July ARC Reading and Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
PuckHeads Series
Book One: Goal suck
Author Gabbie Dixon
“Dakota,” he says, his voice deep and dark. “I’m a selfish man, and I very much don’t like the idea of you with another man—"
“Lady, have you seen the way that man looks at you? He wanted to eat you through the glass. Plus, I have never seen Wyatt show off like that for any woman.”
This is my second book I've read by Gabbie but my first ever hockey romance I decided to start off with Gabbie's as I know how much she loves her hockey romances. I was not disappointed and I think I have a new obsession with hockey romances now 🤷🏻♀️
Gabbie just has the talent of writing amazing characters to the point that I fall in love with each of them. I know this book was about Wyatt and Dakota but it also had so much more to it with the growing friendships and family with each of these characters. I felt so connected to these characters, mostly Dakota, as I too grew up with hockey being a huge part of my childhood.
I absolutely loved Wyatt's character and how perfect he was for Dakota and how processive he is of her, but she was also the missing piece for him too. Their relationship might have started as a bet but it grew into something so much more and it was an amazing ride from start to finish. I honestly can't say enough incredible things about this story and the character inside this book.

I have been wanting to read Goal Sucks for awhile now and I can't believe I waited so long! I absolutely loved this sizzler!
The characters were all created realistically and each one you could really get behind and root for them. I loved Wyatt and Dakota. I loved the banter between the characters, the romance side of things was steamy in a good way that added to the relationship of the characters.
The writing kept me gripped, this is a perfect rom-com type of read and with it coupled with the two alternating POV, seeing both sides made this read even more engrossing. And that ending! So so good!
I absolutely loved Goal Suck, I can't wait to read Dirty Dangles

Gabbie has done it once again and given us another must-comfort-read!!
This is an ARC review (thank you, gabbie) and what can I say? I can't get Dakota and Wyatt out of my head. I can't get their friends and family out of my head. Give this book a chance, a full-read, brainrot-for-a-week chance. I'm so SO glad this is the first of a series because it has left me wanting to read more. Just more. The rating is closer to 4.5 stars, the writing was smooth, the characters lovable, the settings (i want to be there), the suspense, and the cooldown had me hooked. Did I say comfort read? Because if not, comfort read 🥹 !!
Definitely due for a reread post-release!

I completely enjoyed this Hockey Rom-Com! Gabbie Dixon wrote an amazing story with realistic characters and some real life situations. I was completely hooked. Listen I was rooting for all these lovable characters, they go through so much and I just want them all to be happy. Dakota is a complete BADASS! A tattoo artist who loves books and is so caring for her found family! Omg, don’t even get me started on the absolutely adorable, golden retriever cinnamon roll Wyatt, like I adore him!!!!!!! I loved it and can’t wait for the next book!

Gabbie blew me away with this book. Wyatt and Dakota have my whole damn heart. It felt like I’ve known them forever. I am seriously obsessed with them, and everyone else. I cannot wait for the next book.
If you’re a hickey romance fan, you will LOVE this book. It’s so well written, and the characters are extremely relatable. I cannot wait for y’all to read it

I. Am. Freaking. Obsessed. With. Wyatt and Dakota.
I squealed and kicked my feet, I cried, and I laughed. Gabbie has filled my heart and soul in a way I didn’t know it needed.
I’m just so freaking in love with this book and CANNOT wait to read the next one!

YES YES YES Immediately yes!! A hot tattoo artist who loves books? YES! A hot hockey player who is determined to show his tattoo artist why she shouldn't hate hockey? YES!
This whole book was a page turner. It grasped my attention and kept me seated until I was completely done with the whole thing. The spice, the storyline, the character build. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
Also... I totally cried like a baby. Gabrielle TRULY knows how to play with peoples emotions. But you know I'M DOWN FOR IT! She can play with my emotions ALL day!!
