***Standalone Romantic Comedy***With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. She isn’t interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. When Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet’s misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes … becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.
Suffering from a complete lapse in judgment, Violet discovers just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants. Violet believes her night of orgasmic magic with Alex is just that: one night. But Alex starts to call. And text. And email and send extravagant—and quirky—gifts. Suddenly, he’s too difficult to ignore, and nearly impossible not to like.
The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn’t want to be part of the game.

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this book because I’m not a hockey kind of girl–but as it turns out, I guess I am a hockey girl after all! I loved Hawks’ team captain Alex Waters and all the team dynamics. And the heroine, Violet, is funny as hell!
Laugh-out-loud funny, Pucked is the perfect blend of heat and humor. I couldn’t put this book down.
I absolutely loved every single aspect of this book. I am a life-long fan of all sports, especially hockey. So, when I saw this book years ago, I knew it was a must read. Pucked, was full of imaginative dialogue that had me laughing out loud and shaking my head constantly.
Fair warning, some readers could consider the humor as crude, but it’s part of why I loved this book so much – the shock factor was brilliant! Let’s face it, hockey is mostly a men’s sport and most men tend to be rude and crass when they play sports. With the story being told from both characters point of views, in the exquisite way that she did, Helena hit the mark by encapsulating both characters perfectly.
I could not get enough of this book. I am thrilled that this is only the beginning. Not only am I looking forward to the rest of the Pucked Series, but I am so glad that books can be read over and over again. This is for sure one of my favorites and I will be rereading it soon.

I can’t say enough about this Fabulous series I fell in insta love with it from the first book definitely one of the best series I’ve Ever Read 5 stars
Read in one night I loved this book. Very crass and laugh out loud hilarious I will never see MC the same way again or a beaver. Alex and Violet have great characterization and a beautiful relationship.
Love this book, I didn’t want the story to STOP
Just finished this book. So in love with it! It is hilarious and romantic and steamy! I would give 10 stars if i could.
I love this book! I love Alex and Violet! They are so funny and adorable together. I love Violet’s unfiltered comments this book makes me laugh out loud while reading it. The chemistry is off the charts with them and names she comes up with for them are too funny. They are so hot for each other. Alex really has to work to get her to go out with him and then he really messes it up. Like wow messes it up. There is no cheating so its not that. I love Violet’s relationship with Buck (her step brother) and her bestie Charlene is so funny. We need a Charlene book asap! I don’t want to give to much away there is some drama but its just pure fluffy awesomeness!!
This was so unlike the previous books of hers I’ve read, but I really enjoyed that. I love when an author branches out into other genres. PUCKED is filled with so many hilarious moments as well as many tender, romantic parts that will make you swoon! Alex Waters is the perfect hero, and he has the monstrous cock to go along with his dimple-clad, charming personality. Violet’s ridiculousness just adds the sprinkles on top of this already amazing, well-written romantic comedy! I highly recommend checking it out!
Well I am glad I listened to my friend and read this story. K you were right this book is good for the soul. It is over the top? Yes it is. Is is crass? Most definitely. Does it work? Certainly.
When I started this book I thought it was going to by your typical sports romance and in many ways it is but the author creates a very funny story along with the traditional aspects and makes this story work. The stories has many of the same qualities that make romantic comedies work. There are great characters, a nice plot, miscommunication, groveling, lust, passion, heat, and lots and lots of humor. I found myself enjoying each page and I did end up reading this all in once night. I really liked the over the top moments, the steamy scenes, the crass moments and even tough there were a bit too many mentions of B and MC (don’t want to spoil it for new readers) it somehow worked.
I will be reading the next book, thought not right away. I think I am going to save these funny stories for when I am down and need a lift. Enjoyable read and recommended to those readers who like humor and can handle over the top story lines. 3.75 stars
5 STARS
I loved EVERYTHING about this book! I totally wish Violet was my friend in real life. Alex and Vi are the perfect couple and their story is hilarious! I highly recommend reading this book. Helena is my Rom Com Queen!!! Pucked by Helena Hunting is an EPIC read that will join the ranks of BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!
I loved this book and OMG Violet! This book was hilarious. She and Alex really had me bent over laughing. I adore that she has no filter and this story is one that just pulls you into the characters. Helena Hunting has created a hockey world where the men are HOT and the situations are either really steamy or making you giggle out loud in inappropriate places. I highly recommend it for delightful, raunchy humor.
I loved the storyline, I was immediately immersed in it and read it in one sitting. Can’t wait to read her other works, I know they’ll be just as entertaining.
I’ve had this book on my Kindle for a while, but for some reason, I kept pushing it down in my TBR pile. I wish I hadn’t done that to this thoroughly enjoyable read. Going into it, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the hockey references, but they didn’t overwhelm the story at all. The characters are fantastic. Violet is hilarious. If you are looking for a lighthearted, steamy read to escape into, grab this book!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. for some reason I like hockey books anyway and this went a different twist from the girl working for the team angle. I felt like Alex and Violet could have almost been real people with their faults and her no take crap from the hockey star attitude. If you like book one they are also a big part of book 2 of the series. I intend to read the whole series when I get caught up with my reading as these are easy to read, funny, realistic characters.
Couldn’t put it down!
Loved it!
I really enjoyed this story. It was steamy, hilarious and just downright charming. This sports romance had me hooked from start to finish and I loved every moment of it. I was laughing out loud throughout the story at the hilarity of some of the comments. The main characters were my favorite but the secondary characters also greatly added to the story.
I enjoyed this novel. It was light and comical and I would highly recommend it to all lovers of sports romances and romantic comedies.
any book that makes me laugh out loud is a book worth having and reading
I literally laughed out loud – this book is totally wonderful!
