Holy hockey pucks!! 

Pucking Around is a FANTASTIC why choose, hockey romance! I’ve never really been into sports romance like that but this book has DEFINITELY changed it for me!! 

This book takes off 2 months after That One Night (prequel) and Rachel can’t stop thinking about the guy she met in Seattle. She also can’t stop thinking that she got passed up on the fellowship. Until her phone rings and she gets a call that she actually got the fellowship and she’s the new doctor for the Jacksonville Rays, a brand new NHL team. 

Immediately this book takes off on a funny note.. she meets Caleb.. ex hockey player turned equipment manager and the funny banter begins. All throughout this book, the banter between Rachel, Caleb, Jake, and Ilmari is nothing if not hilarious! 

Now let’s talk spice shall we? When people said it was spicy, they mean SCORCHING HOT!! The *daddy dom* vibe mixed with the sweet, golden retriever vibe is *chefs kiss* I loved EVERY. SINGLE. SCENE!!! Especially where Rachel meets some fancy jewelers on Caleb *wink wink*

All in all I’m giving this 5 stars. It’s a big book but it goes quick and well worth the read! You’ll laugh, maybe shed a year, but you’ll definitely be turned on!!
