She’s never had an ‘O’.
I’ve never hooked up with a teacher.
I came to this icy hellhole of a college for hockey, for redemption, but what I found was a whole lot better.
Harper Dunham wanted to experience the big O… and I used by my big D to deliver.
I didn’t discover she was my new cultural studies teacher until the following morning, the taste of her still on my lips, her panties in my pocket.
All want is to study those soft lips and sweet curves one more time, but doing so would put both of us in danger. She’s untouchable, forbidden—a smart girl who knows I’m a very bad idea.
But that won’t stop her coming back for more.
Being with her means risking everything.
But f@ck it. When have I ever played by the rules?

Puck Buddies is a steamy, standalone bad boy sports romance. There’s no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.

Puck Buddies by Teagan Kade a five-star read that you will want to score with. Harper Dunham is a little straight laced and uptight in the beginning but she soon loosens up and finds herself not allowing her past to keep her from being who she wants to be. Also temptation is so hard to fight against when it’s in the shape of bad boy Colton. Colton is sexy and hot and so good in all the right ways, but he’s also off limits. They both have situations that need fixing but will they be able to fix each other? This was a great story and so hot it will melt the ice around the story.

This was okay for me. The writing flowed okay, but I did skim a little through the middle. This story didn't grab me like others this author has. Colton and Harper had good chemistry, but I just wasn't a big fan of Colton. He grew up a little as the story progressed, but it was always like he was better than everyone and above everything around him. Yes he was a Beckett, but that doesn't give you an excuse to be a d**k to everyone. Harper was pretty weak for most of the story, she eventually stands up for herself a little, but it was a little late for me. This might just be a "me" thing. Just because it wasn't my favorite doesn't mean someone else can't enjoy it.

OMG Love this book. Have been waiting for this one for a long time.
Colton is basically banished to a small college in Canada because of his antics and temper getting him expelled from his Ivy League college in the US. He is going to be playing hockey her instead of Lacrosse. He meets Harper before he starts classes but then he walks into one class and she is the professor. Talk about forbidden fruit. Harper is trying to figure out how to get through life when her ex, who is a tenured professor, keeps harassing and threatening her. She wants to leave this school and town but doesn't believe that another college would hire her. Colton hates being in Canada and complains about everything except Harper. Things start to get better with the team and Colton but more complicated with Harper because his heart is getting involved. Harper finally tells him they can't continue anymore after her ex has threatened again to ruin her career because she told him she will not get back with him. What will happen when someone (her ex) files a complaint that she is having inappropriate relations with a student and Colton gets called to the Dean's office? Harper knows nothing about this but receives an unexpected email for a job interview to teach in the US? Will she go for the interview? What will Colton do?

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. I really enjoyed the story of Colton and Harper. I think he is my favorite of the Beckett brothers to date. With Mason running a close second. This is a very well written book with believable characters. Colton has left his ivy league school because of past behavior and his only chance to still finish college is to go to Branton a school in a small town in Canada. Harper is a teacher there who wants to leave but feels she has no choice. She feels since she dated a colleague who uses his power to get what he wants she can not leave with out him finding a way to ruin her career. Colton and Harper meet one night and hookup. Neither knowing that they will meet the next day when Colton joins her class as one of her students. The two are drawn to one another and know it is risky if someone were to find out about them. The chemistry between them is so steamy and the risk of being caught makes it hard for the two to stay ways from one another. I could not put the book down at times wanting to find out if they can overcome the obstacles they faced and whether they would get an HEA. loved the ending and the look into their lives a bit further on.

Harper is a teacher at Branton and has just ended a relationship with a Professor there. Trying to get back to normal when in her lecture class she sees the gorgeous man she slept with after ending things with her ex. Turns out her one night stand is one of her students. Colton has been sent to Branton since he has had some troubles at previous colleges. His first night there he meets Harper and takes her home with him never thinking he would ever see her again. However he sees her bright and early the next day when she starts teaching his class. Now he wants her even more since its forbidden. Harper's ex isn't happy that he ended things with her he is trying to take down her reputation both personally and professionally. When Colton overhears what he is saying to a bartender he sticks up for Harper which ends up causing problems for the both of them. Can Harper and Colton figure out what they are to each other before someone finds out about them?

This is a great story once I started it I couldn't put it down. Colton and Harper have off the charts chemistry. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this to any book lover.

A taboo relationship with a student, Colton and one of his professor’s Harper, who is also a few years older. Colton moves to Canada to attend a University when he gets kicked out of an Ivy League college in the States. He hates it and doesn’t think much of Canada or it’s reidents either but he does meet Harper, who happens to be one of his teachers. That doesn’t stop them and Harper has just broken up with her swarmy boyfriend, another professor, and she’s never been satisfied till Colton. It’s a dangerous game they're playing, he can get kicked out and she can lose her job especially when her ex starts stirring up trouble.
A good read with some steam and I enjoyed the role reversal, a female professor and a male student. I would have liked for Harper to stick up for herself more against her ex, to show some more back bone considering she’s a professor who talks in front of students, I would think she was more confident in herself. I really enjoy what Colton does at the end and where they end up in their HEA.

“Puck Buddies” a steamy delightful romance was a pleasure to read. As usual Teagan has written a story that I could not put down until the end. Colton/Colt a handsome arrogant athlete is in Canada playing university hockey after being expelled from his ivy league college in the states. Harper is a beautiful professor who has just left a long term relationship. When Harper and Colt meet the chemistry between them is explosive and they indulge in a one-night stand. Things begin to get messy when Colt discovers that Harper is one of his professors. “Puck Buddies” has all the elements of a five star read, drama, passion, jealousy, revenge and heartwarming emotions. I adored this entertaining story and the wonderful characters involved. I think this is the best Beckett brothers book yet. One-click for a captivating reading experience.

Colton Becket's temper and ego keep getting him into trouble, one last chance to redeem himself, he finds himself on the frozen land of Canada- trying out for the Hockey team. Thinking his life is at its lowest point- meeting Harper, a beautiful challenging should have been one night stand- ends up being a heatwave of something good, he wants more to explore.
Their electrifying connection says yes, but the obstacles standing in their way have other ideas.
Woo!
I love the Beckett Boys! Sexy, naughty protective men ready to take on whatever comes their way!
This passionate, hot to the touch tale, was a cornucopia of sexiness, finding inner strength, perseverance, and love through it all!
SIGH! I could not take my eyes off this book! Well developed characters and storyline met with a free-flowing, excellent pace had me from the very first page to the very last!
Another remarkable read by Teagan Kade!

Hot enough to melt the rink...

We first met Colton in "Long Game". When even the Beckett name couldn't keep him from being kicked out of his college, Colton finds himself in Canada attending college and playing hockey. The only bright spot is the woman he met one night and had a "hot" encounter with. Imagine his surprise when she turns out to be his professor. Harper is dealing with her own issues on the night she met Colton. As his professor, she knows they can't continue but their chemistry is too hot to be denied. What will happen when someone finds out? Will Harper leave the college? Will Colton find his "place" other than being the youngest Beckett brother?

Colton is an arrogant bad boy with anger issues, and is at the only college where he can play hockey. Harper has just gone through a breakup, and is dragged out by her best friend to a bar, and that is where she meets Colton. Harper and Colton meet at a low point in both of their lives and the chemistry is explosive between them. I loved all of the witty banter between all of these characters, as well as the forbidden romance between a student / teacher. This story is well written, humorous, and entertaining story, which had me intrigued and captivated throughout. I highly recommend this talented authors’ work for all sport lovers, and cannot wait to read more.

There is Colton who is a star Lacrosse player at an Ivy league school. He is sent to a small school in Canada because of his antics to play hockey. Then there is Harper who is being hassled by her ex who is also a professor at the same school. Colton and Harper have one great night and he is very surprised when the beauty he was with ends up being a professor at his school. When her ex finds out about Harper and Colton he threatens to destroy them. When Harper gets a job offer for a school in the us, will she take it? What will happen to their relationship? This is a good one. Enjoy!

This is an extremely sexy, student-teacher, sports romance. The story is well written and the characters are well defined and likeable. There’s some angst and conflict along with lots of laughs and super steamy scenes! I love Colton’s badass, cocky and mischievous attitude. Harper, although seemingly a bit prim and proper concealed a wilder side that apparently just needed a little coaxing. Their relationship while hot and heavy, is also very sweet and very taboo. All in all, a fun read! Looks like another Beckett brother has been tamed! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

For me this was more than a sports romance. This was Harper's journey to learning she is worthy and deserves more than mediocre. She also learns to stand up for herself, then add Colton to the mix it was hot. Colton is arrogant, loyal and will defend Harper. In my opinion Teagan Kade wrote a sports romance, taboo story (teacher, student), with a little suspense thrown in. I loved Harper and was rooting for her. Colton was a little over the top at the beginning but he grew on me. In my opinion Teagan Kade did not disappoint. I found myself rooting for Harper and Colton. If you are a Teagan Kade fan I would recommend. I received an ARC edition for my honest and voluntary review.

Harper is a teacher is a teacher at a small town college in Canada, she has just broken up with her boring tenured Professor boyfriend. Colton is on his last chance at college after being kicked out of his last college to saves his brothers. He winds up in small town Canada with an Ice Hockey scholarship. Harper and Colton meet in a bar and have a one night stand. She finds outs she is his teacher. With her ex causing trouble from the sidelines and a being together will cause trouble for both of them. Do they get their HEA or are their too many obstacles in their way?

Oh Colton Beckett, you are such a bad boy, you can’t behave but now in Canada playing lacrosse, will you behave.....I doubt it. After playing ice hockey you just couldn’t behave and are now relegated to Canada to play a different game and not one you ever thought with your teacher.....Harper Dunham, your cultural studies teacher and now the fun begins. Meeting in a bar, Colton can’t take his eyes off Harper. Their chemistry is off the charts. Two people fated to meet , to keep their relationship secret, their passion lukewarm....if possible and to ward off a crazy ex. A brilliant story I just love the Beckett brothers.

Fabulous book. I am so glad we get to see each of the Beckett Brothers and how they met their significant others. I will be reading more of Teagan Kade, I can't put her books down.

I felt this book was more into Harper's story than Colton's. I didn't mind reading about Harper and her ex-boyfriend James. I just wish we could have gotten to know Colton a lot more. I know I read a lot about Colton in Long Game (Indy and Cay story). I just wish we could have gotten to know what happened when Colton and Hunter went to Los Angeles for treatment. What was Colton doing in between these times. I like Colton I only wish there was more of his story.

Wow! Brilliant 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Read

Teagan does it again with her brilliant taboo teacher student relationship read. I loved it from the very first page. Cocky Colton was a LOL hilarious bad boy who gave Harper a run for her money! Harper has never had an ‘O’ and meets Colton in a bar. Little does she know that Colton is one of her students in Cultural Studies! An intriguing read with lots of angst, persuasion, and back stabbing from her slime ball ex James. Loved, loved, loved this great read. This is my honest review of an ARC I received.

Harper and Colton have an immediate and electric chemistry, but one night together runs in to complications. Yes, the passion is real, but the consequences are equally so. Colton has messed up opportunity in the past, and Harper is his professor... even if she is untenured. It's wonderful to follow along as their feeling grow from simply attraction to a deep love. A very highly recommended read for sure thanks to be creative plot and strong characters. This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.

Sometimes the cocky guy isn't exactly cocky just well versed.
This book by Teagan Kade offers up one such guy.
Colton may be arrogant but that is a big part of his charm and what makes this story work so well.

Harper is almost the complete opposite of Colton and it was wonderful watching her find her footing and excel to the person she was meant to be.
Together the fireworks are nothing less than perfect considering the cost that could come with them.

This book found and it's author have found their way into my keep list to reread again somewhere in the future.

Oh what fun! I absolutely loved this book with its witty dialogue, clear, concise storyline and hotter than hot relationship, with scenes so sexy you need a cold shower or at least new underwear. The overall character-development is fantastic and draws you further into the book as you feel as if you're actually there, experiencing everything first-hand. I could not put the book down once I started it and consequently saw midnight instead of my usual 22h00 bedtime, but it was so worth it! It is a quick and easy read, perfect for some "me" time when you just need to escape.

A naughty, taboo read that doesn’t disappoint!

A naughty, taboo read that brings the teacher/student relationship to a whole new level when Harper meets Colton in a pleasurable way that makes her experience something she has been waiting for. This was my first introduction to one of the Becket brothers and it was hot, hot and hot! A truly enjoyable and entertaining story that doesn’t disappoint and am wanting more of these brothers.

Colton is a hot tempered college student who tried out for the Canadian hockey team. He meets a sexy woman in a bar after making the hockey team. Harper just broke up with her boyfriend who said she was frigid. Her best friend decides she needs a hot one night stand. This was a hot steamy professor/student romance that kept you turning the pages. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

A fun read for a chilly Sunday afternoon. Sports star and the school teacher, this forbidden romance was entertaining. She's gone from one lame relationship to a saucy affair with great sex. I kept thinking this can't end well, but the author had a few twists. Well written story with likeable characters, I enjoyed it.

Puck Buddies was a well done sports romance with a touch of taboo. I loved the conflicts between Colton and his teammates as well as Harper's struggles. And the chemistry between Colton and Harper was sexy and hot. Awesome read!
