"I wanna deserve you. Why can't I find a way to deserve you?"

First off, before I even begin to get into things, I want to say.... I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS. I was not expecting the deep emotions that Pucked Off had in it. I mean, I am no stranger to this standalone series. I have read Pucked, which I loved and I did read Pucked Up and Pucked Over, which I, unfortunately, didn't totally love   So yes, I know this series, and it's always been light and sassy and kind of OTT on the humor. And so, going into Pucked Off, I was expecting the same light feels as before... BUT NO. JUST NO.

Lance's book is deep and ache inducing and completely heartfelt.

You may think you know hockey player, Lance ‘Romance’ Romero, from the glimpses of this hot Scot who looks like a fiery Viking with his red hair, tall and muscular body, and piercing green eyes…but you've got no clue! There is way more to Mr. Romance than meets the eye. Mr. Mystery is finally solved and you will be besotted with his soul-searing story like I was. Lance, though, is the definition of a book boyfriend. But not in the way you're thinking. Not in that over the top, I am man, I am alpha, cookie cutter way we are used to. No, he is a book boyfriend because his struggle makes him feel real, alive. It gives him life to the reader and makes him relatable. He is simply so easy to love because at his core, this man is good. He is all things that define good. And you just can't stop yourself from falling. It's a visceral, overpowering sensation.

Poppy is also incredibly wonderful. She is so caring and gentle, yet she takes great lengths to protect herself. She doesn’t, though, shut him out in order to guard her heart. She is also completely intuitive, picking up on things that make him tense, angry, or cause him to shut down, and instead of using it to her advantage it, she uses to help him heal and to show him he is worthy of love. She also shows him the importance of self-love and self-preservation as she is unwilling to roll over during the conflict of the novel.

I was entranced, captivated, and absolutely STUNNED by this book! I had NO idea that Lance's demons ran that deep. I felt my heart breaking with every turn of the page. It left me breathless, speechless, and enamored. Lance's story is the richest, most emotionally compelling of the Pucked series

I more than loved it. I just think out of ALL the books that have come out of this series, this is hands down the best. The most real and heartfelt. Pucked Off is the most heartfelt hockey romance I’ve ever read. Helena Hunting brought her A-Game in Pucked Off. This game is still far from over for me, as my heart is still pounding for Mr. Romance.
