This one sounded fun and quirky, and I picked it up randomly. However, there were some moments where the book lost its way. I got tired of the book relying so heavily on the miscommunication trope. I wanted more between them instead of just coming clean. The book also relied heavily on insta-love, but it played well in this one because it was supposed to be just for one weekend. Still, it wasn't until she learned she was pregnant that they were forced to reconnect. It was a lot of fun seeing Briggs go from being this bachelor to father mode and, along with his teammates, helping him figure out everything. This is technically the second book in the series, and even though I didn't read the first one, I could have done better. There are a few snippets tied back to that first book.

I enjoyed this, not as much as Change on the Fly but still enjoyed nonetheless.
I found this book quite repetitive, felt like I was constantly reading the same sentence, a few paragraphs later but just written slightly differently.
I think Maren Moore creates really real, well rounded characters, and I always look forward to reading how they all interact with each other.
2.5 from me this time, but I’m still excited to start book 3.

Epically swoony, adorably heartwarming, and sexy AF, Sincerely the Puck Bunny is without a doubt Maren Moore’s best work to date! Briggs is the dreamy book boyfriend you’ve been waiting for!
We’ve all been waiting to see what is behind hockey’s troubled bad boy….and just who is the face behind the infamous Puck Bunny pen name. STB gives us all the answers- and then some. And turns out the only secret that comes Briggs way isn’t just the identity of the sassy blogger that’s been a thorn in his side- we also have a surprise, secret baby…and DADDY BRIGG IS EVERYTHING. My ovaries just exploded and I popped out quadruplets- because he’s just that delicious as a devoted, protective, and loving unexpected dad.
We have a few twists, some SUPER sexy and sweet steamy times, and a whole lot of that characteristic Maren Moore heartfelt and swoony chemistry. Together they are a messy and adorable pair- two people just trying to figure out their way after their own, and others’, choices have caused them to get a little bit lost. A chance encounter inspires and centers them and cements a bond that only flourishes once they are serendipitously drawn back together and find themselves in a beautiful, but unexpected partnership. Even though our leading lady has been harboring a secret, you can’t help but fall in love with her sweet and playful spirit. And Briggs- hands down my favorite Maren man. HE IS PERFECT- a total dreamboat hero and father that is easy to love, and a dirty talking alpha who melts your panties. Maren has such an effortless propensity in writing leading men that sweep you away with their charm and big teddy bear hearts- men with a little edge, but a whole lot of love, and when they find their special lady, they don’t hold back. And cue all the swoony, sweet, feel good butterflies.
The hockey uncles and baby Olive TOTALLY steal the show. We get cameos from all our favorites and we get tons of time with our hockey heroes to come, including the delightfully goofy and and endearingly sincere rookie Graham, whom I’m already madly in love with. What a fun and captivating world Maren has built in the Totally Pucked series- I can’t wait for more!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️ I read this book in a day. I couldn’t put it down. The writing was well done. The storyline progressed nicely. It was a slow burn but I was aware of that going in.
* There was great character growth from both main character. If you easily fold at the sight of a man loving on a baby then you will instantly become a puddle reading this.
* I love that it’s the same duet narration as the first book in the series. I enjoyed both narrators throughly. They brought great emotion to the story.
* I definitely liked this one better than book 1. I can’t wait to continue the series.
Themes:
* Slow burn
* Friends to lovers
* Hockey romance

I picked this one up because I saw one line of it on TikTok. That one moment was great, the rest was lacking. It's a hockey romance....but there's hardly any fun team dynamics or hockey moments. And it's also not that romantic. And he only calls her 'baby' in a way that really gives me 'the ick'. The characters are flat and uninteresting. The premise is good, but the book was really not engaging and considered DNFing many times.
Super adorable! This gave me Three Men & a Baby vibes. So cute! I was really rooting for this. And I definitely don’t love when one of the main characters is in the media or press. It makes everything so much messier and I usually hate it, but this was very cute!
