Pucked Under

FIRST KSS LASTING IMPRESSION

Yes we all know Lance is McSluttystone but oh thee is so much more. This is the first book in the series that made me cry with the backstory and the just the love that he longs for.

I really love Randy and Lily. They’re just a fun couple. Their ups and downs are the stuff you truly find in every day life so they feel like real people instead of characters in a book. I feel like this is a couple that is going to stick with me and I will remember them forever. But I am so pumped to be getting Lance’s story next and then Darren and Charlene! I am really loving this series now. I finally feel like I get it. I was just a little slow on the upswing. I’m all better now though. I also highly recommend this series now. I haven’t done much digging but I am so afraid that I am going to get to the end of Pucked Love and find out that there aren’t going to be anymore in this series and then I’m going to be very sad. But even if that is the end, I don’t think I could possibly stop myself from reading these next two books right now. Sorry not sorry.

This is one of my absolute favourite series. I was happy we got a follow-up story for Lilly and Randy. ‘cuz they are one of my favourite couples. Just love their banter and the relationship they have with each other.
If you liked Pucked Over, you’ll definitely love this one too. I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of reading this series! 5 stars for me!

Comme vous le savez peut être j’adore cette saga que je lis dès le début en VO et j’ai pu rencontrer et faire dédicacer mes romans à la RARE 2016 par Helena Hunting. J’étais donc ravie de retrouver Randy et Lilly ainsi que toute la folle équipe de personnages qu’on adore tant .

Tout l’intrigue réside essentiellement sur Randy et Lilly que j’ai découvert sous un nouveau jour. Même si Violet est dans les parages, nous avons juste le droit à quelques discussions bien drôles avec ce personnage qui n’a pas sa langue dans sa poche.

Comme vous le savez ( puisque que Big Boy est sorti récemment en France) Randy et Lilly forment un couple inattendu aux yeux des autres. Sur le papier rien n’aurait pu laisser penser que ces deux là auraient pu vivre une superbe histoire d’amour. Nous retrouvons donc Lilly pour un nouveau moment en sa compagnie. Elle reste égale à elle même et bien que les chapitres soient de manière alternative de son point de vue puis de celui de Randy, je l’ai trouvée plus apaisée dans ce nouveau tome . En effet, elle sera celle qui va rassurer au fil des pages. J’ai donc apprécié voir l’évolution de son couple mais aussi ses interactions avec ses amis. Sur le plan sexuel , Randy et Lilly “copulent” toujours autant comme des lapins et les scènes intimes entre nos deux tourtereaux sont toujours aussi pimentées et délicieuses. Le moins que l’on puisse dire c’est qu’ils sont très connectés sur ce plan là.

Ce que j’ai vraiment adoré dans ce nouveau tome est la nouvelle perception que nous avons de Randy. Dans Big Boy, il est ce mec sûr de lui , de son charme et de son sex appeal. Ici ce n’est plus aussi vrai. Il doute et c’est très agréable de les voir communiquer sur leur vie de couple. Il est évident que chaque couple évolue à son rythme . Si Alex et Violet se sont passés la corde au cou, Miller et Sunny vivent eux aussi un événement important. J’ai donc aimé voir le doute s’installer dans l’esprit de Randy car il prouve qu’il n’est pas parfait. J’ai d’ailleurs été très touchée par Randy au fil de ma lecture car il se met une telle pression sur les épaules que ce soit sur la glace mais aussi dans sa vie privée. L’arrivée de cet invité surprise va aussi faire remonter à la surface des fragilités sous jacentes et intéressantes.

Bien évidemment le côté comique de cette saga n’est pas en reste avec ce nouveau tome car en regroupant tous ses amis , ce week end promet d’être mémorable et fun. J’ai donc adoré retrouver cette complicité et cette amitié. J’ai d’ailleurs hâte d’en savoir plus sur Lance car c’est un personnage qui je suis sûre sera très intéressant. Je ne sais pas si Helena Hunting va consacrer son prochain tome sur Darren ou Lance mais je suis très curieuse d’en savoir plus au vu de ce week end fort en rebondissement.

Bref, ne passez pas à côté de ce nouveau tome fun, romantique et comique. Helena Hunting nous offre une nouvelle tranche de vie avec cette bande de copain et de copines toujours aussi comiques. J’avoue que ce tome m’a fait tomber complètement sous le charme de Randy qu’on découvre sous un nouveau jour

It’s yet another hilarious episode in the lives of the Pucked Family , that Helena has created for us. It’s pre-game season off time and the gang hangs out in the Chicago cottage. It’s seems a lot like American Pie with holy smoke sex , banter, laughter, friendships. I’d have loved more of Violet but obviously this book is more abut Lily and Randy and his past coming to visit him
All in all a fun , light hearted read

Randy hasn’t changed much, the man is still a caveman where Lily is concerned, “only I see you naked,” Randy barks.” You can’t help but love Violet’s bluntness, “Violet gives me the stink eye. “Are you serious with this? You guys probably stand around the locker room comparing your junk and smacking each other on the *** because you scored a goal. We’re girls. We get changed in front of each other…” Randy is like the damn energized bunny when it comes to sex and Lily, “Randy runs his palm up the outside of my thigh and rolls his hips. “I have another wiener that wants a piece of you.” I loved this book, I love this series I can’t wait for the next book.

This is the second part of Lily and Randy’s story. It was fun because I really like these two and they’re pretty funny. I didn’t think it was possible to love them any more than I already did but this book changed my mind. Randy Ballistic is one of the best players in the NHL and he’s drop-dead gorgeous but even this guy still has some insecurities. I like seeing big tough manly men be vulnerable with the women they love and Randy personifies that in this book.

We learn more about his sleazy dad who abandoned the family when they needed him most. Turns out that old dad wants to visit all too often and just happens to always need money from Randy, too. Despite the fact that he’s a far more talented hockey player and a much better person in general than his father, Randy Sr. has the ability to make Randy doubt himself. He never fails to criticize how Randy’s been playing and warn him that he won’t be first string for long.

When his dad lets himself into the house yet again, Randy tries to put his foot down now that Lily lives there, too. Randy Sr. isn’t having it and proceeds to be a huge pain in the ass on top of being a sloppy mess of a drunk. Randy’s trying to grit his teeth and bear it, only because he knows his father will bother Randy’s poor mom if Randy turns him away but the situation is terrible for him.

Lily is patient with Randy and willing to withstand Randy Sr. because she wants to support Randy but she has a breaking point. She’s willing to grin and bear the verbal abuse he lobs at her, calling her a gold-digger and puck bunny, but watching him bully his son is too much. Lily’s so completely badass when she goes off on Randy Sr., she’s my hero – and Randy’s too. Their chemistry is still as white hot as it was a year ago when they first got together but this look at the couple highlights their emotional connection to show them in another dimension.

This story is as hilarious as the others and Randy in particular is a great source of humor, even if he doesn’t mean to be one. His jealous streak is legendary but we get to see it in action when he introduces himself to a guy as Lily’s boyfriend who she lives with in his together. Their friends are full of jokes about Lily and Randy’s extremely active sex life – from five thousand dollars worth of damage to a hotel bathroom, which Randy declared worth every penny, to Violet’s way too personal questions: Is your beaver made of titanium? I think someday your beaver’s just going to run away. The couple takes it in stride, proud of their hot connection but this story shows us that there’s so much more to their relationship.

Like the others before it, this is a great feel-good story and I’d never get tired of the Pucked gang so I wish Hunting would give us more. I did read Little Lies, which is about the children of the Pucked gang but I didn’t fall in love with them the way I did with their parents. I was hoping for more of an All Saints High thing. I read LJ Shen’s Sinners of Saint series, loved it, and went into the next generation series with very minimal expectations but ended up loving it more than the original series. That’s not the case here so I just want more Pucked.

Randy and Lily are fun. I thoroughly enjoy this author’s lighthearted romances. They’re funny, sexy, and inappropriate. Haha!

This series just gets better and better with each book and I cannot wait for Lance’s story ‘Pucked Off’. ‘Pucked Under’ is continuance of Lily and Randy’s story. As you might remember they love hooking up in public places especially in bathrooms They still cannot keep their hands off of each other and as usual their story is pretty hot. Lily and Randy are one of my favorite couples in the series. In ‘Pucked Over’ we saw the physical and emotional connection between Lily and Randy and also little bit of how their childhood experiences affected their relationship. In ‘Pucked Under’ we see a different side of Randy, who is needy and insecure. With the start of season getting close and Randy’s dad showing up unannounced, Randy’s anxiety level goes sky high. He gets needy and unsure of himself. It was really sweet to see Lily trying to show Randy that she will always be there for him. If you enjoyed the ‘Pucked’ series and couldn’t get enough of Randy and Lily, this story will be great to read.

Would I recommend this book: Yes
Would I re-read this book: Already did
Would I read future books by this author: Yes

A further glimpse into Randy and Lily’s life after their first book. I love this couple so much that I had to savor what I was reading.

Randy and Lily show their true form in their favorite pastime all throughout the book. But we also get into the deeper emotional side for each of them too and where their relationship is heading.

I loved being back in the Pucked world and seeing more of the characters from before and some of the characters who’s stories are up next.

If you loved Randy and Lily in Pucked Over, you’re going to need to read this!
