What the Puck? by Crystal Perkins {a review}

 

Have you been thinking that you could really go for a new hockey romance novel? We'll I've got you covered! What The Puck? by Crystal Perkins is now live! This is the second, full length, novel in the Metros Hockey series. This time, we are getting a frenemies to lovers story with a bit of drama.

Seti loves his job as a professional hockey player. Other things he loves: cooking and reality tv. Do people know those two little tidbits about him? Absolutely not. He keeps that on lockdown.  Another thing people don't know, he's got a bit of a crush on Diana. Yes, Diana, as in Rock's personal assistant. The same Diana that he is constantly bickering with. There is just something about her that draws him in. Meanwhile Diana is struggling with the fact that she might be catching feelings for Seti. That should not happen. They fight constantly. Yet at the end of the day, there's something there that might be worth fighting for. That is if Kate doesn't get in the way. Kate's a whole different story, and she has her eyes set on Seti. She'll do whatever it takes for him to become hers.

THIS BOOK! Oh this book. Oh how I enjoyed it. Now I'll be honest, I struggled a bit with Rock and Sarai's story, but I still enjoyed it. Yet I was worried that this might be an ongoing theme where I struggled a bit. THANKFULLY that is not the case. Seti and Diana's story was so dang good. From the frenemies to lovers storyline, to everything with Kate, to Diana's past being explained, to the encounter with the person from her past, to the appearance/mention of 3 familiar characters, I loved it all. (Those 3 characters are Luke Griffin, Darcy, and Reina. If you've read the Griffin Brothers series, or Corrigan & Co, then you know these names!)

I continue to fall for the characters that Crystal Perkins brings to life. Her books are such fun, easy reads that have you diving completely into the story. Whether it is the alphaness of Griffin brothers, the stories set in the Corrigan & Co world, her sports romances, or any others, they are just so good. I am so glad that I discovered her books back in March of 2020. 

I think it should be fairly obvious that I highly recommend What the Puck. Definitely worth the read, and I think you'll fall for Seti and Diana. Now I have to patiently wait for the story featuring Santos. My gut tells me that one is going to be a best friend's sibling romance, and I am HERE FOR IT!

Thank you for reading my thoughts about What the Puck, and witness me fangirling over the books Crystal Perkins has created.

From author Crystal Perkins comes a brand-new stand alone, enemies to lovers romance novel set in her Metros Hockey Series.

Seti

I've been pursued by women during my time as a professional hockey player, but I never expected what's happening to me now. A sweet looking grandma is following me everywhere and it's getting a little scary. So scary I have to hire an undercover bodyguard, and ask for help from someone who hates me. Diana and I got off on the wrong foot, and I keep putting that foot in my mouth over and over again.

Diana

Seti Redlin has been a thorn in my side since we met. I tolerate him because he's my boss' friend, but I want to stab him most days. Or kiss him. But, I can't do either. What I can do is help him avoid his stalker and her friends. That's all this is. Just helping him out. He's a hockey player and I know better than to get involved with one of those again.

Innocent touches during late night strategy sessions lead to steamy kisses and unexpected feelings. But is it enough for them both to trust that what they have is real and not just part of the game?
