A review by dinoqueenreads
Well and Truly Pucked by Lauren Blakely
5.0
please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: yes with bonus epilogues by signing up for her newsletter!
POV: multi 1st person POV (Briar, Rhys, Gavin, Hollis)
spice: several open-door spicy scenes
TWs: cheating, catnapping (LOL), left at the altar, divorce, parental abandonment, death of a sibling, chronic illness (cystic fibrosis), death of a parent
standalone: book 4 in the My Hockey Romance series (interconnected standalones)
final thoughts: one of the best things about a why choose romance is the FMC having different personality types in her MMCs. This book brings that front-and-center by having Briar use qualities and personality traits from all 3 leading men to write a column about what makes the perfect boyfriend. I laughed, I cried, I swooned- I loved every minute of this book and really loved each of the MCs.
Brair was a great FMC- confident, friendly, driven, and a great friend
Rhys is the lovable cheeky British boyfriend who has been unluckily in love and isnβt looking for romance, until he realizes he might have a shot with his friend and yoga teacher, Briar.
Gavin is the broody boyfriend who isnβt sure where he fits in but is willing to learn as he goes and give some direction along the way.
Hollis is the prefect golden retriever boyfriend who helps Briar lower her defenses and keeps her head leveled when sheβs feeling overwhelmed.
Combined, these guys show Briar what she deserves in a boyfriend all while woo-ing her and showing her that their happily ever after can last beyond the week.
