This book is something else... Even as someone who reads as much romance as I do, I don't think I was fully prepared for what would happen in this book and I am still undecided on whether I liked that or not.

I always saw Pucking Around touted as one of the best hockey romances/best reverse harems and I would have to disagree. I liked it in the beginning and thought it was going to be a new favorite, but I ended up being disappointed.

I think what ended up inevitably not really working for me is the fact that I was not able to suspend my disbelief quite enough to believe what was happening. I also felt like once I hit the 60% mark it became very slow and I got bored.
