This is my team. I’ve worked my tail off to be the captain of it, and I’m a quietly gay omega. No one needs to know my sexuality, which is why I work harder than anyone to play hockey.
If I’m honest, this is my true identity and love. Omegas tend to be smaller, less muscle dense, and I was devastated when I came into my designation. My father was the one who encouraged me, went to every game, until he died last year.
Now there are two alphas that have joined The Lakeview Cougars and they refuse to leave me alone. They’re stalking me, forcing me to my knees in the locker room, and what’s worse is I love it.
I feel like I’m losing my mind. They’re willing to take everything from me unless I admit that I’m theirs.
But you know what? Puck them.
This is a dark hockey MMM omegaverse with no mpreg.
This was a pleasant surprise! We actually see from the alphas pov a lot so we got to know why they did stuff as opposed to it being secretive as the blurb made me think. The Alphas were actually green flags, but the red flags did get revealed as time went by. I didn't feel it was that toxic tho (Chat, am I cooked?). It's spicy & fun, K was being hard to get but it isn't high angst. I wanted more from last ch & epilogue tho! I'm glad we'll see trio in series background. This was a good solo MMM starter!
Some of this goes way beyond dark romance, and veers into being downright horror for me. I was able to get past the bit where the alphas kill somebody for drugging their omega, and some of the spicy scenes were great. But the romanticising of them tying Koen to a bed and then forcible sucking him off was too much. I thought that some of the more toxic elements would be addressed when Koen discovered that Rhodes and Skylar had deliberately trashed his apartment. But when he rejected them and ran away their response was to sedate him, kidnap him, and tie him to another bed.
I had to skip over the part where they have sex altogether while the coach they are in the process of murdering is dying, because that was just too much of an ick.
The writing is good, and I read the whole book (apart from the sex-while-murdering scene) as I wanted to know how the story would unfold. But there is just too much non-consent, toxicity, and violence for this to work for me as a romance
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I absolutely loved this story. It is full of hockey, MM action, morally grey to black activities, adorable animals and a man finally acknowledging his omega nature.
Koen is a very talented Omega hockey player. He is known as The Viking Captain as he throws himself into everything for his team to prove that designation and stature do not disqualify you. One coach told him years ago to give up or he would end up being a victim to the Alpha players and this always stayed with him.
Rhodes and Skylar are a couple who had been playing for a rival team until a random charity even had them crossing paths with their scent matched Omega....unfortunately he doesn't realize this due to the scent blocker he wears (gotta make sure not to become a victim). Good thing these guys were looking to be traded and knew exactly where to go.
Rhodes and Skylar have this fantastic Daddy and his Brat relationship going on and the way Koen fits into it is perfection. These two men will stop at nothing to ensure the safety if their Omega and weather or not it is legal doesn't really matter. Their process is absolutely unhinged in the best ways.
The spice in this is pleasure, punishment, and discovery all rolled into one. The big punishment scene was so freaking hot. The heat scene was done with on my their Omegas comfort and safety in mind.
Jenn brought these guys to life and fit all their dented and unhinged pieces together to create the most beautiful picture. I can't wait to see what's next.
I knew I was going to enjoy this book when I saw that was doing a hockey MMM book. I’m such a fan of MM+ books because they’re so good in my opinion. Besides, I’ve loved every single one of her books and have been addicted to her writing since I read Beg For It.
I felt for Koen is definitely one of the best omegas I have read in a hot minute. That prologue made me want to hug him because that little moment truly made his prospective of being on a hockey team truly changed. I was so happy that later in the book that Rhodes and Skylar gave him that revenge he needed.
First off, I love me a hot lingerie alpha and man, Rhodes takes the cake for that one. I knew he was going to be my favorite just from his first chapter.
These two alphas are so unhinged for their omega, who doesn’t even know he’s their scent matches because he puts a certain blocker under his nose to hide the smell of alphas. These two start by getting a trade to Koen’s team and heck, they even go as far as making his apartment flood. How convenient, boys!
This book is just so perfect. It has the right amount of unhinged crazy over the top alphas but then they have the cutest moments. They are so cute with their puppy. Magic Nugget gets changed to Princess Sunny, which fits her personality because she is wrapped around all of their fingers, especially Rhodes. Haha. He’s whipped.
When Koen finds out what these guys did, man, it was so emotional and well, if you know Jenn, she makes these guys so unhinged they are not letting their omega go without a fight! And ugh, the ending had me in my feelings for sure.
I cannot wait for the next book in this series because yes, please! I need more.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.
This MMM hockey omegaverse was absolutely delicious. Full of morally grey (and sometimes questionable) situations, I ate this up. The spice was definitely spicing the whole way through (which I loved- I'm definitely a fast burn girlie). In addition to being steamy, this was also angsty and emotional. Jenn Bullard always knows how to play with our emotions. Koen, Rhodes, and Skylar definitely stole my heart and I hope to see many cameos of them in future books!
I read this in one sitting. I physically could not put it down lmao. Such a fun and addictive story. I cannot wait for more books in this series to come out!!!
"Dark Romance" my ass... There was no connection just a whole lot of sex and "kidnapping" but honestly wish there as a better plot no to mention the whole thing about how he was warned from the Coach and he made a big thing of it and then the poor couch got killed for looking out for the teenager.
This was pretty intense! If you love dark omegaverse romances and your alphas being ‘extra’ in every way: extra possessive, extra protective, extra… well, everything, you’ll love this! Rhodes and Skylar seem to dial everything up to extreme while trying to claim Koen, going in full guns a blazing; these psycho alphas do not do anything half-arsed! Honestly, Koen never stood a chance at keeping his distance from these two (say goodbye to your personal space, Koen!).
Going too far seems like an understatement for Rhodes and Skylar. And they have no qualms at all about handling things violently if there’s any sign of danger; any little slight against their omega sends them into hunting mode. Luckily, they have plenty of ropes and zip ties on hand for all their fave activities (yes, of course, I mean for spicy times too!).
Rhodes was my definite favourite. I loved how he’s so unapologetically himself: a 6ft6 alpha goalie who loves to primp so he can both look AND feel good and that he’s a massive brat. He’s a big, colourful personality, and I couldn’t get enough of his outrageousness.
Skylar will go to the ends of the earth to protect his alpha and his omega. He’s a daddy who loves to punish his two brats. I loved seeing the rarer softer side of Skylar after all the aggressive pursuing of Koen.
And Koen, well, he’s portrayed as a grump but it’s more to protect himself that anything else. Known as the ‘tattooed Viking’, I loved the role he plays on the hockey team, especially that he’s an omega captain. He pushes back initially due to his distrust of alphas, but I really respected the fact that he doesn’t want to lose himself and his freedom as part of a pack. He’s a fighter in his own way; feisty and obstinate, he’s definitely a “gremlin omega” as Skylar affectionately calls him.
I adored how supportive and loyal the team are of Koen – one of the few omegas in hockey – and how they look out for him in so many ways, even if he’s unaware. There’s some great detailed hockey scenes in this (not that I’m an expert being in the UK, but I enjoyed them).
As a dog mum of a golden retriever, I also very much appreciated the adorable puppy in this and loved how she brought out the softer sides of these alphas, who can, without a doubt, be incredibly OTT at times.
There’s some injections of humour in this that made me snort with laughter, as well as plenty of spice with degradation, praise and feminisation.
I don’t think I’ve read another omegaverse MM/MM+ hockey romance like this one.
----
Some of my favourite quotes
Hope you’re ready for us, Koen. We play for keeps.
“It’s no secret that Koen is bat shit crazy.” “Ugh, I am not. My mental health is rock solid, fuck you very much.”
Don’t run, Little Omega. We enjoy the chase.
I’m willing to burn the world down for my omega, and I know Skylar feels the exact same way.
“I need you to understand there is no line we won’t cross for you. The second we saw you in Los Angeles, it’s like our brains were rewired.”
“You can be as stubborn as you want, but I know you love us. I also know you feel betrayed. You were never some fucked up game, Little Viking. You’re simply ours, and to belong to us is all-consuming.”
“I’ll always be yours. Scent matching isn’t everything. My soul recognizes yours, and I’m never going away.”
“Look, Rhodes and I are not perfect, and we don’t pretend to be. However, you’ll be safe with us.”

Koan is an Omega hockey player known as "The Viking Captain" because he throws himself head-on into every fight to prove his designation and stature doesn’t define him. At a charity event, he catches the eyes of Rhodes and Skylar, who immediately recognise him as their scent match. However, Koan has no idea because he uses Alpha pheromone suppressant creams to ensure he isn’t influenced by Alphas on or off the ice. Rhodes and Skylar will go to any lengths in order to bring Koan into their pack, even if that includes a lot of rope or some handcuffs!
Jenn Bullard has officially nailed her solo venture into MM+ omegaverse, and honestly, she can do no wrong in my eyes! Puck Them is a fabulous, high-heat Lakeview Cougars Hockey series that didn’t disappoint for a second.
The possessiveness between Rhodes and Skylar is top-tier. Their antics are brilliant—yes, they’re a bit devious, underhanded, and waving more than a few red flags—but they are just so scrummy! I’ve always had a soft spot for those unapologetic characters who go after exactly what they want without saying sorry for it. Their daddy/brat/sub dynamic is incredibly hot, and adding Koan to the pack only turned the heat up further.
My heart really went out to Koan. Between the pressure of his designation and the disgraceful things his coach said to him at such a young age, you really feel for his need to constantly prove himself, with the anxiety and trust issues he has within his beloved sport. Seeing him realize he actually has a wonderful found family within his hockey team was so touching and I loved how Rhodes and Skylar give Koan his power back.
This book is the perfect mix: I swooned, I laughed, and I definitely had to fan myself through the spicy bits. Skylar and Rhodes encapsulate everything I love—fun, loving, and highly protective with a wonderful side of crazy. I’m already buzzing for the next books in this series!
Whatthefkdoyoumeanthisbooksisover? I did not consent to this. Hello? I need more.
I am absolutely 100% not ready to move on.
To say that I love these psychos would be an understatement. An UNDERSTATEMENT.
This story was absolutely crazy in the best way possible. Our Little Viking hockey badass captain 😎 totally owns two of the most psychotic Alpha's in the League... and I am here for it.
Sky and Ro are so unhinged OMG, YESSS, PLEASE. They are absolutely my kind of unhinged and I love them so freaking much. The way they barged into Koen's life once they found out they're scented mates had me giggling and kicking my feet. No one, and I mean NO ONE could've ever come between them and their Little Omega.
The lengths to which they were willing to go for Koen are what won me over. It was disturbing, but also oh, so fitting. Who wouldn't want two mates like these two?
Each one of them is so freaking different and the way they just fit is perfect. I loved how they dotted on Ko every chance they got, and how unapologetic they were about it. "Yes, yes, we know, we are two big strong Alpha's but for our Omega will we burn the world down" kind of energy had me on my knees. This is the type of masculine that I love to see. We need more of that into the world.
And the puppy? Oh, don't even get me started in the puppy cuz I will melt.
The spice in this book is off the charts, OFF THE CHARTS, I'm telling you, and their brand of foreplay is... well, let's just say... something must be wrong with me too...
I can't wait for more books in this series, but omg for real I feel so sad this is over. 😭
This book is about Koen, an omega hockey player who takes no shit, as a kid he was told by a coach to stop playing, that he was too small for it, that he’d just get hurt—especially in the locker room. Koen being the badass that he is refuses to listen, he takes that hate and makes it into something great. This book is also about his two stalker alphas, Rhodes and Skylar. These two sees who they want and they stop at nothing to win him over. But what happens when Koen finds out just how far they’re willing to go?
As usual win Jenn, this book is on the darker side so check your triggers and take care of yourself—you matter!
I loved this book! It’s another full M book by Jenn but this is the first one she publishes/writes on her own. Koen, Rhodes and Skylar stole my heart. They’re so quirky, chaotic, and with such vibrant personalities that you can’t help but love them. The way they just support and accept each other through everything, sports, kinks, stalking… It had my heart singing and I just need more!
I really don’t go for sports books but I just couldn’t put this down. The game scenes had me hooked to the point of it making me want to get a ticket to the boy aquarium to watch one for myself. It’s infuriating how much Jenn makes me want to watch sports!
Anyhow, I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone who reads omegaverse, doesn’t matter if you’re a sports fan or not—though if you’re anything like me you’re likely to start looking at getting a ticket to one. I suppose that could be both good and bad. Either way, the book is worth the existential crisis.
I came for the boy aquarium and stayed because Skylar and Rhodes tied me to their bed…..metaphorically of course.
I love a good hockey romance. Add in MMM and Omegaverse and I’m a very happy reader.
This book featured some amazing characters that were so unapologetically themselves. I loved that Koen’s Alphas were strong and dominant, but also soft and unique in ways that were new to me, though not new to the MM romance genre. I looooove a good manly corset, but my heart was unprepared for Rhodes in pretty panties. The dichotomy of a powerful Alpha in a lace thong fried my brain in a very good way. Koen, Skylar, and Rhodes were rich and interesting characters and I loved getting to watch the give and take of dominance between them.
If you are new to Jenn Bullard’s books, please know that the trigger warning list is not decorative. Beyond the usual Jenn Bullard flare for giving the bad guys what’s coming to them (inappropriate use of a pipe and appropriate use of finger screws), this story deals with themes of homophobia, abuse of privacy, and emotional abuse of minors by adults. This for sure is dark for a hockey romance, so please review the very thoughtful and comprehensive list of triggers and tropes before you read.
Along with the heavy though, you’ll get some sexy, unhinged, over the top fun with these guys. I’m very excited to see how they grow together while we explore the stories of other characters in this series.
Trope: Lingerie • Fear and exploration of consent • “Touch them and d!e” protectiveness • Emergency heat • Rejected alpha • Snowed-in scenarios • One bed
Holy heck, Rhodes and Skyler are intense and soooo freaking 🔥🔥🔥 You wouldn’t think that Rhodes is an Alpha who is 100% just himself and doesn’t give a care in the world what people think of him. I love how he can be just him and Sky loves that for them. Then they meet Koen who is a unmated Omega who is the Captain of his Hockey team and isn’t scared to jump into a fight. I loved how over protective Sky and Rhodes was of Koen. This story was just straight out amazing, and I absolutely ATE it up.
it was just straight up amazing.
Favorite Quotes: Rhodes always manages to test the patience of a saint, but fortunately I’m not one. My 🍆 swells with desire, testing the limits of my sweats instead as he sashays into the room. He’s wearing a pair of platform heeled boots that go over his knees, a black zip up fishnet vest top with buckles, and a thigh harness.
“I have no time for tears, Dan,” Rhodes sneers. “How does it feel to know my omega will c*me to your dE@th rattle?”
“Because you know you want to be our sour patch sl*t,” I reply.
Puck Them was AMAZING!! It's a fun addictive Omegaverse hockey romance!

The Viking and His Alphas 🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥
Koen, Rhodes, and Skylar are a chaotic, intense trio in the best way, and their dynamic pulled me in immediately. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Koen’s determination to prove himself on the ice, paired with Rhodes and Skylar’s fierce protectiveness, creates a dynamic that’s equal parts emotional and unhinged in the best way.
Their story blends tension, humor, found family, and heavier themes with a pace that never slows down. Koen’s struggles in the hockey world adds real heart, and watching him find people who truly support him was incredibly satisfying. Rhodes and Skylar are bold, dramatic, and completely themselves, and the way they show up for Koen made this pack so easy to root for.
Jenn has written another great addicting story I couldn't put down!!
It's a great start to a new Omegaverse hockey series. I can't wait for the next book!!
Ok… let’s get one thing straight—this is not a slow burn. This book comes in hot and does not let up. 🔥
Koen is a grumpy, touch-starved omega hockey player who’s been holding himself together for far too long…and Skylar and Rhodes? They walk in fully aware of what they want and have zero intention of pretending otherwise.
The tension isn’t drawn out, it’s immediate, thick, and unapologetic. From the start, the chemistry is intense, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. Skylar and Rhodes bring that dominant, growly energy, and the way they focus on Koen? Whew. It’s confident, consuming, and leaves absolutely no room for doubt.
What I loved most is that the connection builds fast but still feels earned. It’s passionate, a little overwhelming (in the best way), and packed with moments that are bold, charged, and seriously addictive.
And even with all that heat, you still get the emotional depth. Watching the pack come together through the chaos, tension, and vulnerability made everything hit that much harder.
This book is spicy, intense, and completely consuming from beginning to end and I am absolutely not ready to let these characters go, I can not wait to see them again in future books!
I have read and loved many if Jenn Bullard's books in the past, but I found this particular book hard to connect with. I loved the MMM hockey aspect of it and even tossing in the omegaverse theme gave it a unique flare. But what I could not wrap my head around was the purpose of having two of the three hockey player MMCs, regardless of them being alphas, so comfortable with eliminating and kidnapping people with no concern at all. Like I get both of them had a rough childhood but to make the story feel more realistic I would have loved to see more backstory as to WHY they were that way. Are all alphas in this world the same or just these two? Are the next books going to have characters with the same darkness? The darkness felt off with the baseline of the story. I get that it's fiction but without more of a backstory of the why, I felt like I was reading two different story themes forced into a single book. Some parts didn't seem relevant or complementary to the story overall, while other parts felt off and unrealistic. Professional hockey players able to just skip practices and games at random when they wanted to? Strange. With that said, I still LOOOOVE Jenn Bullard and will continue to read every one of her stories! This particular one just wasn't my cup of tea.
This book is an intense and addictive dark hockey romance that combines emotional vulnerability, power dynamics, and obsessive chemistry in a way that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The main character’s struggle to balance being the respected captain of his hockey team while hiding his identity as a gay omega adds a lot of depth to the story. His love for hockey and the pressure to prove himself in such a physically demanding environment makes his journey feel emotional and believable.
The two alphas bring a possessive and chaotic energy that completely changes his world, creating a relationship full of tension, dominance, and undeniable attraction. Their interactions are dark, messy, and incredibly spicy, but underneath all of it is a story about acceptance, grief, and learning to stop hiding who you are. The hockey setting adds even more intensity to the plot, especially with the competitiveness and locker-room atmosphere.
If you enjoy dark MMM romance, omegaverse stories with strong alpha/omega dynamics, possessive love interests, and emotional angst mixed with steamy scenes, this book is definitely worth checking
Jenn Pucking Bullard y'all!! She loves hockey and MM? Let's give MMM hockey omegaverse a go!! She has smashed this one out of the stadium!!
“How unhinged do we want to go?” “That all depends on how hard he fights our scent match”
Koen gets a rough shake from the get-go, and I knew immediately he was going to need some epic and amazing, maybe slightly aggressive, alphas to break through his walls. Rhodes had me within the first two pages!! Daddy Skylar is EVERYTHING! This is the perfect blend of sports romance with Jenn's particular brand of unhinged OV insanity. From beginning to end, the lengths these alphas will go to to claim and keep their omega are 🤌💋. The spice was on fire early on, and it didn't let up! There are moments throughout that hit you in a wide variety of feels. I am beyond excited to see who's story comes next!! I am really hoping for some silver fox Fishman! Jenn is almost unmatched in her ability to pull you into a world and leave you aching for more stories, for ALL the people you've just met.
“Our life is forever. A little flood can’t change that.” “Stalking is simply a compliment. Take it for what it is,” Skylar adds.
Ok first check TW, is not super dark (at least for me) but it does have dark themes and subjects so just beware
Now, I’m fairly new to the omegaverse but I really enjoyed it, the plot was great, fasted paced, the slow burn at first then straight to the heat and damn.. that was a really great written spice.
Love their dynamic the 2 alphas and the omega, one thing that I enjoyed is that Rhodes even tho he’s an alpha he has this submissive sexy, side and its freaking adorable and Koen if he’s not in heat he’s pretty dominant so it was great to see another side of the roles
Skylar and Rhodes relationship was everything the care, the respect for each other, the entire dynamic was great and when they find their scent match and they even switch hockey teams and bought a house with a hidden nest for Koen!!! that was freaking sweet even if they´re unhinged hahaha
Can’t wait for B2
Thank you Jenn for an opportunity to read this arc. This is my honest review
Koen loves to play hockey. He has been working really hard all summer during camp to not only improve his skills but also to prove to others he can play. Koen is the smallest one out there, but he thinks he’s proven his worth. At least, that’s until the coach calls him into his office. Will he be able to prove the coach wrong? Will he be able to keep playing hockey? What will become of his ability to be able to play his favorite sport?
This was a fun start to a new series. I was pulled in from the very start. Every time I had to step away from the story, I could wait to get back to it. The world and character building were very on point. I liked how characters didn’t fit into stereotypical roles that you would normally assume. I can’t wait to see what other stories come out in this series, because I really liked reading this first book.
Read if you like: Omegaverse Hockey Player MMCs MMM Brat/Dom Daddy OTT Obsessed MMCs
Keon does everything he can to prove his worth and value to his team as captain and teammate, putting as much distance as he can between him and his omega designation.
Throw in a surprise meeting with two alphas from a rival team that has his omega instincts coming forward, and he has no clue what he’s gotten himself into.
I knew I was going to love Rhodes and Skylar from their introduction!! Their immediate obsession with Keon strikes and first scent and never wavers.
They turn their lives upside down just to get close to him and when that doesn’t work they turn his life upside down for the chance.
The men are dynamic and have so many layers to them! It was so refreshing to see the different relationships and bonds shape between the men.
The spice was HOT HOT HOT!! It just kept coming!
And hello the ending?! I need another book for them PLEASE!!
A trip to the boy aquarium is always fun! Jenn's first solo MM book was an absolute smash! While not a super dark story there are dark themes and you should always check your triggers, your mental health matters. Koen is a very closed off omega, Rhodes is exuberant and, unapologetically himself, and Skylar is every bit the caretaker and Daddy that Rhodes calls him. On paper these men are straight shooters, good boy hockey players, and PR dreams. The reality is maybe a little different. I love the way Rhodes and Skylar worm their way into Koen's heart and life. I am one hundred percent a fan of the pack using 'accidents' to manipulate the omega into spending time with them under the guise of 'protection' or 'convenience'. Jenn always does a great job of making actions and reactions feel realistic and this book was no exception. I will be recommending this book to anyone looking for a fun new MM hockey romance with good plot and amazing spice.
Oh my my and that takes care of the MMM that is for this book. This is not your average hockey verse nope this is all about Koan and the men he eventually falls in love with but when he first meets them he's a bit standoffish he prefers to take his anger out in the good old-fashioned way of a hockey brawl. Rhodes and Skylar are two of his rifles that see him and decide that is what they want for the rest of their life and the morally Gray awesome people they are they do everything they can to get them they uproot their lives and move to him and become part of his team and will the rest is in the book.
Of all the authors I get to read I have to say Jenn Bullard is probably one of my favorites maybe it's just cuz you know I enjoy that darker side and it's good to see that other people enjoyed it too and there's the boy aquarium cuz that's what everybody dreams of( well this one does at least )
This book was overall a really great read, especially if you’re into intense character dynamics and the whole omegaverse/hockey combo. The main character stood out right away…his drive, his edge on the ice, and the way he’s constantly battling both external expectations and his own fears made him really compelling. The “Viking Captain” persona versus his hidden identity added a lot of depth, and I appreciated how his strength and vulnerability were both explored.
That said, I did find myself getting lost in the storyline at times. There were moments where things felt a little unclear or like I was missing context that I was supposed to already understand. Even going back and rereading certain parts didn’t always clear it up, which pulled me out of the story more than I would have liked.
Still, the chemistry, tension, and emotional stakes kept me hooked, and I enjoyed the ride overall. Definitely worth the read, just be prepared for a few confusing spots along the way.
Puck Them is a poly omegaverse (no mpreg) hockey romance between alphas Skyler and Rhodes, who find their scent match in the omega Koen from a rival team. However Koen is resistant to being theirs, and the story follows the couple as they do everything possible to get Koen to realize he belongs with them.
I loved the dynamic between Skyler, Rhodes and Koen. It was a new take to start with a longstanding existing alpha couple (Skyler and Rhodes), and having them add the third to their relationship. Also really loved the light Daddy/BSDM themes throughout. Though Puck Them is labelled as a dark romance, personally I found it a bite more grey, but please do read the trigger warnings as everyone has different comfort levels with this type of story.
Overall a very strong start to what I'm confident will be a great series!
If you like your hockey romance on the darker side then this is the book for you, it’s dark and sinful with some sweet moments throughout. Rhodes & Skylar are two alphas who will stop at nothing to get their scent match to give them a shot. Koen is an omega who is determined he doesn’t need anyone and is especially sure he doesn’t want the two alphas who join his team. I loved that Koen wasn’t an omega who was small and relied on alphas to fight his battles but I did love when he started allowing Rhodes & Skylar to see who he really is and help him win his battles. I loved that Rhodes is unapologetically himself and won’t let anyone bring him down. Skylar gives serious “Daddy” vibes and loves to show his affection by taking care of those he loves. Such a great read!
Dark Omegaverse?MM!! Yes please!! When I received the ARC I can’t tell you how excited I got. The story of Kohen, Skylar, and Rhodes to me was about finding your safety and belonging with persons even when they might not be deemed safe by the world. The way they went about things might not have been the most conventional one, but I agree with Skyler when he says at least it got things done. The way that Kohen was so closed off and scared because of his past made Skylar and Rhodes even more perfect for each other. Skylar was my favorite one he had the DADDY vibe and he would take charge without being overbearing to me. Rhodes despite being big and intimidating was a marshmallow for Kohen and that was everything!! I give this book 5⭐️ and 4🌶️❤️
Great read!!! Definitely not as dark as most of Jenn’s books but definitely has some dark themes and some content that some readers may be sensitive to so be sure to check the TWs.
This was deliciously spicy, a bit red flaggish (in the best ways)…. Ok a lot 🚩 and had some really funny moments. Well written and hard to put down. These Alphas will do anything to get the attention of their Omega and keep him….
No cheating, no OMD, tried to leave but failed… so no breakup 😏 with HFN…. Because we’ll be seeing more of this pack in future books in this new series!! Can’t wait for more!!!!
‘Rhodes is a bad@ss alpha, but he’s also a pretty princess that loves his creature comforts.’
“This is just a little pothole in our relationship.”—Skylar
“You’re the gorgeous omega who's going to enjoy our whirlwind grovel,” Skylar says. “I need you to understand there is no line we won’t cross for you. The second we saw you in Los Angeles, it’s like our brains were rewired.”
OV, ice hockey and Jenn Bullard .. a match made in heaven
A new series from Jenn Bullard and to say I've been excited about this would be such a massive understatement.
Jenn has combined some of my favourites to read in a way that only she can.
When you're the captain of your ice hockey team, respected by the team and known for getting into fights and also an omega the last thing you want is to suddenly fin yourself the object of you new team mates obsession.
Rhodes and Skylar recognise Koen as their scent match immediately and move heaven and earth to be with him. They do however have a very unusual idea of how to court him and form a relationship.
You really are not ready for this story so I suggest you just jump in and enjoy.

I really enjoyed this! Koen is such a strong stubborn type, who didn't let being an omega hold him back in his career, but the fear of what could happen to him because of it played such a role that he didn't get close to anyone. Then Rhodes and Skylar came into the picture and took a damn wrecking ball to his entire life! These two alphas know zero boundaries and have no problems getting their hands dirty ( they enjoy it actually 😂)
The story moves quickly and is so engaging! I was just waiting for the blow up and how Rhodes and Skylar would handle it!
