... Read moreSo, you're here because you love hockey romance as much as I do, right? Elle Kennedy's Off-Campus and Briar U series are absolute gems in the COLLEGE ROMANCE world, especially if you're into spicy hockey romance books! I've read them all, and they never fail to give me that perfect mix of heat, humor, and heart.
Like I said in my original post, The Mistake from the Off-Campus series is my number one! Logan and Grace's story just hit differently – the forbidden aspect, the slow burn, it was all perfectly executed. But honestly, the entire Off-Campus series is a goldmine for hockey romance books. The Deal, featuring Hannah and Garrett, is another fan favorite for a reason – that fake dating trope? Chef's kiss! Then there’s The Score with Dean and Allie, and The Goal with Sabrina and John. Each book introduces you to a new side of the HOCKEY team and the drama that comes with COLLEGE ROMANCE. Even The Legacy wraps up everyone's stories beautifully, bringing back all the beloved characters. If you're looking for books that blend humor, heart, and some serious steam, these are it.
After devouring the Off Campus books, I was so excited to jump into the Briar U series, which follows a new generation of HOCKEY players and their love interests. The Dare quickly became a top pick for me – what a ride with Taylor and Connor! It’s incredible how Elle Kennedy creates a whole new cast of characters while keeping that familiar, beloved atmosphere. You also get to meet other amazing couples in Briar U like Summer and Fitz in The Play, and my personal favorite, Hollis and Risky in The Risk, which has a fantastic enemies-to-lovers vibe. And let's not forget The Chase with Dean's sister Summer and Fitz's roommate Hunter. If you enjoyed the first series, Briar U is definitely worth picking up for more spicy hockey romance!
What makes both the Off-Campus and Briar U hockey romance book series so addictive is Elle Kennedy's writing. She crafts characters you genuinely root for, with witty banter and relatable struggles, all while making you feel the intensity of college life and the passion of HOCKEY. For anyone searching for books like the Off Campus series, you're going to find that perfect blend of heartwarming romance, steamy scenes, and engaging plots right here. They’re not just spicy; they’re genuinely good stories about growing up, finding yourself, and falling in love.
If you haven't started these yet, I highly recommend picking up The Deal or The Mistake first to get a feel for the Off Campus world, then moving onto Briar U with The Chase or The Dare. Trust me, you won't regret diving into these incredible college hockey romance novels. They truly are some of the best Elle Kennedy hockey romance books out there, and I find myself re-reading them often when I need a feel-good, spicy hockey romance book fix.
