Being engaged to Alex Waters, team captain and the highest paid NHL player in the league, is awesome. How could it not be?In addition to being an amazing hockey player, he’s an incurable romantic with an XL heart, and an XXL hockey stick in his pants. And he knows how to use it. Incredibly, orgasmically well. Alex is the whole package and more. Literally. Like his package is insane. Total world … Total world record holder material.
So it makes complete sense that Violet Hall can’t wait to nail him down to the matrimonial mattress and become Mrs. Violet Waters.
It’s so romantic.
Violet is totally stoked to set a date.
Eventually. At some point. Likely before the next millennium. Or when Violet stops getting hives every time someone brings up the wedding, and their mothers stop colluding on stadium sized venues. Whichever comes first.

Vi & Alex’s journey to & down the aisle
The hilarious, sweet story of how Alex finally gets Vi down the aisle. Some
harrowing moments, lots of funny and inappropriate with the moms & friends.
Hives, Super MC, vajazzling, Las Vegas, and lots of love and fun!
I have loved Violet and Alex from the first book “Pucked” and was so excited that we were getting more of them in Forever Pucked! you know, when you expect so much from a book and hope it meets your expectations, it really did! I loved it from beginning until end and just could’t get enough. I read it in one sitting! it was hot, sexy, sweet AND again so funny 🙂 but it had an emotional twist/side to it and it made it even better. I just love the dynamic between Violet & Alex, the love they share. Don’t think I could ever get enough of it. I would give this more than 5 stars; that’s how good it was. Definitely a must read if you loved Pucked and this series like I did 🙂 Still, I hope to somehow get more and who knows maybe we can get the author to give us Lance’s story! either way, a must read for me!
I’m obsessed with Violet. She’s the kind of character you want to be best friends with. I’m so glad she was able to lock down Alex’s fuck hot body and Super MC.
Préparez vous à retrouver Alex et Violet comme vous les aimez et suivez les vers de nouvelles péripéties qui les mèneront peut être vers le mariage.
J’ai de nouveau ri en lisant tous les propos qui sortaient de la bouche de Violet. Cette jeune femme ne dispose d’aucun filtre et tous les sujets sont abordés de manière naturelle peu importe la personne qu’elle a en face d’elle. Dans le 3ème tome , Pucked Over, nous avions pu retrouver Violet et Alex en pleine fiançailles mais un souci de grande taille avait fait son apparition : elle avait une réaction allergique virulente dès que le mot mariage était avancé. Il faut dire qu’entre sa mère et sa belle mère, il y avait de quoi attraper des boutons. Dans ce nouveau tome , nous retrouvons donc ce sacré couple et ce dernier va faire face à de nouveaux bouleversements.
Violet travaille , comme vous le savez peut être , dans un cabinet de comptable qui gère les comptes notamment des plus grands joueurs de la NHL. Elle fait partie , comme Charlene , Dean et Jimmy, des plus jeunes recrues et lorsque son patron Mr Stroker lui propose de faire une présentation pour obtenir la gestion du portefeuille du célèbre joueur Mr Darcy Mitch, elle est à la fois heureuse et emplie de peur. Violet est une personne qui , malgré les apparences , doute fortement d’elle et de ses capacités. Ainsi ce nouveau défi est une bonne chose pour elle même si ce ne sera pas du goût d’Alex. En effet son investissement pourrait encore réduire les moments passés à deux entre deux matchs. Violet va donc rester égale à elle même dans ce nouveau tome et j’ai adoré les jeux de mots qui passent formidablement bien en VO. J’émets de nouveau un doute sur la future traduction française car il est à mon sens très difficile de rendre les jeux de mots faits à partir d’expression typiquement canadienne. Je n’ai lu cette saga qu’en VO mais j’ai l’impression qu’en VF , le rendu est plus vulgaire. Alors oui Violet n’a pas sa langue dans sa poche mais cela fait partie de son caractère et cela ne fait absolument pas d’elle une fille facile.
Les scènes de sexe sont donc très intenses et multiples dans ce nouveau tome. Je dirais même qu’à un moment donné , j’ai trouvé qu’il y en avait un peu trop. Certes la dynamique du couple formé par Violet et Alex fonctionne avec une libido intense mais j’aurais apprécié un tout petit peu moins de sexe. Attention , je ne dis pas qu’Helena Hunting écrit mal les scènes de sexe, loin de là. Elle fait un travail très intéressant mais j’aurais juste aimé que ce couple passe un tout petit peu moins de temps à se sauter dessus. Cela conforte mon idée que le meilleur tome de la saga est pour moi celui qui sortira en mai en VF Perfect Boy. J’avais trouvé très intéressant le cheminement du couple que Miller alias Buck formait avec Sunny. Ce sentiment est renforcé par les nouvelles que nous avons d’eux dans ce nouveau tome.
Alex reste le parfait gentleman en toute occasion même si ici on découvre un autre aspect de sa personnalité. Nous l’avions découvert dans Hard Boy et nous avions toute succombé à son charme. Ici , il montre un aspect de sa personnalité un peu moins parfait et cela rend le personnage encore plus intéressant. Alex n’est pas que cet homme très actif sexuellement , toujours prêt à satisfaire les moindres besoins de sa tendre fiancée. Il montre aussi un peu de défaut. Tout d’abord, j’ai été un peu surprise par son côté macho et sa réaction assez égoïste vis à vis de la situation professionnelle de Violet. On sent que c’est un homme qui a toujours pu passer en premier dans de nombreuses situations et pour une fois , on aimerait qu’il cesse de penser à sa petite personne . Alors oui son attitude va fort heureusement évoluer au fil du temps mais tout de même , on découvre un aspect que je n’avais pour ma part pas détecté auparavant. Un événement très important va également bouleverser le cours de l’intrigue et si vous avez regardé le book trailer de Forever Pucked , vous trouverez aisément de quoi il s’agit . Je n’en dirais pas plus pour ne pas vous spoiler mais sachez que cela montrera la force de caractère d’Alex tout en mettant ses nerfs à rude épreuve.
Nous retrouvons bien évidemment tous les personnages des précédents tomes et c’est un vrai régal . On apprend à les apprécier dans les tomes précédents et les retrouver tous ici nous offrent de superbes scènes. Quand les filles se retrouvent ensemble pour plusieurs scènes, les répliques sont à la fois hilarantes et épiques. Charlene est comme Violet et rien n’est tabou pour elle , même pas la fameuse zone 51 de Violet. Imaginez les donc dans un magasin de sex toys ! Elles sont à mourir de rire. Lily et Randy sont toujours aussi fusionnels et je dirais qu’ils mettent la barre haute en ce qui concerne leur ébats . Il n’y a pas de doute ces deux là se sont trouvés et la compétition entre Randy et Alex sera à la fois sur la glace mais aussi avec leur chère et tendre. Charlene et Darren forment donc un autre couple et ils ont aussi leur propre vision du couple. Ils sont moins expansifs et démonstratifs que nos serial fucker mais ne sont pourtant pas en reste niveau sexuel. Et évidemment on retrouve mon couple chouchou à savoir Miller et Sunny. Je trouve qu’une nouvelle fois ils font preuve de sagesse et montrent de manière surprenant la voie. Le couple de premier abord improbable est toujours le plus attachant pour moi.
Bref, vous passerez un bon moment de franche rigolade avec les nouvelles péripéties d’Alex et Violet. Ces deux là n’ont pas fini de nous faire rire mais ce ne sera pas la seule émotion que vous vivrez en lisant Forever Pucked. Helena Hunting nous permet de retrouver tous les personnages de cette super saga .
Helena created Violet Marie Hall and we are never the same again !
Shes cute, Sassy, inappropriate, funny, witty , stumbling and sweet girl .
in this book Alex Waters and her are planning to get married. Each and every word out of her mouth makes me spit my beverage out. She’s THAT funny!!. I seriously think her and Alex ‘s book should be made into a movie !!!!. Helena is a terrific writer and I loved…loved…loved the book
I want to have a drinking game for every time Violet says beaver, Super MC and Area 51. I’d be under the table drooling by the 4th chapter. I just love that girl so much! I could read about all of these charters in this series a million times and it will never get old. Funny, sweet, sexy and chock-full of shenanigans makes this the perfect book for me!
Only Alex and Violet can turn a pretty serious situation into one that’s funny and entertaining without meaning too, “the next time the nurse comes in to check on me, she gives me a look. I’m holding Violet’s boob, and her hand is conveniently covering my ***k. Whatever. I don’t care. I have what I need right beside me.” I loved seeing the gang again, I missed them.
“It’s amazing how a poorly thought-out one-night stand can turn into a forever kind of love.
Because that’s exactly what Alex is: my forever.
Beaver

Super MC” –Violet
FOREVER PUCKED was adorably HILARIOUS! Helena Hunting brought back her never-ending hilarity and gave us an emotionally packed HEA for Alex and Violet. There was no lack of amusement throughout the entire book. From the MC & beaver dress up scenes to the s*x toy shop…there were plenty of LOL moments to keep you snickering all night long. Besides the entertainment factor of the book, there was also heart-felt moments that gave you a slight “we’re not guaranteed tomorrow, so we should for today” vibe. It made for a more in-depth understand and meaning to the book and characters and I, for one, loved seeing a different side to Violet and Alex’s characters. Violet and Alex may have started out as a one-night stand, but they most definitely are meant for each other and Helena proved that in FOERVER PUCKED <3 This was the perfect conclusion to Alex and Violet’s story and I was sad to see it end. Hopefully there will be more of these 2 and the other characters in the future from Helena (like Darren & Charlene or Lance) Helena seemed to layer on a lot more descriptive qualities for Darren & Charlene and Lance’s characters in FOREVER PUCKED to suggest potential books for them in the future…only time will tell I guess. Here’s to hoping! *fingers crossed*
5 stars
Oh my when I started this series with Pucked, it was because I was reading it for one of the book clubs I am in. What quickly caught my attention was a well written and funny romantic comedy. After reading the first book at first I was going to jump ahead to this book but decided I should read books 2 and 3 before. I am glad I did. This book can be read without reading Pucked Off and Pucked Over but honestly why would you? This book had me laughing , crying so happy and looking at book 5 with is more Randy and Lily oh yes and I I hope for Darren and Charlene’s story at some point please! Why am I not telling you more about this book well if I do it would tell you the storyline and well that is just not something i do. I will tell you it is one extremely well written book that will catch you up on all your favorite hockey players and their loves.
FINALLY
Ok I think I’m finally ready to like Violet. Even though I think she’s hysterical I’ve considered her very selfish and childlike in the way she treats Alex. So she’s redeeming herself in my eyes.
I was really excited to read this because it’s a sequel to the first book so a continuation of Violet and Alex’s story. Like the original, it’s adorable. These are two of my favorite characters and I couldn’t wait to read more about them. The engagement is dragging on because their moms are driving Violet crazy with the wedding planning. She wants something small with just their closest family and friends because she’s terrified of humiliating herself after what happened at her mom’s wedding.
Violet refuses to discuss what happened so while Alex is sympathetic, he’s also stressed that the wedding planning is going nowhere. But once Miller shows him a video of Skye and Sidney’s wedding, Alex steps in to shield her from Daisy and Skye because it’s obvious why Violet opposes anything extravagant. The moms ignore him but when Alex suffers a severe, potentially career-ending injury, Violet’s shaken. She realizes that putting off the wedding is the last thing she wants because life can change in an instant and she truly can’t wait to be Mrs. Alex Waters.
The immediate aftermath of Alex’s injury is probably as heavy as this series and it’s emotional but also a lovely testament to Violet and Alex’s love. It’s heartwarming to see their friends and family step up to support them and Lance in particular earns a special place in Violet’s heart because he avenges his captain at the cost of a five-game suspension but has no regrets.
They plan a joint bachelor/bachelorette trip to Vegas with all their friends and while there, decide to get married now. Alex flies in their parents for the occasion and the girls have fun dress shopping. There are some hilarious scenes when the ladies get dragged into sex shops by Skye and Daisy. Things are perfect except that Alex is struggling to find a venue that’s not a 24/7 chapel with a connected annulment center. To everyone’s surprise, Lance announces that he was ordained on the internet to do a friend a favor and offers to officiate. Alex finds a church and surprises Violet by making arrangements with her boss to whisk her off for a two-week Hawaiian honeymoon on their wedding night. More hilarity ensues when Violet surprises Alex with costumes for Super MC and the Beaver to have their own wedding ceremony since those two are also soulmates.
Despite Alex’s injuries and the long-term repercussions, it’s a happy story about their devotion to one another, especially with all the love and support they receive from their friends and family. It’s another great story in the Pucked series and I thoroughly enjoyed it as much as the others, although I’m sad to be so close to the end. So far, I’ve loved each book as much as or more than the last and am really looking forward to the others, even though I hate that feeling when a series is done and I have to accept that there are no more stories about the characters I’ve come to love.
This is like one big giant epilogue and I am here for it. Loved getting this extra fun glimpse in Alex and Violet’s journey to their HEA. Violet was her typical off the wall ridiculous unfiltered loveable mess and Alex was the amazing loveable man that he is. I adored this book.

I think the more story I get from Alex and Violet the more I enjoy them! When I first read Pucked, I had never read a book with characters that quirky but all their eccentric ways have definitely grown on me! This story starts off on a more serious tone than I was expecting but I thought it provided depth to the book versus it just being a lighthearted story about this quirky couple. The situation this couple is put in shows a different side to these characters but one thing that hasn’t changed is the deep connection they have and the love that they have for each other.
Have no fear because there is still a lot of humor that goes on especially when all the couples get together on vacation! Not only did I enjoy seeing each couple with their own unique mannerisms, but I could not get over the way this group of friends interacted with each other. Violet is unapologetically open and blunt which often starts hilarious conversations within the group. The couples frequently tease the other couples about their bedroom habits (or bathroom habits in Lily and Randy’s case). Lastly, throw in scenes like the girls all taking a trip to an adult store and it seemed like there wasn’t a dull moment in this book!
In the end, I couldn’t be happier with the wedding Alex and Violet ended up having as I thought it was perfect and just what they needed! I was pleasantly surprised to see a calmer, caring, and loyal side to Lance in this book and it’s definitely peaked my interest for his story!
Favorite Quotes:
Coming home to an empty house is like spraining a wrist while watching porn: frustrating and unsatisfying. -Violet
“What do you do, Alex Waters?”
“I love you.”
“I will always love you, Violet. I won’t ever be perfect, and I’ll make mistakes, and I’ll definitely say things that will make you angry, but I promise to tell you every day, not just with words, but with actions, that you are the center of my universe. You’re the sun in my sky and the breath in my lungs. I promise to be yours for every second of this existence, and to cherish every moment of that love with you.” -Alex
Another Alex and Violet novel! I think these two are my favorites in this series. So I was thrilled to get a second book!
Beaver & Super MC FOREVER!!!
You all know Alex and Violet. If not they are the couple from the first book of the series ‘Pucked’. Alex is a sexy, successful hockey player who is the captain of Hawks. I loved how he pursued Violet until he finally convinced her to be with him. He is also the ultimate romantic. He cannot wait to marry Violet. Even though, Violet cannot wait to be Mrs. Water, she is afraid to set a date. She gets really nervous in front of crowds and after what happened in her mother’s wedding, she is afraid the she will do something that will embarrass her and Alex during the ceremony. Because of this, she starts getting hives every time someone brings up the wedding. Alex is trying to smooth things but his and Violet’s moms are not really helpful for his cause because they’re all in for a huge wedding, which scares Violet a lot.
‘Forever Pucked’ is a sweet, sexy and funny story. If you still haven’t read the series and looking for something sweet, sexy, lighthearted and funny to read, I totally recommend you to start reading it.
Would I recommend this book: Yes
Would I re-read this book: Already did
Would I read future books by this author: Yes
In this follow up story, we get more into the happily ever after of Alex Waters and Violet Hall. While it’s not necessary to read anything but Pucked prior to this, you’ll appreciate the rest of the characters even more if you read them in order.
Violet wants to marry Alex, of course she does, but she doesn’t want the big to do that goes along with it. She wants small and intimate. Her and Alex’s moms don’t seem to care what the soon to be bride & groom want, let’s just add two more people every hour to the guest list!!
On a spontaneous get away trip, they find themselves jumping the gun and just getting married with their friends and parents. It’s the perfect happily ever after for those two, who just want to love each other.
Loved it !!!!
I absolutely adore EVERYTHING about this couple Alex and Violet…Hell I love everyone of the Pucked boys and their Ladies.
Centered around the up and coming wedding of Alex and Violet,there are the usual shenanigans and Violet and her quirky behaviour which I love…but also we see the caring side of her as she helps Alex recover from an injury….plus ther is controlling mothers, loyal hilarious friends and lots of steamy sexy times.
This story made me Laugh,cry and swoon honestly Alex is Just Perfect..the book boyfriend of my dreams…
This is a great edition to this series as we learn more about this Hockey band of friends and the ladies that stole their hearts.
Thankyou Helena Hunting for inviting me to the spectacular Wedding of Alex Waters and Violet Hall it was ideal for them and I adore being in this world I never wanted to leave.
5 Fantastic Stars
I can’t get enough of this series. This is the book I was looking forward to reading. Violet and Alex’s wedding. I wasn’t disappointed. Another laugh out loud romance with a heart.
