Three Pucks and a Baby
by Katie Ashley
emotional
funny
lighthearted
medium-paced
Vivian is a quiet university librarian who feels like her life is missing an element of excitement that she feels she should have at 30. She knits and researches when she isn’t at work, and hasn’t put a whole lot of effort into relationships.
Grayson and Theo have a superstition that has evolved and grown each year they’ve played together. Both seniors on the university hockey team, they have certain rituals they use to give them luck, and their most successful one is having a threesome before important games.
The guys are looking for a slightly older woman this year, and when Grayson sees Vivian in the library he knows she is perfect for them. She is hesitant, as she's never been one to be overly adventurous, but she clicks with Grayson and Theo and they make her comfortable enough to give it a try. What they didn’t expect was for it to become a foursome, nor did they expect to develop feelings as the season progressed.
This was a lot of fun from start to finish. Vivian is a solid heroine with a good head on her shoulders. She didn’t see herself having multiple partners, but you can’t plan for everything! Grayson is the quintessential golden retriever, wanting to make sure everyone is comfortable. Theo has a need to control things. Benny is more go with the flow, but has been harboring feelings for one of his roommates for some time.
This is a spicy why choose with a lot of layers. There were times I wanted a little more relationship building -- with multiple partners often comes unexpected emotions to work through -- but I ultimately loved the way these characters came together. There was plenty of spice and a lot of heat as these four navigated an unexpected baby, an unexpected relationship, and navigating the world of living in a nontraditional household.
