The Graham Effect
The Graham Effect | Elle Kennedy
6 posts | 7 read
The first book in the Campus Diaries series by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy. 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. ‘[Elle Kennedy] does an exceptional job creating equally flawed and endearing characters and conjuring palpable chemistry between the leads. Sparkling dialogue and a solid supporting cast help to keep the pages flying. As romantic as it is spicy, this will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next installment.’ – Publishers Weekly, starred review

Sadly, I haven‘t prioritized reading this year and this is my first read, yes, in March, but I hope the rut is now over. Decent, but nothing remarkable. 3.5 stars for this long but quick read.

I really enjoyed this! The start of a new series, though technically a spinoff of the Briar U series (Gigi's parents were featured in the Briar U series and now she attends the same school). I love that she also plays hockey for the women's team, and falls for the badboy of the men's hockey team. Great steam, great storyline, great vacation read 🫶

marleed Did you go on vacation with your mom!? And omg, Shug, I love following her on instagram! 11mo
swishandflick @marleed YES! We got lots of fun videos I'm working on editing. And it was so funny, someone came up to her at the pool like "oh my gosh, you're Faith from Tiktok!" ? 11mo

This was okay. The characters were sweet and I liked watching them fall in love and help each other overcome past challenges but the steam overpowered the story in a way that I found a bit annoying. Maybe because I listened on #audio ? Though if hadn‘t listened to it, I might not have finished it. #bookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Sometimes it definitely feels like the story/steam balance can get out of whack. 11mo

Oh and these as well that I forgot to put in the bigger picture. These ones were actually a surprise, even though I was with the daughters when they bought them. 🤣🤣

Normally I'm not a fan of second generation romance books but this was a fun one...very standalone whilst still letting us visit with old friends. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 read. #LittensLoveRomance #bookspin @thearomaofbooks
