Pucking Around

A Why Choose Hockey Romance (Jacksonville Rays, Book 1)

By: Emily Rath

Narrated by: Amy Hall, Alex Kydd, Ash Beverly

My name is Rachel Price, and two months ago, I walked away from the perfect man. Sweet and funny, and so hot it should be illegal—we shared one magical night. No names. No strings. I never thought I'd see him again.

I was wrong. It turns out Mr. Perfect is the playboy grinder for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL's hottest new hockey team . . . and I'm his new physical therapist. Oh, and the jerk doesn't even recognize me!

This fellowship is going to be the longest ten months of my life. Mr. Perfect Mistake will do anything to get back on my good side. Meanwhile, his best friend is the surly new equipment manager always riding my case. Worst of all, I've got an uncooperative goalie who thinks I can't tell he's hiding an injury!

This is my chance to prove myself, and I'm not risking it for anything. But with one unexpected night, one secret revealed, these men are ready to test all my limits. I can't fall for a player . . . let alone three. But if love is a game, these guys are playing to win.

Bonus content: Audio edition includes the spicy prequel novella That One Night.

Prequel included in audiobook!!

That One Night is included in this audiobook!!! No need to buy it separately.

I started reading this book in KU and bought the audio once it was released...best decision I made. The narrators were new for me and they all did a great job bringing the characters to life. Soooooo much spice, angst, and love in this story. It's now one of my favorite RH books.

Amazing Chemistry

Emily did an amazing job creating the chemistry between these characters. Love the banter, sass, and heat between the group. Can’t wait to see what happens in Tess’s book.

Fire on Ice

I’m now a converted hockey fan after reading this book. The narrators made everything feel alive.
Loved it.

Fast listen considering the length

Don’t be dissuaded by the length of this - it’s an easy listen so it’s not a slog to get through. This also includes Rachel and Jake’s introductory story. I’m learning Finnish and it’s not an easy language but the narrator still could have researched the Finnish way to say basic words like sauna and sami (or at least I think that’s what it was what she was going for). This would have been so good as a multicast narration, but the narrators did a good job with the way they were cast to do it.

Well that was a surprise

Now, I love spice in my books as much as the other girl but my my, I did not expect this. I held out all 24 hours so I guess that says something.

So truly amazing

After reading the book a few months ago, I immediately looked for the audio and was bummed I couldn’t find it. When it was announced it was coming out, I preordered it immediately! And it was so worth it! It comes with That One Night at the beginning which was such a welcome surprise! I cant wait for the rest of these to become audio. This series really is truly amazing! And oh so spicy 🥵 🌶️

HOT

Such a twisted love pyramid! It was hot and spicy! Very well written and narrated

love this book and author

Too good to pick just one part. Love the girl strength. most love is to the author to keep going with the story. I love being able to still find info about the characters after the book is over.

Very cool story . Good read!

Tried this book from an Author I’ve not read yet. I enjoyed the story and the growing of the characters.

Good book

This was a good book. I enjoyed every minute of this long book. It was a lot dirtier than I thought it would be.
