 A hockey themed Omegaverse. Sign me up. 

Omegaverse in general is such a comfort read for me and One Pucked Up Pack has easily joined some of my favourites from the genre. 

I loved all the MMC’s. I think my favourite has to be Anders although Mikael comes a very close second. I will be thinking about the hot tub scene for a long time to come. 

I would ask you to check TW/CW though as this book does deal with parental loss (on page) / child abuse (off page) as well as grief & depression. 

Overall I had a great time with it and can’t wait to read about Piper!

”One Pucked Up Pack” has been on my TBR for a little while & I am soo glad that I finally got around to reading this story because I adored it! <3

Eli + Anders + Mikael were *chef’s kiss* LIs & I loved the extended epilogue (it was so heartwarming)…🥹

The only issue that I had with this story is that I wanted more scenes of the men (Eli + Mikael in particular) discussing their upbringings with Charlotte (I wanted to see more conversations about their families in general).

I cannot wait for Piper’s story — the bits that we’ve gotten so far seem so exciting! :) ♡

What a unique book! Hockey, why-choose, AND omegaverse! I love all of those things separately, but this was my first time reading them together. It was also my first time seeing omegaverse outside the fan-fiction realm. 
I will say that Sarah Blue does an excellent job introducing the reader to the world of omegaverse. Even though I was familiar with the concept, the way she explains it for Charlotte & her hockey players felt like world building that made sense in the context of the story. 
What I was not expecting were the emotions! I quite literally SOBBED though the last chapter. There are major themes of grief, loss, and abandonment throughout. So protect your peace before reading.  

****
Thank you to the author and Smuthood Book tours for providing me with a copy for review.
