Pucked Love by Helena Hunting
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Helena Hunting has done it again. She’s written another OUTSTANDING Pucked romance.

“I’ll never put the lid on your jar.”

Helena Hunting writes outstanding romances. I’ve loved every book that I’ve read by her but I won’t lie, I have my favorites, and the Pucked series is it. I can say without a doubt that each of the Pucked books rates as a 5-star read for me and I love that Helena writes such witty, sexy, entertaining romances. I am a huge hockey buff so that’s how I stumbled upon the author several years back. At the time, the Pucked series only had two books, but I binge read them and everything I could get my hands on that Helena had written. Then I preordered each and every book thereafter.

“I found Darren, the man who molded himself into what I needed, who changed as I required, who kept his emotions locked down to protect me from myself, who never once put the lid on my jar.”

Pucked Love is the sixth and final book in the Pucked Series. I’m so sad for this moment as all of these characters have lived in my heart for years now, but Helena Hunting is sending readers off on a beautiful note. Pucked Love is Darren and Charlene romance, and it’s been in the making since the very beginning when Alex and Violet got together. It’s a kickass story that left me with all the feels. Darren and Charlene are both intensely private and unlike their friends, their relationship was slow to grow. The mystery that surrounds their relationship has become a bit of a joke amongst their circle of friends, but Pucking Love gives readers the inside look at all the sweet and sexy moments as only Helena Hunting delivers. With her benchmark verve and humor, Helena Hunting writes a romance that is equal parts fictitious and yet believable. And Darren stole my heart with his sweetness. He’s such an aloof character in the previous stories and getting into his innermost thoughts in Pucked Love made all the difference in the world. It’s the whole never judge a book by its cover scenario because Darren—and Charlene for that matter—are very deep characters who’ve lived very traumatic lives. Most authors I read would have made this book far more angsty, but Helena Hunting injects the perfect blend of fun and games to lighten the overall mood of the story without making it a rom-com.

“As much as I want things to change, one thing I want to keep her away from is my family, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to do that forever. Which is exactly how long I want to keep Charlene.”

Just like with each book I’ve read by Helena Hunting, Pucked Love sucked me straight in and kept my attention. I loved the plot and just when I was sure I knew how the book would end, Helena Hunting threw those beliefs out the window. ALL of the characters, both primary and secondary, will have you laughing, crying, and snorting at some point in the series… a fact that I had forgotten since this is the first year I haven’t reread the books multiple times because of my blogging responsibilities. Each book can be read as a standalone, however, to fully appreciate the stories I would stress that reading them in order is best. I promise once you pick up on of these books, you won’t stop reading until you’ve read them all… binge reading Helena Hunting’s books is the only way to go 😊 And be prepared, they are humorous to the point of stomach champs and sexy enough to send you in search of a cold shower, your spouse or B.O.B!!! 😉
