I have read every single one of Elle’s books, most of them more than once, but I have never listened to any of them and let me tell you, I am so happy The Charlie Method was my first listen!! I adored this book so much when I read it physically, but getting to hear these characters get brought to life was an entirely new world. This was a six star read from me, it was just that good. The narrators did AMAZING portraying Charlie, Beckett, and Will, and I know this will continue to be a reread for me because I adored every minute!!

Thank you so much to Elle Kennedy, Netgalley, Hambright PR, and Dreamscape Select for this gifted audiobook.

This was my first Elle Kennedy book and I'd have to say, I'm definitely a fan now!!
I'll be going back to book 1 of The Campus Diaries Now!

This story starts off with some spice from the beginning and I was here for it! I loved the growth the characters showed! I think I'd have to say I'm team Beckett, but I loved Will's golden retriever self as well!

I can't wait to read more by this author!

This was my first experience with this series, and it’s safe to say, Elle has another fan at her feet!

The relationship dynamics between the characters were so engaging—far more complex and layered than I initially anticipated. What I thought would be a light-hearted rom-com turned out to be much more profound, and I was pleasantly surprised by the emotional depth.

Charlotte is truly a lovable, sweet, and resilient character. I’ve enjoyed watching her evolve throughout the series, and the way she ultimately embraces her true self is heartwarming. Elle has done an exceptional job capturing Charlotte’s emotional journey—her struggles feel so raw and relatable.

As for Will and Beckett, I can’t help but wish for more of them! Will’s gentle, calming presence is so soothing, while Beckett, the thoughtful and endearing Aussie, adds a lovely charm to the story. I never expected to fall so deeply in love with a throuple, but here I am, completely captivated.

Their story had me laughing, crying, and kicking my feet in excitement. The banter, chemistry, and undeniable spice are *chef’s kiss*. While I adore a steamy romance, I’m also drawn to stories that offer depth, growth, and emotional complexity—and this one delivers on all fronts. And a few plot twists o did not see coming. My jaw was definitely on the floor. Definitely a must add to your TBR! 💖

4.5/5 Stars

The Charlie Method is so much more than a sports romance! Each character had an in-depth story of their own that was combined expertly so Will, Beckett, and Charlie all got what they needed from their relationship. This slightly less conventional relationship was, yes, super hot, but also filled with so much heart and comfort. I adored Beckett’s journey from playboy to smitten, and Will’s undeniable care from beginning to end; and, most of all, I loved the way Charlie gained the utmost confidence and acceptance in herself with the encouragement of her boys! However, the biggest impact this book had on me was the adoption story line of the FMC, Charlie.

This was simultaneously one of the hardest, most healing, most anxiety provoking, most enlightening books I have read in a long time. You see, I am an adoptive mom. My kids are from China and so many of Charlie’s thoughts and worries are what I know will be coming for me in the future. Her character’s journey was written with such raw, emotional authenticity. She was given courage to be brave in moments of self-discovery regarding her past and a vulnerability that made me cry several times. There were so many moments that were hard for me to read, to hear Charlotte’s fears verbalize, my heart was gutted for her as if I was HER mom but, hope, growth, and understanding were placed along the way in a manner that I can only hope to emulate as my children get older.

I am thankful Charlotte’s story was handled with such care as to include adoptees as sensitivity readers and a special THANK YOU to the adoptees. From the easy to the hard, the elations to the heartache, through the questioning and discovery, I will never forget her and will think of this story as the conversations come in our future.

The audiobook narration is PHENOMENAL! If audiobooks are your thing, Sean Masters, Teddy Hamilton, and Persephone Lee truly made these characters come to life in spectacular fashion!

The Charlie Method is so great on audio. Each voice actor does so well bringing their character to life. I haven’t tread the first two and didn’t feel lost or confused at all!

This MFM romance kicks off with Charlie meeting the guys on a hookup app. They each know the others outside of the app and it takes a while for them to agree to meet up. Charlie is intrigued by being with them both and nervous it will reflect poorly on her. She’s also balancing genetic testing results and pressure from her family. I connected to her instantly.

Coming off The Dixon Rule, which I absolutely LOVED. This didn’t quite hit has hard for me. It was a little bit of a slow start for me to connect with Charlie, but by the midway point I was fully invested. I feel like all the dynamics of their relationship fit so well together. The audio narration was amazing and they did such a great job.

The dynamics between Charlie, Will, and Beckett are what really make this story shine. Each character has their own baggage—Will is trying to break free from his father’s political shadow, Beckett is dealing with heartache from back home in Australia, and Charlie is navigating her own identity as an overachiever and the feeling of not fitting in with her adopted family. Their interactions are filled with humor and genuine moments that bring depth to their relationships.

As they explore their feelings for each other, we get to see how they each confront societal expectations and personal desires. The chemistry between the trio is electric, but it’s the emotional connections that truly resonate.

Also, if you’re an audiobook fan like me, I highly recommend grabbing the audio version of The Charlie Method. The duet narration is excellent! The narrators bring the character’s voices to life with such authenticity that you feel like you’re right there experiencing the journey with them. Trust me friends, it adds another layer of enjoyment to this already fantastic story.

Review: 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕄𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕕 in audio is a MUST if you love Elle Kennedy’s stories! Elle was able to cast three narrators that absolutely brought these characters to life. Persephone Lee, Teddy Hamilton and San Masters had the type of narration chemistry that had you salivating for the next page, POV and scene. I absolutley loved every word of this narration and thought that each narartor was able to build off the other's chapter but also bring new heat and tension to the voices. 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕄𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕕 is anaudiobook that I will be relistening to ASAP- it was just that good!

Persephone Lee was my favorite narraotr becuase she was able to embody Charlie in a way that added SO so many layers to her voice. I found myself immersed inside her POV as she told us the story of Charlie finding her people and i loved the way she also fit so well with Teddy and Sean. Both male narrators also blew me away with the way they narrated the hilarious friendship between Will and Beckett. Truly there was nothing I did not like in this audiobook and 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕄𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕕 was a gem to listen to in my ears!

Rating: 100+; 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕄𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕕 is a delicious audiobook that had my ears in nirvana for the entirety of the story!

Review: 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕄𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕕 started hot, ended hot and was insanely captivating until the words ‘The End’ were read. Elle once again brings us to the Campus Diaries series and leaves no page unturned with the romance between - Charlie, Will and Beckett! I was in love with Will Larson from the get go in book one but the way Elle really brought all three of them to life in this book just hit home so much more for his story. I appreciated how she tackled the topics of insecurity and wanting to please others but what blew me away was the friendship that Beckett and Will had.

This book was an MFM romance but all three of them form a dynamic that warms the heart. Beckett and Will’s hilarious friendship is only elevated with Charlie thrown into the mix and I was absolutely gigging out loud at certain parts of this book. Elle also brings us all the heat and provides us with steamy and dirty DMs between the three of them throughout. These DMs were some of my favorite parts because we really saw the inside of each MC during the exchanges - an wowza did they make me sweat!

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕄𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕕 was one of my favorite Elle books ever and I can only say…please give us more Will in the future! I am not ready to say bye to that man! Charlie, Will and Beckett have one of the most natural and endearing relationships I have ever read and I truly adored and devoured every word!

Rating: 100+; Elle Kennedy gave us the most anticipated read and 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕄𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕕 was absolutely everything I wanted!

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Thank you to Hambright PR for the eARC and Dreamscape Select for the ALC.

I loved the first two books in the Campus Diaries series, and the snippets of Will and Beckett in the previous books just made me feral for The Charlie Method.

And I feel let down.

Charlie struggles with her identity the entire book, and she doesn’t let the guys in emotionally until the end. And by then, it didn’t feel real, more like a plot point for the story. Beckett is one dimensional and only there for the spicy scenes. Will is my favorite of the three, but it still feels like he doesn’t fit in the relationship.

So my sadness comes from two points: 1) no sexy times or emotional connection between Will and Beckett — this would have enhanced the relationship so much. And 2) no real emotional connection between Charlotte and either of the boys — this story felt so physical and that the M-F-M was a trope used to hype up the book.

The sex scenes were well written and exceptionally hot, and I loved the humor from the ‘Dad Chat’ group chat. And the scene where Charlotte finally talks to her parents brought tears to my eyes. So despite my ranting above, I did actually enjoy myself throughout most of the book. Oh! I can’t forget to mention that the audio was 10000% amazing and it made the read so much better.

At the end of the day, did I still enjoy the story? Yes. Will I continue with more of the series? 100% yes.

Charlotte Kingston leads a double life—college senior by day and risk-taking Charlie by night, seeking casual hookups. When she meets two guys on an online app for a threesome, she’s stunned to find out they’re her classmates and hockey stars, Will and Beckett.

While I was hoping for a Will/Beckett HEA, the chemistry between the three is off-the-charts steamy, and those who love intense passion will adore this book. But beyond the steam, I really appreciated the emotional depth, especially as Charlie navigates her feelings about being adopted and searching for a missing family member. Her internal struggle between her dual identities was fascinating, and I was captivated by her family dynamic, especially with Harrison.

A unique blend of heat and heart, this book delivers both!

I received an ARC/ALC for an honest review.

I'm so sad this is the last book in the Campus Diaries series. The second generation. I'll NEVER get tired of the Briar U world!! ⁣
⁣
You guys know me, I don't read MFM, but because it's THE Elle, I have to read it. I'm not surprised that I love and enjoyed it so much. Elle is the QUEEN of Hockey. ⁣
⁣
Charlie, Will, and Beckett are totally HOT together!! I'll say Elle's hottest book to date. They each have their own struggles and issues, but when they're together, they all just click. I can relate to Charlie so much. I'm totally a people pleaser and don't want to disappoint anyone, especially my family. So I totally understand why she did what she did when it comes to keeping things to herself. Between Will and Beckett, I'm leaning towards Beckett more. Lol I love a broken hero, and he was broken. Will has daddy issues. Lol

The ALC though. OMG!!! I love that it was in duet form. It was so well done. Totally obsessed. They brought out each characters to life!

Seeing the other characters is a bonus. I love this world so much. I wish I can live in it.

I was super excited about this audiobook, and the book release in general. It just really was difficult to get through for me. I think Elle is a fabulous author. I was excited to see how the MFM aspect would go. I also love a sports romance, especially hockey. This one just felt forced. I went back and forth on how I felt about Charlie. Nothing to do with her “extracurriculars” as she called it. I got how it felt like she had to have two personalities, split between her sorority life and wanting to live her best life. Go get what you need to get. No judging on that. It just felt like the triangle felt forced and not believable. I also really enjoyed her personal journey, that I won’t share much about so there aren’t spoilers. .

Will, I really liked him. I would have liked to hear a book about him and his life. The way he stood up to his dad took a lot and really took a lot. I also don’t blame him for moving on. Really it seemed like Charlie was more into Beckett. Beckett, I didn’t like him at all. Like his character was the equivalent to a wet blanket. So, tolerating him is probably what made it difficult to enjoy the book.

The spicy scenes are a plenty and the narration on it is 🔥🔥🔥!!

The narrators, Teddy Hamilton, Persephone Lee, and Sean Masters did a great job with narration. I did enjoy them, and Dreamscape did a great job on production of the audiobook. I do thank NetGalley and Dreamscape media for the ALC with the understanding I would give an honest review.

Gosh I love a why chose & this one was done so well!!!!! I love the whole world Elle Kennedy has created at Briar U and The Charlie Method did NOT disappoint. The narrators did such a good job capturing the essence of the 3 MC’s and the chemistry between them was perfection.

I was lucky enough to receive this as an ALC and ARC from Hambright and as someone who has read The Graham Effect and the Dixon Rule, I can honestly say Elle Kennedy outdid herself with this one! I love the character depth of Charlie and how she has learned to overcome stereotypes and forge her own path! Will and Beckett were absolutely delicious as well! 5 stars!

wow, this is far from what I expected when I finished The Dixon Rule, my favorite of the entire series.
.
Yes, although Pesephone Lee; Teddy Hamilton; Sean Masters narration was very good and the three of them did a great job bringing this story to life, nothing beats The Dixon Rule for me.
.
The idea of ​​a polyamorous relationship really added something exciting to the wait for this book but I couldn't connect with Charlie or Will. I was very hooked on Beckett and how could I not be? It reminded me so much of Garret Graham and all the heartbroken, bad boy, intelligent heroes that Elle Kennedy created in these series and I love so much. But although Charlie worked perfectly with Becket and their chemistry was palpable, Will was the opposite. And it has nothing to do with the relationship with Becket, he always had him in mind and the things he thought, the love and friendship for him were genuine and even heartbreaking to see how Will was in a different place altogether.
.
I spent the first part of the book sighing or smiling at how crazy and fun the three of them were. Every step they took and how everything fell into place. But then something felt off somehow. Beckett and Charlie were incredible together, even with all the problems and dilemmas they had in their heads, they worked they had amazing chemistry. Will on the other hand felt short, he lacked depth to his character or maybe he was too similar to Charlie and they didn't have much to grow (?), and that lowered my energy, because in the previous book we can see an incredible Will, finding his way and accepting himself little by little, at the same time as his relationship with Beckett, I love when they have moments together and we can see this unique and beautiful friendship.
.
The fanfic parts and the Dad chat are very funny and I understand that they are characters that are difficult to leave behind and that readers want to read in every sneak Elle Kennedy want to share with us. But at the same time I feel that I would have liked more development of Charlie's conflict, there were too many different points and I never managed to assimilate that they were resolved so easily. Becket and Will's development felt natural and becoming little by little, also I guessed right about Charlie’s siblings I saw that twist miles along but loved how Kennedy make it happen.
.
But I enjoyed this book like every story that Elle Kennedy brings to this world, she is one of my favorite authors, especially in the sports and college romance, where the characters are trying to find their place in the world and navigate who they are.
.
Thanks to Dream Scape Media and Elle Kennedy inc. for give me a copy of this beautiful book in exchange for my honest and voluntary opinion
.

Easy, fun and spicy read!

This is the third book in the Campus Diaries Series. This was my first Elle Kennedy read and I understand why so many people enjoy her writing! This book was able to read as a standalone although there were some side characters that made comments and jokes I believe I would’ve understood better if I read book 1 and 2. However this didn’t hinder the storyline at all.

Charlotte has a lot going on in her life. The stress of being a top student, the emotion of discovering family you didn’t know you had, unraveling secrets of your past. She’s a driven student living her sorority life trying to balance the many stresses that life entails. Her friendship with Faith is one of my favorite parts of this book - Faith is the kind of supportive friend everyone needs. When Charlie finds herself looking for a bit of relief to her crazy life, she finds herself looking for a hookup on an app - which leads her to a profile of not just one guy but 2. They back and forth and find chemistry enough to entice them to consider meeting. Only it’s found out by chance that these are guys she already knows from classes. They are hockey players - Will, the boy next door type, and Beckett, a chill, more quiet Aussie.

The plot of this story is mostly that of the relationship, and how they navigate the 3 of them being able to make things work together. The pressures of senior year and what’s to follow presenting challenges they try to resolve. Secrets are kept and it creates complication potentially keeping them apart. With everything they each have going on it keeps the reader on edge to know if they can all make it through together.

The narrators were a perfect pick for these characters. They really portrayed the feeling and emotion for each of the characters. I really enjoyed the audio of this book!

The audiobook was well done.

The story itself was hugely lacking. A really big miss for me - and I’ve been looking forward to this one for over a year.

Thank you so much for an advanced copy of The Charlie Method! I enjoyed this book so much.

One of my favorite things 2024 gave me was a love for Elle Kennedy books. I blew through all her books on audio, so I was very excited for this book to get my hockey boy fix! I really enjoyed the characters and some of the taboo elements in this book...but honestly, I enjoyed the throuple more than anything. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the throuple in this book, but I was in love with it. It just worked the way Elle wrote the story, and I could not stop listening to the audiobook! I loved it so much.

Rating: 4 stars

Two is always better than one! I love going back to Briar U, Its like visiting a younger sibling at the college you went to.

Which means the last thing Will wants is for anyone to find out he and his best friend Beckett Dunne? a laidback Aussie shielding secret heartache? sometimes share girls in the bedroom.
