|Thoughts|

Enjoyed this listening experience.  Was an entertaining mixture of romance, spice and suspense. 

The most frustrating thing was how her parents often treated her as if she were a teenager and not the assist GM of a major hockey team. A some slight miscommunication (in order to protect them), still frustrating. 

“You stay away from daughter”

Max was just a grumpy sweetheart I wish I could give a hug. Whilst other staff members were verging on caricatures of villains. 

“You were bent over your little diary so intently”

Was a unique and engaging meet cute.

“I hate flying, I avoid it at all costs…people say flying is statistically safer than driving in a car.”

Effing infuriating. And ridiculous. Got me all riled up. Now I have all this anger and don't know what to do with it but I know I can't waste another minute on this book.

This review may be purely emotional, but I don’t care I stand by it. For a book called “Puck me secretly” it had NO RIGHT to take me through that emotional turmoil. I have read a few hockey books in my time and somehow that one really threw me for a loop. Anyways. Don’t let the name scare you. Just read it. Hockey, spicy, complicated relationships, horrible antagonists, and a twisty end.

*yes I cried. No I don’t want to talk about it*

This is my second sport romance read ever and overall it was a good book. I listened to the first 60% as an audible book but I didn’t love the narrators voice mainly for the male characters, so then I switched to the ebook for the remainder of it.

I loved Max he is was a great grumpy main male character who seemed to fall first in my opinion. Rory was at times a little annoying then at other times be perfect lead female character. I didn’t particularly like any of the side characters in the book and found Rory’s parents hard to grasp.

I loved the hockey aspect and the overall storyline I did think there were a few very dramatic scenes but the story flowed really well and was a nice quick read. There was some rushed spicy scenes but they were good I just wanted a bit more.
