Pucked Under

There are some series, that once they are finished, even if you've loved and adored them, you're okay with the fact that it's all come to an end. But that's not the case with the Pucked series. I don't want this series to ever end. I don't want to say good-bye to these characters. I don't want to think I'll never hear from them again. If Helena continued to write about Lily and Randy, Alex and Violet, Darren and Charlene, Lance and whichever woman he ends up with, and the parents, until they were all old and gray, I would read every single word and still want more.So imagine my excitement when Pucked Under was announced! Not only were we getting more, we were getting more of my most favorite Pucked couple, Randy and Lily. Oh how I love them.I am so happy to see them settling into their relationship as a couple- they don’t take each other for granted and really work to show how much they love each other. They are tested just a bit in this book, with hockey season gearing up to start and Randy’s unwanted father making an appearance. Mixed in with all the fun and laughter, and of course the sexy time, there are also tears and some heart-tugging angst that will just make you fall deeper in love with these 2.We get to see a different side to Randy in Pucked Under, a more vulnerable and insecure side that just sent me over the edge. He’s so completely endearing in this story. I didn’t think it was possible to love him more after Pucked Over but I was oh so wrong, I’ve discovered that my love for him is limitless and infinite. And Lily, Lily is so perfect for him- if she was real I would be beyond jealous that she gets to share her life with him. I love the love the share. And I loved how fierce Luscious Lily can be when it comes to her man. I just flat out freaking love everything when it comes to Randy and Lily.I only used a variation of the word love 10 times in those 3 paragraphs, I don't think that is too over-the-top.It was so great to see the rest of the Pucked gang again as well- there's never a dull moment with these crazy kids. The antics, the banter, the sexiness, it's all perfection. Helena has really given us a gift with these characters she's created, and I hope she has a never-ending supply of Pucked stories to share with us.Reviewed for The Book Enthusiast.

The gang is back & I could not be happier. This could be considered the continuation of Lily and Randy’s story but it’s also so much more. In Pucked Under, we get a little bit of everything that we have loved about this series from the beginning.It’s the off-season, so the couples have decided to go to Alex’s cottage in Chicago for the weekend. Can’t you just image all the TMI moments to come? Lily and Randy are madly in love, still have oh my god amazing sex, and are enjoying the new stage in their relationship. Alex and Violet are their normal fun loving adorable selfies. Buck and Sunny are adjusting to Sunny’s pregnancy hormones. Now what in the blue hell is going on between Darren and Charlene is the question. I think I know but there is just something about Charlene that I’m not connecting with and I’m just not sure about her. I love that we finally got to know Darren a little bit more in this book. I can’t wait for his story. And Lance my Lance, he needs to find the one & please please don’t let it be Tash. I seriously want to hit that bitch.The star of this book for me was Randy. He just completely stole my heart. The scene where he went all Alpha male while Lily was working was so cute, funny, and hot. While he may seem to be this tough hockey player, there's another side to him. He is dealing with a few insecurities and when he comes home from the weekend getaway to find an unexpected guest, he now has no choice but to face some of his fears. But fear not because Lily will be right by his side. I’m sorry Alex and Violet, but Randy and Lily are now my favorite couple of the series.The day that this series ends, I think I am going to have to go cry in a dark corner because I will never be ready to say to goodbye this awesome group of characters.

HOLY BALLS! THIS WAS HOT AND STEAMY AND EMOTIONAL AND AHHHH!Once again the incredibly talented Helena Hunting has created a masterpiece! When I begun reading the Pucked series I was sure Helena couldn't out do herself until I came across Randy who completely stole my heart especially in this book the 5th book of the series.We get to look further into Randy and Lily's life and feel the emotions they feel and live through their lives with them. There's not many books that make me feel like I'm reading a real life story but this one did everything felt so real. From the moment you start reading Pucked Under the world around you disappears and all that matters are these chapters. We get to see the group together as they spend time away for the weekend at the cottage and violets humour keeps you entertained.This series is one that will stay with me forever and be my go-to for a good laugh. I love all these characters and I can't wait for more.

You should know that Helena Hunting is an automatic 1 click author for me. I love her characters because they are multi layered and even when I'm well into a series they surprise me. I think I have the measure of them and then they throw me for a loop because you see a new angle to them.I was so looking forward to this novella (still a decent length read) which catches us up with Randy (be still my kindle heart....and swoon) and Lily. I was fascinated at how they almost switch places. Lily was truly kick ass awesome, protecting her man. (Lily is my fave heroine in this series and this novella cemented that). Randy became quite introspective and needed his woman to get him through a hard time. His vulnerability tugged at my heartstrings.Great to see the rest of the gang but OMG I need, NEED I TELL YOU, Darren & Charlene's story. I have no clue if we get one but I am itching to know more about dark, dominant Darren & his girl. Oh, and Lance.....what is going on there???There is A LOT of sex in this book. There is a huge amount of chemistry between Randy & Lily. Lots of swearing too so recommend over 18's only. Also, I suggest you read the other books first or you will struggle to get all the nuances and backstory's.Finally- just to say I love Randy & Lily's version of a HEA.... these two don't conform to society's expectations....and Ms Hunting far exceeded mine.

Absolute explicit smutty goodness with not a whole amount of depth to it, but enough to make it still feel like there’s a plot with good sex scenes not just all sex scenes with no plot.I ADORE Lily and Randy and it was so good just reading more about their relationship and seeing more things in their lives. If I could ask for a whole Randy and lily series I would (so you know Helena if you read these, more randy and lily PLEASE)I really like the dual POV as I love getting the guys perspective on things as well and Randy is this really special, vulnerable sweet guy deep down so that was great to see.Definitely rated 18 tho 🔥🔥🔥TWs:alcoholism with a family member

Randy and Lily are finally living together, strengthening their bond and having time of sex. When they join the rest of the gang for a weekend away they get more than they bargained for when Randy loses his phone! When tentative home, it's to Randy's father crashing in their house! What happens when tensions get high? What happens when Randy Senior has an accident? This was a good read that combined humour with angst and some ice skating thrown in

There is so much I love about this book and this series, so obviously got alpha males who play sports are top of my list lol but I like that we get to see more of the couples we fell in love with in the first few books and that each couple have different kinds of love and that’s ok! It’s normal! Everyone will have someone they can relate to in this series I just love it and it is such a joy to read!

This book has just reaffirmed what I already knew that Randy and Lily are my favourite Pucked couple. In Pucked Under we see how the couple deal with the pressure of a steady relationship amongst work, family and friends. Along with the usual mad cap antics and funny one lineers we also get to see the more vulnerable side to Randy which I really enjoyed !!!Can't wait for Lance's book !
