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

I had the honor of being on the ARC team for Pucking Around! Emily Rath put her heart and soul into this book! This book is so well written!Baby, where do I even begin! I fell in love with this book the moment I read the first sentence. Who doesn't love a why choose romance with a hot doctor and their hot hockey players! This book has the perfect plot to spice ratio. I could not put this book down.Dr. Rachel Price! My god I love this woman! She is smart, funny, sassy and knows exactly what she wants in life. She is the perfect FMC! I want to be Rachel when I grow up! She fights hard for what s

First off, I really really enjoyed this. It made me cry in a few places (moments between Jake and Caleb, and pretty much on and off through the whole end). I'm also really looking forward to the story about Tess and Ryan, having it being so thoroughly set up in this book. I loved the characters and if I look at it as a fantasy, it's great.Real quick, I have to once again object to the author using "clean" to signify negative status for STIs. Please use "negative" or something else less charged. If this seems unreasonable, just do a search about it. There are too many people applying the opposi

The prequel to Pucking Around is called That One Night, I definitely recommend reading it first.Emily Rath, what you did to me with this book is indescribable. I am a sucker for the reverse harem trope and this book is now one of my absolute favorite RH books, no doubt. I freaking loved it and now I am obsessed with Jake Compton forever. I need my own Jake Compton in my life, like right now. Not to mention the p*ssy twitches the spicy scenes in this book will give you are absolutely worth reading it for. It is some of the best one on one and group scenes I have read in a long time.Pucking Arou

OMG! I FINALLY got around to reading this book! It’s been in my TBR forever!! Me being a person who loves reverse harem romances really got behind this book. The book prior to this one actually was my ultimate favorite when it was just Jake and Rachel. This one too was good, lots of spice, past trauma, and found family.I like how the team all came together and made their own family, the individual relationships with Rachel, and even the ones with each other. Was not a huge fan of Caleb, he actually was my least favorite character overall. Maybe because he was bitter with what happened to him?

Rachel takes the place of the person who was to go to the Jacksonville Rays hockey team for the Barkley Fellowship as he was injured. Having problems with her airline reservations, she finally makes it to Tampa where she is met by Caleb, an equipment manager for the team. Her checked-in luggage is lost, and when she finally meets Caleb, her carry-on luggage falls apart embarrassing her with its contents. He delivers her to her apartment which is next door to his. She manages to lock herself out of her apartment on the balcony her first night there and needs Caleb to help her. When she finally

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ An equal amount of a good story with steamy spice. I had my doubts going into this because it’s quite infamous in both the Booktok community and the NHL fan community. Nevertheless, it was fun, interesting, and all 3 male leads stole my heart just as easily as they did with the fmc Rachel. The only issue I had was probably Rachel’s character, for someone who constantly mentioned that she was a doctor, she sure didn’t seem like it? I work in healthcare too, and this girl just gave me physical therapist vibes. It truly didn’t feel like her career matched with her, she had w

This is my first hockey romance. And HOLY BOOK GODS!!! This book is everything, it is also my first book with MM action in it. I didn't think I would like it but it was really good the way it was written, Emily did a fantastic job with the evolution of the characters and how they all came together. I love a reverse harem book and this one tops the charts for me. This book has a lot of SMUT and I'm here for it, damn it was good. 😍

If you love hockey and a why-choose romance, Pucking Around by Emily Rath is the book for you! This novel checks all the boxes and then some: grumpy sunshine, friends to lovers, and a perfect mix of humor and emotion.From start to finish, this story had me hooked. It’s spicy enough to keep things interesting without feeling repetitive. The plot is intricately woven, and every detail is thoughtfully executed. The characters are so well-developed, each flawed yet lovable, and I couldn't help but want to learn more about them.Rachel, Jake, Caleb, and Illmari form a beautiful, unconventional famil
