Truth is, since each of these novels center on a different couple, there is no need to read them in a specific order, because they can be read as standalone. You might be wondering if you have to read the Off Campus books before reading these novels, or even if it’s mandatory to read the Briar U series in order. They could be no more different, because he is into video games, hockey, and tattoos… and the worst thing is, that he is the best buddy of her brother. The Chase, book 1 in the series, tells us about the romance between Summer and Colin. In the first novel, for example, the main character is Summer, while in the second one is Brenna Jennsen (who will be introduced in the first volume). In fact, I kind of missed all of the characters for a couple of days after finishing.The Briar U book series tells us about 4 different steamy romance stories starred by side characters of the original series by Elle Kennedy. The secondary characters also added to the humor factor of the book, especially Hollis and Rupi.

The Risk checked so many of my ‘what I love in a book’ boxes and I enjoyed reading it from start to finish.īrenna’s chemistry with Jake is off-the-charts hot, but it’s of the slow-simmering variety-one of my total faves. Slow Burn Sports Romance with a Forbidden Twist Jake is sweet and supportive and I loved him so. Other than a couple of hiccups, though, you would never know that he’s inexperienced with how to be a good boyfriend. Hockey has been his whole life and never left much time for relationships. He’s almost finished with his stellar Harvard career and he’s about to go pro. Her fierce and feisty attitude is a refreshing change of pace, and she isn’t afraid to speak her mind or put someone in their place.Īnd then there’s Jake. The best part about Brenna is that she is a strong and independent woman who really doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. The Risk Summaryīrenna Jensen is the daughter of the Briar U hockey coach, so dating the captain of their biggest rival’s hockey team is the literal definition of “sleeping with the enemy”. Not only is The Riskan enemies-to-lovers romance trope, but it also has the forbidden romance angle covered and it works really well. From the snappy banter to the well-developed characters, plus her obvious knowledge of the sport she’s writing about, I love visiting the Briar University world with each new book.

I swear Elle Kennedy has the new adult sports romance genre on lock.
