Book Review: Pucked Up by Helena Hunting



Pucked Up
Pucked #2
Author: Helena Hunting
Reading Level: New Adult
Genres: Sports | Romantic Comedy
Released: April 28th 2015
Review Source: Purchased

Miller “Buck” Butterson has been banging his way through life ever since a puck to the face fixed his messed up front teeth. After five years in the NHL, deflecting goals on the ice and scoring them with puck bunnies, Miller has decided he’s ready for a girlfriend. A real, non-bunny girlfriend to take on dates, and not jump into bed with after five seconds of conversation. Miller thinks he’s found that woman in his teammate’s sister. Except, unlike team captain and all-around nice guy Alex Waters—who happens to date his stepsister, Miller’s media reputation as a manwhore is well earned. Beyond that minor detail, Miller doesn’t know the first thing about relationships or the time and effort they require. Miller learns—eventually—that if he wants to make Sunshine “Sunny” Waters fall for him, he's going to have to do a whole lot more than show her his stick skills in the bedroom.


Pucked Up is the second book of the series by author Helena Hunting. This book follows Miller “Buck” Butterson, who is the step brother of Violet Hall (from book #1 Pucked), and Sunny Waters, who is the sister of Alex Waters (also from book #1).

Buck has always been known as sort of a man-whore. He has a different Puck-Bunny every night and has never had a serious girlfriend. In book one of the series he initially hits on Sunny as a way to get back at Alex for dating his step sister Violet, but Sunny turns out to be way different than the normal girls he is used to. She didn’t give it up to him and they actually spent the night talking and getting to know each other. Sunny is also not your typical hoochie momma kind of girl with tight clothes and lots of makeup. She is more of a hippy type. So to say that she is everything that Buck typically doesn’t go for is an understatement. But I guess the old saying “opposites attract” is the theme of this book.

This book really focuses on how Buck changes his playboy ways and learns how to be in a relationship for the first time in his life. There are a lot of growing pains for Buck, but as we quickly see there are also things that Sunny needs to learn and grow from as well. She needs to learn to see past the fast paced, fast moving lifestyle of this reforming playboy. She has an ex-boyfriend in the picture who also threatens to cause some trouble for these two on their way to their happily ever after, but together they are learning and hopefully can make it work in the end.

Just like book #1, this book is hilarious. Even though Buck and Violet aren’t related by blood, the things that run through their heads and come out of their mouths will keep you rolling. This book has a different leading couple, a different set of problems and obstacles, but at the end of the day…if you are looking for a sweet romance that has lusty, sexy and hilarious times…this is the book and series for you.


Book Review: Pucked by Helena Hunting




Pucked
Pucked #1
Author: Helena Hunting
Reading Level: New Adult
Genres: Sports | Romantic Comedy
Release Date: April 28th 2015
Review Source: Purchased

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 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.


Have you ever wanted to read a really sexy book…but also ROFLAO at the same time? If so, then do I have a series for you. Pucked is the first book of this series by author Helena Hunting. There are two books out so far, with the third just around the corner for release. This book revolves around Violet Hall. She is the step sister of a famous Hockey player, Miller “Buck” Butterson. She has seen firsthand the behind the scenes shenanigans of all the girls who throw themselves at the players…better known to her as ‘Puck Bunnies’. She herself has decided to stay as far away from hockey players as possible due to what she has seen. She basically thinks they are just as slutty as the girls who throw themselves at them. She is a smart girl who has her priorities straight so this should be an easy feat. Right?

In walks Alex Waters. He is the hot teammate and captain of the team that Buck plays on. He also has the reputation for being quite the ladies man, which Violet adamantly wants to steer clear of. But as fate will demand there is no way that Violet can deny the attraction she has for Alex right off the bat. She tries to fight it but Alex is very persistent. During their journey from Point A to Point B…let the hilarity ensue. What I must punctuate are not only Violet’s inner thoughts and monologues, but what actually comes out of her mouth. I can’t tell you the amount of times when people would look at me weird because I would be laughing out loud as I read this book. As smart and intellectual as Violet is, the things that go through her brain and come out of her mouth are utterly ridiculous and hilarious. Even during their many sexy times together you can’t help but cover your mouth from wanting to laugh.

At the end of the day this is a very sweet love story, one that you will route for until the very end, but their journey to get to their happily ever after is different than just reading a dramatic romance. It will make you lusty, hot, happy and…hysterical. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes a good romance but who also loves a good laugh.


Blog Tour: The Reality of You | Jean Haus | Book Review



Welcome to our stop on THE REALITY OF YOU tour for Jean Haus. This tour is hosted by Good Choice Reading Blog Tours. Today we share our 4 star review and much more. 


The Reality of You
Author: Jean Haus
Reading Level: Adult
Genre: Romance
Released: June 27th 2014
Review Source: Blog Tour

Naomi Porter was once witty, fun, and outgoing, but she has scratched outgoing off the list, along with men. She has a mediocre tech job in fabulous New York, a large smut book collection, and awesome friends, both tangible and in an online gaming community. She just doesn’t date. A future filled with cats and housedresses beats having her heart broken again.

But Naomi still likes men, even kind of stalks—mostly fantasizes about—a gorgeous one at work during lunch.

Her best friend, Kara, is determined that Naomi will be outgoing again. When Kara finds out who, as in a notorious playboy, Naomi is stalking at lunch, she plans to break Naomi of her lunchtime habit and bring her back into the real world. It’s just going to take a bit of deception.

Between all the deceiving, fangirling, and bumbling, Naomi might not be able to resist the temptation of turning her seven-month fantasy into reality. And really, so what if he’s a playboy or a demanding jerk? Her fantasies don’t include love or even like, just a bed or a couch or the back seat of a limo…

Reality might be just what she needs.


Jean Haus- you win- I’m hooked! I have not had the pleasure of reading any of the authors previous works but with this one alone, I am a fan!

Fangirls everywhere will relate to Naomi. She has had her heart broken and Olympic dreams dashed but everyday she finds it in her to scurry up from her basement cubicle to get a front row seat to see him, the guy in the suit, the perfection--the guy with the great ass! He is out of her league but hey, a girl can fantasize!

I really liked Mr. Jordan even at his worst. To see his transformation from the snooty “slave driving asshole” to just Reese, it was an easy transition, I was rooting for him.

I truly love when I am reading and the author makes me feel like I am a fly on the wall in my story- up close, personal. This whole book was that kind of wonderful!
From the over the top description of the f-o-o-d, “sliced fillet dribbled with lobster oil and served with caramelized shallots..” to taking the tour of the house in the Hampton's, and finally, the super steamy bedroom trysts, “ stay still for a moment he demanded, rearing back to watch the sudden slow torture.” Holy Jeez!

Front page to last, ‘The Reality of You’ was fun, light-hearted, sexy and a definite win for fan girls everywhere! Hands down of the most delectable reads this year!




When Jean Haus isn't writing, she's usually reading. Anything from young adult to historical fiction as long as there’s at least a bit of romance, she'll load it on her Kindle. She also loves to cook. And someday she will create the world’s best pot sticker.
