As much as I adore Hannah + Garrett and Dean + Allie, my level of attachment to John Tucker in Off Campus cannot be overstated. His love of cooking! The way he handled that Thanksgiving dinner! The man is a walking green flag. And if you’re wondering whether he’ll get his own love story, the answer is a resounding yes.

Tucker is the subject of book #4, The Goal, in Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus series. His love interest? College senior Sabrina James, who has her whole life planned out (graduate, law school, high-powered job, in that order). But apparently “her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.”

Meanwhile, it looks like a surprise pregnancy is in the cards because the book description goes on to say, “when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina’s heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he’ll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.”

Genuinely my jaw is on the floor!
