Pucking Around by Emily Rath is a smutty why choose hockey romance. It’s very spicy. If you want to listen to a bunch of pro hockey players 
f—k their hot doctor (and each other) in graphic detail then, wooooooweeeeeeee, do I have the audiobook for you. 

Oh boy. I don’t even know where to start with this one. First of all, I knew it was a why choose romance. But I didn’t know anything else, so color me surprised when that third male character’s chapter started. Wowza. 

All the narrators here are great. These guys can whisper into my ears anytime. Although, I always hate the guys doing the girl’s voice, but it is what it is. That Finnish goalie made it all worthwhile though. *sighs*

The edition I listened to included the novella prequel of That One Night. I’m really glad it did because it really laid the foundation for the book. 

I love Rachel. She’s so bold and hilarious. Caleb’s story broke my heart. Jake was my fave after the prequel novella but he actually got on my nerves a bit. And, Mars made the story. 

Ok, but let’s get to the nitty gritty of this one. This is not a book you read (or listen to) for the plot. There hardly is one. And yeah, some of the smut was way too over the top, even for me. Could it have been shorter? Absolutely. But it kept me very entertained during a grinding workweek.
