The Goal (Off-Campus Book 4)

I was a little disappointed with this installment of the series. I loved the first half of it & have to say that Tucker is probably my favorite guy. The couple had great chemistry & some very steamy scenes. But Sabrina at times was pretty frustrating. It got rather depressing too. Still a decent read.

What a great ending to a great series! John Tucker is a sweet guy with a heart who knows what and who he wants, Sabrina a goal oriented pre-law student who focus is to get into Harvard and become a lawyer. One night one hook up will change everything at least if Tucker can convince Sabrina!
You always worry if the next book in the series will be as good as the last, well no worries here it's just as good!

Such a great ending to the series, I loved Sabrina..I felt like she was very relatable and what some people may consider bitchy I though she was strong minded and determined to make a life for herself and let nothing get in the way of that..and I think Tucker was the perfect man for her, he was just wonderful and sweet and completely swoon worthy..I loved them as a couple

I devoured this whole series and the 4th and final book is no exception. I was wary at first about the pregnancy story - too often I feel like these stories are one-sided and the woman is always guilted into keeping the baby. Elle Kennedy did a great job of treating this as an adult decision and Sabrina and Tucker fell in love as adults and not just lusty college kids.

I really loved Tucker and Sabrina's book. This was a great comeback after Dean's, which I thought fell down a bit. Tucker was everything you want in a book boyfriend, and Sabrina was so smart and driven. They're a great couple, and even though you know the main storyline going in, there's a lot of character development and a slow evolution of their relationship.

I enjoyed Tucker and Sabrina's love story. Tuck is such the Southern gentleman and he took patience with Sabrina to another level. It was fun to see how his roomies were doing with their girlfriends and just their crazy banter in general. Since there's a spinoff in the works maybe we'll get Fitzy's story with Dean's sister, Summer. Fingers crossed....

The journey for the four housemates is finally over ? This book did take place during the same timeframe as book 3 so brace yourself for the sadness. I feel like a few of the secondary characters mentioned will be part of the spinoff series but fingers crossed the stubborn ones have a challenge on their road to love.

It was fantastic! I loved Garrett & Hannah but Tucker & Sabrina were right there as well. Beau's memorial had me in tears because the writing was so good. I wasn't prepared for Dean's reaction about the baby. However, he & Sabrina had a past. I'm really going to miss these characters. It was a wonderful series & I look forward to your next journey.

I've fallen in love with this series and honestly I want sure I was going to buy Tucks story because Sabrina seemed so unlikable. But she isn't. She's strong, bright, tough, and Tucker is patient enough to wait out her stubbornness. Great story, I'm so glad I bought it. But, um... I'd really like Fitzy and Summers story. Pretty please?

John Tucker wins my award for swooniest ginger hero. : ) And I'm SO happy that Sabrina got her HEA. This story is full of emotional goodness, and I absolutely loved it! Great addition to the series. The pacing/relationship was a little slow for me, but overall everything was done with two thumbs up!

I was looking forward to getting this book. Although it isn't the best of the series, I read it in a couple of days. I was anticipating what I knew was going to happen and I like the characters. It was hard for me to read a quarter of this book because I got frustrated with all the "I don't know if he (she) loves me" b.s.. I think there were entire chapters dedicated to emphasizing that point when it could have moved on and emphasized the difficulty of being young parents or more discussions about their complicated situation.

Have been waiting to learn about the strong silent John Tucker...and I was not disappointed! The man definitely has the patience of a saint!! I loved Sabrina's character...worked her way out of where she came from. I'm glad she continued to chase her dreams...and finally allowed Tucker to join her:) Great read!!

I absolutely lovednthis book, Tuck and Sabrina have to be one of the cutest couples so far.. Sabrina is stuuborn as hell and Tuck is so patient its beautiful.. I enjoyed taking the journey with them on their path to love and family, I loved all the men in this series!!!! Thanks Elle for another heartwarming book....

Elle you did it again. This book was beautiful....this series was out of this world. I thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed this book. Tucker and Sabrina was an unpredictable love story. The supporting cast added to the deliciousness of this book. I will be reading it again. Love this book. Awesome read.

OMG...I loved this book! Tucker is THE best book boyfriend ever, with lots of patience. Took a while to warm up to Sabrina & get past her b!tch!ness. Loved the plot, sad that the book is done :(.

I absolutely love this series!! I read the first three books after they came out and impatiently waited for this one. Somehow, I missed the release and JUST saw it!! John Tucker is PERFECTION!! Absolute, and complete perfection. I'm so glad this was my first book of 2017 ♡

Its definetly a four stars from me !! Lived the book love the who!e series happy yo see returning names for me it was overall a good read and good continuation to the series can't wait for Fitz book something tells

me hiuym and a certain Brown drop out are go a hit it off lol

Wow home run for Elle Kennedy! Last of her fabulous four book series. I just loved all of them. After reading the first books, I was not too enamored of Sabrina, but this book shows just for tough and hard-working she had to be to excel, especially coming from the environment that she did. Tuck is still the sweetheart he always has been and it took a loving gentleman to show Sabrina how to open up her heart.

This series quickly became one of my favorites. Elle Kennedy has a beautiful way of writing that instantly makes me fall in love with her characters and stories. Tucker was everything I expected and Sabrina was so much more. This was a perfect ending to the Off Campus series.

I loved Tuck. Sabrina's character was a surprise in this last in the series. I learned to love her too. Got to hand it to those Hockey Players, they sure know how to move! I can't wait for the spin off or anything new by Ms. Kennedy. Be sure to read them all in the series.

Lovelovelove just finished it! Sweet, funny, flawlessly well written, addictive. I hope the spinoff is about Fitzy and his teammates. He neads a HEA! Love Tucker and Sabrina the passion the banter and love seeing the couples of Briar again. Can not wait for the spinoff!!!!!!!

Loved the Tucker & Sabrina story. Life does have a way of taking twists & turns definitely not we we would have hoped for or wanted. They worked out the situation like some do these days and found the love they needed in the end. Sorry to see this series conclude.

I absolutely loved this series but Tuck has to be my ultimate favorite out of all of the guys. The story was real it happens but the way he knew to be there or not was perfect. They worked together and became a family together. This was a sweet struggle story.

Loved it.the only thing was Sabrina drove me nuts with her stubbornness and her fears about live.And Tucker I wanted to smack him for being too patient but all in all I really enjoyed the book and I Wil be reading Elle Kennedy again!

Wonderful end to the serie. Tuck is my official book boyfriend. The story was nothing what I imagined it would be. Sabrina's background explained her attitude but Tucker's patience and love for her was perfect. Loved it!!!

The Goal is an unpredictable, messy romance that follows a determined, headstrong, stoic law student and a sweet, laidback southern hockey player as they find their plans on thin ice, their goals suddenly beyond their reach. Sabrina and Tucker are two very different personalities headed in two very different directions. Sabrina has one goal... escape. The shame and the frustration of her broken, twisted home life has made her ruthless in her drive toward that escape, her academic goals providing her with the only way out. But that drive, that shame, that proud determination makes for a character that is so closed off, so hardened. She's the polar opposite of John Tucker, the sweet, loveable Texan who might be unsure of his immediate plans, but he knows where he ultimately wants to end up. Sabrina and Tucker thought they knew where they were headed, they each had their own plans for their respective futures, but when their lives tangle, the unexpected threatens everything.

It's a dicey move to take an unlikable character from a previous book and turn her into your next heroine. It's hard to sell that to readers who've been trained to hate that character by the very same author now looking to endear them to her. Full disclosure, I'm a reader that didn't like Sabrina before either. We weren't meant to. So, of course, I was skeptical that I'd come to want a guy like John Tucker with a girl like her. But while she's definitely a tough nut to crack, I very much appreciated what this author chose to do with this character in The Goal. Sabrina isn't like other girls. She's as unapologetically sexual as the horny hockey players in this series. She's as impenetrable and difficult and frustrating as NA male characters typically are.  She's complex and fierce and she has priorities that don't involve long term relationships. She doesn't exude a lot of vulnerability or emotion. She can come across as selfish, but it's not in a malicious way. She's just a girl that has always had to look out for herself and put herself first because no one else ever has. And given all of that, I'd say Elle Kennedy has successfully turned a villain into a heroine, and she's done so without compromising the integrity of her character. I can't get on board with an author taking a character she once vilified and completely altering her personality to fit the new goal of the author, to make her the sweetheart heroine you wish your readers will suddenly fall in love with. I have much more respect and appreciation for Elle Kennedy's choice to ensure Sabrina is still Sabrina. And getting to know her in all of her flaws and rough edges and her maddening stubbornness, I can NOW allow myself to want good things for her despite being so frustrated with her, without feeling like I read a story about a completely different character than the one presented to me previously. This author gets an A for character consistency. A big fat A.

I really enjoyed this installment. It hasn't topped The Score for me as a series favorite, but it's a really beautiful, angsty story about finding new dreams, discovering all the things you want in life even if they were never part of your original plan. It's about deciding what's most important. It's about making the choice to roll with whatever life throws at you as long as the right person is there to hold your hand through it all. Sabrina is a hard heroine to root for. And Tucker is so freakishly nice, he's the polar opposite of the bad boys I typically fall for. But there was something so right about this couple. Even when everything was stacked against them, even when Sabrina fought so hard against the good in her life, even when Tucker should have probably run the other way, I wanted good things for this couple. I wanted their happily ever after. And Elle Kennedy delivers a really solid storyline that took me and these characters exactly where I'd hoped we'd go by way of the road less traveled.

The Goal made me feel all the things. As Kennedy's sports romances tend to do, The Goal is chock full of colorful characters whose banter had me laughing and sighing, swooning and smiling. This story is peppered with amusing moments, times of heartbreak,  seriously steamy, sexy scenes and the most frustratingly maddening storyline of the series. And I really loved it. I love a story that makes me want to scream from the inside out. There's a lot of ways a writer can drive a reader to the brink and this story tested my patience and my tolerance in ways no other book has before. Sabrina takes stubborn to a whole other place and Tucker's patience with her was far more virtuous than mine. But as stressful and angst ridden and damn infuriating as I found their story, it's a deliciously satisfying, honest one and I really, really enjoyed it.
