Reviews with content warning for Toxic relationship - Pucking Wild

I've had the physical copy of this one since LIT back in October, plus it's on Kindle Unlimited. I've wanted to read it since it came out because Pucking Around was one of those books I was lucky to read right before the hype went off for it. Seeing it blow up like it did was so fun, but I never got around to picking up Pucking Wild. I even reread Pucking Around back in October, planning to pick up Pucking Wild right afterward, and I still didn't do it. But I finally plunged back into this world and loved Tess, but flippin' Ryan was AMAZING! I couldn't get enough of this one from the second I picked it up, but I loved it so much. Plus, it was a reverse age gap, and I know these aren't a new thing or even that rare, but I've read 2-to 3 of them since really getting into KU and to see it play out. Anyway, you don't need to read Pucking Around first. Still, I recommend doing that because Rachel and the guys pop up so much in this book. I loved seeing them, but if you read this book first, you won't have that connection to them or really know how they ended up where they are. I cannot wait for the next book to come out now, and I really need to read Pucking Ever After Vol 2 now! But the only issue I ran into in this one was the ex. He should've been more villainous. Don't get me wrong, he was terrible whenever he appeared, but he was more annoying than anything and really played on the emotional side.

If you’re looking for live able characters and a high spice level, Emily Roth’s Pucking series is for you. She does a great job of avoiding macho BS by creating emotionally available MMCs willing to do whatever it takes to win their woman. In a genre full of problematic themes and “heroes” Ms. Roth consistently creates safe spaces to explore adventurous sex and sexuality in a mature way. I really like her work and look forward to reading more.

I loved the characters in this. I’m torn on the rating because the story wasn’t quite 5 stars for me personally but I loved Ryan’s “he falls first” happy, puppy energy. I loved Tess’s confidence, and that she spoils Ryan with gestures because she knows it’ll make him happy. I loved the nicknames and the made up middle names. Personal preference, I didn’t love the mild dom/sub stuff, but it was few scenes and not major part of the story.
