Off-Campus Boxed Set by Elle Kennedy

Enter the world of Briar University with the complete Off-Campus five-book collection by bestselling romance author Elle Kennedy.

This official Piatkus paperback box set brings together the five central books in Kennedy’s hugely popular Off-Campus series: The Deal, The Mistake, The Score, The Goal and The Legacy. Set around college life, friendships, relationships and ice hockey, the series combines contemporary romance with humour, emotional drama and interconnected characters.

Hachette UK officially identifies ISBN 9780349449906 as the Off Campus Boxed Set and confirms that it contains Books 1–5 of the series.

For readers who want to experience the entire original Off-Campus story in order, this boxed collection is a convenient way to own all five books together.

Book 1 – The Deal

The Deal introduces Hannah Wells and Briar University hockey player Garrett Graham.

Garrett needs help improving his academic performance, while Hannah has her own reasons for wanting Garrett’s assistance. Their arrangement begins as a mutually useful deal but becomes increasingly complicated as friendship, attraction and genuine emotions enter the picture.

The novel is known for combining fake dating, college romance and hockey romance elements with witty dialogue and emotional character development.

The current Piatkus paperback edition of The Deal is catalogued at approximately 400 pages.

Book 2 – The Mistake

The Mistake shifts attention to John Logan, one of Garrett’s hockey teammates, and Grace Ivers.

Logan is confident and popular, but underneath his easygoing personality he is dealing with uncertainty about his future. After making a mistake that damages his connection with Grace, he must decide whether he is willing to put in the effort required to earn another opportunity.

The book features second-chance romance, college hockey and he-falls-first elements.

Hachette’s Piatkus publishing information lists the current reissue as a 400-page extent, while finished-copy retailers commonly count around 323–336 numbered pages.

Book 3 – The Score

The Score follows Dean Di Laurentis and Allie Hayes.

Allie is dealing with major changes in her personal life as graduation approaches, while Dean has a reputation for enjoying life without becoming seriously attached. Their unexpected connection challenges both characters’ expectations about relationships and what they want from the future.

Hachette describes the book as part of the adult contemporary Off-Campus romance series, and the current Piatkus paperback is generally catalogued around 384–400 pages, depending on how the edition’s physical extent is counted.

Book 4 – The Goal

The Goal centres on Sabrina James and John Tucker.

Sabrina is ambitious and has carefully planned the future she wants after university. Tucker is quieter than some of his teammates, but his relationship with Sabrina creates unexpected changes for both of them.

The official Hachette description highlights tropes including college hockey romance, he falls first, one-night stand, accidental pregnancy and grumpy/sunshine dynamics.

The Piatkus edition is commonly catalogued at approximately 372–374 pages.

Book 5 – The Legacy

The Legacy returns to the four couples from the previous books and looks at their lives after university.

Rather than introducing one entirely new central couple, the book is structured as four connected novellas, allowing readers to revisit Hannah and Garrett, Grace and Logan, Allie and Dean, and Sabrina and Tucker.

Hachette describes it as a collection showing the characters dealing with major life changes after graduation.

This makes The Legacy particularly satisfying when read after the first four books, rather than as a standalone starting point.

Complete Off-Campus Reading Order

The five books included in this box are:

1. The Deal
2. The Mistake
3. The Score
4. The Goal
5. The Legacy

Elle Kennedy’s official website identifies The Legacy as Off-Campus Book 5, confirming the five-book core sequence.

College Hockey Romance

The Off-Campus series is strongly associated with the modern college sports romance / hockey romance genre.

Across the series, readers encounter:

• college hockey
• fake dating
• second chances
• friends-to-lovers dynamics
• emotional growth
• friendships
• university life
• complicated relationships
• found-family style friendships
• witty banter
• mature romance

Although the books share characters and locations, each of the first four novels focuses mainly on a different couple.

Because characters continue appearing across later books, reading them in publication order gives readers the best experience.

Setting

Much of the series takes place around the fictional Briar University, particularly its student community and hockey programme.

This shared environment helps connect the different romances. Characters who play supporting roles in one novel may later become central characters in another.

That interconnected structure is part of the appeal for readers who enjoy romance series where they can continue following familiar characters instead of entering a completely unrelated world with every book.

Adult Content Note

The Off-Campus books are adult / New Adult contemporary romances and contain explicit sexual content, mature language and adult relationship themes.

They should therefore not be catalogued as children’s books simply because the characters are university students.

For WooCommerce, Adult Contemporary Romance / Sports Romance is the more accurate classification.

Who May Enjoy This Box Set?

The Off-Campus Boxed Set may appeal to readers who enjoy:

• contemporary romance
• sports romance
• hockey romance
• college romance
• interconnected standalone novels
• BookTok romance
• romantic comedy elements
• emotional relationship stories
• forced proximity and fake dating
• second-chance romance
• character-focused series

It is particularly useful for customers who want to buy the entire original series together rather than collecting the novels individually.
