Thin Ice #3
Pucking Screwed
Daire has been a player on and off the ice for years. He’s burned a lot of bridges and hurt a lot of men. Until now.
Mid-season has been the same for Daire for the past few seasons; the idea of retiring plagues him. He’s played much longer than a lot of goalies. His body hurts. He’s tired. Yet he’s still playing like he’s at the top of his career and he doesn’t know if he can quit. Maybe he’s just heart sick. He’s a people person. People say he’s impossible to hate. But he feels the bitterness nonstop from the growing list of men he’s used. Then, in the blink of an eye, everything changes.
He just wanted ice cream. That was all. Jason had been wearing his favorite one-piece pajamas on a late Thursday night when the craving hit. That was his only plan. In a flash, he’s blindsided by a massive truck slamming into his driver’s side door. This huge man who should scare him comforts him in his fear and confusion. He stays when he could’ve left. Jason can’t get Daire out of his mind. Unfortunately, Daire is miles out of his league. What chance does an odd guy like him stand? Probably none.
Pucking Screwed is the third book in Charity Parkerson’s Thin Ice series. These books are steamy sports romances meant to heat up your day. These books are best when read in order.

This is a little different than the other books in the series , grimmer, and to be real, it's a little bit concerning since in previous books we have Daire being loud and flirty while also making huge mistakes in behavior. But here he's closing himself in becoming more and more introverted and dare I say codependent (in a way) on Jason. I'm not dissing the situation, they need their private time together and the feelings are new, but still after all these years not opening up to any of his teammates making it seem like he's burned his bridges is sad.
That said, it turned into a beautiful story and by the end Daire and Jason were perfect, growing together.
I hope amends are made in future books and he gets closer to his team again.
This series just gets better and better, one story leads to the next and I just can't stop reading them☺️🌈
🛑🛑🖐️SPOILER ALERT🖐️🛑🛑
!!!CRIIIINGE!! This put my brain in a mindF@k🤨:
Daire put his arm around a woman because she had the same hight as Jason and he absently thought it was him🤬😡
Duuude, when you're this in love you can smell and feel your person blindly. I know I sound irrational but this just irked me. I get they needed a moment of jealousy to spice things up but touching other people like that puts visualizations in my brain that freeze my mind. Glad that was sorted quickly though😉

3 stars simply because Daire crashed into Jason’s car because he was too busy thinking about getting to his tattoo appointment so his tattoo artist can “use his magical tongue to go down on him”. Really? He couldn’t have been thinking about anything else? And then to take Jason to said tattoo parlor after they are in a relationship. Also bringing him around multiple people he’s screwed and not even introducing Jason as his boyfriend. So yeah I couldn’t give it more stars.

——• 🩵
Daire 🏒 and Jason 🤓
🔹 MM short story
🔹 Accidental meet-cute
🔹 Age gap
🔹 Daddy kink
🔹 Insta-love
Daire crashes into Jason on the way to a tattoo appointment but when he realised just how much Jason needs him, he gives up everything.
This was actually a pretty sweet romance, Jason couldn’t adult for shit which was perfect for Daire who gave into the whole daddy kink vibes.I do wish these were a bit longer to give more depth to the story as the main parts don’t have enough details because of how quick the story is… 😒

No me gustaba Daire en el libro anterior, era egoísta y odioso, aquí vimos otra parte de él pero a la vez lo vimos aceptando todo lo malo que había hecho en el pasado, me gusto que no fingiera que era la mejor persona del mundo sino que a partir de sus errores quiso mejorar.
Por otro lado, Jason es demasiado tierno para su propio bien. Demasiado confiado y vulnerable, literalmente necesita quién lo proteja del mundo.
Estos libros son demasiado cortos, claro que su relación salta demasiado rápido de una cosa a otra y esta vez sin saltos abruptos en el tiempo, no me encanta que sea así de rápido pero nuevamente, son muy cortos y sigo leyéndolos.

There is the nightmare version of this book, where Jason finally divorces Daire 20 years from now.
“Yeah, I met my ex when he ran a red light and smashed into my car. He felt guilty, so he lied about finding my apartment keys, and brought me back to his place. Then he determined he knew what was good for me while I still had two black eyes, and he spent a few days making me feel financially dependent, while seducing me subtly. He took advantage of my insecurity and had me move in to his apartment, which I didn’t feel able to escape, and he never introduced me to anyone he knew, except the tattoo artist who he was going to see when he instead hit me after running the red light. Even the tartoo artist, whom he never denied fooling around with, told me that Daire was bad news. Do you know that Daire was fantasizing about sex with that guy when he missed the light? Seriously?!
“He bought me everything I wanted and needed, and convinced me to quit my job, even though I had grown up poor and need to work because I’m scared of not having my own security. Sure, we had incredibly passionate sex, but all that fire in the bedroom didn’t transition into his taking me seriously out of it. And can you believe that he proposed to me in a pantry after I actually talked to someone else at a party where he was ignoring me? I can’t believe I gave him so much of my life.
“Right at the beginning of our relationship, he said this about me:
“In the simplest of terms, [Jason] just wasn’t good at being an adult. He needed someone to take control. Luckily, Jason was right. [I] was bossy. [I] had this. [I] wouldn’t make any more suggestions. From now on, Jason would simply do as told. [I] mentally rubbed [my] hands together.”
“What an asshole. I was poor and young and scared. I was doing my best and it’s not true that I “just wasn’t good at being an adult.” Thank god for my divorce lawyer.”
Yeah, this book is a little off. Also:
* air conditioners don’t work like that.
* no one talks about how “winters in Canada are long”: we describe where we live. If in fact Daire is from Niagara, that has some of the mildest winters in this whole country.
* Seriously, don’t write a book where you find yourself writing this: “Daire couldn’t save everyone, but he could fucking save this one person. Maybe fate had driven his truck into Jason.” No, you asshole, you were daydreaming about the happy ending your tattoo artist was going to give you. Thats not fate.
* oh, and mixers turn cooked potatoes into glue, not mash. Get a ricer, or the hand masher that Jason does use.
Ugh, this book.

I truly liked this unusual relationship ! New Orleans, Louisiana. Short story.
Daire, 33, big, strong, hunky hockey goalie,
longish hair, tattooed, loved giving orders, who makes model structures and sells them online.
Jason, 23, curly blonde, smaller man
who works from home, doesn't adult well, and is a "middle."
These two have much in common as we learn about them.
Jason just wanted ice cream, when WHAM ! Daire's crash scene is managed by Daire, and he takes care of everything. He helps Jason, takes charge, cares for him, and while Jason had been cautious, he eventually accepts Daire's help.
Daire was thrilled to have someone to take care of and their relationship worked for them. Eventually, sexy times were super for both men, with Jason's firsts.
We see them move forward, where Daire is a Daddy and Jason a sub/middle. As Jason gains strength and they both have a home, their bond grows. They have fun together, travel and enjoy each other's unique personalities.
It's heartwarming tale of two lonely souls, who finally find their perfect one.
ENJOY !

Hockey 🏒
Hockey player and guy he T-boned
Instalove
Daire is on his way to a tattoo appointment thinking about all his exes. His is distracted and runs a stop sign t-boning a small car driven by Jason.
Jason is wearing a fluffy brown bear onesie and tells date he can’t be seen by the cops in the outfit. Daire has him change into his clothes, then offers him a ride home after situating the wreck. Jason thinks his keys are in his towed car, so Daire invited him over for the night telling him he is going to buy him a car the next day.
When they get to Jason’s house Daire sees how he is living. In a studio apartment with barely any possessions. Daire tells Jason to pack a bag because he will be staying with him for awhile. He decides to not only buy him a new car but also take him shopping for new clothes and everyday essentials. The last stop they make is to a fetish shop buying him more onesies. Basically HEA.

This is a modern sports romance, the third book in a series that should be read in order. I liked Jason though he was hella-trusting with a stranger, it worked out in the end. I am enjoying this series as a whole and recommend it.

When I first started reading this series, I despised Daire since he cheated on Brodie and enjoyed sleeping around. But his story changed my opinion; it was so adorable and lovely, and Jason was such a lovable person.
