This book was a train wreck that I loved and loathed. The story was awful, and by that I mean it was just too over the top for me. Some of the things the MMC did made my eyes roll with how outlandish they were. HOWEVER, I enjoyed this author’s style. The intended humor was great and totally on point for what I enjoy. The banter is also excellent! I will be continuing with the next book in the series to see if the style can outweigh the plot craziness.
Boring tbh, nothings happening and they both have the personality of wet carton soww
This was terrible.
I am all for dark romance but this wasn’t a romance, it was straight up abuse. The MMC was too obsessive and possessive it was clearly a mental illness.
The FMC had a rough childhood and because of that she was vulnerable and this man straight up took advantage of her. And she fell for him even after realising how mentally ill he is which didn’t feel true to her character. After having the strength to survive that long on her own to then give it all up for some abusive guy !? Come on.
The writing was not great. The romance was non existent and there was no tension just insta love on his part.
I will not be reading the next book.

Starts out as cute wrong number texts but ends as creepy psychopathic kidnapper wins her over with zero grovel/change?
Absolute ick.
Only good thing was the best one-star review of this book that I saw. Joan wrote that this book made her wish she were illiterate.

3.7 ⭐️ I went into this pretty blind. The beginning was really good but then it took dark turn. Dark isn’t my thing for romance novels but I can still appreciate a well done story so it earned its stars.

C.R. Jane’s The Wrong Pucking Number is a hockey romance that spins a wild, messy web of accidental texts, intense attraction, and deeply chaotic characters. The premise starts with a wrong-number text that quickly turns into a steamy, no-boundaries sort of connection between the heroine and a hot, emotionally volatile hockey player. What begins as flirty banter escalates into a full-blown, no-holds-barred situationship that blurs every line of logic and self-preservation.
Content Warnings: Emotional manipulation, toxic relationship dynamics, mental health issues (poorly addressed), possessiveness, obsession, and explicit sexual content.
While it might appeal to fans of dark romance or “so-wrong-it’s-right” storylines, this book left me with one overwhelming reaction: “What the fuck did I just read?” The characters, particularly the leads, are deeply unwell—and not in the sexy, tortured way. I spent most of the book mentally urging them to seek intensive therapy—like full-time, inpatient therapy. Their interactions are a whirlwind of jealousy, controlling behavior, and emotional whiplash, often disguised as romance. At a certain point, it stops feeling spicy and starts feeling deeply uncomfortable.
C.R. Jane has a knack for writing chemistry and fast pacing, but the plot often crosses from “dramatic” into “unhinged.” If you enjoy chaotic love stories where the red flags are the point, this might be your jam. But for me, it was more exhausting than exciting. I can appreciate a bit of mess in my romance, but this one tipped too far into pure dysfunction.
