Is The Goal Worth Reading?
by Elle Kennedy
Ada’s Score
Elle Kennedy's college-hockey romance pairs a driven senior with a hockey player when an unplanned pregnancy raises the stakes. Kennedy delivers the steamy, banter-heavy comfort her fans expect, and the central couple has real warmth. The pregnancy conflict, however, resolves with more convenience than tension, and the emotional obstacles rarely feel like they might actually derail the pair.
“The chemistry crackles and the dialogue is genuinely funny. Kennedy knows exactly what her readers want and delivers it without apology.”

The chemistry crackles and the dialogue is genuinely funny. Kennedy knows exactly what her readers want and delivers it without apology.
Rating: 3.8 / 5
Ada’s reservations
The pregnancy stakes deflate the moment they're raised, resolving too smoothly to sustain drama. Readers wanting genuine conflict will find comfort where they hoped for tension.
Ada’s score reflects both strengths and reservations.
