Hockey, Romance, Rivalry, Passion, Dedication, Friendship, Family, Trust Issues and one of the best tropes out their enemies to lovers. This book has ALL and so much more. I was really addicted once I got into this book I didn’t want to put it down. I received a copy from Net galley. Saw that it was a hockey book, I was like okay that sounds interesting let me check it out. I’m so happy I did and was chosen to review this book.
We meet Sebastian, who is a bit on the angry side at first just coming back from an injury and in skates Grace out of nowhere invading his personal space. The attraction is immediate for, but the enemies’ part must play out first. It’s a great dynamic and I can feel their intensity throughout the book.
Don’t want to give too much away because I think you should pick up this book and read it and even read it again to see if you miss anything. I can get you the basics though. The plot takes place in college, seems like it may be their last chance at hockey, and neither is one taking it for granted. But the two of them, Grace and Sebastian, have their own set of issues. They bring out the best in the other, they just don’t know it right away.
The friendship group (teammates) are so much more, even they have some great dynamics together, separately and coupling. I really can’t wait to see what happens in Puck 2. Also, can we just talk about the title of the book, I think that’s really what got me interested, because what a great title with a double entendre really. I loved everything about this book and found myself not wanting to put it down.
It must be noted there were quite a few spicy scenes peppered throughout the book, after all it’s a new adult book with characters in their twenties in college with all that testosterone and hormones flying about the ice it’s bound to happen. I usually don’t like those scenes so much, but these were not that overtly unappealing.
Overall, I really loved this book, hope you check it out and can’t wait to see what happens next. Sebastian and Grace are just two complex characters who need to learn to trust one another and together they can take over the world.
