Brother Puckers #2
Puck Shy
LUCAS MCKNIGHT, is the center for the Seattle Stormbreakers hockey team, and a famous actor. You’d think his life would be made, but he’s going through a dry spell—in more ways than one.
One of his teammates is tired of watching Lucas suffer, and with a little convincing, entices him to attend a masked Valentine’s Day party for a night of distraction. Little does he know; this night will change the game.
Lucas meets a mysterious woman in a red mask, and their chemistry is both instant and undeniable. After one little taste of the lady in red, his dry spell is broken, and after a fresh win on the ice, Lucas wants more. He’ll stop at nothing to find her.
Only, he doesn’t have to look far. It turns out the woman behind the mask, is STEVIE HARPER. As in, the sister of his twin brother’s partner. Future sister-in-law or not, Lucas isn’t giving up that easily.
Determined to keep Stevie close, Lucas offers her a job, hoping to explore what’s between them. Stevie agrees but insists on a platonic arrangement, she doesn’t mix business with pleasure. Only, their pact to remain professional quickly becomes a complicated dance, as they skate the blurred lines between friendship and something more.
When it comes to the game of love… there’s more than meets the ice.

kayla grosse has done it again!!! she does such a great job of mixing a small amount of plot with some pretty great smut.
i was so happy to see that lucas didn’t try to change stevie at all. he was perfectly content to be patient and wait until she was ready, even going so far as to offer her a job so she would be close to him. he was okay with just being with her and accepted all of her kinks.
that scene where stevie was wearing another teammates jersey and lucas was NOT having it 👀 enter the hockey stick and jersey ripping. THAT’S ALL IMMA SAY 🥵
now the group scenes had me FERAL, like i’m convinced i’m actually dead because i was NOT prepared. they were so hot and the consent??? had me EVEN hotter. we literally got every pairing imaginable and i’m obsessed. running to amazon to buy a heart shaped paddle, wax and some masquerade masks asap 🫡
this is my petition for a johnny and nia
book because i NEED them to be together!!!
thank you to kayla and her team for an arc!!! ❤️🔥🍒

These two are next level hotness. Especially Stevie - I'm obsessed on the one hand because she is so sexy and on the other hand I feel seen, it's weird, yes.
"If I can act like I'm a badass bitch, nobody can see how scared I am, how much I care what people think."
This 🥺
.
And I'm definitely here for the group things - a group of friends with benefits - love the representation.
.
But I don't like the all time reproduction of the narrative that guys which are seen as handsome (thin, muscular, strong jaw, you know it...) are something you need to earn with being hot enough yourself - pretty privilege is real but we don't have to live our lifes based on it, we can just be better than that. They are just humans like everyone else who should be judged on their actions instead of their looks. Handsome people are not superior and if they think they are you should run as far as possible.
"Please, Stevie. Please let me fuck you so hard even these walls won't be able to stop talking about what they witnessed."
I mean it's obvious how enthralled he is?❤️🔥

I was gonna wait to read this because I didn’t read it in February. I’m so happy I didn’t. There’s just something about the McKnight Brothers.
I so didn’t expect Stevie to be the FMC in this story, but I’m beyond ecstatic she was.

Мені не вистачало взаємодії між головними героями, але і так можна сказати нормально пішло. Нія та Джонні теж цікаві персонажі, цікаво було б дізнатися про них більше. Я не знаю чого, але я очікувала коротеньку історію, а тут вона на більше 300 сторінок і в принципі я не скажу, що тут є багато сюжету. Але кому такий жанр подобається, де є майже тільки сцени 18+ і декілька людей в ліжку, то читайте

4 ⭐️ Valentine's Day is just the beginning...
This book is so sweet and romantic while also being really spicy, but don't think this book is going to appeal to as many people as Book #1 in the series, even though I thought it was still great.
There's a lot of...mmm sharing... in this one. With multiple people... I'm still unsure about how I feel about that, but I liked both MCs very much.

Spoilers ahead
Hockey player H has lost his mojo so his teammates suggest he gets laid. He goes to a masked valentine's day party with one of them and joins a ff scene with Cherry , a sexy woman he had a convo with outside the room, and her friend . Everyone has fun they go their separate ways.
Lo and behold he has an amazing game next day and then to his shock he meets his brother's girlfriend's sister and she's none other than his Cherry.
*********
This was ok, for how it started I expected much more sex tbh. This isn't safety gang approved. This is what the young ppl call monogamous non monogamy or whatever the fuck, my old ass says they're sharing or swinging. The MCs are a couple and they have sex with OP, from what I saw only when they're together though.
I don't yuck nobody's yum but that epilogue a year later where they're having that little group scene and he's talking about he came to care about her friend too and yeahhhhhhhh ion know about all of that. Now I can fucks with the kinky stuff but not with ppl we know! Ya feel me? Because even Johnny had a crush on the h and then he had him face first in her cooch and then next thing you know you've got a Simon Cowell alleged situation happening but that ain't my business and y'all pop ya shit. I was down for them going to the sex clubs with the NDAs and having a good time but having sex parties in his home and with their friends.......🤔🙊🙉🙂↔️
Anyway I read this for the smut which I go off the rails and do sometimes and the smut wasn't even good so 😒✌🏽
Preread
Note to self
Y'all really be fucking FUCKING in this one huh? 🤔🤔Hmmmmm

3.5 stars, was probably my least favorite book of kayla grosse’s, it was a bit sloppier than her later books but it was hot and quick paced so it was decently enjoyable

This was an absolutely DELICIOUS Valentine’s Day romance which was steamy, full of yearning, and REALLY started off with a bang! I really enjoyed getting to know Leo in Trick Shot, so was excited to get to meet his twin in this book. The first encounter of our MCs was SO hawt and k!nky, and what proceeded to unfold was a scrumptious will-they-won’t-they and forced proximity story. I love how Kayla writes spice plus how her FMCs are just… real. I think I might be in love with Stevie AND Luke!

I donno. I read it ... and felt nothing.
The first book was super hot and sweet, this one just kinda lukewarm.
Maybe it's me but everything felt forced and out of character (because we barely knew anything about the characters before they jumped into everything) - the kink, all the openness, all the acceptance of everyone by everyone, ugh, so sugary and over the top, it was hard to take anything seriously here.

Did I enjoy the ending? Yes
Would I read this again? No

Quick & easy 2 day read (I listened to the audiobook). It was about 6 hours. A lot of spice but still has some plot. I really liked the body positivity. Books like these are super easy to listen to on audio because there aren’t too many important details to keep track of.

DEVOURED THIS BOOK. HOLY HOTNESS. Kayla, you have done it again. 👏 I absolutely loved Stevie and Lucas and melt at every moment with these two.

Forget chocolate. Forget flowers. Puck Shy is all you need for Valentine's Day.
I'm so head over heels for Lucas and Stevie!! Their immediate chemistry, their simmering desire throughout the entire story, and their senses of humor were such a treat.
Stevie especially melted my heart quicker than chocolate between my fingers. She has such a caring heart that balances out her fierceness. And she's a great complement to Lucas, who is completely gone for Stevie from the beginning. Speaking of Lucas, I'll never again be able to hear the word "cherry" without my skin heating. Whew!
Joe Arden and Desiree Ketchum are spectacular and captured Lucas and Stevie (respectively) perfectly. I couldn't stop listening, I didn't want it to end, and I couldn't help the fact that they made me so giddy I swear I have a permanent blush on my face. Hot hot hot.
A quick, ultra-spicy, and hilarious ride, Puck Shy is perfect for anyone looking for a little Valentine's Day delight.
**Thank you to Kayla Grosse for an ALC (advance listener copy) of Puck Shy and the opportunity to leave my honest, voluntary review!!**

This was short, sweet, and super sexy. The plot was so good! I fell in love with Lucas & Stevie so hard. I loved the journey of their relationship. And the spicy scenes were SO HOT! I will forever recommend Puck Shy (and Trick Shot) to anyone who likes spicy romance!

This book was hooot!! Do I think it could have been even hotter, yeah, but it was so good!
Lucas and Stevie are just amazingly hot together! He listens to what she likes and take actions to fulfill her desires! He never tried to change her and that just proves he likes her the way she is and it’s so important!
Hockey men can be jealous if we wear someone else’s jersey and woah how Lucas proved this was an excellent scene 🥵
I just loved the group scenes! The descriptions were perfect to set the mental image, and the consent!!! We like this, making sure everyone is feeling confortable and safe, my heart!!
Loved it, even if I’m kinda bummed I did not read it on Valentine’s Day, it would have made it better I think!

this was the perfect Valentines week novella. I loved Trick Shot when that came out and I fully believe that Kayla can do no wrong. I am obsessed with Lucas and Stevie! this was a fast paced novella and was the perfect valentines week read. but it's honestly good to read anytime of year! I loved being able to see more of Leo, Riley, and Jace. this was such a fun read and I cant wait to read more from Kayla per usual. the audio of this was so fantastic. Joe and Desireé killed it as always. they are such a good duo for an audiobook.

Holy crap what a Novella
Kayla has done it again. We I read Trick Shot I was obessed and in that book I knew Stevie would be a firecracker. So when she announced Puck Shy, I was so happy. Stevie is such an amazing email lead from the way she loves, her sexuality, her bluntness, and her vulnerability, just man. I love her. And Lucas hockeystar, who is ready for more, finds him a tart cherry. I will always remember the equipment room scene. I loved their story so much. Congrats Kayla this is incredible!

So fun! As a fellow sports girlie, this is my actual dream okay
this was a super quick read and we got into the plot v quickly but there was still loads besides the smut! tho the smut was *chef's kiss*
I wasn't really here for the constant threesomes w his teammate (??) but other than that I had a blast :))
Gotta get through the author's backlist now!

3.5- 4 ⭐️Great read for valentines. I will say this Kayla does a fantastic job with mixing what’s mostly a smut book and adding a small plot. I finished this in about an hour I was engrossed. I liked this one better than her other book trick shot.

З цієї серії це найкраща для мене книга
Мені сподобалось,шо тут у них потяг не прям з нічого з'явився
Вони трохи пізнали один одного
І можливо під кінець у мене стався перебор поліаморії 🫣😭
Дайте мені чоловіка з троп "це моя жінка" та "доторкнись до неї і я тебе вб'ю" 🤌🏻🥹🫦

Holy hell! I think that might be the hottest book I’ve ever read 🥵 Lucas and Stevie have chemistry from the first second they meet and it only gets better! The group play scenes are so well written and you can sense how it’s all happening. I love all the smut 😂
It also has such sweet moments and I loved seeing everybody from Trick Shot in smaller roles as well ❤️
Such an amazing Valentine’s Day read! Would definitely recommend!

Kayla is slowly becoming one of my favorite authors. Puck shy was such a fun read very quick and just captures your attention. I cannot wait to read another book by her. It was so good it was so funny I was so into the story, and I wish they were so much longer, but you know it’s for Valentine’s Day. It’s a cute little romcom and is a very spicy book so read it now.🫣
