I love dark books and this is dark and oh so spicy. I loved the Hockey Gods series and I loved the RH Sterling Falls series and The Pucking Coaches Daughter is the best of both worlds.  The tropes are the best damn part, they are bullying, why choose, stalking, non-con, dub-con, blood and knife play, blackmail, somnophilia and primal play!!  Sydney is the coaches daughter but starts out attending a different school than he coaches at. She thinks one of his players (Oliver) stole something of her so she goes to find it (she might break in, maybe). Doesn’t find it but takes pictures of something she thought interesting.  There are three very handsome, athletic guys that want her. Carter is her ex and he’s the captain of the St. James Seawolves. Penn is the Goalie for Vipers at Farmington State. Oliver is the captain of the Vipers at Farmington State. This book had so many twists and turns that I never knew what was going to happen next. Who gave out her contact info? Why Penn kinda being nice sometimes ? Who the hell is L.?  Who’s stalking her? Who will she choose? So many questions and they are all answered by the end.
