Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Anyone who knows me knows I really don't know much about hockey and everything I know about hockey, I know from reading hockey romances and hanging out talking to hockey loving women so if I get these terms wrong forgive me, but I'm going to try here. When I read Pucked it was a slapshot to my reading soul; it took my breath away, it made me laugh and it made me happy. Pucked Up left me feeling like I'd been sent to the sin bin; while I liked it, I didn't love it and to be honest I wasn't sure that it was a good love match for those two characters. Pucked Over however is a breakaway hit for me. I loved this story and this couple's round-about way of falling into a relationship and into love. 
 Randy "Balls" Ballistic and Lily LeBlanc met under unusual circumstances and shared a first kiss under even more unusual circumstances. One wild night and then a big misunderstanding left them on frenemy status, but a month later they are together in the same area again and they can't keep their body parts to themselves. I loved the intensity these two had for each other from the start; their connection was most definitely lust, yet there was something special from the start. 
 Randy was quick to realize Lily had body issues most likely brought on by her jerk wad of an ex and he made sure he let her know how exciting and desirable he found every part of her. Despite Randy being a big time hockey star, Lily treated him just like a regular guy. She didn't expect gifts and expensive things from him and she knew his reputation as a serial dater and leaver. The both went in to their arrangement of "fun until it's not" with eyes open or so they thought, but it becomes apparent they both are having feelings they aren't sure they want pretty quickly. 
 Both Randy and Lily have some trust issues stemming from AWOL parents so it was no wonder they had a hard time believing what they had was anything more than a good time. Randy was convinced he would be a serial cheater like his Dad and then there was the issue of him ever trusting a woman with his long time secret. Lily's dad was a pro player who dashed her dreams of being an Olympic figure skater when he abruptly stopped his child support payment and he Mom's need for a man in her is the reason Lily was in a long term on again, off again relationship with a guy who didn't treat her right. It was interesting watching them grow closer while both convincing themselves it was just a fling, a rebound, a fun time. 
 Randy really impressed me with his devotion to Lily and I have to admit I loved that all of his friends saw the writing on the wall that he had feelings way before he did. I admired Lily for forcing the issue even when it caused her pain. While they could have communicated better, in the end they needed time to understand their feelings and time to realize how much they needed the other in their lives. 
 Pucked Over was a bit more of a sentimental story than the other two but not in a bad way and don't worry there was still plenty of raunchy, crude and thoroughly funny times. It is honestly the best of both the previous books and this couple is my favorite to date.
