Just the facts, Sir.Serious inquiries only. –CuriousCat4When I see the ad in the Portland Alternative’s “Love Wanted” section, I can’t resist the urge to respond. Yes, it’s dangerous—as a star forward … forward for the Badgers I have a reputation to protect—but I miss the thrill of calling the shots in the bedroom and reading that ad is the first time I’ve laughed in months.So I reach out to Curious Cat about the “educational” opportunity…A few sizzling—and hysterical—emails later we arrange to meet. I’m hoping we’ll have chemistry, and I might finally be on my way to getting over my ex-girlfriend.And then the gate to the beer garden swings open and in walks Hailey.My ex is Curious Cat, and this experiment just got a hell of a lot more complicated.But I never back down from a challenge—on or off the ice.I keep my educational offer on the table—six weeks of submissive lessons. Six weeks to learn how to drive a Dominant man crazy, and then we part ways as friends.What do I have to lose? Except what’s left of my heart?Keywords: hockey romance, virgin romance, BDSM romance, dominant male, alpha male, lessons in seduction, new adult, new adult romance, sports romance, sports, friends to lovers, opposites attract romance, opposites attract, workplace, humor, comedy, romance, contemporary, alpha male, love, career, bad boy, family, fiction, forbidden, forbidden romance, romantic comedy, roommates, roomie, roomies, best friends to lovers romance, contemporary romance, best friends in romance, brothers, athletes, rom com, hilarious, romance series, romance books, beach reads, funny, stories, sensual, sensual romance, hot guy, sexy, heartwarming, heart-warming, kissing books, romance series, long series, long romance series, wealthy hero, wealthy heroes, sports romance, Lili Valente, L.

I love it when I learn something new by reading fiction, in this case, “…the many different flavors of Doms available…”. I enjoyed reading Will and Hailey’s second chance romance, and while I knew that there would be something that tears them apart, and it was awful, I was ‘gasp out loud, cover your mouth’ shocked by what brings them back together. Wow.
I have loved and adored each of Lili Valente’s books. This one was just ok for me. Will and Hailey clearly love each other but Will is taking his teaching seriously. The reason they broke up in the beginning was because of lack of communication. Therefore, one would think they would communicate a lot better this time around instead of playing a game. At times I found it hard to read only because there was more inner dialogue then actual dialogue between the characters. The concept of the story was good, I just wish there was better communication and a little more building a relationship rather than all the naughty times between the sheets.
I was captured by Will and Hailey’s love story and had to finish the book before bedtime. Wonderful characters, consensual BDSM and a happily ever after to make you smile.
I’m not a huge fan of second chance romances. However, I love this series. It’s not my favorite but it was well written and I thought the age difference brought realistic complications.
Pucked Up Love by Lili Valente is the fifth book in her Bad Motherpuckers series. A wonderful read from start to finish. Hilarious, emotional, eye-opening, socially aware, angst filled, happy ever after, sexy, steamy and more! Will & Hailey’s story is original and sexy and was an absolute pleasure to read!
Will is missing his ex. It’s been a year and let’s face it – he isn’t over her. But he is trying. Out of sheer boredom and curiosity he answers an ad in the Portland Alternative for a discreet Dominate to platonically teach the BDSM world.
Hailey is determined to learn about being a submissive to see if it is something she could ever do. Turns out her boyfriend of five years was actually a dominant that didn’t have enough faith in her or their love and kept it hidden, hiding an essential part of his personality for their entire relationship. She wants to know if she can be the Sub to his Dom and if she can then the man she never stopped loving can be hers again. If not, then at least she know she tried. When the ad she placed in the Portland Alternative is answered by none other than Will, the ex, sparks fly, emotions are challenged and outlooks are changed.
Love the author and LOVED this book. Well written and well paced – another fantastic read from Lili Valente. Enjoy!
Such a great motherpuckin’ series!
I am always in stalker mode for more of this author and series. Discreet Dominant and Curious Cat were worth the wait as this second chance romance ticked all the waiting boxes! All was well, great in fact, or so Hailey thought. When they broke up, they both were left with many, many questions and a feeling of loss so profound, it couldn’t end that way. It just couldn’t…
How they reconnected and rebuilt those intimate ties was a lesson in self-control and soul-searching that was hot and emotional satisfying. So many questions – and answers to them all – came slowly, as they built back the bonds of honesty and trust. There were tears and laughter plus a chance for me to connect with the characters as they went through it all. I devoured each page much too quickly as I felt their pain, and experienced their joy.
With sisterly love and support and a friend for Will when needed, they weren’t alone in their journey. So while I didn’t want this story to end, I admit, Bree and Shane are on my radar and I can’t wait to read more about them!

I love Lili Valente’s sexy hockey players. I look forward to these book because they’re always funny and they have an unexpected quirk or twist when it comes to the charterers. This one is no different it met my expectations! Hailey and Will should have made forever, but a miscommunication causing a rift, but it’s kismet when Will answers an ad in the paper. Now a second chance is in the making, but will they learn from past mistakes? The chemistry between Hailey and Will is smoking! Things get very steamy between the two. I gobbled this book right up. All the characters had me hooked. I loved seeing the characters from previous books. Also enjoyed the set up for the next book in the series. I’m completely intrigued and I’m going to be eagerly awaiting it.
I do love a good second chance romance and is definitely one that I loved. Will and Hailey’s story is full of heat, laughter, friendship, and heart. They definitely have aspects of their relationship to talk about. They want to be happy and to do that they need to be themselves. One hundred percent. To be honest with each other. To communicate. To trust. Can they get everything out in the open if they decide to give their love another chance?
Overall…I loved these characters! Will is fucking hot, sweet, supportive, and fun. Hailey is a badass who is trying to find her way. They made me swoon, flushed, and cry! I loved every minute of it and can’t wait for the next book.
Funny, sweet and sexy as hell, you will absolutely fall in love with Will Saunders! When Will and Hailey were together he hid something pretty important about himself, mainly his dominant tendencies in the bedroom. She thought she was holding him back so she left him. They have been apart for a year now and Hailey has decided she wants to see if she could be everything Will needs because she still loves him. She puts an ad in the personals for Submissive lessons and low and behold guess who answers the ad? The shock was something else to say the least but since Will never stopped loving her either, this seemed like fate to him. This is such a good story that had me laughing, swooning, tearing up and smiling so much! Their banter back and forth through email and their interactions in person both in and out of the bedroom are chock full of sizzling chemistry! Can their lessons turn into a lifetime? Can Hailey be what Will needs? Will she want to once she sees what is involved? Does he really need that to be happy with her? Will she truly enjoy it and want that life for herself given that she is such a strong independent woman? Will he still respect and love her if she does? Don’t worry, no cliffy here. All these questions will be answered in this sexy story.
I love this series and all the bad motherpuckers!!!
