If you are looking for a sweet, easy read this is a good choice. The way the characters worked out their differences unbelievably quickly, and a few typos earned this one 4 stars instead of 5, but I will definitely read more in this series.
4 Puck Drop Stars
Puck Drop is the first book in the Utah Fury Hockey series by Brittney Mulliner. This was my first read from this author and I was excited to find another hockey sports book. Chloe doesn’t date hockey players. She is there to support her twin brother and do her job as head of digital marketing for the team that have now become her family. She doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardise that.
Reese has just been traded in from Boston, from a team he began his career with and a team he thought were his family. He thought Boston would be where he played his whole career out but things change and now he is in Utah. He has to try to make the most of things and continue to do his best. He has one rule “no dating” during hockey season but then he meets Chloe and well he’s ready to throw that rule out the window.
She wouldn’t have to go out with me if I were dead. And I was pretty sure I would be if I knocked on Erik’s door and asked for his sister.
This was a really nice and sweet read. Although there was a little drama thrown in and Chloe’s yo-yoing and double standards got on my nerves a little, overall it was an enjoyable easy read for me between heavy books. The secondary characters were nice to read and I will definitely be reading more in the series.
The start of the book didn’t suck me in but as the story progressed, I liked the banter between the characters. There was some romance but it was a clean read. (Meaning no sex) I really liked the hockey aspect and you could tell that the author loves the sport or did great research. Like liked the hero because he really seemed to care. I got made that he kept apologizing for things he didn’t need to apologize for but that also made him seem sweeter.
At times I felt like Chloe’s job too more center stage then the buddying romance between the two main characters. I get that her job revolves around the hero’s job but the time they spent just them seemed to be short and it made it very hard to feel like it was a genuine relationship. Add in the fact that Chloe was so wishy washy. We should tell him (her brother), no, are you crazy we can’t tell him. All in the same breath. Overall it was a cute book and I would be willing to read more in the series. 3 stars #2OCCJD
First of all, I have to say that I love this book so much, I have reread it at least 4 times that I can distinctly remember. Chloe sounds so sweet and caring. I love that Reece helps her set healthier boundaries with her brother and become stronger. Chloe and Reece really grow in this book and I really think that that’s what love is supposed to do.

This book was a quick clean read for me. I enjoyed Reese and Chloe’s romance, it was definitely emotional, but there was a lot of back and forth and felt like there could have been a few less mood swings in the flow.
I would read this author again, and look forward to reading more in this series.
