Heartbreaker Kings #2
Wrong Pucking Player
A near-death experience wasn’t on my Hockey Bingo Card.
But that’s precisely what happened to me.
One minute I was skating desperately to save an older woman from danger.
The next, I was falling through ice, barely able to make sense of anything until darkness greeted me.
When I wake, stormy blue eyes greet me, pleading for a second chance.
Those eyes belong to none other than Wyatt Cyrus.
The latest NHL hockey recruit of the Saskatchewan Pincers.
Wyatt is huge, sexy as sin and can do things with his tongue that make me lose consciousness.
The problem is I can’t remember him.
I can't recall the countless nights spent sheltered under his embrace, how we met, nor what drove us apart.
Only webs of uncertainty.
Trying to navigate my new reality, I find myself drawn to someone else.
Someone whose presence revitalizes my soul.
And their touch sets my skin on fire.
Someone like Oscar Armani. The returning Goalie of the Saskatchewan Pincers.
The only problem is that he’s the rival of my so-called ‘ex-boyfriend.’
And he refuses to be deterred.
With Wyatt proclaiming he won’t give me up and Oscar slowly easing into my heart, I’m beginning to fear one thing.
I may fall in love with the wrong pucking player WRONG PUCKING PLAYER is a spicy 205,000 words ‘MFM' hockey romance. This book is a standalone, part of the brand-new hockey romance series, Heartbreaker Kings.

Great story, difficult read
The first half of this book was hard to push through simply because it felt like a recap of the first book from different perspectives. The second half was difficult to get through because it wasn't any more believable than the first half. The plot twists were so far-fetched, and there were a lot of them. There were scenes I kept waiting to have happen that I feel should be integral to the final relationship that never did. There were apparently weeks that went by without the characters finding time to consummate their relationship, to the point that I was wondering if the author had decided to go closed-door partway through. She didn't, but then later comments make me think she didn't actually mean to have that time pass, since the cumulative amount of time between events wouldn't add up. Auntie shouldn't have had any access to anything of the female lead's after she turned 18 (or really 16, since that was when she was forced to move into her own apartment). Is it set in the US or Canada? Because there are A LOT of references to them being in Canada, but then there's an FBI investigation and multiple other details that would place the story in the US. Female lead was apparently never allowed to travel, but there was that trip to Hawaii - which would've required use of her passport - which she shouldn't have been able to obtain anyway. There was a hypnotism about which nothing was plausible - not the least of which being that it apparently didn't take effect right away, since the hypnotized character definitely recognized and remembered what she was meant to have forgotten for a while after she should not have. One of the main characters is a doctor who is hired by the team as... an equipment manager? Because that makes total sense...
Also, she needs to fire her editor and hire an English teacher to mark her work up with a red pen. Rewriting sentences so they make sense gets old, as does the continual misuse of words like "they'll" (instead of "there'll") and "retrospective" (instead of "respective"). So many sentences had extra words (like the author hadn't decided which phrasing to go with) or were missing words. Many times, the words were there but conjugated or tensed improperly. There were also multiple common sentences that were phrased oddly every single time.
I still don't understand the thought process behind settling this new Hockey Initiative in a small town with no infrastructure to support it. They literally had to expand the roadways and build housing, which would not have been necessary had the Initiative been set in an existing city. I understand why the story wouldn't have worked on multiple occassions if it HAD been set in a city, but I still don't feel like it worked great as it was written.
The personal growth of all the main characters was wonderful. They were so much more at peace with their pasts and futures by the end of the book than they were at the beginning. They acknowledge their faults and work to correct them. It's great to see and probably the most redemptive part of the story.

not great
The first book was long with a million side plots and i barely finished that. This one was even longer with even more side characters. Took me way too long to finish. Not engaging. For a bisexual mmf why choose, there really wasn’t much choosing or much spice at all. This one really lacked for me. Don’t recommend.

Great read.
I enjoyed this book, having read Wrong Pucking Jersey this one filled in some of the blanks from that story and I loved getting MacKenzie's story too.
I loved Armani, he just totally understood Kenzie and knew what she needed, loved him telling off Wyatt!

Loved Mack's version of the storyline but I felt like it jumped around with not as smooth of a transition as it was for Wrong Pucking Player with McKayla's story. Still had a great story and kept me intrigued as to what would happen next. Looking forward to more from Roxanne!

Great read
This book literally blew me away. I will say that there was no need to repeat parts from the previous book. I also liked that Jayce's storyline in this book was bit more satisfying. Compared to the previous book that left you feeling unsatisfied. We learned so more about the type of person he was and what he was involved in. Overall a great read
