3.75-4 stars. This was a good book! I liked it almost as much as Pucked. After attempting to read Pucked Up, but not enjoying it and having to dnf it, I was not expecting much from this book. But I was pleasantly surprised! This book is alternating POVs, which I like and is one thing that Pucked Up did not have (it is all in the male POV). This book had the zany humor, crudeness, sweetness and sexiness of Pucked. This was Lily and Randy's story. I really liked both Lily and Randy. They were both funny and sweet with each other. Lily is Sunny's best friend (Sunny is Alex Waters' sister). Randy Ballistic is a teammate of Alex and Miller's. Lily is just getting out of a 7 year relationship with a jerkwad who did a number on her self esteem. Randy is hot and nice and around a lot, because he's good friends with her best friend's boy friend. Lily and Randy have great chemistry and their flirting leads to a friends with benefits/just sex situation. They live in different cities though so they can't see each other as often as they wants (although they make it work with texts, pics and videos). They find they're both developing feelings for each other. But they're both scared to start a relationship. Randy has some baggage from his father being a womanizer and leaving his mother. He fears he will be just like his dad if he is in a relationship, because he is like his dad in other ways (looks and hickey talent). Lily's dad was also a hockey player, who sired her on a one night stand, and she never met. She has grown up poor and her mother has always warned her off of hockey players. Her mother is pretty bitchy and rude to Lily. She parades her half naked boyfriends in and out of their apartment. She reminds her that her conception was unplanned and unwanted. And she's rude about her hooking up with Randy. I really enjoyed watching their relationship develop. I liked how much Randy liked Lily. It was very sweet seeing how much he thought about her and only wanted her. Neither of them decided to sleep with anyone else when they were sleeping with each other, even though they didn't get to see each other very often and they never discussed being exclusive. I really enjoyed seeing how their relationship had settled in during the epilogue too. I'm so glad I gave this book a chance and I look forward to more from this series!
Spoiler
Lily decides to move to Chicago to get away from her mom, have a fresh start and live with Sunny. She tells Randy that she has feelings for him and he freaks out and leaves. They are both really upset about their fight. Randy realizes he deserves to try to have relationship with Lily and that he is not his father. So they get together for good.
I loved Randy. Lily is okay she erk me a lot in the beginning especially constantly comparing her boob size to every other woman’s but after I find out why I kinda understood it a little. This book was cute and fun read. The last half was better and sucked me in to where I didn’t get off the couch for 3-4 hours until I finished it lol

Hilarious, sweet, sizzling hot without missing amusing dramatics. A wonderful continuation for the Pucked series.
Lily LeBlanc’s seven year relationship has had many ups and downs. Mostly of the down variety which have caused too much strain and then just snapped. She’s completely unfamiliar with casual dating, but certainly isn’t really for anything more. Inclined to give it a try she sets her sights on her best friend’s boyfriend’s best friend. Can she keep her feelings in check and things casual or will she get Pucked Over?
Randy Ballistic takes a lot after his father. He looks like him, he plays hockey like him – only better–, and he’s bad at relationships, so he doesn’t even try them. He acts according to his name and reputation on and off the ice. So when he quite literally barges in on the spirited and on the rebound Lily, he’s more than determined to be her rebound man. When things start to get too comfortable and serious, will they ignore his own emotions for fear of repeating history or will he take a chance on them?
Randy and Lily seemed like a complete odd couple. They are two very different people, with different backgrounds who live in different countries who are trying to make their intense attraction for each other work. So even though “different” was the common denominator, the connection between them was so much more than sexy, explosive, out of control in-every-bathroom sparks.
Yes of course there’s a lot of fun and sexy times happening!! You can’t read a term like “fur burger” within the first percent of a book and not laugh and wonder where the author is heading with this. I also truly enjoyed the character development where I got to know about Lily having to give up her Olympic dreams for lack of money because her hockey playing father was completely absent. And how Randy’s dad, also an ex-hockey player, failed to be faithful to his mother and thus breaking her heart and their family.
They’re both self-conscious about one thing or another which helped them bond further. Her sassiness was perfect for his magnetism. For all his player reputation, Randy was cluelessly sweet regarding his emotions toward Lily. He’s chivalrous, considerate and downright, endearing. There were many things I liked about Lily, but mostly I liked that after she didn’t lose herself while falling for Randy, rather she found her independence and footing.
I loved having characters from the past books. They were a constant source of amusement. Vi and Alex from Pucked, especially made everything more wacky and funnier with Vi’s total lack of filter.
We also get some groundwork for hopefully a future Pucked book between Tash and Lance. Complete drama there I can’t wait to read with Helena’s comical sharpness. And raise your hand if you squeeed when she mentions Inked Armor and its resident badass tattoo artist Hayden? If you haven’t read THIS other series by Helena Hunting and love tortured heroes with amazingly touching stories I suggest get it now.
Helena Hunting’s wit and humor are evident in this funny, erotic story. Having as many raunchy, sizzling moments as crazy and amusing ones in this delectable romance. Pucked Over is book #3 in the Pucked series by Helena Hunting. This is a sexy, light, fun, full of swear words standalone book with a hockey background. It’s told from alternating point of view with a happy ending.

“What going on with you and Horny Nut Sac?”
“Who?”
“Randy Balls.”
