Pucked (Pucked, #1) in Freaks Between the Book Sheets Romance Recs

Sep 07, 2019 Christine (Queen of Books) marked it as dnf

DNFed at 14%. Why:

The MC prior to the start of the book has led her stepbrother to believe that once, when they were drunk, he "groped" her "by accident." He did no such thing. But she allows him to believe this so she'll have "leverage." Wow. Just...wow. No. The argument that women who've been harassed aren't to be believed, because women lie? Women twist the truth for their own personal gain? Yeah. That's on display here. The MC misleads her stepbrother into believing he sexually harassed her. ...more

Pucked by Helena Hunting follows Violet and Alex. And friends let me tell you...it is WILD. But in the best possible way 😜 - Violet has grown up around hockey, her step-brother Buck plays in the NHL after all. One night she begrudgingly agrees to go to one of his first games after he’s traded to the Blackhawks. It’s there during the game that she locks eyes with one of his teammates Alex.

Alex Waters is captain of the team and a notorious womanizer. When he begins talking to Violet after the game Pucked by Helena Hunting follows Violet and Alex.

Alex Waters is captain of the team and a notorious womanizer. When he begins talking to Violet after the game Buck warns her to stay away and yet somehow she finds herself drawn to him. He’s kind, gorgeous and she nearly does a double take when he makes a literary reference during their conversation. She ends up spending the night with him and learns there may actually be much more depth there than she expected. She figures they’re done after their one night but Alex isn’t having it. He wants more and she doesn’t want anything to do with his public persona or the spotlight. Violet questions if he can possibly be the real deal or if she’ll end up heartbroken and just another one of his flings..

This one is the first in the Pucked series and it’s a very quick and entertaining book. I read it in one shot in a few hours. The dialogue was hilarious and I actually found myself cackling out loud reading because of how funny and ridiculous it was at times. Violet cracked me up. She has NO filter and just says whatever she’s thinking. Including all the funny, weird, awkward and and cringeworthy things that come when being intimate with someone else. All the things you’ve thought in your head but didn’t want to say or ever express - Violet has got you covered 😂. Be warned - if smut isn’t your thing you may want to pass because this one is up there on the 🔥 scale. There’s like 8 more books in the Pucked series that follow some of the other characters and their relationships that you meet in this one. Plus Alex and Violet come back in book 4 so I can’t wait to see how their journey continues to evolve! Heat lovers - if you want new guilty-pleasure series to sink your teeth into that delivers on hilarity and heart too - this one’s for you! // ☕️☕️☕️☕️ ...more

Happy Reading, friends!

I listened to this one on Audible Escape.

Beavers, books & monster cock with a slight side helping of hockey. That basically sums this book up.

I can totally see why people are obsessed with this series! Violet is fun & sticks her foot in her mouth at every chance & is so socially inappropriate. Likely, we would be friends!

Alex is great too. I love their interactions ...more

Pucked is the first book in the Pucked series by Helena Hunting and wow, is all I have to say. I have heard this Pucked series was great. I had this first book as part of a compilation of romance novels in Hilariously Ever After. One sitting was all it took for me to read it. Poor choice to start before going to bed..

“He saw her, like the sun, even without looking.
Oh God. He’s quoting Tolstoy and touching me. I’m done for.”

Violet never wanted to get involved with a hockey player, they just tha ...more

I freaking LOVED Pucked! Helena Hunting writes my absolute favorite rom-coms and this is no different. I was laughing out loud from the very beginning, and even during the most insane moments I was so into the story. I can understand how not everyone would love the tone this book has, but I was 100% into it! 4 stars! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun light hearted rom-com with lots of steam!
