My Pucking Crush by Tori Chase
4.0
story of Max and Luca
This is a bodyguard x player to more dark hockey romance, featuring Max and Luca, and is a standalone book.
Max is the captain of a professional hockey team. There have been threats made against him so one of the security team has been assigned to him for protection - that lucky job falls to Luca - the hot bodyguard (secret ex mafia) who has a secret obsession and crush on Max.
So much happens in this book! My head is swimming with everything that went down in this book, so much to think about.
This is definitely a dark romance, so make sure you read the CW. This story is spicy and dramatic and focuses on the hurt / comfort of both these characters. Both Max and Luca have past trauma, Max especially has trouble with this past and as a result tries to deny what he truly wants. Luca kind of bulldozes his way into Max’s life and their ‘bodyguard with benefits’ situationship becomes all consuming and they both end up learning how to love.
Their relationship is definitely not conventional but I kind of dug their f-ed up normality at the end, I mean when you fall in love with someone in the mafia, you know what you are getting in to.
This one was definitely different to the standard hockey books I’ve read and I think it’s worth the read if you are looking for something a little darker and not at all low angst featuring a whole mafia angle to a hockey trope. It’s a great mix.
It is a standalone but there are a couple of breadcrumbs in there that there may be another book on the horizon.
Ps. The audio narration was fantastic.
Things to expect in this book are:
Standalone
MM dark romance - Read CW
Hockey player x bodyguard
Some angst
Mafia drama
Obsession / Crush
Forced proximity
MC pierced everywhere
Hurt / Comfort
Living with past trauma
One bed
Homophobic parents & friends
Secret relationship
Spicy times & dirty talk
Calls him baby
Protective & Possessive
S*x club
Coming out
HEA
