream of his own. Two rival teams have merged, putting him in the middle of a less-than-harmonious integration. He has his eye on a summer coaching spot, but it may be slipping out of his reach.
Two very determined athletes who rub each other the wrong way find themselves willing to trade off so they both get what they want. However, neither one counted on the complications of an intense attraction.
The author delivers an engaging romantic comedy filled with plenty of spice as the two main characters fight their feelings. From the sidelines, readers have plenty of entertainment.
The Graham Effect takes two people who are grudgingly united and sprinkles in plenty of sugar and spice to deliver some explosive chemistry.
