***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.

Loved the humor!
I thought the story was great. And the characters were perfect. Gives every girl a chance to see prince charming running in to save the day. Or maybe skating in. Lol. All around great book.
This book is hilarious from the first sentence the end. I laughed so hard during the whole book. Violet is such a great character and so unique. Not often do you read a female character like her. She is hysterical and ridiculously awkward and inappropriate and she meets her awkward match in Alex a larger than life ex figure skater now hot shot hockey player. Alex is nothing like the all the hockey players Violet knows. He is smart and despite a reputation he is not a player. Despite some bumps a long the way these two make their way to a HEA.
I would change the title if I were this author and re-release the book under a new title. This from a book editor.
Pretty miserable, disjointed. A bore.
Wonderful characters who say whatever comes across their minds.
Mediocre sex romance with obvious story line
It was fun. Totally enjoyed it.
good story
The female lead character was so irritating. She would be the ditzy girl everyone shakes their head and it’s hard to believe anyone can be that dumb. The hockey guy was what saved the storyline.
Grab this book and start this witty, addictive series!
I loved this book. Being a big sports fan, it made me want to read this book and I wasn’t disappointed. There were parts in the story that had me laughing so hard I think my neighbors were interrupted with what they were doing. Violet is a in your face, say what ever comes to mind kind of girl, so that alone had me cracking up. Her and Alex make a cute couple. Alex is a hockey super star with a rocking body. Their relationship had its fair share of conflict. The story is very realistic and the characters are down to earth. I was really hoping this book would be a five out of five stars so I made the picture for my post before I finished the book. I’m glad it ended up being worthy of the stars. I would absolutely read this story over again, it was just that good. I really liked the way the story ended, it was sweet. Definitely give this book a shot.
Great humor (twisted, but awesome)
Hillarious Hockey Romance!! Alex Waters is a genius hockey player on ice rinks even with the ladies… Violet, the quirky funny girl who had a crazy sense of humour.. Pucked is a funny sexy romance with younger blood… The tension and emotions were high,.. I had laughed so much with the hillarious craziness…
Sexy. As. Hell. And heart-wrenching, witty, and hilarious. I bit my nails and melted into goo. I laughed and cried. What more could I have asked for? Nothing really.
Another good hockey book. This is an entertaining book for sure. I wasn’t sure how I felt about Violet at first, she’s a bit quirky, but she’s also quite funny. She tends to babble and say things that she probably shouldn’t, but it’s quite entertaining. Alex can be quite adorable at times. He’s a bit awkward at the beginning, but again it’s quite funny. I like that he’s not your ‘stereotypical’ hockey player and that he is more than what meets the eye. It doesn’t seem like they would be a good match, but once you learn more about Violet and Alex you see that they fit each other really well. I liked the storyline for the most part, just a few things here and there that I wasn’t a fan of.
A true original – it will leave you Puckedl!!!
There are times when reader starts reading a book and just knows that they are about to embark on an incredible journey. This is one of those times, this is one of those books, and this is that author who will deliver this.
Alex is an utterly sexy alpha NHLer, with a bit of a reputation that might not be all it appears to be and you just can’t help but fall for him. He vulnerability and his relationship with Violet just pull you in – through the highs, the lows and everything that Violet throws his way (and I mean everything). His chemistry with Violet blazes off the pages.
As for Violet… Violet is uncensored, unpredictable, and absolutely hysterical, who will leave you rolling on the floor peeling with laughter. Helena sets the bar for her in such a way that you will compare other female leads in this genre and wonder – what would Violet say/do?
This is a beyond a fantastic read and everyone needs a little bit of Alex and a whole lotta Violet in their lives!!! An absolute must read book and incredible start to this series!!!
Violet and Alex are so much fun!! They are sexy, sweet and have amazing crazy witty banter.
Violet knows the reputation of a hockey player for heavens sake she has a step brother in the game but when she meets Alex and that one amazing night occurs it is too orgasmic to forget but she must !
Alex does not give up and when he begins his pursuit of Violet it is funny, quirky and relentless !! Hos could she resist !
This is the first book in the Pucked series and I cannot wait to see where the rest of this amazing cast of characters are on their way to with the lovely Helena paving the way!!!!

Apparently if you’re an adult contemporary author and you write a quirky female main character, I’m going to fall wildly in love with your book.
Violet is a laugh and a half. I love her too much.
If you’re like me and have only read Helena’s most recent release, Meet Cute, then trust me when I saw you need to go back and read her other releases.
Girl can write! Reading this has gotten me so excited to read the other books of hers I’ve recently purchased.
She writes characters that feel like you could be friends with. Almost like you’re right there with them as their quiet sidekick and you just get to watch the drama unfold.
Her books are addictive.
This series is one of my favorites and this book gets it all started. Violet is hilarious and has no filter. I laughed throughout the entire book. It is hot,fun and flirty. It was easy to fall in love with Alex as well. Alex is a hockey player and this series includes him and his teammates. Once you start this book you won’t want to put it down. Helena Hunting is a very amazing and talented author. Enjoy!!!
