Fast Puck

by Zack Wish

The Puck Daddy Academy is open for business – and this time the Ice Bears are going for the kill.

Bear Bridges saw it all as a bodyguard for the Mafia Daddies NYC – or at least he thought he had. Death, mayhem, and putting his hulking body on the line had been a recurring theme in Bear’s life for longer than he could remember.

So when 41-year-old Bear is offered the chance for a quieter life teaching the new recruits at the Puck Daddy Academy a thing or two about the criminal underworld, he jumps at the chance. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Olivier Rennes grew up as the son of hockey and media royalty. But temptation, public disgrace, and scandal derailed his own career on the ice before he got a chance to show his pucking skills.

Olivier, 21, does what he wants, when he wants. Except now this mischievous milk and cookies loving Little has been cut off from his trust fund and might have to make his own way in the world – even if that includes pleading for a chance with the Ice Bears’ mysterious new Puck Daddy Academy.

A skeptical Danilo Doni places Olivier with Bear in an attempt to curb Olivier’s wild side and channel his undoubted talent into something tangible that the Ice Bears can utilize – and Danilo instructs stern Bear to do whatever it takes to bring the disruptive boy into line.

However when Bear and Olivier’s chemistry sparks over a shared love of stingingly spicy discipline, it soon becomes clear that no matter how hard this Daddy and Little combo try to avoid trouble, trouble will always find them – and fast.

Fast Puck is a standalone MM Age Gap, high heat hockey & mafia romance featuring found family, spanking, gruff Daddies and sassy Littles with a dangerous side – and when the final buzzer sounds, a pucktastic and ice-melting HEA.

The Puck Daddy Academy books are set in the world of the Deadly Puck Daddies series of books but can be read as standalones without prior knowledge of the wider series.

Bear & Olivier: Book 3 of Puck Daddy Academy: age gap/ spicy/ hockey/ mafia: This is a M/M romance. It is set in the world of the Deadly Puck Daddies series & the Mafia Daddies NYC, but it can be read as a standalone. Zack Wish did a great job developing this world and all of the characters in it. Loved this fast paced spicy read.

We met Bear in the Mafia Daddies NYC series, and I was hoping to get a book about him, and Zack has delivered. Bear is super strict just like all of our Daddies have been, but he has to take a bit firmer stance than the others. Why, you ask? Well, we have met Olivier with the other academy Littles, but we did not have a hint at how sassy and bratty our guy can be. Olivier is not used to being told no or facing consequences for anything he does with exception of his hockey career. Let me just say, the way Bear disciplines Olivier, is rather exposing with a risk of being seen by others. Which Olivier may be just a bit excited by. I love the way Bear handles Olivier with a firm but fair hand while teaching him it is okay not to be the party-boy and he can focus and be great at anything he wants. Olivier is a super sweet Little that just wants someone to care enough about him to say no and discipline him even if he will not say it. These two find that they have more in common than the DDlb when they are sent on a mission by Danilo, to NYC. Will they be able to stay together and get what each has realized is their true calling in life? This is a great finisher for the 3 newest recruits to the Ice Bears. The way it brings a Little and Daddy together as well as 2 families for the greater good, is a great wrap up. I would love to see a series in the future that brings us the stories of the MDNYC and Doni Families as they work together against those that try to overthrow them.

This is the last book in the Puck Daddy Academy series, set up very well in the blurb. Olivier is a hockey phenom, but one who is out of control with his partying and drinking, never having been held accountable before. Former mafia bodyguard Bear has been hired by the Donilo family to work with Olivier at the Academy, bring him into line and teach him discipline. Olivier has already gone through weapons and fight training, and he is up for basic tracking, shadowing and surveillance training from Bear, all skills that can be put to use by the Donilo family as needed while Olivier also plays hockey. Olivier is not the best pupil, and Bear must resort to a little Daddy discipline, too, to get his points across. As Olivier becomes more serious about his work, and as the relationship between the two moves along, Bear is encouraged. The proof in how much Olivier has learned and taken to heart will be tested in unexpected ways as he faces danger with his Daddy Bear.
A headstrong little used to doing things his way, a disciplined and dangerous Daddy trying to straighten the kid out, traitors within the mafia families, and choices with possible big consequences for both make for an interesting final installment, and a bit of a twist at the end, along with a HEA.

Part of the Puck Daddy Academy series each be read as a standalone with a mafia daddy and the boy who captures his undivided attention. Okay finally we get Bear an extremely strict but then all our daddies are extremely strict especially when it comes to their boys, he has wanted his own boy just like the other mafia daddies, and he may have found it, but his boy is a little too spicy. Oliver is such a sweet boy but oh boy is he spice, a brat to the tenth power, parties all the time, isn’t used to hearing no, and in need of some very strict discipline. Bear is firm but very fair when it comes to his boy has no problem with showing Oliver, he cares enough to tell him no when no is needed and shows him through discipline that he cares to help him learn control, to teach him that partying isn’t always a good thing and helps him to become a better hockey player. The more time they spend with each other the more they realize they are more alike and that magnetic pull between them only grows stronger but when their boss Danilo sends them to NY will it be the thing that make or break them, will they grow closer admitting they want to more, will he learn control so that his team will be proud of him, and are they headed to their happiness with a lot of the hard work?

I received an Advanced Reader Copy and am voluntarily reviewing it. I absolutely love this series and I am sad to see it coming to an end. Olivier Rennes is a party boy on his last chance. He knows he needs to buckle down to play for the Ice Bears hockey team, but cannot seem to find the incentive to do so. Bear Bridges might be just the incentive that Olivier needs to get on the right path. Bear is also at a crossroads in his life. Though Bear is committed to the Academy, Mafia Daddies NYC is calling his name. Does he want to go back into the that world? He misses the excitement but does not want to renege on the promise made to the Ice Bears.

Daddy Bear is committed to getting Olivier in shape before he decides anything. Olivier has a lot of potential. He just needs to buckle down and see things through. Bear is willing to push him over that finish line kicking and screaming if he has to. This book is similar to the previous books in the series. A little is paired with a daddy. Throw in some training and a little danger. Will this little and daddy team be able to stick it out and come out on the other side? Both Olivier and Bear have to do some soul searching. I think that's what pushes this book above the rest. Will their souls lead them to each other?

This is the third and final book in the Puck Academy series. This is the story of Olivier Rennes and Bear Bridges. Olivier is a very good hockey player that is somewhat spoiled. He is also a little and easily led astray to party and have fun vice being responsible. Olivier is also the last student of the Puck Academy that is waiting to graduate to playing professional hockey for the Ice Bears. Bear has worked with the NYC Mafia daddies for many years. As well as being a bodyguard for years. Looking for a change, he agrees to be an instructor for the Puck Academy and Danilo Doni. Bear is a daddy as well so he is fully prepared to discipline Olivier as needed. This is their story. Together they work to improve as a team. And once their relationship is solidified, there are a lot of life changing decisions to be made. The book is written well and is easy to read. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next series by this author.

Gauntlet thrown down and picked up! Olivier, has lived a life of privilege and not facing any accountability. He is never told no and acts like it. Olivier, is over the top in brat mode. He needs the strictest Daddy to help him become the best he can be on and off the ice. Bear, is one of the strictest Daddies and up for the job. Like a continuous 'whose the boss' relationship of challenges scenarios. Olivier, wore his Dad's hockey legacy status like armor. Will it protect him from Bear trying to make him a better man, a better player? Great story, full of indulgence, challenges, learning the lessons and maturing. Zack, creates characters of depth who have to 180 themselves on roads to redemption and maturity. Great story, exciting and thought provoking. Nice cover art! Well done!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun, fast-paced read. I liked both Bear and Olivier. I liked the dynamic between them and their chemistry sizzled. I loved Olivier's Little time with his friends. It was so cute seeing him carefree. While used to partying hard, he just needed someone to care for him and give him some much needed discipline. Bear was big, strong, and intimidating for most Littles. But he was perfect for sassy and bratty Olivier. He knows how to have fun, but Bear will make sure it's done his way and not out of control. Olivier was attracted to him from the start. Bear did have his work cut out for him. A very fun, sweet romance. I also enjoyed the action. 5 stars.

I enjoyed Bear and Oliver’s story which was the last story in the puck academy series, Oliver is the last of the first batch of recruits at the academy and is a party boy who doesn’t see why he should change, but after Bear starts training him but also acknowledging his successes and looking out for him Oliver realises there’s more to life than partying and starts focusing on changing his life and attitude and works hard so that Bear will be proud of him and want them to be together forever. Good story, Good series.

Great ending to a hawt series! Being a bodyguard is the forefront of Bear's mind. Training Oliver to be observant is hard but his other skills come into play making him the perfect Little for Bear! Love the book!.

Oliver is a spoiled brat who needs to be disciplined. He got kick out of one hockey team and this is his last chance. Bear knows he's the man to do it but has been asked to go back to his old job and feels conflicted. These two go on a journey to find what they want in life. I really enjoyed this book.

[Amber Pickerill · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sometimes you need someone in your life to help you be the person your meant to be. Olivier is the spoilt hockey star who needs to start taking life seriously. Bear is the person who's right for the job. Can Olivier change his ways or lose everything?.
