[The Book Ssirren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Each of these were such a fun read. I absolutely enjoyed all of them. They were so sweet and fun. Loved ho each one was different from the others. Each of these were written so well. They held just enough depth to make these novellas feel like they were full length novels. I had a wonderful time reading these.

Do. Not. Pass. This. Up.
Ok, I’m a huge Zee Irwin fan and a big hockey fan so I might be a tad bias but honestly these books are some of my favorite and there’s no better deal than getting all of these delightful books together. Oh, and if that’s not a big enough reason, a few of these sexy hockey guys are cowboys too! And they fall hard for their women! Yeah, you really do want these.

Pucker Up, Cowboy (Prequel)
You had better get your skates on and laced tight or your boots in the stirrups good and hat tight on your head before you start this Zee Irwin novella because the game and the ride is going to be fast and wild. I’m not a sports fan but I love a good sexy talking cowboy so I was curious as to what happens when you take a true in the saddle cowboy and make him a hot shot hockey player….well I now know and so does Phoebe Tate in the unbelievable package of Duke Daniels also known as Cowboy. The pace of this book is fast and it only takes 1-2 hours to read but it has a lot packed in between the covers. Phoebe is the daughter of a retired football player who owns not only a football team but now a hockey team too. She’s also the daughter who can never do anything right according to her father including her first marriage. Duke has taken time away from hockey to be with his sister after the devastating death of her husband and his best friend. He’s now back in the minor leagues in Los Angeles with a team called the Puckers. His teammates have voted him captain of the team and they’re out at a local bar when all of a sudden a beautiful woman drops into his lap and steals his hat. Now the hunt for the thief and a desperate woman who just can’t do anything right is on and Duke is going to prove he’s one of the good ones by being the protective cowboy that he is.
1. For Puck’s Sake
A quick second chance after a one night stand romance between semi-pro turned pro hockey player Tucker “Cowboy” Bellamy and Whitney Dawes, sister to overprotective Brad Dawes Tucker’s agent. Brad took over guardianship of Whitney many years ago because of their lousy parents and he’s very protective of his sister issuing one important rule to all his sports clients, “Don’t touch my sister”. Tucker has no problem with that until he sees Brad’s sister and realizes he’s already broke that rule.
This one will have you needing the tissues over the sweet tender moments when Tucker experiences the sweet joys of fatherhood and having his own family together. No major drama just a moment of tense confrontation but lots of pleasant past memories and present memories being made.
2. The Pucker Next Door
What happens when you are trying to make it to the pros in the hockey leagues and you find out you just hooked-up with the coach’s daughter who you are falling hard for? Zee Irwin brings the answer in this hot and steamy nice, nerdy boy next door yet hot hockey goalie and the coach’s daughter who has given up on men especially hockey players after a horrible past relationship with a player. Yes, he’s the nice boy next door to her grandma but he can bring on the heat when needed and the banter between the two is great. I loved how Sebastian “Storm” is portrayed in this book. The nice guy but with an alpha possessive streak and self assurance to himself but not in an arrogant way. Misty’s character was fun, fast and flirty once she got past the failed relationship. And I had to laugh…the chicken dance will live on forever!
3. Beauty and the Pucker
Wow! Girls meet the newest, hottest, Zee Irwin created, and every woman’s dreamy book boyfriend. Cody “Big D” Ford is a book boyfriend beyond most women’s dreams. He’s not only a cocky self assured bull riding cowboy with the time in the seat to back his boastful banter up, and he’s not only the left defenseman and hard hitting enforcer for the Los Angeles Puckers hockey team with the hits and stats to show but he’s also the most caring, loving, protective and equipped in all ways to back-up all his sexy banter claims and nickname best boy friend a girl could ever ask for and thankfully Kallie Ann Campbell does just that. Eventually. And Kallie, the Montana Rodeo Queen and women’s barrel racer, has Cody Kallie-fied after just one night. And that’s before he sees her in the little black dress with heels as the daughter of the man who owns the Austin Capitals hockey team and learning she’s the teams PR manager now working under her ex-finance at the demand of her father. Yeah, Cody’s got it bad but he “will be there waiting for her” whenever she needs him and Kallie does need him.
This is one of those books that even with all the drama going on you just can’t help smiling whenever Cody and Kallie interact; whether it’s through texting or face to face, their conversations and chemistry just light up the pages and you’re definitely not putting it down until the very end. Zee Irwin does it again! She delivers a book with fantastic characters, enough drama to keep the emotions rolling but not enough to cause anxiety, conversations and banter to either make you blush, laugh or see red and possibly all three in the same scene, and she even manages to tease us as to what might yet to come in upcoming books while reminding us of some from before. I recommend reading this one and making “Big D” your book boyfriend today.
4. My Puckin’ Luck
The last book in the Puckers series is about Miles St. James, known as “Saint” to his friends and fellow hockey players. Saint is the oldest, biggest and last of the original five Puckers from the beginning of this series still playing with the semi-pro team. He’s known as a playboy with the party happening at his big spacious home but what no one knows is that he’s carrying a big burden, a very sad loss, and Anastasia Jovovic will be the “angel” who will help him finally move pass the loss from ten years ago. Get your box of tissues and your fans ready for this one because you’re going to need the tissues when you discover Saint’s loss and the fan when Saint and his angel finally agree they are more than roommates.
Zee Irwin closes this series out with an heart wrenching emotional story for Saint and a disappointing parental situation for Anastasia but ends with the characteristic Zee Irwin happy ever after for all leaving the reader with the experience of an emotional story well told but completely content and satisfied afterwards.

For Puck’s Sake – "A grumpy center falls for his agent's sister... and gets a surprise he didn't see coming." - This is a fun and cute story about Tucker, Whitney and a surprise. They meet one night and have some passionate fun but that's all they have. A couple of years later they meet again, only this time all bets are off. This is a good story with likable characters.

The Pucker Next Door – "A flirty goalie meets his neighbor's granddaughter in one hilarious situation—then finds out she's totally off limits." - This is a fun and cute story about Sebastian/Storm and Misty. This is the second in the "Puckers" series but stands alone and even has a fun meet cute. This is a good story with likable characters. It is a grumpy/sunshine where opposites attract with a fun grandmother thrown in the mix.

Beauty and the Pucker – "A lumbering defenseman meets a rodeo queen, and protects her at all costs." - This is a good story about Cody/Big D and Kallie. This is the third story in the "Puckers" series but stands alone and is a touch forbidden. Big D is not only a bull riding cowboy but also the enforcer and defense player for the Los Angeles Puckers hockey team. Kallie is a cowgirl, rodeo queen and barrel barrel racer. She is also the daughter of the owner of the Austin Capitals hockey team. Her father is controlling and has just named her ex, Jeremy, as her boss and demands she gets inline and marries her Jeremy. Cody is shocked when she sees her and hears who her fiancé is. He knows him and there is history with this guy. She has abuse coming from both sides and luckily, she has a cowboy who is willing to take a stand for her. This is a good story with likable characters, and some not so much.

My Puckin’ Luck – "The right winger playboy breaks all the rules for his new roommate." - This is a good story about Miles/Saint and Anastasia. This is the fourth story in the "Puckers" series but stands alone and is a touch forbidden. Saint is a right winger for the Los Angeles Puckers hockey team with a playboy reputation. As all of his friends have moved on and found their special someone he is the last remaining in his group. He is not interested in finding his forever, he has been down that path before. Anastasia was friends with one of his buddies girlfriends so they have been around each other before. She knows of his reputation and realizes she could fall for him and have her heart broken so she keeps him at arms length and in the friend zone. There is a pull between the two of them that is undeniable. This is a good story with likable characters and so much more.

Pucking Yours Box Set - The Puckers Books 1-4

Pucking Yours is the first book in the Hockey Lovers Romance Collections, and contains the 4 books for The Puckers series:

1. For Puck's Sake

2. The Pucker Next Door - To every Storm there is some Misty
The Pucker Next Door is the third book in The Puckers series. This book tells the at times laugh out loud story of Misty and Sebastian, aka Storm. She is the coaches daughter and he is the goalie looking to finally make it to the big league. But with more than a few interfering and very funny grandmothers in his new building Storm's life is about to get upended in a way he never expected.
This book is a great addition to this sizzling and sweet series. I really enjoyed the story and the characters, including all the funny antics. Can't wait for the next book to be released!

3. Beauty and the Pucker - Bulls and beauty
Beauty and the Pucker is the fourth book in The Puckers series. This is an entertaining and good hockey romance read. The story finds Kallie and Cody, who have more in common than either thought when they first meet. These two have immediate chemistry that is bucking like a bronc....so hold on tight as this book is about to get wild. Well not really but it is going to be a smexy fun time.

4. My Puckin' Luck - Healing together
My Puckin' Luck is the fifth book in The Puckers series. I am really enjoying this series and this book is a solid addition to it. This is a hockey romance about Anastasia and Miles, aka Saint. They have mutual friends and have been known to hang out as a group together. She is a screenwriter for romance movies and he is a hockey player who is also independently wealthy. They both have scars from their pasts which have so far kept each of them from settling into a relationship. But together they have a spark that has been simmering since they first met. But with him having a reputation as a player she does not trust him. That changes when he steps in and has her move in with him after her apartment is damaged. Living together they get to know each other in a deeper level and start opening up, healing and maybe even having a future together.
Really loved this story and the characters. The story-line is interesting and solidly written. The characters are well developed and get peeled back over the course of the book. A sweet and very spicy read with a delicious HEA.

[JP18267 · Rating 5 out of 5]

The perfect mix of hilarious and steamy hockey romances!

They all have great humor, lots of spice, and amazing characters you can't help but love! Each has a unique story; the guys all fall first, their own set of problems, and cameos of past characters. The pucking perfect collection!

Pucker Up, Cowboy

I felt instantly immersed in the world of Tucker and Whitney. Their connection was undeniable, and I loved that jump between past and present giving glimpses of their passion. They make the perfect team navigating family life with their witty banter and sizzling chemistry. A fun, quick read with the perfect blend of humor, sweet family moments, and steamy encounters.

The Pucker Next Door

Mischievous grannies, a jaw-dropping meet-cute, and some seriously steamy elevator moments had me hooked! Storm—the shy, reserved hockey player, who should have been nicknamed 'Gramps'—is the perfect match for Misty, the funny and beautiful professional attendee for hire. The grandmas in the retirement community stole the show; they were absolutely hilarious.

Beauty and the Pucker

I knew these two were going to have a story, and was so happy I was right! Big D "Cody" is cocky and arrogant, and Kallie is just the woman to put him in his place! I absolutely adored them; once he broke through her walls, he was the ultimate protector. I was rooting for them the whole time. This story was a little darker but ended up being perfect for their journey.

My Puckin Luck

Finally! The book I have been waiting for...Saint and Anastasia to get their perfect storybook ending. It was crazy to see how much they have in common despite coming from two different worlds. I loved that they have been circling each other in the previous books, giving the perfect buildup. The push-and-pull was addictive and I was on the edge of my seat!

For Puck's Sake - 5 stars
Agent's Sister

A steamy night between Tucker and Whitney was more memorable than they expected but they did not exchange information. What I really enjoyed was their reunion a few years later as Tucker wanted an actual relationship with Whitney and did everything to prove it to her. This was a delightful story and these characters were great together. I could not put it down.


The Pucker Next Door - 5 stars
Good Guy Wanting More

Storm and Misty are neighbors but a revelation that she is his new coach's daughter makes the possibility of their pairing complicated. This was a fun story with some witty moments as well as steamy scenes that I found enjoyable. The fact that he won't let that get in the way and he will take charge of his career was a great addition to this story.


Beauty and the Pucker - 5 stars
Summer Connection

Woah, what a great story! Kallie is in need of time to reset her emotions, and Cody's summer is spent riding bulls. When they meet in Montana, they never expected to see each other again during hockey season. The chemistry between was intense, but her family and ex don't make it easy for them to become something more. I absolutely loved this story, and Zee Irwin did an excellent job at writing this one


My Puckin Luck - 5 stars
Another Great One

Saint and Anastasia have had romantic set backs that keep them from acting on their feelings for each other. Not only do their hurtful pasts and insecurities add to the obstacles, but their close proximity fuels the fire between them. This was another great read by Zee Irwin that I could not put down.

If you’re in the mood for fast-burn romance, swoony athletes, and plenty of heat, Pucking Yours by Zee Irwin is an addictive, feel-good binge that delivers exactly what sports romance fans crave.

This collection is packed with quick, high-energy love stories where the hockey players fall hard, the chemistry sparks instantly, and the emotional moments hit when you least expect them. Each novella brings its own flavor—grumpy meets forbidden, flirty neighbors, protective heroes, and playboys discovering there’s more to life than the game. Despite the short format, every couple feels distinct, with their own challenges, personalities, and swoon-worthy journeys.

What really makes this collection shine is the balance. There’s humor, steam, and heart in equal measure. The banter is sharp and playful, the romantic tension builds quickly, and the characters—especially the fiercely loyal, sometimes over-the-top protective heroes—are impossible not to root for. The team dynamic and recurring characters also create a fun sense of connection across the stories, making the whole collection feel like one big hockey family.

From laugh-out-loud moments to surprisingly tender scenes, this box set keeps the pages turning and delivers satisfying happily-ever-afters every time. Perfect for readers who love alpha heroes, strong heroines, and romance that’s equal parts playful and passionate.

A fun, steamy collection that proves love can hit just as hard as a body check.

Zee has a knack for weaving her storyline with lightheartnedness and humor and creating characters that are realistic, flawed, funny, and all-around likeable. This series is packed with great couples who each have a unique and compelling story. I had read several of these previously, but enjoyed re-reading them greatly. If you're a hockey fan (and maybe partial to cowboys as well) and like your romance fast paced, fun and flirty, you'll love this box set as much as I did. It deserves more than 5⭐️ but I have to settle for what I got to give.

I was gifted this box set and voluntarily provided this review. Happy Reading Y'all📚

[Leanne Bryson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This collection brings together four steamy hockey romances that deliver plenty of heat and heart. I especially appreciated how the author skillfully builds the relationships between the main characters, letting tension and connection grow naturally rather than rushing into things.
The chemistry is electric—intense, passionate, and undeniably steamy—while the characters themselves feel realistic, relatable, and deeply developed. The writing pulls you right into their world, making you experience every bit of their angst, longing, and eventual love. These stories are emotionally engaging and beautifully crafted.

Pucking Yours: The Puckers contains books one to four of the series.

For Puck’s Sake - agent's sister, surprise pregnancy, off limits
The Pucker Next Door - I found this one to be extremely funny
Beauty and the Pucker – he falls first, insta love
My Puckin’ Luck – roommates, playboy reputation

All of these stories interconnect with characters, but they can be read as standalones. I loved them all for their own separate reasons. Great collection.

I enjoyed these stories with funny, sentimental, nice, and fun moments, and different life problems. The MCs deal with various levels of struggles to be together, standing up for what and who they want. Some of them, after having bad experiences, find someone good, worth fighting for, and some change their own ways.
