Buddy read w/ @teach.travel.read 

I jumped into this book head first after having a collective conversation with a group of friends that including a drawn diagram with stick figures I drew for me to understand the storyline of this book 😂 * core memory saved forever * 

Rachel made polyamory look so easy. SO EASY. 
Truthfully. I loved Caleb and Jake’s story more than anything. I think that’s what pushed me to finish it. I struggled. It was painfully long for no reason. 575 pages ? Baby. This could have easily been 350. Max. 

For my first hockey romance - I’d give it a solid 3.5 stars. The last 8-10 chapters saved the book for me. Few things that stood out to me and I remember lol - - > Caleb’s piercings. Squid tentacle the size of a Pringle can 😭😂😂.

Okay this was so fucking hottt! Between the 3 men worshiping her and eachother. The tentacle dildo. The finnish Viking and the dvp. I'm obsessed. Already want to read it again. Even better, no anxiety inducing fight. They actually communicated and I loved it

Eu tava enrolando pra fazer essa review porque eu realmente não sabia como classificar esse livro.

Seria 1 estrela, até chegar em 80% onde o livro melhorou bastante por isso eu vou dar 2 estrelas.
Parece que esse livro foi escrito por pessoas diferentes porque no começo temos uma narrativa, no meio a história se perde completamente, no final fica mais ou menos bom, mas não o bastante pra desconsiderar o que rolou antes.

Tem muitas cenas que dão muita vergonha alheia, foram escritas de forma pra dar vergonha mesmo, não é possível.

A personagem principal é inacreditavelmente chata e falta base pra gente entender porque 3 caras maravilhosos se apaixonaram perdidamente por ela, temos um glimpse no final do livro, mas não o bastante pra justificar.......

Sobre os personagens masculinos: MARS I LOVE YOU
JAKE por que vc é tão exagerado? em That One Night parecia um homem, aqui parece um adolescente
CAY perfeito

Não vou dar spoilers e não posso expor completamente minha opinião sem spoilers.
Vou ler o resto da série? Sim, infelizmente, estou curiosa pra saber onde essa história vai dar.

Pucking Around is a hockey why choose, reverse harem romance book that follows Rachel Price as she becomes the new resident therapist for the NHL’s new hockey team, the Jacksonville Rays as part of her fellowship. And well… she becomes involved not just with one but a total of 3 hockey players, in this polyamorous relationship. 

When I tell you this book is spicy, it’s MOSTLY SPICY. From beginning to end. I read this with pam from this book belongs to pam per recommendation by Vanessa from Read with Dr. I also decided to listen to the audiobook. 

I’ve noticed that while there are different characters, some of them can start sounding the same the more that I read. The sentence structure and cadence sound the same and I was able to differentiate because I was listening to the audiobook. Well, except for Jake and Caleb who I think have the same narrator. And since this book has male narrators for their POVs, it can be very off-putting and awkward when they do the female voices. 

You can read this book even if you don’t know much about hockey. So it’s accessible in that sense. I gave this book 3 stars.
