Known for her ability to create steamy romance with strong character development, Kennedy’s The Goal continues to explore the lives and love stories of college students at Briar University.
This book focuses on Tucker “Tuck” Avery, a charming and talented hockey player who is at a crossroads in his life. Tuck is nearing the end of his college hockey career and is uncertain about his future. He is laid-back and known for his easygoing nature, but when he meets Sabina “Savvy” Dorsey, a driven and ambitious young woman with big dreams of her own, his life takes an unexpected turn.
Savvy is a smart, focused woman who is determined to succeed, especially in her pursuit of a career in business. She doesn’t have time for distractions particularly not a jock like Tuck, who seems to live for the fun and the game. However, the more time she spends with him, the more she begins to see a side of Tuck that surprises her. Despite their very different worlds, their chemistry is undeniable, and what begins as a casual relationship soon evolves into something deeper.
As they navigate their growing feelings for each other, both Tuck and Savvy must confront their personal insecurities and their futures. With each passing chapter, readers are treated to a romantic journey filled with heartfelt moments, steamy encounters, and a genuine connection between two people who challenge and support each other in ways they never expected.
