Rucked
In a world defined by fierce rivalries and unspoken rules, Dylan Morgan's life takes an unexpected detour when she leaves her small town to join a competitive city college. Mistakenly assigned housing with the men's rugby team from a rival school due to her androgynous name, Dylan finds herself in a situation ripe with tension and charged encounters. Rucked explores what happens when competitive spirits and raw attraction collide under one roof.
Dylan, a standout on her college's women's rugby team, is no stranger to breaking barriers and challenging norms. But living with the enemy? That's a whole new game. As she navigates this forced proximity, the house becomes a battleground where every interaction is loaded with potential—both for conflict and for unexpected connections.
In this spicy tale, lines are blurred and intimate alliances are formed. Dylan and her housemates embark on a journey of self-discovery, exploding the boundaries of traditional relationships and exploring the depths of their desires without constraints.
This is not a tale of choosing one path or heart–it's about forging a new way where passion isn't limited, and love plays by its own rules. As Dylan and her smoking hot housemates challenge each other on and off the field, they uncover raw emotions and untapped yearnings, proving that the most potent connections defy expectations.
Prepare to be Rucked—where the only rule is that there are no rules.

I received an electronic ARC of this book in exchange for a review, and yikes.
I was so excited for this book because I love a sports romance, I love a why choose, and rugby guys, yes please! However, I ended up not being able to make it further than 12% before I couldn’t do it anymore.
Like a few of the ARC reviews posted already, I want to say that this book needs heavy editing. I ended up leaving notes on every page. It reads like a first draft and not a book ready to be ARC’d let alone published.
Just to start, the first 5 chapters are completely superfluous to the story, and in them, we learn little to nothing about the main character other than that she plays rugby, can’t function without caffeine, and has a cat. There’s a whole scene with her dealing with a Karen at the airport and her getting moved to first class because the Karen pitched a fit about her cat. I thought, oh maybe she’ll meet one of the guys in first class and that’ll make the cringey, self-indulgent scene make some sense. But nope. She goes about her flight and nothing else happens.
Though, if we got rid of the first 5 chapters, we would miss out on the main character stating that “adulting is hard.” As a millennial myself, I beg millennial authors to please stop.
Then the FMC shows up to her new apartment where she’s going to live with some unknown roommates that she was paired with. For some reason, there is a policy that she can’t know the names of her roommates beforehand even though she is supposed to be rooming with fellow women’s rugby team members, which makes no sense.
After a lot of clues that go over her head, she realizes that she’s been placed with male roommates, but then subsequently immediately forgets this because when two of the male roommates walk in, she thinks “What the hell?” And only after they state that they live there does she overcome her brief amnesia and once again come to the realization that there was a roommate gender mix up.
This is basically as far as I could go with the less than 2-dimensional characters, cringey writing, and confusing/stagnant plot.
No hate, but this really needs a proper editing pass through, especially because others have noted typos and other errors throughout.

I received this as an arc. Finally, adding a sports romance that is not hockey or football was very intriguing to me. Add that it's a why choose, and I was sold!
However, I felt like the story was missing..alot. There seemed to be very little character development at all. Not only on a personal level for all 5 of the characters, but their relationships in general.
It seemed that the men became interested in Dylan because she was their new roommate and played rugby as well. The interactions with each of the men include a previous one night stand, a late night midnight snack, a grocery store run in, and just existing. A new character wasn't really brought into the fold 80% of the way through with no indication he was aware of the potential situation between the 4 of them but magically knew all of it when his chapter came to be.
I think if you're going to write a why choose romance, you have to have more in-depth conversations happening with all parties involved. It should be more than a 3 minute conversation with the mmc without even including the fmc.
A few other things that really stood out, they never really mentioned what happened with Dylan's last team. It only kept stating "politics." Dylan's best friend and former roommate was talked about in the first 10% and barely mentioned again. It seemed like she dropped off the face of the earth after Dylan even talked to her roommates for the first time.
I also didn't understand how Dylan could go to a new team, automatically becoming an assistant captain without even meeting the team. Captaincy is earned by being more than a good player. Plus, they also had a chapter where she seemed to be more than even a captain and coaching. It was just very off-putting for anyone who is well known to sports.
Even with the inconsistencies and lack of real world building, I did eat it up. It was cute even with the lack of plot. I am assuming the grammatical and formatting issues were corrected prior to release. There was also a chapter where her name was Devin? I feel like Devin would have also been a suiting name for our fmc.

I wanted to love this book so bad - a why choose sports romance? What's not to want but this book's writing style was just so unenjoyable that it made it extremely hard to finish. The book was essentially made up of superficial scenes that were not cohesive at all. Each scene itself was enjoyable but didn't mesh with the one before or after at all. There was one chapter that ended after a night out the next chapter was the next morning - that's fine but the next chapter was also that same morning except both couldn't have been the same time because they were completely different scenes. I also felt like I missed something when characters would reference something that happened previously like Noah and Dylan talking about Jayden's kitchen utensils. Also there was really no talking or relationship building between characters - mostly just insta lust then "I love yous" on dates especially Kai. They'd just had one previous ONS then half a conversation then a date and I love you. I just couldn't love this the way I wanted. The basic plot was good but it definitely needs to be fleshed out with some heavy editing in my opinion.

I had the opportunity to join Heidi’s ARC team for this book. Glad I took the chance!! As an avid reader of sports romance I was really excited to take on Rugby (you don’t need to understand rugby to enjoy this book)! I have to say Dylan, girl you don’t need to buy a lotto ticket with the hotness jackpot you stumbled into!
Loved everything about these characters and hope to see where they end up if we get another book!

I agree with the rest of these 1 star reviews. This book needs heavy heavy editing before official release. I don’t know if these higher star ratings were reading a different book or what. I DNF’d and I can’t remember ever doing that.
June 18, 2024
I really wanted to like this book, but I just did not. I was an ARC reader for this book and I could not get into it. The book was very repetitive and a little all over the place. At times it jumped around, they were one place and two sentences later they’re somewhere else completely. The female main character, Dylan, has two very small interactions with a guy and suddenly they’re telling eachother they love eachother. The same descriptive words were used over and over and a sentence would be read and in the next paragraph, that same sentence is said again just the wording is switched around a little. Unfortunately, this book was a no for me. I almost DNF’d it but owed it to the author to see it through and hoped it got better, but it did not.
June 16, 2024
I received an ARC copy of this book.
I did end up DNFing as I couldn’t get past the strange, random details the author decided to go in to. Very detailed plane ride where there’s a rude lady next to her and she gets upgraded to first class and then the characters were very underdeveloped and lacked depth. There was little to no chemistry between the characters and very strange interactions that seemed as though they took one step forward and three steps back. At one point I thought I accidentally flipped back 10 pages because they had the same conversation and a similar interaction again but no. Just needs to be heavily edited and reviewed.
I made it about 20% in before I had to stop.
Also the author wanted us to wait 2 weeks post release date before posting any reviews under 3 stars and I just think that’s a bizarre and sketchy practice to demand that to almost trick people into reading your book. If you want honest reviews it shouldn’t matter when the reviews are posted. Left a bad taste in my mouth about this whole thing and, frankly, discouraged me from trying to pick up the book again.

I received this book as an ARC and was so excited to read a rugby romance as a player myself. Unfortunately, I had to force myself to read this and still only made it halfway through. I feel like this shouldn't have been an ARC but a first read through. There were just so many inconsistencies and it was unbearable for me.
-At one point the FMC was called a different first name? This was in Chapter THIRTY THREE. She was called Devon (her name is Dylan)
-There were texts from the FMC to characters who weren't introduced until a few chapters later.
-At the beginning of the book, the FMC states that the move to this new rugby club was "her first chance" but later on someone comes up to her and states she's their rugby idol.
-At another point one of the MMC (WHO IS A ROOMATE TO THE FMC) asks himself "does she (FMC) recognize me"??? YALL LIVE TOGETHER?
-FMC describing "nights together" with MMC which hadn't been detailed at all
- The MMC talk to themselves so much it's cringey.
-Entire passages were repeated a handful of times I thought I was going crazy. (ex. page 273 "You know she's into us? It's obvious," Noah says with a smirk" on page 279 "By the way, you know she's into us? It's obvious" Jayden says with a smirk"
I could really go on forever, and again, I only read half the book. Again, I really wanted to like this book. I really did.

This was my first book based around a sport, it was really good a reverse harem, the story line had Pov from all characters as they discovered and adjusted to their new relationship situation, I really enjoyed this book there was constant mention of rugby and you saw how Dylan battled her personal life and working carer I'm glad that rugby was a constant mention and that it wasnt just first chapter then no more mention of it again the book was wrapped up nicely :)

I got the opportunity to read this as an arc read. This was my first ever Arc and it didn't disappoint.
Firstly one girl and four incredibly hot rugby men what was not to like?
I normally love a slow burn the pace in this book was so good and the spice was amazing.
The book was written really well and I loved the main characters they were all different in their own way but very likable. I can't wait to read more of Heidi Starks books.

“It looks like someone bushwhacked a mountain of pubes and then blew it all over the room like dandelion spurs.”
There’s no universe in which I can root for the FMC to date or ever fuck men who sprinkle pubes around their bathroom like it’s air freshener. Is this a joke? Has the author met adult men or are these MMCs frat boys in disguise?
This is the biggest ick I’ve ever experienced.

this was heinous
May 17, 2024
I received an ARC of this book. I ended up DNFing it. It didn’t have any character development or tension between the characters. In a why choose I feel like you need that development. The plot fell off in a lot of the chapters. It was just rambling. I feel like there wasn’t any real relationship built between characters. It was a lot of run in type relations. Now I love sports romance especially why choose but this just wasn’t it. It didn’t hook me in like my usual reads.

I didn't really like this book..... I FLIPPING LOVED IT! This book had me right from the start. This was the very first time I have read a reverse heram, and I ain't even mad about it! I am here for it!
Ms. Heidi Stark, we're gonna need a second book like now! I need to know what becomes of Dylan and the crew. I'm not going to say too much more for fear of ruining it for everyone. When I say RUN!!! Don't walk... this was an absolute must read and I would recommend this to anyone that likes this genre. Heidi Stark, you ma'am are an amazing author and I can't wait to see more of your work!!

DNF: Time of death page 105.
As a huge rugby fan I’ve been looking for some rugby romances.
I thought this was going to be good. It started strong giving an overview of the game and player positions, which is helpful to anyone not as clued up on the game. This gave me hope that it was going to be a good plot with accurate details of the game.
By page 29 we had our first smut scene. The plot was lacking in the fact there wasn’t one. The story felt rushed and I just couldn’t get into it. There were a lot dream scenes of her having sex dreams about her roommates. Early on then it would just jump on in the ‘story’ no real flow at all
Disappointed to say the least. It takes a lot for me not to finish a story and not power through

Rucked by Heidi Stark is a why choose sports romance novel. I am thankful that the author took the time to explain rugby, the terms and how it is played. It really helped in making the novel flow smoother. The character development was done well. Dylan gets the chance to be a tough and rugged rugby player but also a very feminine female. I liked the guys (Noah, Killian, and Jayden). They end up all being roommates. The banter was between them was entertaining as well the spicy situations they found themselves in.
Overall this was a fun and entertaining read. I think Heidi Stark did a great job with a sports romance. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.

That was not what I was expecting at all!! From intense rugby matches to intense date nights, this book was a page turner!! It kept me wanting more and I fell in love with every character. I was worried about the clash of egos with such strong male characters but was pleasantly surprised to see each of their sensitive sides and their level of care. I definitely need to know what happens next as they start their adventure as a group.

DNF
I received this book as an ARC for a review. I had high hopes for it and was disappointed in everything but the smut. I DNF and then this proceeded to put me in a reading slump…
Every interaction between the characters seems unrealistic or forced, the plot feels rushed, and the smut is all over the place. Now the scenes themselves are fantastically written but besides those few pages every chapter the rest of the book is not giving what I thought it would.

yea no. first few chapters, what was the point? did not gain anything other than learn she is protective over her cat. also like where did Liv go? she disappeared halfway through the book. honestly it read like a game of episode where each chapter was a different location and like was written in that same way if it makes sense. “kitten” needs to be eternally removed from the list of terms of endearment. no way they would all be down for that too
May 18, 2024
I have to say it was adorable. My favorite had to have been Noah. It was very fluffy and it was a nice pallet cleanser. I’m not gonna lie. on the blurb though however, they said groveling. I was expecting some drama to happen and they would have to you know fight to get her back. But I was presently surprised with Jayden. I mean, he did have some hangups with his ex that I thought would’ve been flushed out a little bit more. This is a solid you know 3.5 stars. The spice is very light. I was very surprised, however with Kai. That’s a dark horse. #Yes. It would be great if there was a bonus scene, though with the group, like all of them together. (Like when they go on vacation to visit Kai‘s hometown) But then again that’s me being a smut whore. lol You did a really great job!
May 26, 2024
I loved this book so much. I didn’t think I would like a rugby romance but oooh did I! I enjoyed a lot, I hope you can all enjoy when the book comes out. Heidi Stark thank you so much. This book was beautifully written
May 27, 2024
ARC review: I ended up DNFing at 33%. I feel like I’m easy to please, giving most books 4 or 5 stars, but this was just painful. It felt like a rough draft and not a book only weeks away from release.
July 18, 2024
DNF. There was no character building and it hinted at details we were supposed to know but were never told. The characters didn’t have any chemistry, they seemed to be just thrown together
May 19, 2024
I am honored to be an ARC for this author. Excellent read by Miss Stark with the right amount of spice. I also appreciate the respect the male characters in this book show her in reference to the sport she so dominates in. That is so rarely seen in todays athletics. I honestly can't wait to read her next book 😍.
May 21, 2024
I read this book as an arc and loved it. Would definitely recommend one girl with 4 hot rugby players!! I love Spirograph romance and can’t wait to read more by Heidi stark!

I reached out to get an arc of Rucked. I was so excited about a sports book that wasn't hockey. I was so excited that I started reading it the day I received the book, I threw my long TBR to the wind.
I mean this in the kindest way possible, but this book needs an editor. I was so confused through most of the book. There's bits where it's just jumping around, and scenes come out of the blue and are nonsensical. It's almost as the ARC was an early draft rather than something about to be published.
There was so much potential in this book, but it just fell so short for me, unfortunately.

This was my first time participating in an ARC read and I really enjoyed it! The plot drew me in rather quickly and the tension between the characters made it so that I didn’t want to put the book down. There were some scenes that I felt didn’t have enough of a lead up to certain interactions with Dylan and her men. However, overall the book kept me on my toes the entire time. The very end was a little upsetting because you don’t really find out if she recovered from her injury enough to play rugby again, so I feel like an epilogue would have brought it all to a better HEA in my opinion.

I arc read this book.
I was excited to read a rugby romance for the first time. The plot sounded so interesting and fun! However it fell short for me. It was super hard to follow. I thought I missed half of the story and had to check that the book downloaded correctly. It seemed to miss important conversations that happened between characters. You can tell cause they allude to these moments that as a reader you never see. It skipped around a lot. The book over all needs more editing.

The characters and the scenes is the reason it gets 2 stars. I feel like not everything made sense.
There's many questions regarding Dylan and her background. That was annoying. And how all the guys just was okay with everything (just tiny bit of jealousy).
Didn't get much about any of the guys either. And hos Kai just came into the picture and Dylan decided "him too" or no one kind of.
It has potential to be better. I did enjoy it enough to finish it.

This was my first sport ARC read. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. I didn't know anything about the sport or anything and i have a newfound appreciation for the game. I loved all the characters in this book. Dylan is a smart impressive individual who just happens to get stuck being roommates with 3 gorgeous looking men who play on the men's rugby team.
