Summary

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.

Hockey's golden girl just made a deal with the bad boy . . .

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.

Critic reviews

'Utterly adorable, completely charming, and sexy as hell, The Graham Effect has everything you'd want in a college romance - a grumpy/sunshine pairing, a very steamy 'steam room' scene, and a hockey-playing heroine!' Meghan Quinn

'Sexy hockey player? Check! Brand new series from Elle Kennedy? Check! The Graham Effect is a sexy, fun, delicious read, don't miss it!' Jill Shalvis

'The Graham Effect is peak Elle Kennedy writing - magnetic banter, intoxicating chemistry, and plenty of spice. I devoured this book in one sitting' K.A. Tucker

i felt like i was coming home

loved Gigi’s narrator, personally would have liked a deeper voice for Ryder but still enjoyed it

6/5

I’ve been laughing, crying, grinning and smiling since finishing this book. it was truly everything i wanted and so so so much more. the characters, the family, the bonds, laughs and jokes. the tender moments and the friendships, just made this all so perfect - i cant stop crying.

the off-campus series is engraved into my heart. those characters feel like my family, they bring me so much joy and happiness daily when I think about them and to be back with them and seeing them as parents, made me indescribably happy.

gigi was such a wonderful mfc. i loved that she inherited her passion for hockey from garrett and it was great seeing the challenges she faced with having such a famous dad. she was a perfect partner for ryder and she’s was just so cool.

ryder was so interesting, his backstory was devastating but my heart all but burst when hannah treated him as her own 🥹 he supported gigi and stood up for her, he grew a lot as a character and im really happy at the bonds he created and closure he got!

their relationship has the perfect blend of banter, chemistry, playfulness and tenderness. they were so well matched together and i am so happy with how their relationship played out!!

now garrett graham 😮‍💨 that man is the love of my life and seeing him in dilf mode did things to me 💐🫦😮‍💨🤭😩he’s so attractive, my word. i was so pleasantly surprised at how much he was in it. i was cackling at some of the scenes, he’s not lost his touch and i love him so much. ‘you can call me mr.graham’ ‘Do you realize I’m Garrett Graham?’ 😭🫶🏼 AND HE STILL CALLS HANNAH ‘WELLSY’ my heart exploded. i know people will probably be mad for how he reacted to the plot twist but i think it was so important to his character, to show that he’s still growing and learning to navigate life with his past but through parenthood. AND HIS TALK SHOW WITH JAKE. 1000000 stars for that alone.

seeing dean and logan was a treat 😩 and glimpses of their kids. cant wait to see more of them. and i was kicking and giggling when jake made appearances. garrett and Jake forever ✌️

this book make me feel everything. i laughed, cried, smiled, but i felt like i was home. im so excited for the next books to come and this was the perfect opening to the series.

For All fans of Hannah and Graham

With Hannah and Garrett being my ultimate favorite Elle Kennedy couple, I had HIGH expectations - and they were met.

The MCs had memorable personalities and great chemistry
The supporting cast was as it should in a first book in a series with lots of potential for a great series
It is her best hockey romance since the off campus series (better than briar U)

As always outstanding job from these talented narrators 🥰

Spoiler:
Only negative was the overused foster kid trope.

Love, love, love

I loved this visit back to the Off Campus world, a generation later. Hockey romance is definitely where Elle Kennedy’s strength lies. I really enjoyed the story & as always, Teddy Hamilton is the perfect narrator for this story on Audible! 4.4/5 😊

Going home

Loved this booked and the world is now so familiar and comforting. You really root for this couple and enjoy their story and character growth. Missed a trick in utilising the wide cast of previous characters but loved it regardless.

Really enjoyed

The first book in the new Campus Diaries series and it is a next gen book as Gigi the FMC is the daughter of Garrett & Welsey from book 1 of the Off-Campus series. I was worried Elle was going to make Gigi the female carbon copy of Garrett in her personality, mannerisms etc but was pleasantly surprised that other than sharing a passion and talent for Hockey like her dad Gigi is her own fully formed person/character. Ryder (aka Luke) the MMC is the broody silent type and it takes a while for us to get to know him as a character but i enjoyed seeing more of his personality come out as the story went along. He hasn't had an easy upbringing and initially has some preconceived opinions on Gigi and how easy her life must be because of who her dad is. The initial meeting between these two amused me and overall I really enjoyed the dynamic, humour, banter and chemistry between them, the book was a bit clunky with its pacing after the initial meeting between these two as alot of side characters are introduced so it felt a bit info-dumpy. I loved seeing Hannah & Garrett again and I thought they were involved in the story the right amount so these beloved characters didn't overshadow this new story, I enjoyed the fleeting glimpse we got of Gigi"s Uncles aka the other boys from the Off-Campus series, I adored Hannahs relationship with Ryder and Garretts appearances always made me smile. Overall this was a fairly lighthearted read that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish, the side characters were fun, the main characters and their relationship were interesting, heartwarming, emotional and the spice was great. Both narrators gave fab performances that I enjoyed. 🌶🌶🌶
