When I started The Worst Pucking Deal I thought I knew what I was getting in to. Fake dating love it, but no we have marriage of convenience. But not just that we have dark hockey and mafia in this book too. Now that is a recipe of my ideal book. We have Sawyer a playboy hockey player who’s gotten into too many compromising positions and the sponsors are sick of it. Sawyer needs to clean up his image immediately or his career is in jeopardy. Lucia is on the PR team for the Sabertooth hockey team, and she has the idea to get Sawyer into a fake relationship. But Lucia’s past comes knocking at her door in the form of her Cousin Remus the current Don. He wants her to come home because the deal she struck with his father the time is almost up. Lucia is doing to do everything in her power to avoid going home to Italy. Her only way out is to get Sawyer to wife her up, and Sawyer has no want to ever get married. The push and pull between the both of them and the way Sawyer and Lucia‘s relationship evolves was amazing. This book absolutely took me by surprise. I didn’t think I would love it as much as I did and I’ve gone ahead and recommended it to at least five other people just in the past two days because it was so good. I’ve most definitely found a new favorite author.
