Pucking Christmas Triplets Surprise

Ruthless Kings Of Thornhaven

by Sophie J. Rivers, Vivy Skys

Don’t tell a soul, but I walked away from my NHL career for one Josie Richards.
Fifteen years younger, yet she owns me in ways no one could understand.

She’s my enemy on ice—a figure skating ice queen with a rebellious streak that makes more than my palm twitch.

But after her ice skating accident, she’s broken. Fear controls her now, and I’m done watching her drawn in it.
I’m her new coach—on and off the ice—and I’ll drag her back to the top if it's the last thing I do.

What I didn't expect? Knocking her up.

I thought raising my niece prepared me for fatherhood.
Turns out, Christmas brought more than presents.

She’s pregnant—with triplets.

Now she thinks her Olympic dreams are gone. Not on my watch.
One slip, and I lose it all—my reputation, my heart, maybe even my sanity.

But I’ll push her to her limits, make her fear me more than the ice.
And when she breaks... I’ll be there, ready to claim every piece of her. Even if it makes me the Grinch of her Christmas story.


Readers Pucking Christmas Triplets Surprise is a Standalone spicy, angsty Dark College Hockey Holiday Romance with a possessive hero 'touch her and die vibes' with one goal in mind...claiming his curvy ice queen. Enjoy!

What a fun, exciting Christmas story about two people who find themselves in their own way of irritating each other. He is a retired hockey player turned coach, she is headed to be Olympic bound ice skating. Their chemistry is off the charts, and ex partner for her is constantly making things difficult. This story shows how thru hard work, preserverence and determination you can achieve anything. Beautifully written story ❤️.

For a 3/5 spice level, still a good plot. A lil too fast paced for my liking, but still very enjoyable.

Christopher Jackson is Coach for Northbrook Tigers Hockey Team.
He left a thriving hockey career to move where Josie Richards lived and took up coaching for a mediocre team. Hes had an obsession for her since he first saw her at a young age where he could do nothing about it. Him being fifteen years older and her still in school.
But she’s old enough now, and he’s going to get his obsession.
Josie Richards, the real reason Christopher left the Mississippi Titans after an award-winning season. She beautiful, talented, innocent and he’s obsessively in love with her.
Josie was an “Olympic-bound, future gold medalist” ice skater till her ex and skating partner dropped her carelessly during a difficult manover.
Now is their time. But will a complication (sweet as it is) keep her from her dream? Not if Christopher has anything to do about it.
This is a story of dreams, loss, obsession, disappointment, abuse, and an unbounding love and joy with a happy, happy ending…👍🏻II.

Claiming His Soulmate -
This is a mind blowing story about an older man becoming obsessed with a young lady from the first time he laid eyes on her and goes to the extent of changing his life and doing everything possible to make sure she becomes him. Fortunately, the young lady in question reciprocated his intentions and they worked together personally and professionally to get the lives they deserved, even though they encountered a lot of difficulties. I woke up at three AM and decided to read this book hoping it would help me fall back asleep, but it appears it was a big mistake, as I found myself hooked on the story by the end of chapter one and I didn’t stop reading until I reached the end. This is one of those books where you will be happy to re-read it time after time and never get tired of it, as well as recommend it to your friends.

Pucking Christmas Triplets Surprise was quite entertaining and an enjoyable read. I love when an author puts two genres together and creates a marvelous book. This book is an example of that. Author Sophie J. Rivers has written a fabulous sports holiday romance book. This is the first book that I have had the pleasure to read from this author and she did NOT disappoint in anyway whatsoever with this story. The characters were well developed and beautifully executed throughout the story. I adored getting to know the main characters and seeing their story coming to life throughout the book. I would definitely give this book as a recommendation for anyone who is looking for a fun sports holiday romance to read. I’m definitely going to be looking into more of this author’s work in the near future.

Obsession + Christmas + Romance = Triplets

Sophie Rivers and Vivy Skys offer us an age gap, darkish romance between NHL hockey player Christopher and a young figure skater hoping to make it to the Olympics.

Christopher is so obsessed with Josie that he leave his NHL career to coach a subpar college hockey team just to be near her. Josie is struggling to recover from a concussion and her figure skating partner’s violent behavior.

Although Christopher presents himself as obsessive, gruff and commanding, there’s a deep passion that lies beneath his tattooed muscles. Despite the age difference, these two lovers are able to meet several challenges to find their happily ever after. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

OMG 😱 this was an outstanding age gap romance and I was blown away by the romance and intrigue of how they connected in that moment. It was a steamy page turner and the suspense was spicy hot on a spicy dish level. It was action packed of pain and disappointed of career changes and started a new dream into reality. They couldn’t fight the temptation anymore and they gave into the passion and physical tension and chemistry bond. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down. I definitely enjoyed and I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed. I received advance copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion. Trina Jones

Josie's dream is to win the Olympics as an ice skater the only thing is her coach Dylan is cruel to her making her doubt herself.
Watching all this is Christopher Jackson and wants to step in to stop Dylan but his job as a major team player of the Tigers can't really do that.
Until he resigned and takes over as a coach to her following an accident but not officially, he can't get her out of his head, neither can she.
Dylan crops up a few times but Christopher won't let him interfere.
Vivy and Sophie have written a really excellent story

[Veronica · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m stilll in the process of reading this one, but so far it’s really good, the way he claims her right away and becomes such an Alphahole is great! Christopher isn’t going to stand for anyone getting in his way when he claims Josie! There is a 15 year age gap between these two and it’s kind of sexy, they are perfect for each other. I can’t wait to see how it ends! If it’s anything like I’m hoping, then it’s going to be great!.

Struggle on the Ice

Chris, a former hockey star and coach has finally decided to claim Josie has his woman after so many years. She is struggling to be comfortable on the ice after her terrible fall a while back. When he offers to train her not only do they find an attraction but the consequences of their relationship could complicate everything. This story was emotionally charged and the way Chris wanted to protect her was an excellent addition to this book. I really enjoyed this read.

I was very disappointed in this one, unfortunately I simply couldn’t get into it.
It sounded like my kind of read but sadly it didn’t hook me.
The characters were nice but I didn’t see them gel, Chris and Bruce Abby had a lovely relationship but I didn’t see that between josie and Chris.
Chris beat 2 people up seriously and there was no repercussions and it wasn’t thought wrong, I was rather surprised at how those issues played out. Several parts weee simply ignored and didn’t play out fully. The ending was very rushed and for me unfinished.

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy Hotness just looking at this hunk on the cover is enough to melt ice and then the way Christopher is described in this romance book will have your face flushed and heart pounding. I thought that Josie and Christopher's romance was AMAZING and very well written. Are you ready because this book is full of excitement, romance and triplets are on the way for Josie. This is definetly one book you need to have in your kindle reading.

I received a free copy of this book and I am writing my honest review on it. First things first, I am a SUCKER for accidental pregnancy novels. For me, I felt that it was a little difficult to connect with the characters. It seemed everything was happening so quickly. It was such a cute read that I wish there was more buildup to their romance instead of 2 weeks and boom, they’re in love. I will say though, I’m not opposed to Christopher obsessing over me hehehe 🤭

[Earth Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really awesome Christmas Romance. Wow this book will get your heart beating with all the sexy hotness. I could not put this book down. It's really really good. Christopher is all manly and very swoon worthy. Josie is so sweet and in love with him as much as he is with her. They are a perfect forever couple. And she blesses him with triplets. Sophie and Vivy thank you for this wonderful story. It's a must read everyone

[Jackie Harding · Rating 5 out of 5]

These two authors did a good job writing this. Christopher and Josie’s story was very interesting to read. His obsession with her, the age gap that kept him away from her in the beginning. She having an accident and having to overcome her fears in order to make her dreams come true. This book was an ok read minus some grammatical errors along the way.

The authors have given us a heartwarming older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Christopher, Josie and his niece, Abby. The story keeps us turning the pages with obsession, determination, connection, fears and steam.

Christopher is a former NHL player and now hockey coach who spies Josie, who dreams of reaching the Olympics. A sexy, OMYW, he falls first and will do anything for his woman romance, with touches of drama included of course. I thoroughly enjoyed this read.

A cute love story when Chris saw Josie and fell in love with her at first site. Chris quit his hockey career and was hired as a hockey coach where she went to college. Josue was in training to be on the Olympic ice skating team.
The story’s plot moves pretty fast in the attraction and they were super hot scenes. No surprise she ended up pregnant and with triplets. There is a HEA.

[Donna Nalbandian Woerner Homschek · Rating 5 out of 5]

Captivating, well written interesting likable characters. Obsession, love and family which is important to both is expressed lovingly especially with triplets. Overall good story.

Josie Richardson at a young age is on the skates as she got older she was headed towards the Olympics.. Christopher Jackson retired NFL hockey player. He watched her growing up .As she got older. his obsession with her grew..He 15 years her senior. He also takes care of his sister’s daughter Abby.. and that was funny because she thought she was his girlfriend. There is way too much sex in this story for me. When she went out with best friend a guy came on to her. That won’t happen again because Christopher was in an uproar. When mom came to visit she thought he was too old for her. While her mother was there she learned that she was pregnant.

His Obsession
Chris knows from the first moment he sees Josie that she’s the one. Now he just has to convince her. But that shouldn’t be too hard because their chemistry is enough to melt the ice they both love.

Great Book

I loved this book by “ Vivian Skys, Sophie J. Rivers! This has ice Skating
And Hockey- Which I love reading!! The love story between
Josie and Chris is Soo Romantic/ hot.

[Chaotic Nexus · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh

I felt it was too rushed and an unauthentic storyline. I'm sorry, but if a woman gets assaulted, there is no way she has zero reaction and can just move on like nothing happened. Try as she might, she will always remember and feel the ghost of his touch.

[Vicky Reynolds · Rating 5 out of 5]

Search for Olympic Gold!

All she wanted was to go to the Olympics and win gold. Hours of practice with her skating partner that belittles her every chance he gets. Then drops her injuring her and puts her dreams in jeopardy.
Chris says he can coach her to win.

[Maureen Vercruysse]

DNF’ed at 15%. Not commentary on the author per se but as the parent of former competitive skater this is so far off the mark that i just can’t continue. Imagine struggling with a biellmann spin in college. Let’s talk about her triple-triples

[Carolyn Singer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book and would read it again. I would have liked to read about Josie going to the Olympics with the family and wi ning her gold medal.

[IDGirl1101_Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow what an intense story line at times. Beautiful with a "tad" obsession. And the "tad" is putting it lightly. But, I do like that it was love at first sight in many ways for both and it grew.
