Pucking Around: A Why Choose Hockey Romance (Jacksonville Rays Book 1)

Product Information

About Rachel's past, everything has been told within a couple of paragraphs and then that's it, conflicts are just based on that. Basically, it was apparently she had history with bad press and she wanted to protect the boys from it. Got it. But, it felt like a lot of tell, no show. She goes to lots of away games and to some other places with guys in public, but somehow she never faced the press eyes until the end. So, that became a little unbelievable. I laughed throughout this book. It is such a feel-good book. I just had so much fun reading it. I liked that Rachel has a different relationship with each man. That they were able to build a family together without jealousy coming between them. I loved that each man brought something different to the relationship and that each one got something from the others. They build a strong cohesive unit. It truly is a all for one and one for all. This is a special book for me. Sometimes we refer Author here 👋🏻 Thank you so much to each and every person leaving an honest review. Authors are nothing without their readers/reviewers, especially indie authors, who rely so heavily on word of mouth.

Team with Ilmari aka Mars as goalie, the complex Finnish (teddy)bear with a big heart to match his 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 big "heart" lmaoI had expected the romance between Jake and Rachel, because it’s where this whole thing started. But it was a whole lot more than that. I loved when Rachel had to meet with the General Manager. I laughed when the GM shows her the folder he has on her and tells her how hard she is making his job. I liked that her family supported her through it all. I liked that the rest of the team supported her, Jake, Ilmari, and Caleb.

Jake Compton – the golden retriever defenseman who loves ice cream and bird watching. Also best friend to Caleb. Rachel, Jake, Caleb and Mars have their own journey and there's depth to each of them, but they also grow and learn with each other. Also, I get that this was instalove, but there were some moments where I wished there was some conversations at least, instead of just oh, she knows me, I know her. Like not all the time maybe. Rachel fell in love with them all starting with Jake, Caleb and then Ilmari. She accepted them from the start and understood what each one needed. She helped them through their hurdles as individuals, allowed them to accept things on their own terms and in their own time. She openly loved them and accepted everything about them.There's was a few cringe moments and times I rolled my eyes from the OTT lovey dovey statements that seemed to happen too often toward the end, but overall I loved the spice, the relationships and the humour. I can't let those small OTT moments take away from rating this book as a whole!

Ilmari; Devoted, Strong, Levelheaded, Determined, Loving and Loyal. This man who couldn’t trust a soul put his life on the line to trust Rachel with his secret. He fell in love with her in an instant, accepting her and the love she had for both Jake and Caleb, opening his heart to them. He showed nothing but strength and loyalty to all of them. Caleb; Thoughtful, Kind, Over thinker, determined, Loving and Loyal. This man puts everyone else fist despite losing everything he ever loved. He let go of his anger and put all of his trust in both Rachel and Jake to only fall in love with both and making them his family, Ilmari included. That said, it does enough. It’s a long read (as I’ve mentioned… many times) but I don’t think that should deter you if you’re into your sports romances.My name is Rachel Price, and two months ago, I walked away from the perfect man. We shared one magical night. No names. No strings. I never thought I'd see him again. I was wrong. Two, same time Mars said he wanted to see how she is with the other two, and he didn't mean sex. But, then yup she let's Caleb touch her and wanted Mars to watch. Sure Mars contented but I feel Caleb came off too strong on him, and Rachel didn't even say anything. But, that's not the main thing though. Same scene extends to Jake joining them, and nobody asks Mars to consent whether or not he wants to watch. But, Caleb just goes on bossing them for more.
