Taking away an entire star because "expresso" is not a thing. I think I disliked every single of these female protagonists. I don't know why I finished all of them, other than they were fast and I thought for a second there one of them might be good. I'll overlook editing errors sometimes if the writing's okay, but this one was probably the worst of the lot. At least this author knows the difference between effect and affect.

The spice was hot and heavy in this book. It might just be the second spiciest book I've read. It had a decent story; although, it was very much centered on the sex. I appreciated the FMC being short and curvy! I'm not sure when hockey romances became one of my go-to tropes.

I LOVE a forbidden romance!! Just something about their first meeting really hooked me in and I'm so glad that I never looked back!

Hudson Rome. What can I say? He was the star goalie for the Avalanches and known as the Playboy Playmaker. He didn't want to be known as the Playboy Playmaker, so he didn't want any random hookups anymore. Of course, when he ran into Caroline at a party, she had no idea who he was, and they did hook up. That night changed everything because he could not get her out of his mind.
I loved seeing Hudson's attempts to change the way the media perceived him. When he found out Caroline was his coach's daughter, he tried to stay away from her despite not being able to stop thinknig of her. When he gave in to his feelings, I could see how much he truly cared for her. He was such a sweetheart with her and stepped in to take care of her, not caring about how it would look for him. Also, all his moments with Wren were just so cute. Let's not forget that mouth -- he is such a dirty talker!
Caroline was a great character as well. She was young, but she knew what she wanted and did not let anything stop her from going after what she wanted. She was also very confident and caring.
I loved the seeing the connection between Hudson and Caroline grow; their chemistry was undeniable and their banter was great! I also liked when Hudson's teammates gave him sh*t and joked around a lot, but I could tell that when it came down to it, they would be there for each other.
I wish this wasn't the last book in the series, but it was a great ending.

This book was absolute delight!
Hudson is one of the last remaining single players on his team - the rest we have seen in previous books find their soulmate and create families. Now the 33 year old Hudson is feeling like something is missing from his life and he no longer wants to be the playboy that everyone thinks he is.
However that doesn’t stop him from having a one night stand with a random woman after winning the Stanley Cup. No names or personal information exchanged - just one night of fun.
Well low and behold when the mystery woman shows up in a meeting with his coach, who hates him. The coach introduces said woman as his daughter Caroline and says that she will be working closely with Hudson in the off season at a hockey camp.
Even though they both agree that this can’t go any further, their chemistry is off the charts. Will they be able to keep it inside before it explodes and uproots both of their lives?
Hudson is giving Asher a run for his money as my favorite guy of the series! And boy oh boy, the mouth of this man

Playboy Playmaker is the fourth and final book in the Totally Pucked series. This can be read as a standalone, however it's best to read from the very beginning. I've said this time and time again, but THIS series is soooo good! It's a bittersweet ending to the Totally Pucked series, but I'm definitely anticipate what Maren has in store for us!
