The Bad Motherpuckers Are Here!

Hot hockey players, you say? Yes, please, and thank you, Lili Valente, for this awesome new series about the Portland Badgers and the women that they love.

Justin Cruise, star forward for the Badgers, is more than just a pro on the ice. Sexy as all get-out, he's also literally the boy next door. So when Libby Collins finds herself in need of someone to teach her the finer arts of seduction, she can think of no one that she'd rather learn from than Justin.

Justin has always seen Libby as sort of a little sister, but she's blossomed into much more than that over the years. What starts out as a friend helping a friend is soon blazing hotter than either one expected, and neither Justin nor Libby are looking at each other the same way.

I love absolutely everything that Lili writes, so it comes as no surprise that this first book in the new series owned my heart I adore the relationship between Libby and Justin, and was rooting for this pairing from the very start. It is, by turn, sweet, sexy, and pretty danged scorching, and just what I've come to expect and love from Lili.

Tyler Donne and Summer Roberts do an excellent job of capturing the personalities of these characters, and made listening to HOT AS PUCK truly enjoyable. It's no surprise that this story is 5 stars all around, and that I can't wait to pop in my earbuds for the next installment.

A Must Buy

Would you consider the audio edition of Hot as Puck to be better than the print version?

Not necessarily, I love both. But there's something really special about the way the narrators bring the characters to life.

What other book might you compare Hot as Puck to and why?

Magnificent Bastard and Spectacular Rascal have the same type of humor and romance.

What about Tyler Donne and Summer Roberts ’s performance did you like?

The narrators add so much humor and emotion to the characters, its a real pleasure to listen to them.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh yes! I wish I had the time to do that.

I tried....

I struggled to finish. The narrators were killing me, especially the Male. The story just seemed to drag on. I ended up finishing it because my OCD wouldn't allow me to end in 3 chapters in.

Nice story but....

I'm all for romance stories and allowing them to transport me into a happily-ever-after but this story had some obvious issues, most especially the fact that tough hockey-playing men do not openly share their feelings with each other in a locker room.

One huge turn off was the male narrator. He read all the erotic material like it was an owner's manual for a calculator. It was way too clinical and had absolutely no passion at all.

This book had a decent story line though.

Politics

I read to get away from everyday stuff. So to have to read someone’s views especially when that story is telling you on first dates don’t talk religion or politics and it’s your first book in series and you bring up a very controversial situation. Double standard/ hypocrisy... I could go on So I stopped at that point and deleted the rest in the series. Write the book, write the story keep your political thoughts to yourself. We get that too much anymore in everyday life. Books=escape. I’ll be shocked if this review gets printed.

PUCKING Amazing!!

What made the experience of listening to Hot as Puck the most enjoyable?

I've read the physical book before, but the audio was absolutely amazing. Listening to the narrators bring this story to life made it enjoyable and realistic.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hot as Puck?

This entire book is memorable for me, but I loved when Justin wrote Libby the second poem telling her he loves her. Justin's poems were hilarious but so him.

Which character – as performed by Tyler Donne and Summer Roberts – was your favorite?

I loved them both equally.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not a particular moment, but the friendship between Justin and Libby moved me in itself. The fact that they will do anything for one another was proof enough that they've been in love for a lot longer than they realized.

Any additional comments?

This is my favorite Sports Romance series.

Laura is a c*nt

I get the protective sister bit but Laura was shady the entire book. Instead of being a grown up & discussing her hurt feelings she put her so called friend down every chance she got... that annoyed me!
Also Laura's high horse speech to Justin in text about how well she knows her sister was high handed & again I fail to see how someone who thinks so little of someone else can call that person their best friend. She clearly doesn't know her sister or Justin well. She better have an apology for him that's just as speechy

This is a sweet, enjoyable romance. It had me laughing out so loud I was getting stares from people ,as I listened with my headphones. I can't wait to read/listen to more of Lili's work.

Funny and sexy!

I really enjoyed this audiobook very much! There was a lot of humor and sweet sexy scenes in this story of a hockey player who falls in love with a kindergarten teacher while trying to help her feel less socially awkward. This is a perfect friends to lovers romance. The narration was quite well done and Tyler Donne's sardonic delivery style makes the book even better. It's only a sports romance on the periphery, just saying. Good listening for a Saturday!
