Pucked Up Hearts #1

Exes and Oh Hell No

Rate this book
Ford Brooks was the love of my life.

Then I broke his heart, walked away, and spent a decade convincing myself it was for the best.

Now?

He’s back.

And he’s a famous hockey star.

A dangerously unhinged one who is completely, utterly, and ferally obsessed with me.

Which is why, after one reckless, tension-drenched moment, he kidnaps me.

Yep. You read that right.

KIDNAPS. ME.

Hauls me over his shoulder like a caveman, tosses me in his truck, and mutters something about “wedding vows” and “not being able to testify against your spouse.”

Oh, and let’s not forget the hockey mask chase through the woods.

Because why just kidnap your ex when you can terrorize her first?

Now I’m trapped in a remote cabin with a possessive psycho who has a wedding to plan, an engagement ring already picked out, and exactly zero intention of letting me go.

It gets worse.

My traitorous, lovesick heart is starting to like it.

I should be plotting my escape.

I should be resisting him.

But with every dark promise he growls in my ear…

With every deliriously filthy thing he does to my body…

I’m starting to remember exactly why I never stopped loving Ford Brooks.

And why escaping him was never an option to begin with.

A darkly hilarious, possessive rom-com featuring a morally grey hockey star who won’t take no for an answer, a feisty heroine determined to resist (and failing spectacularly), and a love story so wild it should come with a warning label.

Ford has been obessed over his ex for a long time now he's back home and sees her. Drinks together some flirting and a break in has Harper back in his arms only problem he doesn't wanna let her go. So what does he do kidnaps her shes going to be his wife. Now Harper is annoyed because he doesn't listen to her she dumped him before collage and yes she regrets it.

But she feels like things are moving way to fast and ontop of that she has a stalker who is ruining her parents house. Stalking her making her scared. She also having thoughts thinking Ford doesn't love her like that and how wrong she is.

We get the crazy hockey team, best friend and besties. The only thing I didn't enjoy is the grandma. I'm tired of the "crazy" grandma who flirts with her grandsons friends, acts like a teenager. Talks about her grandsons blue balls, few of her antics are over the top. I dont mind some things but it's gross to hear grandma talk about screwing one of her grandsons friends. Even as a joke. watch her be a main character in the other books... 😡

“You’re the love of my f*cking life. The heart that beats inside my chest belongs to you. The air I breathe, yours.” ❤️

Dark rom com
Hockey romance (technically but not at all actually)
Protective, possessive, obsessed, unhinged, morally grey MMC
Ex’s reunited
Found family
Spicy / mask, primal, & breeding kink
HEA

I liked this. It didn’t give me the feelings that I got during and after reading Lights Out (which is what got me interested in this specific micro trope), but it was still a pretty good read. I laughed, their spice was hot, and they got their HEA.
The side characters to me made a lot of the story. Gram was a whole mess, Allie was a good friend, Connor was a trip and he was down for all of the morally grey/unhinged activities, and the other guys were funny too. I can’t wait to read Connor and Allie’s story
As for the FMC and MMC..
I liked Ford. He was a little crazy lol but he knew what he wanted and that was to have Harper back.. by any means necessary.
Harper was cool for the most part, but her indecisiveness in the beginning was starting to get on my nerves, and towards the end I was getting tired of her whole “I’m going to keep testing him/keep acting out to get him to snap” thing. It was cute the first time, but got old quickly

Things I didn’t care for / wanted to change
- there wasn’t actually any hockey
- they hadn’t seen or spoken to each other/been together in 10 years, then (because he secretly stalked her online to keep up with her) he shows up back in town and asks her to dinner. I would’ve liked for there to have been more relationship building between them
- seeing them pregnant or having had their kids, since it was something they talked about a few times

SPICE: 🌶🌶🌶, RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25, VIBES: ❄️🏒❤️‍🔥‍

If you like hockey, heart-eyes heroes, sassy heroines, and a little “who’s stalking me?” sprinkled in your romance, run (don’t walk) to grab this one.

This book understood the assignment.
Hockey-playing MMC who's obsessed, super possessive, but respects the FMC's independence? Check.

A hilarious bestie bringing nonstop chaos? Check.

A savage grandma who needs her own spin-off series? CHECK.

It was the perfect mix of swoony, spicy, and suspenseful — I was laughing out loud, kicking my feet, and plotting theories like a full-time detective.

An ARC was provided to me by the author in for an honest and voluntary review. All of my reviews contain my honest opinions and are not affiliated with the viewpoint of the author. Please note that this review may contain spoilers. So reader discretion is advised. As always, be aware of your own personal triggers.


Jennifer Rose’s new book Exes and Oh Hell No is the perfect fusion of Comedy, Hockey, and Dark Romance.

Ford and Harper have a long and complicated history. The two were a couple for years before Harper breaks it off as Ford is set to start his NHL career. They reunite 10 years later when Harper is set to fix up her parents’ home and Ford is spending time with his laugh out loud Gram. It doesn’t take long for the two to continue their love story. But with a decade apart, the two realize that they have a lot to learn about each other and the truth behind their breakup. Ford is ready to drag Harper to the altar, but he knows it’s going to take some more convincing than just kidnapping the love of his life. But when an old flame begins to terrorize Harper’s life, the couple and their ragtag friends band together to stop the threat once and for all.


There are incredibly amazing characters outside of Harper and Ford. Ford’s grandma (affectionately nicknamed Gram) is a spitfire that says if like it is… even if no one wants to hear it. Then there is Connor, a teammate and friend of Ford. Connor is the epitome of comedic relief. His sense of humor is an absolute knockout and is unrivaled. Allie is Harper’s best friend and though she doesn’t have a huge role in this book… she’ll be front and center for the next book.

I will be honest and say, RomComs are generally not my thing… but this book was the perfect balance between Dark Romance and RomCom. Then you add a famous NHL player and his primal obsessions… and you’ve created a masterpiece. Longtime fans of Rose will even get to see a few cameos. So, watch for that!


I have yet to read a Jennifer Rose that I didn’t like, but she just gets so much better with each book she writes.
Exes and Oh Hell No will be an ongoing series and its unique fusion of genres makes it a series you do not want to miss! Read and Enjoy!

Love reading this story so much. This one had it all its dark moments, sweet moments and funny moments too. Love the love that Harper and Ford had for one another not even the time that they were apart their love faded.in my opinion it made it more stronger. Love reading every character that we came to meet in this story especially Gram! I’m hoping there would be more of this characters we came to meet! Love every moment of Harper and Ford story.

Harper and Ford were very much in love when younger. It broke their hearts when Harper ended it. She left. Ten years later she comes back to oversee renovating her childhood home. When they run into each other the fire is still there.

The perfect amount of darkness to keep you in intrigued with even more comedy and spice to keep you turning pages! The perfect distraction we all need in these crazy days lately! Grams and Connor even as side characters steal the show most of the time and have you laughing out loud! Can't wait to read more of the teams books!

Ford and Harper were end game.
Of course their journey to their HEA wasn't always smooth. 😉
It was filled with drama, some heartbreak, laughter, steamy goodness, and love.
This book had me laughing at times, sometimes on the edge of my seat, and swooning over Ford's jealous and possessive ways.
There was the perfect amount of dark, humor, and spice!

Crazy fun read.

This was such a great, fun, unhinged read. I just loved Harper and Ford, the chemistry between them was electric and they were so perfect for each other.
Looking forward to reading Allie's story, I have a feeling it's going to be just a crazy!

This was a fun quick 2nd chance light darkish rom-com. This would be the perfect book for someone interested in dipping their toes in dark romance.

Ford is over the top obsessed but in a hilarious way. Sure, he technically kidnaps Harper but she doesn’t really mind. She likes being a brat but ultimately lets Ford’s controlling nature win.

I loved all of the secondary characters, they were all a hoot. I wish I had gram cracker as a granny.

Knocked down a star because I felt it started getting repetitive halfway in. Still enjoyable but the second half was filled with spice and Ford’s declarations of “mine”.

Can’t wait for Allie’s and Connor’s story!

I dropped everything to read this book just from the description ...I am so glad I did! This is the perfect book; great humor, thrilling; and hot and steamy. The book was hilarious and had the perfect touch of darkness that left you on the edge of your seat. Ford and Harper were very playful and had the best cat and mouse game. Gram and Connor stole the show with their flirting and quick wit. Oh, and the hockey group chat; nothing like hockey players planning a wedding. Loved this book and hoping for Connors next!

We all know that my favorite spice girl is Super Spice, but every once and a while you read a book that makes you wish there was less spice. This is such a book.

This book had a good story and some great characters, but sometimes it felt like they were just filler to get to the next spicy scene. I have questions

What really made this book was the characters, I loved the whole group of side characters. They were all there own people that did more than prop up the 2 MC. Give me more Connor and Grams and day. Overall, I did enjoy this book and look forward to the next one in the series.

A romcom with dark romance sprinkled in, is my fav new genre. Omg Ford’s Grams is probably my all time favorite side character. 😂😂 The banter between all the characters will have you in tears. Ford and Harper are so perfect together. When Ford Brooks wants something nothing will stop him. Including Harper, the woman he loves and WILL get back. Even if it means a little light kidnapping 😂 The way Harper tried to fight it knowing she really didn’t want to. I can NOT wait for the next book in this series!

I absolutely ate this book up! It was perfectly balanced with dark romance and humor! I love their humorous banter and omg grams! She was my favorite! Absolutely hilarious.
And Ford! Over protective, possessive!
Stalker vibes masked man chasing through the woods! Ford can tie me up and swing me over his shoulder anytime! 🥵🔥
Conner was funny too I can’t wait to read his story with Allie in book 2! I hope it continues where it left off and we see a hilarious honeymoon with the gang! And the gang! Loved the found family they have with fords team mates and how they have his back.
Just a tad bit repetitive

What to expect
An unexpected dark durn
Wickedly hilarious banter
Strong side supporting characters
Masked protective, obsessive stalker MMC “Mine”
Strong FMC

10/10 recommend this read! Thank you Jennifer Rose for the opportunity to reading this! This moved up the list as one of my favorite hockey romance reads! 🔥🔥

I loved this one and devoured it on my 3 hour flight between Washington and Arizona. When I tell you I was trying to stifle my laughter, I wholeheartedly mean it.

If you're looking for an unhinged dark rom-com, this is it. It doesn't take itself seriously and gives you heaping doses of spice (it's steamy spice, too!).

Ford and Harper were sweethearts, but broke up. Now they're both back in their hometown. Ford is on the hunt for Harper and Harper is doing her best to avoid him. Unfortunately for Harper, Ford and embarrassment follow her wherever she goes, so much so that Ford kidnaps (ladynaps) her. Add in Ford's straight shooting grandma and his golden retriever comedic bestie, Connor, and you've got Exes and Oh Hell No.

I wasn't really sure I'd enjoy this book. They all seem to blend together, but I am excited to tell y'all that was not the case here. I absolutely loved this book. Gram has me crying because I lost my gram recently and she was my best friend and reminded me of this gram. Anywho, I wish we would get a book about their past. I'd have loved to know more about how they started dating in high school and the struggles they had back then.

Wow! This book was so good! I was cracking up laughing throughout most of this book! These characters are hilarious! This book is definitely a dark, RomCom romance. Please check any trigger warnings. I highly recommend reading it, especially if you love tall, sexy, possessive, unhinged Hockey player MMC. 🥰⭐🌶️🥵

Meat & Taters:
Reading through the first dozen chapters of ‘Exes and Hell No’, I had to pause a few times to remind myself I was NOT sitting in a room with my sisters, in-laws, kids, nieces, nephews, grands, etc. The hilariously embarrassing bickering and faux barbs brought back so many wonderful memories! And isn’t Gram grand?! Anyone should count themselves lucky to have such a rare gem to call their own.

Fast forward to Ford tying Harper up, tossing her over his shoulder, kidnapping her, and…well, what they do when they get to grandmas…whew! Where’s MY Ford?!?! Truss me up and shackle the door, I’ll run through the forest—well, ‘run’ might be a strong word for what I can do … I’ll walk pretty fast, as long as it’s not uphill!

Well, color me surprised—this was a wild ride I didn’t know I needed! This book is a serious curveball from Jennifer’s usual fare for me… and yet, somehow, it’s still quintessentially her. Who would've guessed that a stalker romance could be this hilarious? Honestly, I was cackling—and the main culprits were Ford’s best friend, Connor, and his absolutely unfiltered, firecracker of a grandma, Gram (a.k.a. " Gram Crackers" and for good reason). That dynamic duo stole every scene they were in, with Gram dishing out unfiltered commentary and Connor playing the perfect mischievous sidekick. They were like comedy gold. But let’s talk about the main event: Ford and his slight” obsession with Harper. Things go from simmer to full boil when they both return to their hometown after a decade apart. At first, I was bracing myself for a standard second-chance rom-com… until Ford decides that subtlety is overrated and opts for a little “gentle persuasion” to get a second chance. You know—kidnapping Harper and tying her to his bed. Totally normal behavior. That’s where the classic Jennifer Rose kicked in. The chase scene in the woods? Absolutely unhinged and completely brilliant. It’s amazing what a little adrenaline and mild terror can do for a relationship, honestly. The balance between dark and delightful was almost pitch-perfect—almost. There were a few moments, like Ford’s handling of Harper’s stalker, that veered into whiplash territory. A bit too dark for the otherwise quirky vibe? Maybe. But then again, this book thrives on chaos, and somehow, it works. Once Harper gets over the whole “kidnapped by my ex” situation, she realizes she might actually like being Ford’s captive. Especially when it comes to the more … ahem physical aspects. Girl was thriving, okay? And as Ford’s hockey bros start rolling into town for the big wedding, things go from mildly crazy to full-on hilarious mayhem. It felt like being dropped into a wildly inappropriate, fun-loving family reunion—and now I want to be invited to every single event. I’m officially hooked. Bring on the rest of the hockey crew—I’m ready to get personal.

She is back in town to see to the sale of her parents house. He is home between seasons visiting his grandmother. It has been 10 long years and he has never stopped keeping tabs on her. They were high school sweethearts, him poised to be recruited to the NHL when she broke up with him. He never understood why. She was it for him. Everything. She was afraid she was too small town to keep him, she wanted him to have what he wanted even if it didn't include her. He has decided time is up, he isn't playing anymore. She was always his, and will always be his and they are getting married, even if he has to kidnap her to make her see things his way. This was my first experience with this author and I am already looking for more of her books. I am not sure even how to categorize this story. In the beginning you see that it is a second chance at love story, you see that it is an OTT instalove story where he has been all in and is ready to up the ante. You then see that he is more than a little unhinged when it comes to her, at first in the possessive caveman way, but then you find out it is really so much more than that. He is possessive, he is obsessive and they might even share a bit of a stalker/primal kink. Once things get steamy for them, the spice level just rockets right off the pages and frankly you are going to need a cold shower. Or several of them. They have lots of on page spice. And it gets hotter as they learn to trust each other again. My only critique is that he has some friends that help him out at one point who I am hoping have a story in another book as they clearly have a backstory that was a little confusing. There is a little danger/drama arc to navigate, but don't you get your panties in a bunch (if they haven't already melted right off by now) he is most definitely the guy to handle it. They get their happily ever after, he wouldn't have it any other way. And the stage is already set for the next couple who you meet in this story...so read this one first because the next is coming and I can't wait.

This is a hockey romance that revolves around a psychotic and obsessed character, Ford. This is also a darker rom com because of side characters. Mainly for me, a rom com because of Connor and Gram. Their characters were so hilarious and over the top. Ford has been obsessed with Harper, even though they have been split up for 10 years.

When Connor gets the chance to see Harper 10 years later, he doesn't take any chances and kidnaps Harper to "protect her." Harper has a stalker. Ford is just as unhinged and deranged as the stalker. Ford just isn't quiet or in the background. Ford is at the forefront of everyones lives. Slowly, Ford unleashes a side of Harper that has remained hidden. That side being that Harper is into the primal kinks that Ford offers.

This book is the first in the interconnected Pucked up Hearts series. I believe we met the characters that will be in future books. This sets up Ford and Harper's friends to fall for one another. The next book will feature Connor and Alli. Ford's whole hockey team and all of Harper's friends, plus Gram travel to Las Vegas. Las Vegas is the setting for the next book. I'm looking forward to Connor's story and seeing more, hopefully, from Harper and Ford.

This is the 1st book in the Pucked Up Hearts series featuring the deliciously dark and spicy OTT unhinged,hockey, insta-love, rom-com with an obsessed possessive hockey player Ford a feisty heroine Harper. Ford and Harper have history together they were HS sweethearts and he was on the verge of going to the NHL when suddenly Harper broke up with him and Ford never understood why she did. Ford loves Harper she's his everything he plans on spending the rest of his life with her which is why he's kept tabs on her all these years that's how he knows that Harper is finally back in town. Now that Ford knows that Harper is back he's decided that her time's up that they're getting married even if he has to kidnap her while he's home between seasons. Harper only came to town to take care of selling her parents house not to see Ford who she still has feelings for but wants to avoid at all costs but he's on the hunt for her. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this deliciously dark and spicy OTT, unhinged, hockey, insta-love, rom-com to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

Honestly, I didn’t know if I was going to be able to finish this book in time for this review, but hear me out it wasn’t because the book was horrible. Far from it actually. It was because of al the jokes and craziness that came out on the page, it had me laughing uncontrollably and caused me to have to go back and re-read a few lines to make sure I read it correctly.

I knew I was going to love this book just from the blurb it came with. Unhinged, Possessive, Willing to burn everything in his path to get to her? Ford had me hooked. I enjoyed the interactions between all the characters, but the interactions between Ford, Harper, His Gram, and his whole unhinged hockey team had me dying.

Kidnapping, Sex, and Murder what more could a girl ask for from a romance novel? Oh right…an unhinged third party threatening the FMC, bring out the protector that’s what.

I didn’t realize till now I love these books. With just the right amount of violent and caring moments it’s a great balance. Strap in hummingbird, because you’re about to go on the ride of your life ;) ENJOY.

This was my first read from Jennifer Rose and it was a good quick story. I absolutely love Gremlin Gram and Connor! They are what made and kept the story entertaining. I didn’t care much for the FMC and MMC as it felt over the top and unjustified in some parts. Also, the ending a certain character just made no sense as well. Definitely could’ve had less of the FMC constantly referring her ex being a hockey player. We got it the first time and didn’t need to keep being reminded. Also, book takes place when hockey is not being played so if you like hockey romance don’t expect anything more than the knowledge of him being a hockey player.

While this one had some flaws I’m definitely going to read the next book as it’s about Connor and his character is fantastic.

I didn't finish this book. They haven't seen each other or spoken in 10 years. They run into each other at a restaurant near where they both grew up. He immediately asks her to dinner. They have a nice time.

Someone throws a rock through her window with anote that says this isn't over. Yet she doesn't call the police. She calls him instead for help. He goes over and drives her back to his grandmother's house. NOBODY EVER CONTACTS THE POLICE. It made no sense.

Then a day later he decides to kidnap her and get married. But for 10 years he did nothing to get her back. Zero messages. Zero contact. Suddenly he is all in? It felt unbelievable.

I gave up at that point.

I loved this book, but the FMC has the same name as my step-daughter. But I was a big girl a pushed through by just changing the name in my head and I am so glad I did.

This book has banter, spice, anticipation everything you could ask for.

I love that even after 10 years, they still pull back to one another. The found family aspect of this and the fact that Gram is a legend just made this book 10x better.
Harper is a tough FMC but when something goes wrong, Ford is the one she calls.
Ford would burn the world for Harper, but she doesn't know that, not yet anyway.
I'm intrigued to read what happens in Vegas, and hopefully Connor's and Allie's book.

It was good but then it could be better

This book had me giggling about 40% of the time. I loved the idea and the premise of this book, but then around 50% it felt like a wattpad story. I felt like there was a lot of humor and conversations that were trying to be funny that fell flat for me. The only plot really ended at 70% and the rest was all smut. Don't get me wrong, I do love smut, but it felt like it could have been spread out a bit more. I wouldn't necessarily call it a Dark rom com. It screamed more like a rom com with some kinks. I did have a good time reading it at first but I felt like there could be more to it.

This book is so unhinged and I loved every minute of it. This is a second chance, obsessive, possessive, touch her & die romance. Ford is the MMC. He's a hot head, he's a professional hockey player and he is a stalker. Harper is the FMC. She works in P.R. She's beautiful and curvy girl, but she's not 100% comfortable in her skin. They were in love in high school and college BUT when Ford gets drafted by the NHL Harper breaks things off because of her insecurities. So now it's 10 years later, she's back at her parents' house renovating it and he's visiting his grandma who lives across the lake. They run into each other on their first night home and reconnect over dinner. Later that night Harper experiences a threat and Ford responds at level 10! He decides to "kidnap" her for her safety and then he tells her she is going to marry him. That's just the beginning of the madness. Can Ford convince Harper that they are still meant to be? Who is threatening her? If you love unhinged madness and a lot of spice (the spice is at least 35% of the book) you will love this. Buckle up because it's quite a read and ride.

OMG, I can't believe I almost didn't give this book a chance. It was completely new to me, but guys, I'm hooked. Dark Romance – I need more!!!!! Those two were just the sweetest.

Harper has definitely landed among my favourite power girlie pops, and Ford – no words. Oh, and we can't forget our lovely Grams and Conner. Lady, you're awesome. Never met anyone with such a sassy mouth at her age, but I love it!

Perfect suspense building, action, plot twists, BED SCENES – omg, perfect, just perfect. I will definitely be reading more in this genre. WOW!!! Thank you to the author for this experience.
