Pucked (Pucked #1) by Helena Hunting - Starting July 30th 2020

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

***The 1st standalone novel in The Pucked Series***

With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. So of course she isn’t interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. When Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet’s misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.

Suffering from a complete lapse in judgment, Violet discovers just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants. Violet believes her night of orgasmic magic with Alex is just that: one night. But Alex starts to call. And text. And email and send extravagant—and quirky—gifts. Suddenly, he's too difficult to ignore, and nearly impossible not to like.

The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn’t want to be part of the game.

I read this at the start of July and LOVED it! I'm going to jump in and chat with ya'll!

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

25%

(view spoiler)[ This is okay. I like the banter and I'm finding some parts really funny. I think they need to spend less time having sex and more time talking. It seems like she thinks he something without asking him. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

57%

(view spoiler)[ I can't believe her brother found out like that and then she wondered why he reacted how he did. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

75%

(view spoiler)[ Okay this isn't really going anywhere at the moment and the rest of the story is predictable. There are still some funny parts. I think she's being a hypocrite when it comes to her brother and she really likes guessing about people instead of talking to them. I also feel she over reacts a lot. (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Yep predictable story line but there were some unique moments. I liked the pet names they had and how they talked to body parts rather then each other. overall an enjoyable read. (hide spoiler)]

To be honest if it wasn't for the funny lines every now and then I'd give it a 2 star rating.

I keep putting this book off given both your ratings but I’ll have to give in soon if I want the points 🥺🤣

Ch. 9 (view spoiler)[
"Beaverscaping is dangerous."
So I'll admit this is super cheesy and often corny at times but I'm kind of loving it. It's way over the top at times but so far I'm not hating it (**fingers crossed) (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Ch. 16 (view spoiler)[So her always talking about her beaver was funny the first million times but now it's getting to be too much. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah I thought the same in the beginning now it's getting to be a bit too outrageous and all they do is have sex lol, I need more story! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I agree and don't agree. I think the scene was kind of pointless the way it played out, like it was just filler-at least it was some story lol. But at the same time I'm glad it wasn't blown out of proportion, I'm so over the sports bunnies and OW drama that always pops up in sports romances. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 23 (view spoiler)[Oh man did he really just say that in front of her and the press?!?!? WOW smh (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Finished (view spoiler)[So I didn't exactly hate this but it was a bit immature for me and predictable. Aside from Violet's oddness and absurdity it was fun for the most part. I really could have done with way less reference to her beaver though lol (hide spoiler)]
