Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trina learns her boyfriend is cheating in a surprising way and she enacts revenge by using her ex\u2019s VIP hockey experience as her own even though she knows nothing about hockey. Through the tickets she meets her ex\u2019s 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\u2019s exactly what they do.<\/p>\n

Double Pucked<\/i> is the first book in the My Hockey Romance<\/i><\/a> series, and it\u2019s 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\u2019s been cheated on is hilarious. It\u2019s lighthearted with little drama and made for an easy, entertaining read.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course feelings grow and things get complicated but somehow everything comes together just the way it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t usually read MFM but I definitely enjoyed it and I couldn\u2019t help but fall for both Chase and Ryker. Trina and her boys don\u2019t have a conventional relationship but it works so well for them. I loved the epilogues and their HEA. I can\u2019t forget to mention Nacho. I loved him!<\/p>\n
