Resumen del Editor

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.

Truly fantastic

Why choose is going to be spicy, right? Well, yes, this was definitely spicy. Lauren can write spice! But here's the thing, the emotional connections were strong between our quartet as they Romcom it up, melt our faces off, and fall in love. I was pulled right into this story and loved every minute. I would be amiss if I didn't also mention the stars of the book Frances Furbottom (who really orchestrated the meet cute) and Donut. Furbabies and men who love them? Yes please!

The narrators were an all-star line up who I probably rave about with every book they do. But seriously, wow. Amazing acting and bringing this fun and heartwarming love story to life. Fantastic narration!

Overall rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5/5)
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (5/5)

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.

Spicy and fun!!

Goal!!!!! Or should I say, hat-trick? Lauren Blakely continues her My Hockey Romance series with a spicy, why choose romance featuring 3 men with completely different personalities and one feisty yoga instructor! Briar has had bad luck choosing men. Now after a mix up while making her exit from her latest wretched relationship she finds herself sharing a cabin with three hockey players from a rival team! Yes, she thinks they are all handsome, but when they all chime in to help her with an article to submit to her ex's column regarding how to be a good boyfriend, she may get more than she bargains for. Three points of view, three ways to romance a woman and three ways to bring her pleasure! But that 's not all! They like to share. Now it's only for the week they are in the cabin, right? With Rhys, Gavin, Hollis and Briar, there is more than meets the eye. Can they keep their hearts out of it? I loved this, not only for the article points. Each of these men were so different, bringing a new element to the mix. And Briar was strong, adventurous and passionate. Plus, how can I resist a book that includes a dachshund and a cat? This is a fun listen, and has left me wanting to hear the next in the series!

With a full cast narration like this one, nothing needs to be said. Samantha Brentmoor is the woman of this series, and she brings a vibrancy and passion to each role. Love her as Briar, with her insecurities and slowly lets her hair down. Bring in the cast of men, Teddy Hamilton the confident Hollis, Jason Clarke as Rhys the Englishman and Connor Crais as Gavin, the voyeur and it's nothing short of magic with them all together. Loved it!

5 STARS! Hot & humorous why-choose hockey romance!

A Lauren Blakely audiobook is always something special, but a fully casted Lauren Blakely audiobook is an experience. Well and Truly Pucked, the final book in Blakely’s My Hockey Romance series, is an immersive and utterly addictive reading event that showcases the author’s unparalleled storytelling skills. Blakely expertly weaves a tale of passion, humor, and heart in this rivals-to-lovers, forced proximity, reverse harem/why choose style hockey romance. Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke, Connor Crais and Teddy Hamilton’s individual and group performances were wonderful. Their portrayals of the sensual yoga instructor heroine and the three chivalrous, hockey-player heroes, their witty banter and off-the-charts chemistry came through my Air Pods loud and clear, drawing me right into their steamy encounters and heartwarming moments.

Blakely skillfully delves into the emotional complexities of a why choose/reverse harem style relationship, exploring the challenges and joys of navigating a love story with multiple partners. I followed along as Briar and the boys transitioned from friendship to something more, laughing, swooning and rooting for this unconventional quartet to find their happily ever after. With its captivating storytelling, brilliant narration and unforgettable characters, the audiobook version of Well and Truly Pucked is a must-listen for fans of steamy romance and why choose dynamics. Five smooches from me for Lauren Blakely’s Well and Truly Pucked!

Flirty, steamy and sweet why choose hockey romance

I have been loving this series and this one is hands down my favorite one. “Well and Truly Pucked” is a flirty, steamy and sweet why choose hockey romance with three hunky hockey players and one sweet yoga instructor.

Briar is a yoga instructor and she has been working on building her brand and launching her yoga app. But when she comes home one day to find out her boyfriend has packed her things and she needs a place to live. And he’s also keeping her cat. That doesn’t stand with her and while she’s working to get her cat back, three hockey players happen to walk by and help her. Rhys, Gavin, Hollis are teammates and best friends. Thanks to vacation mix up, the three end up sharing a rental home for a week. And Briar ends up spilling the secret that her ex is running a contest with her idea about the perfect boyfriend. And they agree to help for one week to show her everything she’s been missing.

This was such a fun story and I enjoyed it so much. I was laughing one moment and swooning the next moment. Briar is caring, smart and I admired her drive to start her own app. She went through some tough things with her mom when she was younger which hinder her trust in relationships. And the guys were all swoony and perfect in their own ways. Hollis is fun and so flirty, he had me cracking up with how he was with the other guys. Rhys is a positively cheeky Brit who already had a crush on Briar and I loved how considerate of Briar. Gavin is quieter but his confidence in wanting to help Briar shined through the story. The guys are great friends and that was important to them when they decided to all help Briar. It was their found family and that was non-negotiable which I loved. And boy, did they share well. The steamy scenes were steamy and some of my favorites by Lauren Blakely. Definitely have a fan and the A/C when listening to this one. I loved Donut the Dachshund. She had all the quirky dachshund traits that I love.

This cast was amazing! Samantha Brentmoor had me laughing and I loved her as Briar. Teddy Hamilton was perfect as the flirty Hollis. Connor Crais was the perfect choice to narrate as the broody defenseman, Gavin. And Jason Clarke’s British accent was great. He said every word just like a Brit would. And I loved that this was narrated in duet, it made the story even better.

Great writing

This was a fun book the author is great, the male narrators are amazing! The female is not. Everything sounds like a question from the female narrator, it gets more And more annoying as the book goes on. I have enjoyed all of the previous books, but the female narrator should be replaced for any future books, it's just so hard to listen to.
