Review

1- 752 pages it’s unnecessary too long for a contemporary romance. We don’t need that much pages for spicy books.

2- Rachel was not professional at all, just needy. I got the impression that if all the players payed her an especial attention she would have slept with them all too.

3- Who wears that dress to a work function? A work where most are men where she is their physical therapist. The guys were already calling her the “hot doc”. She sure wasn’t commanding any respect but screaming for more attention.

3- Jake was too needy and unsure about every single thing. Annoying!

4- Angel?! Our angel?! For a guy?! Seriously?!

5- Didn’t feel a real connection with any of the boys. There is no love or romance. Just sex and lust.

I didn’t read the novella. But this book has a strong beginning, it will pull you in. Unfortunately, other than that and the spicy, which is off charts to be honest, there is nothing else here. If you want a book for good spicy, this may work for you. But if you need some emotional connection, you won’t find it here.

“We all have a choice in this world. Stay or go. Love or hate. Fight or flee. I get to choose what happens next. I may not be able to control whether the Rays let me keep my job, but I can control how I respond to it.“

Blurb

My name is Rachel Price, and two months ago, I walked away from the perfect man. Sweet and funny, and so hot it should be illegal—we shared one magical night. No names. No strings. I never thought I’d see him again.

I was wrong. It turns out Mr. Perfect is the playboy grinder for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL’s hottest new hockey team…and I’m his new physical therapist. Oh, and the jerk doesn’t even recognize me!

This fellowship is going to be the longest ten months of my life. Mr. Perfect Mistake will do anything to get back on my good side. Meanwhile, his best friend is the surly new equipment manager always riding my case. Worst of all, I’ve got an uncooperative goalie who thinks I can’t tell he’s hiding an injury!

This is my chance to prove myself, and I’m not risking it for anything. But with one unexpected night, one secret revealed, these men are ready to test all my limits. I can’t fall for a player…let alone three. But if love is a game, these guys are playing to win.

PUCKING AROUND is a spicy ‘why choose’ hockey romance. This book stands alone as the first in a planned series. For a full list of tropes, tags, and CWs, see the author’s website.
