Blurb

A jilted book nerd, a plan for sweet revenge, and the two hockey stars who volunteer as her tributes in a sexy MFM standalone romantic comedy!

When I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me, I move out right away taking what I love most – my dog. As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best. The VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars.

I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.
Except, when I head out with the two hockey studs, they have something else in mind besides sweet revenge. Would I like to spend the night…with both of them?
Talk about the VIP experience. That’s what I get for one knee-weakening, sheet-grabbing night. In the morning, I plan to return to my bestie’s house to crash on her couch with my dog.
But when they learn what happened with my awful ex, they ask me to be their temporary roomie for the week. Oh, and one of them needs my help with his grumpy reputation. The other? Well, he wants me to be his fake date at an upcoming wedding.
Looks like I’m about to get double pucked. Again.
Double Pucked is a roomies to lovers, fake dating, image makeover, super spicy hockey rom com with a guaranteed why-choose style HEA! No swords cross. The two guys are all about HER all throughout! This story is perfect for fans of Lily Gold and Emily Rath!

Review

4 stars!

Trina learns her boyfriend is cheating in a surprising way and she enacts revenge by using her ex’s VIP hockey experience as her own even though she knows nothing about hockey. Through the tickets she meets her ex’s fave players, Chase and Ryker, and ends up getting a real VIP experience. Chase and Ryker want her to forget about her ex and that’s exactly what they do.

Double Pucked is the first book in the My Hockey Romance series, and it’s full of humor, heart, and heat giving us everything we want from a Blakely book. This book is fun and has so many amusing moments. Even the way she finds out she’s been cheated on is hilarious. It’s lighthearted with little drama and made for an easy, entertaining read.

And then there’s the sexy times. Trina has never been with two men at the same time so there is a bit of a learning curve but learn she does and she enjoys every minute. Chase and Ryker are patient and let Trina decide what she wants. The three of them really turn up the heat and grow sexually together.

It’s not all about what happens in the bedroom though. These guys are so sweet when I comes to Trina and I loved that they wanted to pamper her and give her what she deserves because everyone deserves to be truly loved. They support her and she learns who she is and what she wants while spending time with them.

I came to accept myself, and my own quirky, messy, making-it-up-as-I-go-along choices. Including the one to fall for two men. To imagine a future with two men. To see that as a bright, new possibility, with me and my two guys.

Of course feelings grow and things get complicated but somehow everything comes together just the way it’s supposed to. None of them knew what they needed until they realize just what life is like when the three of them are all together.

I don’t usually read MFM but I definitely enjoyed it and I couldn’t help but fall for both Chase and Ryker. Trina and her boys don’t have a conventional relationship but it works so well for them. I loved the epilogues and their HEA. I can’t forget to mention Nacho. I loved him!
