Both Alex and Violet are wonderful characters that worm their way into your heart.


What a great book this turned out to be and man I loved both of these character. But she wonders if she will be enough for Alex or is his career more important… But Alex slowly works down her barriers and before even realizing she is jumping head first into a relationship with Alex. But she knows what hockey players are like and she doesn’t want to be played by Alex. She is caught by his beautiful eyes and while at the after party with her family, she finds herself being thoroughly kissed by Alex who isn’t afraid of her weird nervous antics or her love of literature. While going to the first game to see her step brother in action, she catches the eye of one stunning hockey player…the team captain and the star of the game…Alex Water. Thanks to her step brother, she knows the reality of what hockey players really are and what players they are especially when there are any puck bunnies involved. Her step brother has signed with a new NHL team based in Chicago. Pucked begins with our heroine, Violet Hall. If you are new to Helena Hunting, I highly recommend this book. I found this book in the Audible Romance Package and I am so glad that I took a chance on this author because even though this book isn’t perfect….it was a fantastic book that I devoured. After listening to an author interview on a podcast, I really wanted to read a Helena Hunting and I thought I would start with Pucked, one of the more established books from her that is highly popular. I will be honest, even with my love of Hockey, I haven’t read too many hockey romances. Pucked by Helena Hunting is the first book in her Pucked series. The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn't want to be part of the game. Suddenly he's too difficult to ignore and nearly impossible not to like. And email and send extravagant - and quirky - gifts. Violet believes her night of orgasmic magic with Alex is just that: one night. Suffering from a complete lapse in judgment, Violet discovers just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet's misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match. So of course she isn't interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. Published by Helena Hunting on May 3, 2015
