Puck Your Friend
A full-length, high-heat Omegaverse hockey romance about second chances, found family, and truths that don’t stay buried.
Frankie met Ford, Wes, Logan, and Jace at sports camp. A group of boys who made space for her in a way no one else ever had. Back then, she was leading the charge, chasing a dream to make it big, and positive she'd be an Alpha.
Then she presented early.
Becoming an Omega didn’t just end her shot at going pro. It wrecked the identity she thought was unshakable.
Frankie walked away from everything she loved, convinced she no longer belonged.
Years later, a hockey documentary job puts her face-to-face with the boys she never stopped missing. Now they’re older, stronger, and impossible to avoid.
She’s not the girl they remember.
Letting them in now could cost her everything she’s built to feel safe.
But what if the love she’s always needed can only find her when she stops pretending to be someone else?This spicy Omegaverse hockey romance

This was a sweet omegaverse story, but it did have some trauma for Frankie. It was sweet how Frankie and the guys met at summer camp years ago and just fell right into step together. Little did they know they were meant to be together. Spicy but with just a bit of drama. Another great OV story!

I was enjoying it but it cut out most of Frankie’s heat and her first time with 2 of the guys. I dunno, it just annoyed me so I stopped reading after that

It was okay. Not as great as the first two in this universe. Mainly because I’m personally not a big fan of books that go back and force to past and present scenes. I’d rather have a prologue or just have to book be linear.

HEADED TO THE TOP OF MY 2025 LIST!
This was SUCH a great book! I had read books one and two in the series (in one day) and loved them so much I quickly got this one to keep my momentum. This book is so much more than the other two… not just in length but also in depth!
I devoured this and did not want to put it down. The slowwwwww burn is real and sets the foundation for an absolute explosion of heat and steaminess between Frankie and the men.
The glimpses back into their time at camp are so absolutely precious and it felt so real and natural moving through the progression of the story. Each one of the guys has their own path through while they have been together through it all!
Frankie’s story is so tragic and hurt my heart and I am so incredibly happy with the second half of this book and how it ends.
Highly recommend this read and I am on to read more of Sara’s books. I also need this one to become a movie.. or a series - come on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu…. STAT!

Oh my gosh you guys. Y’all.
I like the previous two books in this series, but book 3? This book?
The longer book, the broader, more in depth background, the character development, the way the present is built on the foundation of the past, that none of the MMCs are alphaholes (even with a redemption arc) had me rooting for Frankie, Ford, Wes, Logan, and Jace from the get-go, but that was just the beginning of this beautiful book.
Let’s start with Frankie. Our girl is not okay, but her pack has her back. After reading the Author’s Note (more on that later) I got a little anxious that this book was going to be high angst, and while Frankie’s addiction to hiding her designation (as the author describes it) and the consequences it carries is not easy to read, this is nevertheless still an essentially low angst book (with no third act breakup!)
And Friend, you want to talk about slow burn? Try over a decade slow! And it’s not just a callback to “we knew each other at camp/when we were kids.” We get a good half a chapter of the camp years in a lot of the chapters in the first half of the book, and the flashbacks dovetail with the current action beautifully. This wouldn’t work straight chronologically, and flashback narrating can go so wrong, but Sara Vincent does it so right! The in-depth flashback scenes are like the hoop that holds the skirt. The present-day story would be there without it, but it would hang limp and soft.
It's not just the flashbacks that are solid though. There’s a particular scene, at almost the 50% mark in a Frankie chapter (that I won’t spoil), but the action of the scene flickers back and forth between what’s happening on the ice and what’s happening within Frankie and it is masterful. That scene alone is 5 stars, holy cow!
Then after that slow burn, her first heat? Spicy of course, but also so sweet I don’t even have words, and not saccharine; no one’s walking away with any cavities, it’s just beautiful and supportive, and built on the foundation laid in the first half of the book. It feels like the “coming home” that so many romance books put in their characters thoughts or dialogue, but because the pack and Frankie had that deep bond and lasting friendship as kids, it feels authentic in a way that is unique to these characters.
The latter half of the book handles the individual vs. group dates really well also. In book 2 the solo dates were iffy, but in this book they’re phenomenal. Circling back to authenticity, there are moments when the men are with Frankie on their solo dates where they acknowledge (whether to themselves or her) that one on one time and having something special between just the two of them that they don’t share with the whole pack is something they want.
There are some punctuation issues that remind me of voice to text periods instead of commas that my phone does, a handful of typos or word placement errors, but none of them were so egregious that my brain couldn’t transmit the intent of the sentence/paragraph. Something that did make me tilt my head and say hmmmm were some of the flashback dialogues that felt a little too mature for 12 to 16/17 year olds, but not enough to drop even half a star.
Author’s Note – I loved this! When I read that this book is longer than the first two combined I was so excited! I had thought book Puck Your Nanny’s weaker points would have been shored up in a longer book and Puck Your Friend raised, called, and delivered!
You don’t need to read the previous books in the series to read Puck Your Friend (although some of the NAHL and Omega laws, etc. are more explained in the earlier books).
I feel like I’ll be drifting in the waters of contentment for quite a while after this.

I loved the first two books in this series. This one was definitely more smut than storyline, especially the last half.
Frankie meets the guys at a sports summer camp starting around age 11 or 12. Instant friends, they all look forward to meeting up each summer. As time goes on, they feel a pull but it's not really acknowledged until the end. Unfortunately, Frankie is yanked away quickly when she suddenly presents as an omega (much to her disappointment - she was hoping to be an alpha) and the guys have no idea what happened and don't have her address or phone number to find her.
Some 15 years later she is now working and will be interviewing the guys who all play for a hockey team. Things go haywire when everyone realizes the truth and....I don't want to spoil it. ;-)
No cheating, OW/OM drama, they're all obsessed with her. She just resists at first. HEA obviously.

I'm really enjoying this series of standalones, though Puck Your Neighbour is still my favourite, there is something almost special about this one. It's longer than the others, almost twice in length and there's a lot more depth and background to the story because of that. The glimpses of their camp days as tweens to teens were so heartwarming.
Like in the previous two, our fmc omega is struggling with her designation. For her, it's because everything about her was tied into her designating as an Alpha. Her personality, her dreams, everything and that all came crashing down when she presented as an omega instead.
I loved the guys. The second they spot Frankie again, they race over to her hug her and they're all in. There's no hesitation, no "why did you disappear?", they let her set the pace and are there to support her.

I'm not hiding or alone anymore.
To be totally convinced that you will present as one thing, so much so that everything you do, believe, feel, hope, dream, and set your whole future on doesn't allow for any other life decisions but that outcome. How do you survive when everything, including your four best friends, is ripped away in just a blink of the eye. This emotional, roller-coaster ride will take you back and forth through past and present times of Frankie and her amazing friends Ford-Logan-Jace-Wes. You won't want to miss this well written Best Friends/Omega/Alpha story that will grab you from the first page to the last.

This was a cute read. This was a bit longer than some of Sara’s other books, but there was a lot of history that was shown between the characters. Frankie attended a summer camp as a teen, expecting to designate as an Alpha. It’s there she meets her best friends, Ford, Wes, Jace and Logan. When her designation hits, she’s whisked away before getting the chance to get contact info for the boys. When she’s thrust back in front of them for work, they learn what really happened the night she disappeared. Will they forgive her? Will everything she’s worked for be taken away now that her secret is out?

Frankie is an omega in hiding. She always thought she would be an alpha and spent her summers in alpha/beta sports camp. Where she met her scent matches. Unfortunately for her, her dreams of playing alpha basketball were ruined when she presented as an omega. Whisked away, she hid her status for years till she ran back into her scent matches.
While the story is enjoyable. I felt it was fairly flat. The characters really didnt pop for me, or stand out. The alphas kinda blended into the same person without much division in personality. Its a good read. Just not that deep.

I loved the characters but with all the flashbacks you can get lost. I have read many books where the omega is hiding from the government and this one was a little better than those. She wanted to make a name for herself and was scared which is understandable especially with the way the world is right now. Its super cute and the character build up is really written well. I would just like to see more of them as adults vs them growing up. I get that the flashbacks show how close they were and what happened to her but it needed more. LOVE the knots though :)

What a sweet omegaverse read this was!
When Frankie was designated as an Omega at 16, she lost her closest friends—Wes, Jace, Ford, and Logan. Years later, she unexpectedly runs into her old camp friends again.
This is a wonderful, low-angst read about a female character struggling to embrace who she truly is. Jace and the guys have missed Frankie, and having her back in their lives, despite all the challenges they face, means everything to them. All of the characters are adorably cute, and I couldn’t help but fall for them.

I really wanted to love this book. I felt like it had a lot of promise. My biggest problem was that it felt like way too much jumping back into the past… I almost wish it had just been structured differently. Not only that, but it felt choppy and I don’t know… It was almost like more telling than showing. I really struggle to connect with any of the characters.
That being said this is the kind of book. I will probably go back and try and reread… Because I enjoy the authors work. So This could just be a temporary two star read for me it could end up being much higher.

I wish the author would've laid out this book differently. The constant bouncing back and forth between present & 11yrs ago kept taking me out of the story. I'd be enjoying it then all of sudden 11yrs ago... Then once I start enjoying that then we're back in the present again. It totally killed the flow for me. Also maybe its just me but the way the guys were written I didn't notice a difference from age 15 to their present ages, like once the author wrote them as teenagers that was it.

This was a lot more history in this book then in the past couple that I read from this author and I didn’t hate it…it made it longer yes but gave so much more to the storyline. I liked that they all lost their V card to each other as that was really different but I just didn’t gel with the guys on this one and the back and forth with the past and present made it a little hard to follow at times but overall liked the storyline. Solid 4 stars

This is book three of the Puck You Omegaverse Series. This one is longer than most I have read by Sara Vincent. I totally enjoyed this book. The banter and chemistry was there from the start of summer camps for several years for all of them.
Frankie, Logan, Jace, Wes and Ford met at a summer sports camp, they all attended for awhile always tying to be together. They knew the chemistry was there, but wasn't really sure what to do with it.

Sweet and Spicy
I enjoyed the style of this book as it moved between present day and flashbacks. It was refreshing to not have drama between the main characters but a part of me was disappointed by how quickly/easily things came to resolution. Nevertheless, I loved the innocence, growth…and let’s say experimentation of their adult relationship. It was a quick fun read with just the right amount of spice.

A must read omegaverse!!
Absolutely loved this story!! It was a different dynamix with an omega that doesn't wanna be & thinks something is very wrong with her being an omega. Watching that internal struggle unfold & not easily was extremely well-written! @Sara Vincent has a true talent for making her characters so real to the readers & we become part of the story (well at least I do)!!

Very cute
From childhood sweethearts, to finding each other later on in life this is exactly what second chance is about. Not my favourite, but still a good read. The characters were super sweet and supportive, no third act break up or huge amounts of angst. All lost their v card to each other which I thought was an interesting take. All and all good read.

The people that you meet when you go to summer camp can still be your friends today. This starts when these 5 people met at sports camp at 10 and they see each other every summer. Then when the guys beocme hockey players and she is a sports documentary person and they meet again. Fate is a wonderful thing sometimes. I love this author, and will follow her.

Decently Cute
This is a cute story of four friends and one gal who fell in love at summer camp only to be separated when their designations come in. For me, personally, it had too many flashbacks for how uncomplicated their past was. I found myself skimming or skipping over chunks.

OBSESSED!!! I am swooning over Frankie and her guys! I love that Frankie has always been an Alpha spirit and knows what she wants in life. She pivots and adjusts to make her life her own and snub traditional designation roles. The carving in the tree, camp, her guys, the separation, and the reunion... I'm a goner for their love story!!

Loved the camp dynamic and theme, so much I wanted more of it!
Would have flowed better if we had all the past scenes together at the beginning though vs going back and forth between past/present for the first half of the book. It made the reading choppy.

cute but…
The constant going back into the past was a bit much…I thought it was a cute story. I liked the concept of them saving themselves bc no one else smelled quite right and I don’t think enough authors do this with omegaverse stories. Sweet read and great palate cleanser.

No spoilers and it seems like a really good book. However, the constant flipping back and forth caused me to DNF the book. I'm sorry. Im sure it is a great book. I loved the storyline. I just cannot stand the constant flashbacks.
January 17, 2026
I like this book for the history between Frankie and her guys at it helps to understand them in the present. This book was longer which helped with the character building.
This book is romantic and sweet and the best thing was the lovely ending.
