if you loved the off-campus series, read these four sports romances

Whether it was the found family or the swoon-worthy romances that drew you into Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus series, you’re definitely not alone in that. 

So, from me to you, here are four sports romance series that will absolutely fill that Off Campus-shaped void in your heart and have you binging late into the night.

 

Fulton U Series by Maya Hughes

The series kicks off with The Perfect First, where we’re introduced to the dynamics between Reece, Nix, Berk, and LJ, four football players who live together. The first book centers on the romance between Seph and Reece, and somehow, Maya Hughes even manages to make a game of Nerf wildly entertaining (if you know, you know).

Each book focuses on a different couple, highlighting well-loved tropes like childhood best friends to lovers, secret admirers, enemies to lovers, and the classic forbidden romance with the coach’s daughter. I’ll take any chance to rave about this series. 

 

 

 

Off The Ice Series by Bal Khabra

Summer Preston and Aiden Crawford might just give some of the Off-Campus ships a run for their money when it comes to top-tier chemistry.

Bal Khabra certainly beat the sophomore slump and there's no denying just how well she did so. The first book in the series sets up the vibes for the rest of the series and can I just say it's truly a breath of fresh air. 

If you’re in the mood for a fluffy, feel-good romance that’ll have you grinning at your book like a fool, Collide is a must-read.

Red Zone Rivals by Kandi Steiner

Kandi Steiner's First Catch is the first in her college football series and it's certainly not one to be missed. Told in dual POV, Zeke and Riley take us on an emotional roller-coaster from childhood friends to enemies to lovers. It’s fun, intense, a little sad, but so beautifully written.

On a personal note, the fourth book, Hail Mary, is hands-down my favourite of the series.

If you’re looking to get your sports romance fix fast, this series is the perfect binge.

 

 

   

Hoops Series by Kennedy Ryan

Forbidden Love. Check. Yearning. Check. He falls so hard. Check. Kennedy Ryan's Long Shot is one incredible way to start off a series. 

August West and Iris Dupree are forever etched into my recollection. Their romance is equal parts devastating and breathtaking. This book will crush you just as much as it will heal you. 

Be prepared to cry a lot. August and Iris’s journey isn’t an easy one, but when their love finally finds its way, it’s worth every damn tear.

DISCLAIMER: This book is heavy so check trigger warnings beforehand.
