“my clingiest and most codependent MMC who will literally watch the world burn to keep her safe”
I NEED WINTER AND TRISTAN YESTERDAY
um. ok. update. I read it… 😬
is it just me or was this about everyone but Tristan and Winter? 😕
it felt like focus shifted to past and future couples every other page. ☹️ like there was more thought put into every character BUT Tristan and Winter
don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind hearing from those other characters, but some of that time could’ve been better spent focusing on the main couple imo

Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice Rating: 🌶🌶🌶
HEA: 🌟🌟🌟/3
❗️Safety and Small Spoilers Below❗️
📌 Triggers: Violence (on-page) Murder (on-page) Traumatic Sexual Experience (past) Panic Attacks & Night Terrors (on-page) Death of a Parent (on-page; past)
📌 MMC was forced SA the FMC by a group of car-jackers. She doesn't hold it against him and knows it was life or death but MMC feels a lot of guilt. The scene isn't on-page and is only briefly recounted.
📌 No Cheating/Sharing
📌 No OWD/OWD
📌 Each other's first and only
📌 No Separation/Third-act Breakup
📌 Notes: This story was all about Tristan & Winter healing and accepting their love for each other. The storyline drama gets wrapped up before the third act. And from there it's fluff. The MCs can freely be themselves and openly express their love. I devoured this book in 4 hours and for anyone who was a fan of them in the past books, will definitely enjoy this one.

London Snow writes > I read it > I love it 🤭
I have been waiting to read Tristan and Winter’s book ever since they were first mentioned in book one of the series. I was sure they were going to serve, and this they did. I have another book couple I can obsess about.
Winter and Tristan gave me all the good feels. You could see right from the start how much they love and care about each other. Both equally, deeply obsessed and protective. He puts a tracker into her just to make sure she’s safe? She asks him to do the same, and he agrees without hesitation. And don’t even mention how she can calm him down with just a touch 🥹
Winter is the only person for Tristan to be all vulnerable with. And I love how boyish he is when he is with her. Again, I love the author for having her characters communicate easily, without any unnecessary drama included.
I also love that London Snow doesn’t forget about other characters from the series, and they appear often. Their little family is the best thing and I really appreciate how they care about their friendships and relationships. An honourable mention of Madi and Hayden, because I’m obsessed with the way he’s obsessed with her 🤭🤭🤭 He just loves her way too much and I respect everything about it.
The only thing about this book that felt weak to me was probably the suspense part of it. I think their problem got solve a bit too quickly and easily, and I would love to have some more of it. But besides that, I loved everything.
As always, the book is safe. No OWD or OMD, no cheating/sharing/3rd act breakup. Each other’s first and only. You’re promised a hero that is obsessed, and that is what you get.
Thank you to the author and The Smuthood for sending me this ARC.

★★★★★. Thank you so much to the author London for this ARC! There may be some spoilers so please read at your own risk!!!
Another virgin obsessed man who speaks like poetry about his woman who is willing to do anything to be with her even if that means just sitting and watching her? Another strong heroine who is actually a ballerina and continues to make her man be obsessed? An immediate 5 stars.
I have been waiting for tristanwinter since haydenmadi and MY GOD did London deliver. She gave plot, suspense, a backstory, the love, the angst and the amount of side characters to want more books.
Tristan, UGH MY MAN. I knew I would love him and nothing could deter that. He loved Winter down bad. His obsession started the minute he saw her and from then on he was protecting his soul. His trauma and how he thought of himself after it was heartbreaking. His nightmares for it. Broke it. I loved how he realized he wasn’t the monster at all. His love for Winter was actually sick with how it was described. The man quite literally took her last name and couldn’t breathe without even seeing her.
Winter, MY BALLERINA GIRL. I love her so much. She’s the perfect balance of sweet and also will rip your throat out. Her sticking up for herself, but also her man! 10s!! Her love for Tristan was pure. She didn’t feel bad or guilty for loving him because he was her safe place. He was the one who always took care of her and made sure she was protected. Her trauma was just as heartbreaking. I do wish we got more on her healing, however from her inner monologue she wasn’t as traumatized as Tristan was.
The found family in this series is everything. All the couples still being so close and fighting like family members, but ultimately being so loyal to one another is everything. I love how London didn’t ruin any of that for one couple.
I need Sebastian’s book.
I need Benjamin’s and Paris’ book.
I need Elijah and Blair’s book.
For my safety readers, completely safe. Both virgins. My man researched how to properly “eat” for his woman and mentioned multiple times how Winter was the only woman who would ever touch him.
“And I hate that even more, because he’s the best person I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. He’s the only person who has ever truly made me feel safe and cared for”
“Her mouth claims mine this time, and I swear it feels like prayer.”

I have mixed feelings about this one. I enjoyed Tristan and Winter's story so much, they were one of my favorite couples from he beginning, and the story did justice to them in this book.
I loved Tristan's grumpiness with Winter's sweetness. Plus the funny banter between him, Callum, and Hayden! Loved it sm!
The thing I was not a fan of was the time spent on side characters for future series. As much as I cannot wait to read their books, I wanted more of Winter and Tristan in here.🙃

4.75 - 5 stars!
Pucking Unhinged has lived rent free in my head since I finished it 24 hours ago. I’ve waited for Tristan and Winter’s story and my expectations were high. London wrote these two with so much passion, longing, chemistry and heat that I desperately wanted their story to continue forever.
Tristan and Winter have shared trauma and have been through some dark situations but the one constant was their bond. Their connection is unbreakable. Tristan would burn the world down before anyone laid a finger on his girl. Winter would never dream of leaving Tristan’s side even in the most chaotic of moments.
Tristan is haunted by what happened one night with Winter and thinks he doesn’t deserve her but that also doesn’t stop him from protecting and claiming her.
Tristan needs Winter in all the ways and his fantasies play over and over in his head. He has tried to keep his sensual distance from her but it won’t be much longer before the dam breaks and they’ll burn. Because Winter needs Tristan just as much.
When Tristan gets a lead on who orchestrated the attack on them, all bets are off. Tristan will do just about anything to bring these criminals to justice.
Tristan and Winter have quite a lot to sift through for their HEA. I loved Tristan’s quiet dominance and his absolute devotion to Winter and her pleasure and happiness. Winter’s loyalty and total trust in Tristan was sexy as hell. The two of them were such a power couple.
I loved this story. I loved the build up, the slow-ish burn, the heat when it hits, our beloved characters from past books(who were freaking hilarious), the action and suspense plot and most of all the story of two souls that felt like they were one!
London you outdid yourself with this story and I can’t wait for more characters!! I loved Tristan and Winter.

“Mine,” he rasps sleepily, pressing his face to the thin nightshirt covering my breasts. “Say it, dushen'ka. Tell me who you belong to.” His breathing is steadier when I answer, and I know he’s asleep before he can hear the words that I mean with my whole heart.
“I will always, without question, belong to only you.”
Tristan needs Winter in all the ways and his fantasies play over and over in his head. He has tried to keep his sensual distance from her but it won’t be much longer before the dam breaks and they’ll burn. Because Winter needs Tristan just as much.
“You have no idea what you mean to me,” I rasp against her lips, forehead pressed to hers. My voice breaks, raw. “I can’t find the words to describe it. How do you describe something so fucking earth-shattering that you know no one else has ever experienced this deeply? There isn’t a word for it.” She cups my jaw, eyes glassy and wild just for me.
“I don’t need the words. I just need you, Tristan.”

”Dushen’ka you are my heart, and certainly my entire soul.”
From the very beginning I knew I wanted Tristan and Winter’s story. The angst, the tension, the trauma — GUTWRENCHING YET EXCITING ASF.
The amount of pain both my babies went through I’m surprised they didn’t fully enter their villain era. I love a mmc that doesn’t play about his women. Their love was so beautifully written. I wish we dug more into her personal trauma more, however I can see why we didn’t because we were alluded to the result that Tristan and his love for her healed her in impeccable ways.
This friend group is so chaotic tho and the ending was sooo good! I’m glad that in the end everyone felt what they deserved which is nothing short of happiness🤍
THANK YOU TO LONDON AND SMUTHOOD ARCS FOR THE ARC COPY🥹

Holy devotion that was delicious! I was so curious about Tristan and Winter’s story since meeting them in the first book. And it did not disappoint! These two are completely co-dependent and equally obsessed with each other. Other people don’t exist in their world. Unhealthy? Yes. Delicious to read about? Also yes :-)
The main ‘drama’ was solved quickly and easily, that could’ve been an bit more detailed / extensive…but I mean I was mainly here for the romance and spice and we got tons of that ;-)
All in all I devoured this book with all the OTT-ness and can’t wait for the next book by this author!
Safety:
- No OW/OM. Both virgins both only been with each other.
- No cheating
- No separation (are you kidding? Tristan wants to attach Winter to his body 😅)
- Forced sex first time between MCs by villain.

The way this book was hyped up only to be disappointing in the end. We get to read about future stories taking away from the MCs.
October 2, 2025
I think my least favorite thing about this series are the guys on the covers. None of them match the actual characters in my mind and the pictures are way too dark to really see anything.
This one was definitely 4 stars. Probably my favorite one in the series. I had been waiting for this one since we were introduced to these two in the first book. Their codependency didn’t disappoint. I love a good codependent couple. Also Winter was hands down my favorite FMC out of all of them. And while I did like Tristan’s intensity there was just something about Callum that called to me more.
Anyway this book was very relationship centered which didn’t bug me at all. Sometimes I hate when it’s all plot and the plot can easily ruin the book when it’s not good. I loved these two together. They just fit so well and I loved how Winter was able to calm him down.
Now with that being said I did find this one to be a bit boring. I felt like it took a little to get into it and then it got good but then the conflict was resolved so early in the book I was like okay what’s left for the last hour and a half of the book? Nothing really but a set up for the next series. Which I did like to read about because I’m always interested in new couples but it was a bit of a snooze fest after a while. Once the conflict was over the book just seemed riddled with sex scenes. I will admit I skimmed a good portion after 80%. The interactions with the guys was probably my favorite part of this book.
So yeah, definitely interested in the next series with the triplets and their love interests. I also hope we get Sebastian’s book soon!! Also patiently waiting for the coaches book to come out. I am super bummed Ramseys book isn’t going to be written by this author. I trust this author to be safe and have obsessive and possessive MMCs. I’m not sure if the person writing Ramseys book will be the same so I’ll have to wait for reviews on that one.
NO CHEATING
NO OP DRAMA (Tristan is just super possessive)
NO THIRD ACT BREAK UP
FOSTER SIBLINGS
PAST SA (MMC was forced to hurt FMC by a bad guy, FMC doesn’t blame MMC or hate him for it)
NOT COUNTING SA BOTH WERE/ARE VIRGINS
MURDER
HEA

I've been waiting to read Tristan and Winter's book for so long. And although, it was shorter than the other two with much less drama and action but I still loved it and devoured it in a few hours.
It was wonderful reading about the couples from previous books.
Hayden and his bout of OTT reactions whenever a girl approaches him: DON'T TALK TO ME, I HAVE A WIFE!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love him!!!
And Hayden and Callum's non stop bickering. Not to mention Lilac's teasing about Hayden still being upset that Callum's son might end up with Hayden's daughter is PRICELESS!!!!
The teasing, the bantering, the bickering between the boys.
The love, the devotion, the obsession between the MCs just regulate my heartbeats, lower my blood pressure and bring me peace to my heart.
This series is absolutely everything. I love it. I love them. I want more of them. And can't wait for their offsprings' series, it's going to be CATACLYSMIC!!!!!!!

It was wonderful reading about the couples from previous books.
Hayden and his bout of OTT reactions whenever a girl approaches him: DON'T TALK TO ME, I HAVE A WIFE!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love him!!!
And Hayden and Callum's non stop bickering. Not to mention Lilac's teasing about Hayden still being upset that Callum's son might end up with Hayden's daughter is PRICELESS!!!!
The teasing, the bantering, the bickering between the boys.
The love, the devotion, the obsession between the MCs just regulate my heartbeats, lower my blood pressure and bring me peace to my heart.
This series is absolutely everything. I love it. I love them. I want more of them. And can't wait for their offsprings' series, it's going to be CATACLYSMIC!!!!!!!

I love Tristan and Winter so much! They’re my favorite couple from the whole series. Tristan is just Perfect, like he’s broody, but he’s sweet with her only! he’s Obsessed obviously. But he also respect her a lot and he just wants to protect her.
I love the way to their love has been growing over the years, It wasn’t like insta lust, or insta love. It was very Beautiful and it was so hot! I mean that hotel room scene when they finally snap 😮💨❤️🔥.
I Love It, I Enjoy reading this book so much. It was so Happy to be part of the arc team for the last two books because I was obsessed since the first chapter of Hayden book! I like the first two books so much! But this one is my favorite! ❤️

First I’d like to say thank you to The Smuthood and London Snow for the opportunity to read this ARC. Willow and Tristan are foster siblings so we get that taboo relationship from the start. They are trauma bound and can’t live without the other. The protectiveness Tristan has over Willow is something to swoon over. And I love how Willow is the only one who can calm Tristan down, it shows how much they both lean on each other.

Desde que leí la primera historia queria leer a esta pareja, me daba mucha curiosidad al saber que ella preferia morir por la mano de Tristan a dejar que le hicieran algo. Y finalmente llegó el libro y mis ansias terminaron.
M encantó leerlos y quede sorprendida de los codependientes que son uno del otro, pero eso funciona para ellos. Muestran un amor infinito el uno del otro y me encantó la participación de los otros personajes en la historia, de los trillizos y me hibiera gustado leer a Caiden (espero que tenga su historia).
Que más puedo decir, solo que espero que algun día alguien me ame como Tristan ama a Winter.
Otro plus, es que me gustó la escritura de la autora y como diseña a los personajes (sobre todo a los masculinos) y se siente un poco fresco a la mayoria de construción de personajes que existen ahora en los libros gracias a Tik tok.
Muchas gracias por el Arc a The Smoothood y a la autora London Snow. 🥰🫶

scorching hot
Absolutely unhinged, but I loved it! Hero is utterly insane for the heroine. Has eyes only for her, never ever even looks at another girl
There is some triggers in this one, hero was forced to assault heroine by villains but its off page and hero is tormented by it.
Safe. Dual virgins, they belong only to each other. No cheating or abuse (between MCs). On page violence and murder. HEA but no extended epilogue, even tho series is continuing. No babies

Loved it. Glad we finally got the full story of Tristan and Winter that we’ve been getting pieces of for the last two books. But their story was completed just after the halfway mark. Sadly this probably could have been a novella. Once Tristan’s father is killed nothing else really happens except the two of them just living their life.

This was a quick and easy read, but I unfortunately think this was executed a bit poorly and I didn’t enjoy it much. I will say I was intrigued in the beginning, but I was left disappointed by the end for multiple reasons.
The plot
I liked the quick start of the book, but at some point I felt like a lot of the topics that were centered in the book had happened way back and I felt like I’d missed a lot of important events and the beginning of Tristan and Winters relationship. I also think the book at some point became so predictable that it got boring. The twists didn’t seem to be a big deal, I couldn’t find a buildup in the pacing, and I’m not sure I saw the point of everything happening.
The characters
I’m sorry to say I didn’t like most of the characters here. Winter is a strong survivor, sure, but she fell kind of flat to me. She doesn’t seem to get a lot of character development besides getting in a relationship with Tristan and putting aside her reservations for said relationship (and the same goes for Tristan here). When it comes to Tristan, I don’t find him particularly likable; yes, this is supposed to be a grumpy x sunshine obviously, but there’s a line between grumpy and plain rude. It’s bordering on childish when he’s possessive to the point where he wants to punch someone for just looking at her. He’s in school, he’s not getting away with murdering someone on the basis of ‘they looked at my girlfriend’.
When it comes to the bond between these two, I think I just might be a bit more fond of a real slow burn in romance books. They have an instant bond (which, again, is there from the start because their beginning isn’t included in any way in the book aside from mentions of when they met) and I feel like I haven’t experienced the forming of their relationship that much, outside of the physical changes to it. They’re obsessed with each other from the beginning and it leaves no anticipation for what direction their relationship will take or how it will happen.
Another thing when it comes to these two is that it feels like some of the really dramatic scenes happening in the book are completely forgotten like they’ve left no impact on their mental health whatsoever, which seems unrealistic; you can’t witness a murder one day and be fine the next. They’re open about their traumatic past, rightfully so, but I wish we saw more of their coping of all the stuff happening in the book as well.
I fully realize a lot of what I don’t like in this book is listed as reasons you’ll like it - instant and exclusive bond, touch her and die, broody mmc ++ - but as I received the arc I still want to be honest and truthful with my review. I’ve tried it and simply realized it wasn’t for me.
Thank you to the publisher for receiving this arc.

I went through this book and I didn’t expect much I just wanted a fun time aka a pallet cleanser . I wasn’t expecting the greatest plot or anything just something fun with good MMC .
So It was great at first an obbessed MMC that would do anything for her. great right? but the main characters inner monologue and their conversation felt repetitive and boring as hell . Also are we gonna talk about their first time ? Cause I was like pregnancy and babies are responsibilities yk? And what about his excuse not to use protection ew brother . Also the FMC’s trauma was overlooked like she would say ‘I won’t forget about that night blah blah ..’ but that was only when she sees the MMC having nightmares but do we see her struggle do we see her get triggered or anything and that’s lead us to another point this book felt like reading tropes and tropes and what is TikTok is talking about right now . It was like bows + hockey players + ballerinas ( idk why hockey players and ballerinas are a thing right now ; No hate to the books with his trope really I don’t have anything against the trope I think it can be great if written well ) + motorcycles + “ unhinged possive males “ . They were kinda of thrown together each of them was mentioned once or twice just for the sake of it .
Finally this book unfortunately wasn’t for me and no hate for the author or anything .

Why did I wait so long to read this! 🤦🏻♀️ lol
Winter ❤️ Tristan
If you read the other books in the series these two have shown up consistently and their story was worth the wait.
If you love a fully obsessed OTT MMC and equally obsessed FMC, this is for you! These two have only EVER seen each other.
Take from the Author’s Notes:
Romantic Suspense Unhinged & Obsessed
Forbidden/Foster siblings (she was fostered by his parents)
Instant and exclusive bond
Both have traumatic background
Touch her and die/Burn the world for her
Trauma bonded main characters
He licks her tears
Each other’s first & only
He can’t sleep without her
He hurt her to protect her from someone else
She’s the only one who can calm him down
He braids her hair every morning
Moody broody goalie/ballerina
He panics if he can’t find her
He doesn’t care about anyone except for her
The first kiss is a big deal
MMC Tracker (with her knowledge)
Cock warming
So much praise
Breeding (with a twist lol and no pregnancy)
Broken MMC/sweet & strong FMC
She’s as protective of him as he is of her
Found family vibes Banter between teammates
She has THE BEST friends
Bilingual FMC (Russian & English)
He’s an identical twin & she’s the only one who can tell them apart
He learns Russian so he can speak to her privately in front of others
No third act break up
No OWD/no OMD
Mutual longing/yearning
Dual POV; HEA engagement in epilogue. He legally takes her name
Introduction of characters for future stories.
Enjoy!! 🥰

Back in my Obsessed and completely unhinged MMC era with this one! Tristan is literally single minded and his only thought is Winter. Keeping Winter safe, protecting Winter, not letting anyone even look at Winter....You see where this is going
Winter however is just as obsessed with Tristan if you can believe that. Shes not quite as single minded about her obsession, and obviously not caveman like in her approach, but do not let that fool you, shes only got eyes for him.
Winter & Tristan are foster siblings who trauma bond over a really messed up shared experience that happens when they are younger teens. From then on, they both have really bad night terrors and the only thing that can soothe them is each other. Tristan tries to act like a martyr for the beginning of the book, but eventually he gives in.
While I did really like this book, there were some plot holes and lack of urgency/consequences that threw things off for me. I also was super annoyed with the men in the friend group constantly being over the top with each other. Obviously it didnt impact my rating, cause the book was still enjoyable..I could just do with a little less interaction from them.

Pucking Unhinged is a dark, emotional, and addictive college romance that dives deep into forbidden love, obsession, and healing. London Snow delivers a story that’s as angsty as it is tender, keeping readers glued to every page.
Winter, a graceful ballerina carrying her own scars, collides with Tristan, a fierce and relentless college hockey player. Bound together as foster siblings, their connection is as dangerous as it is undeniable. The forbidden tension simmers until it finally explodes into a love that feels both destructive and soul-saving. Their trauma bonds them, but it’s Tristan’s unshakable devotion—his “touch her and die” intensity and the way he can’t sleep without her—that makes their romance both heartbreaking and unforgettable.
With the perfect mix of forbidden longing, raw vulnerability, and protective obsession, Pucking Unhinged is more than just a sports romance—it’s a story about finding light in the darkest corners. Fans of angsty, high-stakes love stories will devour this one and ache for more.

4.5/5
Tristan Vale & Winter LeBlanc... I feel I’ve never read a book where two characters are so trauma bound to one another, but I have to say London did an amazing job of really articulating it well and creating a beautiful story for both of the characters.
I love an obsessed MMC and that’s exactly what Tristan was. Completely besotted and did not have time for other people in his life - his world was Winter completely and I loved it!!! It was so sweet throughout the book as you learnt more about the reason why they formed such a bond but as you see into Tristan’s mind through diary entries you find out exactly how he has been feeling towards Winter since the first day they met and it melts your heart.
Finally, the way the book was written between chapters was great as it flowed really well and didn’t even feel like the story was ending, I liked the little taster for the Christmas books so I can’t wait for the next of London’s books!!!
Thankful to London for selecting my for an ARC review!!! 🥰
Would I recommend this book? YES

Severely disappointed in this book.
It felt like it wasn’t really about Winter and Tristan and more about building a world for the next characters in the series.
Pretty upsetting considering I’ve been waiting months for this one to come out. I loved Winter and Tristan and was so excited to finally read their story. It had so much potential but instead it feels like a novella or like an unfinished story. One of the biggest issues was that it lacked transitions between scenes. Everything just happens. We don’t see the characters moving through the story but rather showing up to a scene.
We also don’t really see the chemistry of Tristan and Winter together after they have sex. There was so much tension at the beginning but then it all just disappears after they have sex. If that tension had stayed after the sex it would have been perfect and fit their relationship so well!! It feels like the author got bored with writing their relationship and started setting up the characters and plot for the next book.
Overall, would not recommend. The story felt very bland, boring, and short.

Spice: 2/5 🌶️
Characters: Tristan and Winter
This was my first time reading from this author. I do think it might have been better if I had read the other books in the series beforehand, but I wasn’t lost or confused at any point. I just feel like it might have endeared me to them more.
I adored Tristan and Winter together. It’s clear that they are each other’s person. They share a bond that is undeniable and a bit codependent. I loved how strong Winter is and how Tristan was only soft for her, she calmed him. They go through a lot to end up together but we get to see them together and more settled for a lot of it. I think that might have been an area that didn’t quite work for me, it felt like we get a lot of them together after the conflict is wrapped up and I found my attention dipping a little bit.
I do plan to go back and read the other books in the series.

What an amazing story!!!!
Tristan is clearly obsessed with his foster sister but he's very careful and sweet in a good way.
Winter is trying to settle down with her new family but it feels hard to being comfortable around her foster father.
Tristan and Winter are trying to heal from a car accident but they're really helping eachother with their needs and feelings for eachother....
I also like to read how Tristan's developing himself and how he's trying to be a good boyfriend for her.
I like the writing style too! It seems as if I feel like a part of the story too haha!
Tristan is clearly obsessed with his foster sister but he's very careful and sweet in a good way.
Winter is trying to settle down with her new family but it feels hard to being comfortable around her foster father.
Tristan and Winter are trying to heal from a car accident but they're really helping eachother with their needs and feelings for eachother....
