This is a great omegaverse & hockey combination. Just know that (content warning)

grief

plays a large role in the later story. I thought it was handled well, but I still wanted to mention it.

The insta love was okay. While I wanted them to all feel it, the drama kept getting in the way.

The scene of the mom passing was kinda graphic. I have warned 2 of my friends away from this book because of that and their own mom passing trauma.

The drug use is the character being drugged, not chosen drug use

I had so much trouble formulating words for this review. I don’t want to badmouth a book. 

This book though… was interesting — now, before you get upset, it was my first Omegaverse book, and I can’t tell if what I didn’t like was Omegaverse or writing related. Which is why I don’t have a lot to say. 

 

I may or may not read the second one. 

 

Smut was definitely greater than plot, and it starts off with a bang! Literally and figuratively. 😂

This was cute it was light and fluffy, with just the right amount of angst, definitely a good palette cleanser for anything heavier. I had a good time reading it

One Pucked Up Pack was honestly better than I thought it would be!

I knew that this was omegaverse going into it, but I think I was expecting more hockey and less omv. It was definitely beginner friendly, and did a decent job of explaining all of the trope hallmarks.

Read this book if you love
- Why choose/reverse harem
- Omegaverse
- Hockey romance
- Second chance romance

This book has a lot of time skips, especially around the 50% mark and in the epilogues. I found that I wanted more character time that was skipped over, but I also don’t think the book needed to be longer.

The one thing that I really didn’t enjoy was the lack of healthy communication around the conflict. I definitely found some of the resolution to be annoying because the blame and guilt gets shifted to people in the relationship who I don’t think deserve it, and other people get forgiven a bit too quickly or have their actions brushed off.

I’ll probably read the second book. 3 stars.

Absolutely loved this book! All the characters had wonderful development, learning from their mistakes and the coming together in the end was just chef’s kiss. I really don’t have anything bad to say about this book besides wanting more before the epilogue!
