Publisher's summary

A hockey romance performed by a full cast including Samantha Brentmoor, Teddy Hamilton, Jason Clarke and Connor Crais!

I swear I only asked one hot hockey-playing friend to give me romance lessons for the week, but three hockey stars volunteered.

The post breakup plan was simple escape from my toxic ex to a vacation rental and stay far away from men.

But thanks to a booking snafu I'm accidentally sharing it with three hot hockey players. One's flirty, one's broody, one's a cheeky Brit, and they're all the most attentive men I've ever met.

After a couple of glasses of champagne, I'm telling them about the contest my ex is running on his dating advice web site. The topic? What makes a great boyfriend, and I want to submit a column.

All three offer to show me every single thing I've been missing in and out of bed.

We make a deal for one week only. It's only for revenge, of course. I work for the other hockey team in the city so it'd be a big mistake to truly get involved with a rival, let alone three.

Even though I melt under their touch. They show me what it means to be adored, cherished and romanced.

But as the week ticks on, what started as revenge fast turns into me giving my heart to three men I can't have. Looks like I'm well and truly pucked.

Sexy, hot, funny! A must read!

This book was so steamy, hot, sexy, erotic, Soun worthy, funny and It left me wanting more. The narrators were absolutely spectacular! I loved everything about this book and more.

Hockey Players!!!!

Lauren Blakely has once again written another great book featuring hockey players. She has a knack for creating great characters with incredible chemistry. The narrators she has perform her books are exceptional! I love them all. This book definitely has the steam factor, yet sweet moments. Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke, Connor Crais and Teddy Hamilton all were perfect in this book. I could envision so many details.

Loved it

I just want to say that this duet narration is my favorite especially hearing Connor, Teddy and Jason speak more than a few chapters like in other books. This just made it better, listening in on each of their personalities. I gotta say I did not know Jason could do the British accent. I enjoyed it and the slight different voice he gave Steven, first time he does not sound so deep, although I enjoy his grumbling voice. As always, Connor never disappoints. His velvety, deep, silky smooth voice just entrances me every time I hear him. Teddy, I just cannot get enough of that voice, he oozes personality and brings every word to life. Now Samantha, it’s the first time I listen to her narration and can’t say that it was bad. I enjoyed how they all interact together. This review is subject to change because I am not done with this book.

This is everything you want in an audiobook

My face hurts after listening to Well and Truly Pucked because I smiled the entire time, it was that good. The narrators were perfect and the chemistry was amazing. I was so giddy waiting for this book that I giggled through the introduction I was so excited! Did not disappoint!

What happens when you don't have to choose?

Briar has been wronged by her boyfriend - not only has he stolen her idea for a contest, he's trying to keep her cat. She's trying to break into their apartment to get her cat when Rhys, Gavin and Hollis come along and decide to help her. She knows them from being a yoga instructor with their hockey team. Briar decides to rent a cottage during a festival so she'll have a place to live but it was mistakenly rented out already to --- Rhys, Gavin and Hollis. They decide that they can share the cottage for a week. The guys decide to help Briar find her true self by showing her how true boyfriends should take care of their girl. They all decide to have this arrangement for the week that they are at the cottage but to stay friends afterward. When they get back to real life after the week is over, they have all separately decided that they love each other. How will that revelation set with the others? I like the multicast narration of Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke, Connor Crais and Teddy Hamilton.

Why Choose?

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book so I got to read and listen to it in one day each. What a way to end a series! I loved these boys. I appreciated how Lauren decided to change it up for the last book and add a third guy. It made it stand out. One of the things I loved about this book was how different it is from other Why Choose books. What Lauren does best is flesh out a character. All four of them had serious baggage that they had to overcome in their lives. We got to know them all on a deeper level. It wasn’t just all about the spice. (Not that there wasn’t plenty of that!) Another highlight for me was the list that Briar reads at the end about what makes a great boyfriend. All those things are things we all could be doing in our own relationships.
As for the audio, Samantha brought it all home for me. She was along for the ride from day one and finished strong. As for the boys, you all know I love this trio. Gavin, was of course my favorite, (cough Connor cough). The way they took care of Briar and treated her was magic. After this series I have only one question, Lauren, where are my hockey players?

Loved the duet!

I love when an audiobook is done in duet and this was some of my favorite audio book readers on the same book! Definitely will listen to this one again! I loved the bloopers at the end, I’ve never heard that on an audiobook before.

Awesome story for a mood reader like me!

I read a lot and had just finished a darker romance when I noticed this book and audiobook had been automatically added to my library. I've read the three before this one in the series and really liked them so I had preorder this one. Let me just start by saying one of the best book purchases I've made and my library is extremely large digitally. I tend to buy books digitally and pair them with the audio book so I can do things around my house if not nothing will get done. Like I said before am a mood reader. I read contemporary, fantasy, dark romance, and paranormal. All with romance and 95% with spice. I also have a physical book collection but that is mostly fantasy, you know the ones I want with me if society falls, lol. Sorry about the long review, with all that said I am buying the physical book for this one and I loved, loved, loved the audio narration! The cast could not be better! Do yourself a favor and listen to this book. It is funny and friendly. it's a great book that will put you in a great mood.

Loved this multicast duet narration!

Yes, Briar..You go, lady! Well and Truly Pucked by Lauren Blakely was a fun, flirty, and spicy why-choose hockey romance that bent my heart in all the right places. Each throuple in Lauren’s My Hockey Romance series has been so much fun, and I’m glad she added a third hunky hero for Briar’s story for the ultimate HEA with her fine fellas.

Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke, Connor Crais, and Teddy Hamilton perform this audiobook in duet-style narration, and this quartet was amusing, steamy magic together. Samantha’s light, flirty tone matched Briar’s passionate persona as she moved on from her past and worked hard for future goals. At the same time, she added some sensual undertones to her performance when voicing Briar’s newfound delectable desires. Teddy’s warm, laid-back tone added a loveable flair to charismatic, dirty-talking Hollis, and Jason’s deep charming British accent showcased Rhys’ dedication and commitment to please Briar. (swoon) I was completely taken aback by Connor’s low rumbling tone for Gavin. When he gave into temptation and his voice turned dominant and possessive, I was here for it. (Hello, sir!) All four narrators created an undeniable longing and steamy chemistry right from the start.

Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of a why-choose hockey romance with a badass yoga instructor, three hockey hotties who love to share, a feisty silver tabby, an adorable dachshund, hot tub mishaps, getaways to Lucky Falls, close proximity, characteristics of a great boyfriend, funding your fitness app, tag team kissing, special gifts, face masks, hot air balloon dates, all the group steamy times, and a HEA that is meant to truly be, then you will love Briar, Hollis, Rhys, and Gavin’s romance. I always look forward to more from Lauren Blakely.

Hilarious, heartfelt and super hot and sizzling!

This is another fun and spicey romance in Blakely's 'why choose' hockey romance series! Briar is in a hilarious predicament, when three hockey hotties happen by, while she is trying to retrieve her cat from her ex's apartment. They recognize her as the hot yoga teacher that they are attracted to, so they happily help her out. When they later have another chance meeting, they all happen to be booked together at the same rental when they are working at a local festival. Briar is attracted to Hollis, Rhys, and Gavin, who all have very different personalities, but fit so perfectly together. She hasn't had any luck in the 'O' department and Hollis offers to help. When Rhys and Gavin arrive, they are more than willing to show Briar how a good man would take care of the woman he cares for. Briar soon finds out that what she always needed was these three fun, thoughtful, and adoring men. After a week of fun games, and hot steamy nights, what will happen when they have to go back to their busy lives, that includes Briar working for their rival team? Will they be able to forget the connection they all have, or will they be brave enough to fight for each other? I fell hard for Briar, Hollis, Rhys, and Gavin and cheered hard for their HEA. I really enjoyed the authenticity of their slow-burn relationship as they organically came together with a genuine 'why choose' attitude that brought them together so beautifully.
Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke, Connor Crais, and Teddy Hamilton are absolutely fantastic in this full cast narration! Brentmoor really brings her 'A' game as she easily portrays Briar with her vulnerabilities growing into a confident woman and seductress. I loved Clarke's accent as he plays the cheeky Brit, Rhys. Crais was perfect as the surly voyeur who loves to direct the fun. Hamilton brings a sweet and fun flirtiness that completes their ménage. They all bring their own unique flair that makes their characters come alive, making this an engaging performance and listen.
I loved the witty banter, the charming characters, and the hilarious, heartfelt and super hot and sizzling story that is a definite hat-trick!
