I've finally done it! I've read the book that started it all. I've read many books by Helena Hunting but I have always wanted to read the Pucked series. It was finally time for me to sink into this hockey-laden world. I'm so glad that I did.
As with all the other Helena Hunting books that I have read previously, this book was so easy to get lost in. I love Hunting's no nonsense writing style. Her writing style is down to earth and relatable. I enjoyed the way the plot played out in this one. It is a typical hockey romance trope but the magic is in the way that Hunting executes it. The world-building was fantastic. I felt so immersed in this world.
These characters were phenomenal! Honestly, they were really something else. Hunting crafted their personalities to a T. No joke. They were genuine and authentic and so relatable. The secondary characters were a delight as well! I really can't wait to get to the other books in this series so I can delve deeper into their characters.
The romance in this book was hot, okay? Violet and Alex had this organic and effortless chemistry that was explosive. I loved Alex's courtship of Violet. He was so determined to have her. Violet was a bit hesitant where the real feelings were concerned throughout their relationship but that was only because she was scared. You could tell the way that these two felt about each other from a mile away. And the steamy bits were super hot so that didn't hurt either.
Overall, this was a funny, steamy, heartfelt hockey romance that really ticked all the boxes for me. I was on cloud nine with this book. I finished the last page and I wanted more. If you are a fan of sports romances with memorable and relatable characters, outstanding storytelling, and a plot that keeps you wanting more then you'll want to pick this one up. Honestly, I may be one of the last people in the universe that hadn't read this yet but I digress. I can't wait for the next book of this series!

Fun and hot! a bit silly sometimes, but defiantly fun.
Violet knows hockey players' bad reputation, that is why she doesn't really want the attention of the team captain, Alex Waters.Despite his stunning face and hot muscled body... except for a one night stand. 💥😝Alex on the other hand, wants a lot more than just a fling with the big mouthed girl, so he does whatever it takes to prove her that he might be a hockey player, but he is not a "player".Even though he is really good with the hockey stick he has in his pants! 😂📚 “𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐬. 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐮𝐩 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐨.” 📚So... this book was fun and hot! a bit silly sometimes, but defiantly funny. 😂🎉I liked that I didn't feel exhausted by the all the hockey descriptions and I loved Violet's character - she made me laugh my ass off!!!! (just wait for the cape scene, GOD! 😂) and Alex totally made me swoon! ❤However, there were parts I felt that the author tried forcefully to make me laugh - like, all the "Super MC" and "Beaver" jokes, that at some point started to wear out. 😬📚 “𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐡, 𝐈’𝐦 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧.”“𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬? 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬?” 📚I really enjoyed this book, but this is a light comedy - which means that the story-line and characters are not that deep and the book has no life lessons in it - so if you're looking for something like that, this is not it... But if you want to spend a few hours of liberating laughs with fun characters and playful plot - this is THE book for you!!! 💥❤
