Pucking Around was amazing and I enjoyed every moment from spice to the plot twist but some how Pucking Wild was even better. I laughed, cried (I'm a Tess), and wanted to punch Tess's ex so bad. The spice was off the charts. I was pumped for this book but I wasn't ready for how obsessed I am over this book. This book has an amazing ending and I so can't wait for Poppy's story and find out what happens in her story. I know this book review is very all over the place but as a curvy redhead that has been through an evil ex and also some other issues talked about in this book it just hit different and I just love it so much. Please if you enjoyed Pucking Around read Pucking Wild. You get more of Rachel and her guys plus an amazing love story that has lots of spice. This is a 5/5 star and 5/5 spice 5/5 plot. GO READ IT NOW! Happy reading

I liked the exploration of different types of sex with consent, overcoming an abusive relationship, and diversity through a learning difference and with a plus size woman as the FMC. On the other hand, parts of it were not super memorable and I struggled to finish this as fast as I did with Pucking Around. I wish Tess and Rachel’s relationship was a bigger part of the story, too. Finally, in terms of the series as a whole while there is great diversity in terms of bodies, learning differences, and sexuality, I wish there was more racial, ethnic, and gender diversity. That said, I appreciate how Emily Rath has helped to pave the way for books about queer relationships and people to become more mainstream.

This universe. Dr. Rath thank you for these gems. I laugh so much in these. I love them. These books are everything. They touch your heart, they make that kitty purr, and I'm surprised I don't have abs from how much they make me laugh. Miss Tess I knew I would love her but I had no idea the kind of strength she had. God she is such a freaking badass and I love it. I love her confidence, her take no shit attitude and how fiercely she loves. I understood her needs to run and her feelings of never being seen and to see her overcome those was beautiful. And Ryan ugh to find a man that obsessed is the goal. We love that this puppy had some bite and couldn't have had a better man for our wild leading lady. Ryan was so fun to get to know he killed me so much. He also cared so much. I can't wait to see more from these families and I just can't rave about these enough 🥰
