Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I swear I only asked\u00a0one<\/em>\u00a0hot hockey-playing friend to give me romance lessons for the week, but\u00a0three<\/em>\u00a0hockey stars volunteered\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The post breakup plan was simple \u2013 escape from my toxic ex to a vacation rental and stay far away from men.<\/p>\n

But thanks to a booking snafu I\u2019m accidentally sharing it with three hot hockey players.\u00a0One\u2019s flirty, one\u2019s broody, one\u2019s a cheeky Brit,<\/strong>\u00a0and they\u2019re all the most attentive men I\u2019ve ever met.<\/p>\n

After a couple of glasses of champagne, I\u2019m telling them about the contest my ex is running on his dating advice web site. The topic? What makes a great boyfriend, and I want to submit a column.<\/p>\n

All three offer to show me\u00a0every single thing<\/em>\u00a0I\u2019ve been missing in and out of bed.<\/p>\n

We make a deal for one week only. It\u2019s only for revenge, of course. I work for the other hockey team in the city so it\u2019d be a big mistake to truly get involved with a rival, let alone\u00a0three<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though I\u00a0melt\u00a0<\/strong>under their touch. They show me what it means to be adored, cherished and\u00a0romanced.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But as the week ticks on, what started as revenge fast turns into me giving my heart to three men I can\u2019t have. Looks like I\u2019m\u00a0well and truly pucked<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

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

Well and Truly Pucked<\/i>\u00a0is last book in the\u00a0My Hockey Romance<\/i>\u00a0series and it takes things up a notch in the bedroom giving us a sweet, spicy relationship between Briar and three hockey players who never thought they\u2019d have a chance with her.<\/p>\n

It all starts out with a broken heart, a stolen cat, and a way to get back at a cheating ex. When Briar is basically kicked out of her boyfriend\u2019s apartment because he found someone new, she doesn\u2019t have a place to go. Worse than that though is the fact that her ex refuses to give her back her cat. Frustrated and sad, Briar isn\u2019t prepared for the three hot hockey players who stop and offer her help to get the cat back. And while they part ways after the mission is complete, she never expected to be holed up in the only rental she could find with the same three hot hockey guys.<\/p>\n

When Briar\u2019s ex puts out a contest about what makes a good boyfriend, an idea that Briar came up with, she knows she wants to enter. She\u2019s been working on a yoga fitness app and the prize money is just what she needs to help jump start things. And better to help her with her entry than three willing and able guys who would be perfect for the job.<\/p>\n

Briar is adorable and Rhys, Gavin, and Hollis never stood a chance. When she is stuck with them for a week, they go all in and show her just how a woman should be treated and what really makes a good boyfriend.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that Briar is attracted to all three guys but she doesn\u2019t think there\u2019s a chance that all three would want to have some fun for the contest. The sexual tension is there especially because though Rhys and Hollis have shared before, Gavin hasn\u2019t been part of it but you can still tell that he wants in. She wants all three yet she doesn\u2019t know how it will work. She has nothing to fear though because when these three take control, it\u2019s intense and hot, and sexually charged.<\/p>\n

The contest brought them together and all three guys show Briar what it means to dote on her. To make her feel special all while meaning it. Each one brings something different to the relationship and I love that Briar appreciates them for who they are. For what their pasts made them become. They listened to each other, opened up to each other, and gave Briar something she was missing.<\/p>\n

Not only did I love the guys with Briar, but I loved all three together as friends and teammates. They are easygoing but you know they always have each other\u2019s backs. The banter between them as well with Briar was fantastic and I just adored them. I also loved getting cameos of the other couples we\u2019ve met along the well.<\/p>\n

Overall, I really enjoyed this story as well at the whole series!!<\/p>\n
