About This Audiobook

College hockey star John Logan can have any girl he wants, a fact that has never required him to work for anything or examine why connection keeps eluding him. When a thoughtless mistake pushes away the one person who has surprised him, he spends the rest of the year building a genuine case for why she should give him another chance. Elle Kennedy's second Off-Campus novel flips the usual dynamic of its genre by making the male protagonist do the pursuing and the emotional labor.

The dual narration by Lorelei Avalon and Lee Samuels gives both Grace and Logan their own distinct register, Avalon's Grace wry and guarded, Samuels's Logan working to earn back trust rather than simply assuming it. The college hockey setting provides an appealing backdrop, and Kennedy's handling of consent and communication as genuine plot elements rather than afterthoughts gives the romance a contemporary intelligence. At over ten hours, the audiobook has room for both the comedy and the emotional growth.
