Oh my, this story is like the overtime winning goal scored with seconds to spare, it has you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen. Jase always comes off as the funny, carefree, not so serious guy, but then he turns around and hello Melody. One wants the other, while the other is trying their hardest to avoid them. Jase and Melody pull you in on a hilarious, sweetly romantic, and emotional rollercoaster, that leaves you not sure how the end of this ride will go. The coven being the coven, add those moments of hilariousness to the story that make you laugh out loud and want to be a part of the coven. I could not put this story down, Jase and Melody pulled me in. Definitely take the time, read this amazing book, and see what happens between the determined, not always serious but romantic Jase, and the confident, determined, knows how to give right back Melody.
Alley Ciz just keeps getting better with every new release. I swear, she could take over the world if she keeps this up. Puck Performance hits harder in every aspect, more banter, more hilarity, more swoon, more heat. More, more, more! If wasn’t the coven cracking me up, it Jase himself…except he always followed up making me giggle by making me swoon.
And when I say swoon I mean SWOON. I’m talking big time here. This man is all kinds of hot while also being funny AND seriously sweet. I’ve loved all the heroes in this series, but Jase is hands down my favorite. If you’re looking for a read that’s going to keep you smiling while also hitting you right in the feels GRAB THIS!
Puck Performance is RomCom at it’s finest! Alley Ciz’s BTU series keeps getting better and better!
The banter between Jase and Melody is EVERYTHING!
Vince is still my favorite book boyfriend of Alley’s but Puck Performance has become my favorite story of her’s to date!
This duo gets double teamed – The Coven on Jase’s side and Melody’s friends Zoe and Ella. (I only hope they get their story because they were fun to read and I would love to see more of them.)
Then there are the text chats.
The ones shared between Jase and Melody are fun, sometimes sweet and sometimes hilarious.
The ones between the coven are fun and it never fails that someone will go left when everyone else is going right.
Jase has demons he’s fighting and Melody has a secret she’s keeping.
At a certain point I figured out what Melody’s secret was but it was how the author was going to expose it that had me on pins and needles. Because the way it was exposed was NOT what I was expecting and I literally said, “Oh no” when it was happening.
When Jase finally faces those demons – this girl had to grab the tissues! He’s been the comedic relief through so much of the book that my heart BROKE during this scene. (Yeah – eyes are still tearing up thinking about it. )
How weird is it that their phone conversation involving Mr. Potato Head is sexy AF?
If you are a fan of sexy romantic comedies, I HIGHLY suggest reading this. It’s fun and flirty and sexy AF and yet it had these tender, emotional moments that sucked me in and had me rooting for these two.
OMG!! Jase is my favorite hockey player ever!! I loved him and Melody so much!! My emotions were all over the place with this one. I laughed, I swooned, I cried and I got mad!!! You know it’a good book when you can literally feel the characters feelings coming off the pages!! Jase was a stubborn one for sure but he redeemed himself!! I absolutely loved the broadway aspect!! Melody and Jase are couple goals!!! I need a coven like the group in this series!!! I love everything about this group!!! I loved Jase’s stubbornness and Melody’s sass!!! Together they are perfection!!!
I swear each of Alley’s books has been my favorite, until I read her next one. But, Jase and Melody will be nearly impossible to match let alone top. Jase has been swoon worthy since he was introduced in Power Play- as a big brother he was just amazing, then in Tap Out he was an amazing bestie. I worried whether I anyone was going to be enough to deserve this special guy. The heroine He falls in love with is just so perfect. She’s strong, sarcastic, yet sweet and vulnerable at times too.
Melody is the perfect march for Jase and their love story is both romantic, funny, heartbreaking,
And epic! I was so lucky to receive an ARC of this book and don’t want to spoil anything about this story…so hurry up and grab this book and enjoy the cast of characters that make up the BTU family!!
I have been not so patiently (sorry, not sorry Alley!) Waiting For this book since I first met Jase in Power Play. He has been my favorite from the beginning and this book just confirmed all of the reasons why. So happy that I was lucky enough to get an advanced electronic copy, but now I have to wait to get my paperback so I can make hearts in the margins like I am in middle school.
Super sexy, alpha, charming, cheeseball (or should that be potatoball?) Hockey god Jase Donnelly meets his match in the tiny, curvy, long-haired Broadway Baby better known as Melody Brightly. These two have sparks flying off the page and water boiling for their potatoes. She may have played hard to get but the grand gestures were totally swoon-worthy on all sides.
All of the text messages and Coven Conversations just make you want to be part of their world. Plus, you get to see old friends and meet a few new ones that you will totally want more of, *cough* Cali *cough*. Cannot wait to see what comes next from Alley but until then, you can find me curled up under a blanket with my man, Jase Donnelly in Puck Performance!
Jase Donnelly is one Hot Potato! A Pure Puck Romance!
This is a Five Star Romance as it has all the makings for a perfect recipe. Recipe includes: all the feels, slow romance, steamy hot hockey player, beautiful and talented Broadway star, crazy nutty friends. I absolutely love this book! From the moment Jase Donnelly meets firecracker Melody Brightly the smoldering tension in the air is enough to melt the ice. This book made me laugh out loud, cry a little, and most certainly made me fall in love with a cast of characters. Alley Ciz is one of my favorite new authors, she has made me a huge fan because this book is AMAZING!
Another fun, steamy and entertaining book from Alley Ciz. Pucked Performance (BTU Alumni #4) follows one of my favorite guys from the BTU universe Jase and the beautiful Broadway Star, Melody, he meets on a random night out. From the first moment there is chemistry there but Melody acts disinterested until even she can’t ignore the pull she feels and her feelings for Jase. Everything is going so smoothly for them until a secret comes to light that might not be so easily forgiven and then loyalty and hearts are tested. u2063

Between The Coven text conversations and just generally being ridiculous and funny and all in everyone’s business to watching the great Jase finally meet the girl of his dreams this book just completely entertains. It was sweet, funny and super steamy. The inside “potato” jokes had me laughing out loud but it was such a sweet inside joke Jase and Melody had. I also liked the relationship between Jase and Melody and how they complimented and supported each other. u2063
u2063
This is just a really great feel good rom-com that will have you laughing and a little flushed (specially gorgeous Jase and his super hot piercing…I’m a sucker for a guy with a piercing). All in all I’m still obsessed with this series and since this book involved a hockey player I absolutely loved it so much. u2063

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. u2063
Man, I absolutely love the BTU Alumni series. Every book gives me all the feels and this one was no exception. I will say this one probably made me laugh out loud the most which is saying something because every book so far has had its moments. The fact that I was finally getting Jase’s story was a huge bonus because I’ve loved him since Power Play! The banter between Jase and Melody is off the charts from the start and the slow burn was killer but oh so worth the wait! With every book I fall more and more in love with each of these characters. The family that has been forming since their college days is heartwarming and definitely life goals. High five to Alley Ciz for another amazing book
This was so much fun to read. I found myself smiling and laughing more often than not. Melody and Jase are smoking hot together but it’s their banter and their back and forth that got me.
Puck Performance is a love story that will not only romance your soul but have you enamored by the banter between all the characters. Jase and Melody have a chemistry that is felt through each and every word as it vibrates right to your heart. As secrets are revealed and harsh words are laid out, it will take a plan like no other to prove their love. Another fantastic addition to an already phenomenal series that will have you donning your jersey to support this team of characters that will once again steal your heart, as another one bites the dust. A story that not only gives us a fun filled steamy romance surrounded by drama and lots of texts and gifs but it gives us more of this unconventional family we have grown to love. Be warned, by the end of this story Jase might have you craving potatoes in every way.
PUCKING FANTASTIC!!
Oh Alley Ciz, I bow down to your evil genius.
Here you go again putting my heart through the motions.
Jake, Gage, Vince, and now Jase!? WHEW. Just how is a girl to choose??
I know I say this every time I’m introduced to a new guy but hot zayum, Jase takes the cake and I’m not so sure he can be topped (Sorry, not sorry DL Gallie). I have two words for you: TONGUE RING, nuff said!
This story…I mean where do I start? It’s like coming home.
The texts, the Coven conversations, Melody’s inner monologues, THE POTATOES (insider)…I literally laughed out loud too many times to count. There were so many times this story put the biggest smile on my face. Then there’s the secret and boy does Ciz keep you hanging on by a nail biting thread wondering what Melody’s secret is and when it drops so does my jaw. I had my theory but I never saw that coming! Alley Ciz had to turn me ragey for just a second or two but what’s a good book without a rage moment right?? That ending only leaves me salivating for more! Let’s just go ahead and skip to June shall we.
Utterly Pure Perfection
When you think the last book of hers is your fave… then… BOOM! She once again deliver another beautiful piece of BTU.
Jase Donnelly is something else… he is in the different league to the rest of the group. He is dreamy, loyal and caring.
Jase and Melody is so different from the other BTU, this is by far the best of Alleys writing.
Plus, did you see the cover? In Love with this cover.
The BEST BTU!
AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL and a HEA only Alley knows how to deliver.
“I-I’m not yours though,” she stutters(…)“Oh, but…baby, you are.”
Every time I think Alley has written my fav book in the series, she delivers another way better than the previous one. OH.MY.GOD. THIS. BOOK. YOU GUYS!!!!!!
All the details! Broadway, Marilyn, and everything! And the chats of the Coven, those are precious I love that group and that the author was able to create such a strong group of women. I don’t get to see that in other books and that’s one of the things I love the most about her stories!!!!!!
Jase!!!! I’ve loved him since the very first book and I couldn’t be happier with his story. This guy!!! gahh!!!! He’s hot, amazing, a good brother, friend, and an excellent uncle and of course, he deserved a HEA.
Melody, of course, we would see a badass girl with a painful life but so strong and determinate to follow her dreams, beautiful, determinate, a theater star in the making. She’s always trying to do things by not hurting the one she loves, but what happens when she ends up doing it anyway?
I couldn’t stop reading this book because I needed to know what the heck was going on!! So many secrets, this girl he meets and immediately blinds him, he wants her and he would do anything and everything to have her. But..will he let a secret destroy the feeling he has for this girl??? Ughhh one of the things I loved the most about this book was the suspense she managed to put us all through and the suffering of now knowing what was going on, yeah I’m a sucker for pain so what lol. The sexual tension between these two was….pfff amah-zing! and with those funny and wtf moments that only Alley could give us.
Wow this book by Alley Ciz must be one of the best hockey romances I have read lately. She pulls you into the story of crazyness and love with her.
I love the story about Jase (Jason) and Mels (Melody) and their group of friends (Covenettes and brother husbands) . It is written in a way so it is difficult to put the book down. You need to know what is happening next.
In the beginning i didn’t know Jase could be such a romantic guy. The love they feel for each other just splashes of the pages, you can feel it in your bones while you are reading the book. I can’t wait to read the next story, because there is coming a 5th book ladies!!!!
One thing that comes from reading this book, you look at potatoes in a very different way. Thank you Ciz for this.
I’m about 99% positive that if I get pregnant again, it’s because of her.
The hubs, who is also a fan of Alley asked me the other day how the book was going. Let’s be honest here, he knows Alley’s books make me hot and bothered. He wanted a heads up if I was gonna jump him again. Which me knowing that, gave him everything about the book first before all the juicy details.
But for real though. This man is just as big as a Alley fan as I am. HE brings up the books and characters almost more often then I do in conversations. In fact he brought home a Mario Cart T-shirt and referenced the BTU gang.
Wondering what inspires this non romantic book reader? ReadTheBooks
Jase just about killed me with his playful seriousness. Mel with her sass. They are absolutely adorable. But for real, every couple of Alley’s is. Add that in with their amazingly crazy family, you get the perfect laughing, crying, horny book. Alley just gets better and better the more she writes.
Read this book when you are horny.
Read this book to get you horny.
Read this book to have your heartstrings plucked.
Read this book to simply laugh.
Just read the freaking book.
If it’s at all possible I love Alley Ciz and the BTU crew even more after Puck Performance! Jase’s book was absolute perfection! Alley Ciz has created this amazing world with The Coven and the BTU books. I cannot get enough of them. Both the guys and the girls make you want to be their friends, and not because they are NFL hockey players, or MMA fighters, but because each and everyone of these characters has their own amazing personality. Yes sometimes they might be on the cocky side, but who isn’t at times? They are a family, doesn’t matter if a person is blood related, or married into, or just a friend, once you’re in you’re family.
Can I just say again how much I love Puck Performance! I expect amazing when I read and Alley Ciz book, but what she did with this book was beyond. Jase and Melody’s book is the first one of the series to make me cry, so congratulations Mrs. Ciz it’s finally happened.
Melody Brightly and Jase Donnelly are the perfect couple. Their chemistry and steaminess is through the roof. Their witty banter had me laughing out loud. Where Melody’s family is basically nonexistent other than her brother, Jase’s family is big, and crazy. Melody is the perfect match for Jase.
Can we just talk about how Jason Donnelly has a tongue ring? I mean enough said right there!
Puck Performance is full of laugh out loud, steamy, and WTF moments! Alley Ciz was able to bring out every emotion I have with this book. I can’t tell you how much I wanted to reach through my kindle and slap Jase Donnelly in the face and tell him how stupid I think he is.
I can’t say how much I loved everything about this book! And Jase Donnelly maybe my new favorite Alley Ciz man. I swear Alley Ciz gets better and better with each book she writes. How many authors can slip potatoes into a book like they were meant to be? She has created this core group of people who she somehow manages to add to with each book so effortlessly.
I am absolutely hooked on the BTU crew and cannot wait to see what she gives us next. My only complaint is I wish Puck Performance didn’t have to end!!
I truly think this is, so far, one of Alley’s best books. It doesn’t hurt we get the story (finally) of one of my favorite characters. And much love for giving us even more characters to get to enjoy in the future. Great writing, loved the characters and OMG the Coven antics are on point. And loved the bonus scenes that were shared too.
Good gosh I love this series! The friendships among this tribe are second to none which just adds to the story of Jase and Melody. Jase is an over grown kid one minute and an alpha male the next and I couldn’t love him more. A hockey player and a Broadway actress shouldn’t work but they absolutely do. I love Jase and Melody more than potatoes….and that’s saying a lot (you’ll get the potato reference once you read the book)
Alley Ciz has done it again! BTU #4 is now my favorite of the BTU series!! I absolutely love Jase & Melody’s story. From the beginning it captured my attention & had me hook, line & sinker the entire way through. It had me laughing & swooning throughout the whole book. I’m already so excited to read #5 but Jase & Melody are going to be hard to beat; but then again, it’s Alley! 😉
