Absolutely adored this second entry in the San Diego Seals Hockey series by Grech - my love for this series definitely grows with each book!

Don't be scared by the mass of tropes in this one; it's a beautiful read that combines why choose, reverse age gap, accidental pregnancy (and we all know I tend to avoid that particular trope) and hockey romance tropes into a wonderfully intricate story of love, healing after divorce, and standing up for what yo ...more

What could possibly go wrong when your husband cheats on you, your girls’ weekend falls apart, and you end up going to Vegas with your best friend’s son and his best mate? Oh, I’ll tell you what: absolutely everything ( not wrong everything deliciously right!?!) and it is GLORIOUS.

I ran full-speed into this book the moment I saw the blurb. You know those chaotic, laugh-out-loud, messy but magical reads that make you grin like an idiot at 2 a.m.? Yeah, this Book Review – Puck Me Baby by Ann Grech

What could possibly go wrong when your husband cheats on you, your girls’ weekend falls apart, and you end up going to Vegas with your best friend’s son and his best mate? Oh, I’ll tell you what: absolutely everything ( not wrong everything deliciously right!?!) and it is GLORIOUS.

I ran full-speed into this book the moment I saw the blurb. You know those chaotic, laugh-out-loud, messy but magical reads that make you grin like an idiot at 2 a.m.? Yeah, this is that. You’ve got heartbreak, accidental Vegas weddings, and oh yeah—a reverse harem spicy setup that had me fanning myself more than once.

Let’s talk about the men: Travis (HELLO, firefighter fantasy), Jacques (French hockey player, enough said), and Rusty (rough around the edges but soft underneath). Each one brings their own flavour and personality to the story, and somehow Ann Grech makes you fall in love with all of them. Travis had my heart from the moment he showed up with his big firefighter energy. Honestly, swoon city.

Then there’s Carina. A woman who’s been wrecked emotionally—zero confidence, newly single, and just trying to hold it together. But instead of wallowing, she gets drunk, married, and into a wild Vegas threesome (don’t worry, the foursome comes later and YES it’s worth it). Watching her grow, find herself again, and actually feel seen and adored by these men? It was genuinely heartwarming.

This book has depth. It’s not just smut (though the smut is chef’s kiss). It’s full of character growth, healing, and emotional connection. Don’t call this just a sports romance—it’s so much more. It’s reverse harem contemporary magic. It’s spicy and easy to read, but not mindless. I was along for every chaotic, romantic, hot mess of a moment.

And let’s not gloss over the spice scenes—I questioned how some of those positions worked and even tried to draw it out with stick figures (10/10 recommend for a laugh). But despite the logistics, the chemistry was off the charts, and it brought that “heroic spice meets older woman glow-up” energy that I LIVE for.

Highly recommend for anyone who needs a bit of reckless fun, hot men with golden hearts, a little “he’s younger than her” drama, and a whole lot of Vegas vibes. Puck Me Baby is wild, spicy, heartfelt chaos in the best possible way. ...more

Captain of the professional Ice Hockey Team, Fireman and a Contractor who could ask for a better why choose relationship that started from a drunkin trip to Vegas and a Wedding. With a curvy older FMC and MMMF, add in a baby and who could ask for more. WOW Ann has done it again.
