This is the problem with bad, overly long books: if it was shorter I probably would have finished it. I did make it further than the first book though.

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.

Oh, Tess and Ryan!  What am I going to do with you two?   

I'll tell you what I am going to do.... I am going to fall completely head over heels for both of them and their story!   

Our sweet little puppy golden retriever hockey player falls hard for the curvy,  spicy older bombshell!

I LOVED RYAN AND TESS!!! And honestly this book made me love mars even more. He was so protective Tess and I loved every second of it. This was a kind of slow burn between Ryan and Tess. Ryan was such an unmovable wall that Tess desperately needed. Even though Ryan was such a sweetheart with major golden retriever vibes. I loved how Tess brought him out of his shell in the bedroom just like Ryan helped her breakdown her walls in broad daylight. I LOVED that there wasn’t a 3rd act break up or even a miscommunication trope even though there was several moments for one. I also felt so bad  the problem that Ryan was secretly dealing with secretly he had to hide it from everyone. The scene on the beach when Tess found out was so heartbreaking but so sweet at the same time I definitely cried. The spice in this book was also top tier. Good lord that sauna scene in chapter 37 was 🥵. This book was definitely a 10/10 and the only reason I gave it 4.75 instead of 5 is because I still liked pucking around more.
