Pucked Love; Pucked #7 (Series)

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pucked Love, the final book in the Pucked series, Helena has saved the mysterious Charlene and Darren couple for this last book. While the couple has been a thing (at times we weren’t sure if they were a couple or not given all the secrecy) since the first book, the mystery surrounding their relationship finally comes into focus after several long years.

We finally have answers to our questions; Are they really a couple? What’s with the pearls that never leave Charlene’s neck? Why all the secrecy? Why is Darren so intense?

I also had other burning questions on top of all the Darren and Charlene things, for instance; if this is the last book in the amazing, lovable, awesome Pucked series, then what is going to happen to everybody that I have already come to love from each and every book before? I know I don’t ask much. Seriously though, Helena had a lot to cover and only one book to cover it all in.

Let me tell you…Pucked Love was pucking perfection!!

Darren and Charlene are both broken. Broken in a way I’ve never read in a character before. Their two souls fit together in way that was meant to be and it was beautiful to read. This is the kind of book that reminds me of why I read and Darren is the kind of hero that is imperfectly perfect.

As sad as I am to see this series come to an end, this book does the Pucked world justice.

Soooo…..as I won’t answer and give away spoilers to all the burning questions I had going into this final book, I will let you discover them for yourself, I will however leave you with this brief synopsis…

For two years Darren allowed Charlene room to play by her rules, afraid to capture and hold his firefly knowing how skittish she really is. While most assumed their relationship hasn’t progressed further than it has because of him, well he didn’t care what people assumed, he only cared about Charlene and keeping her safe. He knew any push on his part only worked against his favor so he took what he could from her, which was everything. He would never admit it to her because he is afraid of losing the most precious person in his life, but she is everything he’s ever wanted.

Charlene is terrified of losing Darren. At the end of their season someone from the hockey team is going to be traded and it’s a very real possibility that it could be him. Charlene never meant to get attached, she always makes it a point to never get attached to anyone, but somehow in the past couple years she has. Not only to Darren, but to Violet, Lily, Sunny and even Poppy. Darren and Charlene haven’t made any formal commitments to one another or even moved in together, so why it’s bothering her she she doesn’t know, but the closer to the end of hockey season the more she fears losing Darren. What if he doesn’t feel the same and she ends up losing?

Except that I have no intention of giving her up.

New Release – Accidentally Yours

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Accidentally Yours
Author: Ilsa Ames
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 5, 2018

BLURB

Possessive, dominant, undeniable.
She and I are strangers,
But there’s a billion-dollar inheritance at stake.
It’s simple: get fake-married, get the money.
But I don’t want her for a little while. I want her for always.

It’s all supposed to be pretend. Get fake married, have a kid, prove I can have a family, and I get a billion-dollar inheritance from the father I always hated.

It’s all pretend, until I say “I do”. And suddenly, I don’t want sweet, innocent, sassy little June “just for now”. I want her forever.

We’re supposed to play the part for the cameras and the lawyers. I’m not supposed to fall for her. I’m not supposed to want her like this. I’m not supposed to totally fucking lose myself in claiming her body, and possessing her, and just wanting more of her.

We faked it at the altar. But there’s no faking it in the bedroom. It’s all supposed to be pretend. But once I get my hands on her, she’ll know I’m playing for keeps.

I’m her first. Oh, and she’ll be my last. She’ll be my everything, forever, even if she doesn’t know it yet.

This was all about the money at first. Now, it’s all about her.

Accidentally Yours is a full-length contemporary arranged-marriage romance. Hot, steamy, and all the feels, with one extra-hot obsessed alpha hero. Safe, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed happy ever after!

Author: Rebecca Jenshak

Release Date: November 5, 2018

BLURB

You know those stories where the smart girl tutors the dumb jock? This isn’t it.

Blair
What’s the probability of insulting the one guy on campus I need to help me pass statistics? If I knew, I wouldn’t be standing in front of Wes Reynolds begging him to tutor me.

Basketball player, sexy, arrogant, always sleeping through class… these are the things I knew about him. What I didn’t know is that he is a seriously smart jock.

Wes
What’s the best way to get rid of the peppy and unrelenting girl that keeps asking me to tutor her? If I knew, I wouldn’t be staring at her tan legs and attempting to teach her statistics.

Sorority girl, fine as f**k, determined, ball buster… these are the things I knew about her. What I didn’t know is that she is all the things I didn’t realize I wanted or needed.

Or that one semester with her would change everything.

EXCERPT 

“Rise and shine,” Joel says as he nudges me. I’m not asleep. I wish I were. My eyes are closed, hat pulled down, but there’s no sleep to be had.
“She’s coming back for more.” The tone in his voice is almost inspired.
I don’t have to look up to know who he’s talking about, but I do anyway. She’s the most entertaining thing about this class. Open my eyes and lift the hat, turn it backward so my view isn’t the least bit blocked.
Today she’s wearing little pink shorts that show off tan legs, yellow tennis shoes that don’t match but somehow work, and a bracelet with a little charm around her left ankle. It’s too small to make out, but I stare anyway. Her brown hair is pulled up in a high ponytail, and she has a megawatt smile plastered on her face. A big bow on top of her head is all she’d need to look like head cheerleader of my high school fantasies.
“Wes, hey, can I talk to you for a second?”
“What’s up?”
I’m hella impressed by the balls on this chick. She’s put her foot in her mouth, not once, but twice, and damn near insulted the entire student athlete population, but she keeps coming back. She has determination and grit. I admire that about her.
I also am not in the least bit offended by her assumption that I’m a dumb jock. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised she came right out and asked who my tutor was, but I know exactly what it looks like. I’ve fed into the stereotype for years, doing nothing to make it seem otherwise. Well, nothing but get straight A’s.
“I have sort of a favor.”
“What’s up?” I stand to walk with her out of the class.
“The tutor center was a bust. I know you said . . .” She looks like she’s choosing her words carefully. “Do you have old study notes or tests from previous semesters?”
“Still convinced I’m not capable of passing on my own, huh?”
“I’m sorry, really, no offense. I just want in on whatever study materials you’re using. I can’t afford to fail another test. What’s your secret?”
The secret? I’m fucking smart. Photographic memory smart and statistics is my whole world, but I can’t resist messing with her.
“You know, saying no offense doesn’t make whatever you’re saying less offensive. It just makes you feel better about saying something offensive.”
Joel snickers behind me. I just can’t resist fucking with her. She’s making it too easy.
“Sorry. I’m really so sorry. What about the other guys on the team? Anyone have any awesome math tutors who aren’t available to us non-jock students? I can pay.”
“Couldn’t say for sure, but I don’t think so. Most the guys hold their own academically.” I lean in catching a whiff of her hair. It smells good—like sugar cookies or candy canes or something sugary sweet that I want to sink my teeth into. “Shocking, I know.”
Her shoulders slump in defeat, and I can tell she’s finally accepted that I have no answers for her. At this point, I almost wish I knew of someone to send her to. I don’t exactly travel in circles that clue me in on secret study sessions and underground tutor societies.
“Thanks anyway.” She gives a little wave with the hand clutched around the strap of her backpack.
Joel catches up to me, and we watch as she crosses the campus toward the library. “Dude. That chick . . .”
“I know,” I say, and we continue to stare after her completely awe stricken.
