chelsss_ann 's review for:
Three Pucks and a Baby
by Katie Ashley
DID NOT FINISH: 46%
Thank you to Katie Ashley and The Nerd Fam for the ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.
This whole review could be considered a spoiler since I'm quoting direct lines from the book and referencing specific scenes, but they are all centered around the main plot of the book so I don't think they're major spoilers. But proceed at your own risk!

Right away I didn't absolutely love the writing style of this book. Don't get me wrong, it's not awful writing. It was still making for an easy read (I read the 46% in an evening). Then I started to come across some sentences that just didn't vibe with me.
Examples:
The FMC thought the guys felt like she was a 'ho' because they were interested in a threesome with her (pg 43). She told one of the MMCs that she didn't expect him to be in the library much because he plays the guitar (pg 49). When she found out the same MMC was bi, she straight up said, "You're gay?" (pg 60). 1) It's not your business and 2) the way she said it was more of the problem for me. I also cringed when one of the MMCs said, in the middle of undressing her, "F*ck yes, I knew the carpet matched the drapes."
Despite those things, I was moving through the book quickly and the smutty scenes were pretty good. But what made me finally decide to DNF was when she reveals she's pregnant to the three MMCs. One MMC responded with, "If you were going to be f*cking three men like a wh*re, why didn't you have the decency to be on birth control to keep a mess like this from happening?" 1) This was the MMC who I would say was the one trying to persuade her the most into a threesome (which turned into a foursome), yet he's acting like she was trying to trap him with a baby, and 2) I can't get with her forgiving him after saying that to her.
If those things don't bother you, then I think you'd enjoy this book. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
