Pucked Off, an all-new emotional and sexy STANDALONE from Helena Hunting is LIVE!!
Pucked Off by Helena Hunting
Genre: Contemporary Romance
***A Standalone novel in The Pucked Series***
I’m NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance “Romance."
I’m notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I’m a player on and off the ice. I’m the one women with no inhibitions want.
Not because I like the notoriety, but because I don’t know how to be any other way.
I have secrets. Ones I shared with the wrong person, and she used them against me. Sometimes she still does. I should cut ties. But she makes it difficult, because she’s the kind of bad I deserve.
At least that’s what I believed until someone from my past gets caught up in my present. She’s all the good things in this world. She lights up my dark.
I shouldn’t want her.
But I do.
I should leave her alone.
But I won’t.

Knowing that this was going to be very first Helena Hunting read, I was beyond excited to start this. I made a snack, grabbed my favorite blanket, and parked myself on my very comfortable sofa because I had no plans to move any time soon. Now after finishing this, I can honestly say that I regret not reading the other books in the series because this was one so good!! Am I a new fan of this author now? You bet. Am I an idiot for not being on board sooner? Hell yes.
“I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want her. I don’t want to claim. Fuck. Devour. I want to be worthy, and I’m afraid I never will be. “
Lance “Romance” Romero is not your average guy. He’s always been content to be known as the party guy and the one who starts fights on the ice but there’s so much more than meets the eye. Growing up in a difficult childhood has made him prone to chaos that he’s always seems to find himself apart of. Having a scandal of his own no so long ago with the former team’s trainer, Lance is now trying his best to move forward and leave all bad stuff behind him.
When a incident injures most of his body, he’s forced to see a physical therapist to work out his kinks. No problem right? Wrong. Lance doesn’t like to be touch and seeing that visiting a massage therapist requires touching, he’s not in a good position. But he’s about to learn the true meaning of the midas touch and meet the one woman who will forever change the course of his life.
“Poppy is nothing like the women I usually end up in bed with.
She’s not brazen. She’s not looking to break conventions. She’s the opposite, and I want to be exactly what she needs, except I’m not sure…..”
Poppy has always loved her pretty simple life. She’s content and she likes the fact that things are easy and drama free. When she temporarily takes on a new client, she doesn’t expect to see her past staring at her in the face. So what do you do when the one person who you never forgot about is now your uninvited present?
I really enjoyed this story and I loved the fact that Poppy and Lance had different childhoods but their bond was so strong from day one. They had an unspoken kindship that made their connection seemed flawless and their attraction they had with each other felt very natural. I did have one major issue with this one though and quite frankly it left me extremely frustrated with a certain character to the point where I’m still questioning things. I really wished that this problem was handled differently but that’s just me. Aside from that, I think if you’ve been a fan of this series, then you’re going to fall in love with this one.

Excerpt:
Armed with my clipboard, I walk down the hall to the waiting room. Lance is impossible to miss. Despite the fact that he’s wearing a sweatshirt and the hood is covering half of his face, he’s more than six feet of broad, hockey-playing man. He’s so wide his shoulders encroach on the chairs on either side, which would explain why no one is sitting next to him. He’s slouched down so his head rests on the back of the chair, and his hands are clasped in his lap, a baseball cap hanging off one knee. His lips, plush and soft—I know since I’ve had them on mine; it might have been a decade ago, but I remember it clearly—are parted. He looks like he’s asleep. I clear my throat. “Lance Romero?” He doesn’t move. Bernadette, the receptionist, gives me a meaningful look. I clear my throat again and call his name a second time. He jolts awake and the hood falls back, exposing his face. It’s not in good shape. He has a black eye and bruises on his left cheek. There’s a fly bandage across one eyebrow. Sadly, he’s still hot. He blinks a few times, yawns, and smacks his lips, his tongue touching the split in the bottom one. His gaze sweeps the room and finally lands on me. Heat explodes in my cheeks and courses through my limbs, warming me from the inside out as he starts at my sneaker-clad feet and roams up over my yoga pants to my company-issued T-shirt before stopping at my face. I can’t look directly at him for more than a couple of seconds. I sincerely hope he doesn’t remember me. I cannot go there and also be professional. I’m sure the smile he gives me has melted many a panty off a slutty bunny. Mine stay right where they’re supposed to, wedged up my ass. I force a polite, professional veneer. “I’m ready for you now.”
