About this listen

Welcome back to Briar U!
Discover the next generation in this icy-hot spin-off series from The Queen of Hockey Romance, Elle Kennedy!

Listen to The Graham Effect now for the perfect grumpy x sunshine romance!

Hockey's golden girl just made a deal with the bad boy . . .

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.

Critic Reviews

'Utterly adorable, completely charming, and sexy as hell, The Graham Effect has everything you'd want in a college romance - a grumpy/sunshine pairing, a very steamy 'steam room' scene, and a hockey-playing heroine!' Meghan Quinn

'Sexy hockey player? Check! Brand new series from Elle Kennedy? Check! The Graham Effect is a sexy, fun, delicious read, don't miss it!' Jill Shalvis

'The Graham Effect is peak Elle Kennedy writing - magnetic banter, intoxicating chemistry, and plenty of spice. I devoured this book in one sitting' K.A. Tucker

I loved the story line and the readers were great except the Australian accent I was cringing every time he spoke. He sounded more like a New Zealander.

Great story line with twists

This book was engaging from the start. It had loveable characters from Gigi and Ryder, to the supporting characters. I didn't realise it was connected to the Off Campus Series that I had recently read, until the familar characters Garrett Graham's and Hannah Wells (as Gigi's parents) and her 'uncles and aunts' names were mentioned. It was perfect how Elle Kennedy interweaved the characters. There was great foreshadowing with suprises along the way which were wonderful additions to a great story. It can be read as a stand alone or a continum from the Off Campus Series (their characters daughter). As always CJ Bloom and Teddy Hamilton were incredible in their narration with the exception of Beckett's Aussie accent. As an Aussie I laughed at the attempt but saying that I couldn't stop listening.

The Perfect Rom Com Book - LOVED IT

Loved it!

Gigi and Ryder knew what they wanted and went for it.

I really enjoyed how things weren’t all tied up in pretty bows and they didn’t get every success because it felt more authentic.
