Charming as Puck
By: Pippa Grant
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Savannah Peachwood
Do you want to laugh and fall in love? Then this is the story for you! Pippa Grant’s Charming as Puck will make you laugh out loud, fall for a hockey player and want a cowdog for a pet! Nick is the goalie for the Thrusters, and he forgets his best friend with benefits and veterinarian, Kami’s birthday. Kami wants more from Nick, but clearly, if he can’t even remember her birthday, he has no interest in anything more. No longer happy with the situation, she distances herself from him. Will he realize his true feelings for Kami now? This story is heart warming and full of hysterically funny moments. The team is around with a few animal pranks, family with sage advice and a cow named Sugarbear that stole my heart. Give me a great sports romance, friends with benefits romance any day. It’s a feel good romance that is written smartly and purely entertaining.
Jason Clarke and Savannah Peachwood are the narrating team, and they scored a goal with their performance! Clarke is strong, yet vulnerable, funny and brings out all the feels in Nick. Kami is stubborn, but Peachwood gives her a soft side as her walls begin to crack. The two have incredible comedic timing adding so much to the humor and give all the emotion to make us frustrated and fall in love.

Kami has had a secret crush on Nick since high school and a secret relationship with him for the last few months. But Nick is totally self-absorbed – the only other thing truly important to him is hockey. When he forgets Kami’s birthday, she is forced to discontinue the relationship and finally admit that she is merely incidental in his life. Once gone, Nick’s game falls apart and he loses his good luck charm. And so starts the journey to self-discovery and what is really important in his life. Of course, in a Pippa book, this is not cut and dried and not simple. With the addition of Sugarbear the cow, several dogs, cats and chickens plus cousin Muffy, her crazy mother, AND the Johnson-Wankers, true love cannot run smooth. But it is one heck of a ride! Laugh, cry, feel! Another Pippa winning goal!
Love cow-dog.
I was laughing so hard! The pranks were a hoot! I liked that Nick finally dug his head out of the sand and went after Kami.
Royal Rapscallion felled in this charming, hilarious, sexy love story
Manning and Gracie are adorable! First, he is definitely not the playboy I expected from Zeus’ book. Second, who knew hiccups could be a turn on? Third, how soon can we expect Ares’ book? 😉 If you’re looking for a sweet, funny, sexy, unexpected pregnancy, already betrothed but in love with another, royal romance…this is your book! Dickookie hilarity and dinasor costume fun included! A fantastic addition to Pippa’s bookiverse. HEA guaranteed.
Pippa Grant has become one of my favourite ‘go to’ authors for fun, laugh out loud books that have heart and heat that are just overall great reads.
Charming as Puck was no exception and I loved Nick and Kami and how their relationship changed from FwB to something more but I was kinda peeved that it took Nick nearly losing her to make him get his head on straight and see what he really wanted!
With the now required appearance of Nick’s crazy teammates and their significant others, this was a great read and I’m looking forward to more in this standalone series!
This book was amazing! It had everything from hot hockey players to farm animals. I started laughing on page one and giggled throughout the rest of the book. I easily fell in love with Nick, Kami and Sugarbear!
If you are looking for a fun sports romance, I highly recommend Charming as Puck!
Once again, Pippa Grant has delivered a book that not only made me laugh, but also made me fall in love with love all over again. Kami and Nick have a friends with benefits relationship going until Kami realizes Nick is never going to see her as more. Deciding she deserves better, she breaks things off only to have Nick realize that he needs Kami in his life. Watching him prove that he does love her and needs her is both humorous and beautiful. I love reformed a-holes and Nick is one of the best ever written. Throw in a cow-dog, Zeus and Ares and the rest of the Thrusters and you have my top read of the month. Well done Pippa, this book has just become my new favorite.
What can I say? This is a Pippa Grant book and it shows. It was fun and sexy.
This book was exactly what I hoped it would be and more! The characters and storyline were great. I had many laugh out loud moments (Sugarbear was precious). In addition, the chemistry between Nick & Kami was off the charts perfect (sigh).
This is the first book I’ve read by Pippa Grant. Pretty sure it won’t be the last. But come on, I had to. Really!? He wakes up with a baby cow in his bed.
Nick and Kami were friends with benefits, but Kami decides she’s done. She wants more than Nick seems willing to give and since she’s a veterinarian, she tired of “cleaning up” the Thrusters animal pranks. And now, Nick can’t stop a puck on the ice. But really he figures out he really misses Kami in his life, and so begins Nicks apology/wooing campaign. Nick doesn’t know how to do anything small scale.
This book will make you feel and make you laugh. For one thing, the calf doesn’t go away. Charming as Puck was one of the most entertaining books I’ve read in a while.
Nick Murphy, hockey player, sister to the Ventriloquist Felicity, hot but unfortunately self-centered. Nick only worries about Nick. One morning he wakes up to a cow in bed, well calf. Why you ask? The Berger brothers, mostly Zeus. Nick then calls Kami for help. Kami is one of Felicity’s best friends & she and Nick have been friends with benefits for a while. Kami is also a veterinarian & the person the whole team calls when pranks with animals happen. Nick does his normal think of only himself thing & hurts Kami. You need to read the big to learn how. Needless to say, she ends things with him. This is a wake up for Nick who starts to realize how much Kami means to him. Thankfully, Kami doesn’t make it easy on him. Both characters do a lot of growing through the book & it was a wonderful story! I highly recommend it.
OMG! HYSTERICAL!!! I love every one of Pippa’s books, they get better and better every time. Charming is no exception, this is my favorite so far! I love the hysterics between Zeus and Nick, can I laugh any harder, I do not think so! Of course there is a special kind of love story thrown in there, that has you laughing too! But the best is the dog-cow, love that she can take a prank and turn it to the best pet ever!!!
Keep them coming Pippa!!!
This was my first read from Pippa Grant and now I am going to have to go back and binge her whole shelf! Loved this light, sexy and so fun hockey romance!!
This book was full of pure shenanigans that I have come to love in a Pippa Grant book. I have been rooting for Kami and Nick since the seed was planted that she had a thing for him. This book had me running through a gamut of feelings from hilarity to anger and everything between. I also liked that we got to see a lot of some of my favorite Pippa characters like Zeuss, Ares, and Felicity. This was a fun book and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one!
If you want a great rom-com you can never go wrong with a Pippa Grant book. I have not had the opportunity to read all of her books but something about Charming as Puck called to me. I love stories that involve a bit of unrequited love. Kami and Nick has had a secret friends with benefits type relationship for the past eight months, but Kami feels so much more for Nick and wanted more. Unfortunately, it seems to Kami that Nick just doesn’t feel that way. All Nick really cares about is having fun and hockey. So Kami decides to call it quits and decides to move on, going so far as being set up on horrible dates. This does not bode well for Nick. He can’t stop thinking about Kami and now his game is suffering. He finally realizes Kami means more to him and the antics he pulls to get her back is inspiring and hilarious!! Kami is such a wonderful character, I loved how she felt a bit inadequate with all her genius family members but she also knew her self-worth and knew she deserved better. Nick was a bit of a pain in the beginning, wanted to knock him across his head a few times, but when he finally got his head straight about Kami, I loved him!! He is definitely a charmer and sexy as all heck but he is so extremely sweet too.
I really loved everything about his book and Sugarbear the cow puppy tops the cake. Pippa always has the cutest and greatest furbabies!! Such a great story from the beginning to the very end.
5 Stars to Charming as Puck by Pippa Grant
First off let me just say I LOVE THE TITLE of this book . How great is it. Pippa Grant is great at making her book title just grab your attention . Let me tell you this book deserves your attention . Nick and Kami are great and hilarious characters . I want to be friends with all of the characters in this book . The pranks they play on each other are great . O and I totally now want a pet cow/dog. lol
Nick is your everyday playboy who has only ever cared about himself . He doesn’t think about anyone other than him . Kami is the nice girl who everyone loves and she helps everyone. These two have been having a friends with benefits relationship until Nick forgets Kami’s birthday . She thought he would someday fall for her . Well she is done , and walks away from Nick . The boy she has loved for as long as she can remeber , the boy who has never loved her back . Can Nick realise what he has lost before it is to late.
I am telling you , you can not go wrong with this book . If you are a fan of ROM COMS then this book as for you as is pretty much every other book by Pippa.
‘ve read some of Pippa’s books before, and also from this series. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
I love the humour that she puts behind her books, the characters, the storyline, just everything.
Nick is all about himself, and hockey. That’s it. Oh and the occasional hookup with his sisters bestie Kami!
Kami has been in love with Nick for some time, but when he forgets her bday, she just can’t take it any more. It’s always been about Nick, and the Thrusters. Mainly about Nick.
Kami is the local vet and she’s always having to rescue the animals that the hockey players play pranks on each other with. And when Nick calls to help with a calf in his condo, she LOSES it!! And I don’t blame her one bit. After forgetting her bday and having to deal with Sugarbear, she gives Nick the silent treatment.
Nick can’t take it, and the longer it goes on, the more he realises that he may not only miss Kami for the amazing, mind blowing sex, but actually misses her, and might even be in love with her!
Even Nicks friends and family are hating on him big time cause of what he’s done with Kami.
Nick finds out Muffy has been setting Kami up on dates, and he HATES IT!! Kami realises that no one is like Nick, and Muffy can’t match to save her life!
One thing leads to another, and Nick tracks Kami down to apologise, and this is after he’s sent 30 things a day for 30 days to Kami to try to make up for forgetting her bday.
I love the moment when Nick realises he might actually be in love, and his who demeanour changed. I loved it!!!
Then Kami comes around, and BAM!! I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! I love the epilogues as usual. And yes plural. I think it really made it the book!
Some of my fave quotes
1. “I’m gonna match your muff so hard and fast, you won’t know what hit it.” – ROFL!! Oh Muffy!!! You crack me up!
2. I don’t know why the Thrusters thought he needed charm school, because he shoots charm out of his nostrils just by breathing. – ROFL!!! Well he could charm the panties off a nun.
3. Clearly, I needed to have a come to Jesus meeting with my vagina. – Kami can’t get over the amazing sex with Nick.
4. Kami. With an I. And she’s all heart. – Nick knows now how special Kami is!
5. “She would’ve blown you all the way to Kentucky.” – Just loved it cause that’s where I’m from!
6. “Nice try, but your baby is half Berger. It’ll be fine. Your coach after birth though….” – I died laughing. Poor Felicity!
OMG! HYSTERICAL!!! I love every one of Pippa’s books, they get better and better every time. Charming is no exception, this is my favorite so far! I love the hysterics between Zeus and Nick, can I laugh any harder, I do not think so! Of course there is a special kind of love story thrown in there, that has you laughing too! But the best is the dog-cow, love that she can take a prank and turn it to the best pet ever!!!
Keep them coming Pippa!!!
I think in the Mister McHottie world of books, Charming as Puck is my favorite. Nick and Kami are on the down low until something happens to make Kami realize she wants to be valued as more. Will Nick see what he had right under his nose or has he taken a few too many pucks to the noggin? In true Pippa style, this story is filled with pranks, cute animals and sweet moments.
