Pucking Around by Emily Rath

My name is Rachel Price, and two months ago, I walked away from the perfect man. Sweet and funny, and so hot it should be illegal—we shared one magical night. No names. No strings. I never thought I’d see him again.

I was wrong. It turns out Mr. Perfect is the playboy grinder for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL’s hottest new hockey team…and I’m his new physical therapist. Oh, and the jerk doesn’t even recognize me!

This fellowship is going to be the longest ten months of my life. Mr. Perfect Mistake will do anything to get back on my good side. Meanwhile, his best friend is the surly new equipment manager always riding my case. Worst of all, I’ve got an uncooperative goalie who thinks I can’t tell he’s hiding an injury!

This is my chance to prove myself, and I’m not risking it for anything. But with one unexpected night, one secret revealed, these men are ready to test all my limits. I can’t fall for a player…let alone three. But if love is a game, these guys are playing to win.

My Review

I appreciate the tropes, tags, and content warning at the beginning of this book. It is very well done and makes me even more interested to read it, but it may only be for some. The author really included some superb info at the beginning of this book. It is well thought out, and I appreciate it.

Rachel is a hot mess, but she met her dream guy and then left him to get her dream fellowship placement. I can’t wait to see how this new life pans out for her. I like the funny moments and the relatable content with the main character. The mature content starts early and will leave you gasping in shock, but it is fabulous.

Caleb, the hot hockey player, is delighted to pick up Rachel from the airport and deal with her hot mess. Caleb is the Assistant Equipment Manager for the team and a surfer boy at heart. I love his nickname for Rachel. He is a true knight in shining armor.

I love it when the author uses double entendres. It makes it so fun to read. Her new life and new job just collided with her dreams. I love the interconnected relationships and characters. It makes it so much more fun to read when they get surprised. I thought the chemistry with Caleb was hot; Jake is even more desirable, and the history between them is smoking. What will she do?

I love that the author incorporates fun, relaxed, steamy scenes and some angsty tension. I suspected, but now it is confirmed, and I can’t wait to see where the story goes with that info. Rachel is a bombshell in this book, going from timid to on fire. This storyline definitely takes a turn for the sauna, and I have no clue how it all works out, but I’ll enjoy the sizzling scenes. Jake and Caleb are not quite what I expected, but they also work. This story is all kinds of kinky, naughty, and erotic. I am still determining what will happen. But this is definitely gonna burn up your Kindle.

Omg, the small-world connections continue and amaze you at the same time. As if two weren’t enough, let’s add in a third, and wow, the author doesn’t spare the kinky details. The polyamorous relationship is very steamy in this book, but I love the story anyway. From heartbreaking fears to heart-wrenching moments on the ice, the author brings you back to reality and leaves you gasping. I love all the characters, from the firm but scared doctor to the stoic goalie and, of course, Caleb and Jake as well.
