Kara's Review

 

Thoroughly Pucked is the third book in the My Hockey Romance series by Lauren Blakely. I’m loving this series and these characters. I fell hard and fast for Dev and Ledger! I already loved Aubrey and was excited to see her get the double d that she’s been wishing for. She’s left at the altar and saved by her brother’s best friends. Dev and Ledger have always liked Aubrey so they have no problem being there for her. Taking her wherever she needs to go and trying to help her get through the worst day of her life. They never expected to end up on a three-way honeymoon but they are here for it. When there’s only one bed things heat up. Aubrey never thought she’d be equally attracted to two men at the same time, but here she is. In one bed with them both. Dev always had a thing for Aubrey and he can’t believe his luck. Ledger was always attracted to her, but the timing was never right. Now the three of them are together, alone and all bets are off. It’s temporary, just until they get back home. But what happens if they want more? Do they want more? Hell yes they do! Dev and Ledger and are all in, but Aubrey needs a little time to sort out her life. Time they are willing to give her if it means they get to have her for real at the end. Oh man! I loved this story. So. Hard. The heat, the fun, the banter, the laughs, the sexiness. All perfection! Dev with his carefree attitude and love for hockey and family. Ledger with his broodiness and decisions he needs to make about what comes next. And Aubrey with her dreams, fantastic friends and hope. It’s the perfect romance!

Audio: Wowzas! Samantha, Teddy and Jason slayed this one! They were the perfect Aubrey, Dev and Ledger. My ears are still happy!

 

 

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Throughly Pucked is the third MFM book in the My Hockey Romance series by Lauren Blakely. This series is bringing the heat and emotions. You can read each one as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series since it’s fun, delicious, and even inspiring.

On Aubrey’s wedding day she become single after her fiancé decided that he would rather be a f*ck boy than a married man. Her day was looking up when she saw two men, her brother’s best friends take her away in a getaway car. They were exactly what she needed. Two friends to make her laugh, turn the day into a fun night. That was when she remembered the honeymoon…

Dev and Ledger didn’t want their time with Aubrey to end. She had a honeymoon planned and paid for and it was still the off-season so she agrees that they can whisk her away for a week of fun. She had no idea how much fun it would be. Between great activities during the day and heated activities at night it was life-changing. She never thought she would fall into bed with one of her brother’s best friends but she was falling in with two and they didn’t mind one bit. It made their connection elevated and beautiful. But is she ready for more than a week of being throughly pucked by these amazing men? They had an expiration date and that was it.

Damn, Gina! Lauren made my iPad steam up with this one! It’s not all about the hotness though. Aubrey was learning more about herself and what she wants in life. Dev and Ledger are supportive and figuring out their own futures. I absolutely loved everything about their story and can’t wait for the next book!

 

 

Blurb

 

Two star hockey players and their best friend’s little sister in a runaway bride rom com!

Picture this. I’m about to walk down the aisle when the groom decides to drop this news on me – he wants to dial it down to just f-buddies.

That’s when my brother’s two pro-hockey playing buddies help me escape seconds before the wedding march begins.

But what’s a runaway bride to do with a broken heart and a non-refundable honeymoon? Book an extra ticket and take two off-limits, totally charming, absolutely gorgeous star athletes who want to lift my spirits.

When we arrive there’s only bed in the hotel room.

And it happens to fit three. The goalie, the forward and me.

Looks like I’m about to get thoroughly pucked on my double honeymoon. Talk about lifting my spirits…

Thoroughly Pucked is a standalone hockey, brother’s best friends, runaway bride MFM romance with a guaranteed why-choose style HEA! No swords cross. This story is perfect for fans of spicy hockey romance!

Excerpt Reveal – What Happens at the Lake, Vi Keeland

January 11, 2024 | Posted in Excerpt | By

 

Title: What Happens at the Lake
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine
Release Date: January 15, 2024
Take a sneak peek at WHAT HAPPENS AT THE LAKE.
You know you want to…

 

She smelled like damn summer.

 

And it pissed me off.
Plus, I was tired from a shitty night’s sleep. I’d tossed and turned thinking about Little Miss Home Improvement wearing nothing but a pair of denim short overalls and work boots—no shirt, no socks, definitely no bra or underwear.
Josie hopped down from the last two steps on the ladder. “Can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Are you always this grumpy in the morning?”
“I’m not grumpy.”
“No? So this is what? Your idea of a sparkling personality? I asked if your coffee was okay, and you grunted at me.”
“That wasn’t a grunt. That was a yes.”
Josie made a short, deep noise that sounded like a pig.
I arched a brow. “Is that supposed to be me?”
She made the sound again, this time adding some monkeylike arm movements and jumping around. “Gronk.”
“Cute.”
She jumped again. “Gronk. Gronk.”
I tried not to react, but she was just too damn adorable.
Josie pointed at my face. “There it is again. The elusive Mr. Grumpy Pants smile. It’s kind of…dare I say…nice.” She made an exaggerated gasping sound and covered her mouth. “Oh no. I hope it’s not too painful.”
“Alright, wiseass. I get the point. How about you take your oinking ass out front and grab one of the small two by fours I left on the porch? I’ll show you how to make an easy support to hold up the drywall while it gets screwed into the ceiling.”
Josie strutted to the door. The woman was wearing a white tank top and long, pale pink, flowy skirt to do construction. It looked like she was going on a picnic date, rather than hanging sheetrock—though the tank top hugged her in all the right places, and there was something about her collarbone that I couldn’t drag my eyes away from. She bent to pick up the wood out front, and the top of her tank gaped open, giving me a clear view down her shirt. I forced my head in the other direction, though my eyes managed to slant and continue looking.
“Jesus Christ,” I grumbled to myself. “I need to get the fu¢k out of here.”
