Pucked Off (The Pucked Series Book 6) Kindle Edition
“Hockey’s resident bad boy, completely out of control” like I don’t know what they say about me.
I’m notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I’m a player on and off the ice.
This is who I am.
Until her – I was her first kiss at a party she shouldn’t have been at.
I shouldn’t want her because I’m toxic and I know it.
But I want her more than anything.
I should leave her alone because she’s all the good things in this world.
But I won’t be able to walk away.
Because I don’t know how to stop once I’m already falling.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017Format: KindleVerified PurchaseHOW DO I GET OVER THAT? Seriously, how on earth do I get over such a phenomenal story?
I'm just ::: stares into space, grasping for words::: I'm overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by all I'm feeling, and all I'm thinking. I almost don't know where to start with this review. And I most certainly feel as though I just had a moment. A BOOK MOMENT. One where I read something that affected me so deeply, I can't even form words to describe it.
I mean, my first response after finishing was to release several breaths, close my eyes, and savor the moment, the journey, I had just gone on. And then I had an immediate urge to go and re-rate other books I had read in the past because this story changes the way you see things. This book PUMMELS you in the feels. And I'm here to tell you that I have MAJOR FEELINGS for this book. My feelings are so HUGE, so MASSIVE, so ALL ENCOMPASSING they can barely be contained. And because of that this review is going to be long-winded and a little all over the place, so be prepared.
First off, before I even begin to get into things, I want to say.... I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS. I was not expecting the deep, torturous, gut you, make you cry, emotions that Pucked Off had in it. I mean, I am no stranger to this standalone series. I have read Pucked (which I LOVED) and I did read Pucked Up (which I, unfortunately, didn't totally love and because of that I passed on Lily and Randy's books. That said, I do plan to go back and read those now)! So yes, I know this series, and it's always been light and sassy and kind of OTT on the humor. And so, going into Pucked Off, I was expecting the same light feels as before... BUT NO. JUST NO.
NO. NO. NO. NO. NOOOOOOO!
Lance's book is deep and ache inducing and completely heartfelt. And it, from the very first sentence, steals the air from your lungs and traps you. I was literally STOLEN from the first chapter. It gave me a sensation of feeling fevered with the need, the urge, to know what was going to happen. Only a few books have done that to me in the past, and this was absolutely in the "group" of reads that I would classify as unforgettable. And I think so much of that had to do with Lance Romero.
Lance was one of the most breathtaking characters I have ever had the pleasure of reading. This man DESTROYED me. I mean, DE-FUCKING-STROYED ME! I had this clawing need to climb inside my kindle, wrap my arms around him, and LOVE HIM. LOVE HIM DEEPLY and THOROUGHLYuntil he knew he was an amazing book soul. This man is broken. So damn broken. His past is full of demons that are haunting him. And those demon's have shaped his perception of the world, of who he is as a person, and Lance is barely getting by. His view is so distorted that his destructive patterns are ripping him apart at the seams. And things are coming close to not only affecting his career, but his friendships, his life, his everything.
Lance, though, is the definition of a book boyfriend. But not in the way you're thinking. Not in that over the top, I am man, I am alpha, cookie cutter way we are used to. No, he is a book boyfriend because his struggle makes him FEEL REAL, ALIVE. It gives him LIFE to the reader and makes him RELATABLE. He is simply so easy to love because at his core, this man is good. HE IS ALL THINGS THAT DEFINE GOOD. And you just can't stop yourself from falling. It's a visceral, overpowering sensation.
But Lance doesn't see himself as anything of worth, and his behavior breaks you as a reader. When this mystery girl enters the picture, she breathes life into Lance's dark world. Honestly, this girl takes this book from SPECTACULAR to PHENOMENAL. She, for me, was one of the most incredible heroines I have ever read. The way she dealt with Lance, even despite the pain he had caused her in the past (and oh yeah, they have a past), was AWE INSPIRING. She was so sweet, so generous, kind, smart and forgiving, I was enthralled by her.
Reading Lance's love story invigorated me as a reader. Lance's vulnerability when it comes to this mystery woman was refreshing, and watching their relationship take shape inspired me, and it made me realize why I LOVE reading romance. There is something so very profound about the concept of soulmates. And I feel like that is what keeps me a romance reader. The idea of having that one person that is DESTINED to be yours and only yours.
I JUST LOVE IT.
And I love that sensation of falling in love as the characters fall. It's intoxicating. The way Helena Hunting wrote this book, I felt as though I was living it. It was palpable, visceral, tangible, like I could reach out and touch this romance, make it my own. I swear, I'm crazy in love with these characters. Their love story was raw and heartbreaking, beautiful and life giving, and that was because Lance's mystery girl was so good and pure, and Lance, who's broken and sad and desperate, lets this woman in and allows her to INSPIRE him to change and heal and CHOOSE a new way of living.
God, I hope that even makes sense, lol. But this was so much more than I was expecting and I was taken by how deep I fell in love with these characters. I truly don't know what else to say except, it's beautiful. The story is so beautiful, and I feel so romanced by it. I just want to talk about it, think about it, and LIVE in it forever.
Overall, you can obviously tell that I am LOSING my mind over Pucked Off. I MORE THAN LOVED IT. It's a standalone romance. YOU CAN START the Pucked Series here. Really, you can. And if I were you, I would. I just think out of ALL the books that have come out of this series, this is hands down the best. The most real and heartfelt. I give it infinite stars. I know I will always think of this book when I think of my ULTIMATE favorites. Romantic, sweet, heartbreaking and unforgettable, Lance Romero is the reason books boyfriends exist, and Pucked Off should be a mandatory read for every romance reader around. Phenomenal. Breathtaking. It was everything.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseEnjoyed the pairing of Lance, pro hockey player, and Poppy, massage therapist.
They met years ago at a party when they were young teenagers. Then again, 1 year ago, at a party at Lance's house, but the problem is he doesn't remember her. Now, she is his massage therapist.
Poppy has had a crush on Lance since that party years ago when they shared a kiss, her first kiss. Now she gets to touch him all over, try8ng to help him.
Interesting interactions with friends, teammates and more.
Great tropes, wonderful characters, updates of previous cou0les from the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseGood story for a rom com. Binged read and really enjoyed the realistic characters and conversations. The characters are relatable and the steam is balanced.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis was my favorite book out of the series! Something just tugged at my heart with Lance. I absolutely loved this story!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2018Format: Audible AudiobookVerified Purchase4.5 stars — Oh wow, another audiobook win! I’m telling you, there is nothing like listening to a mild Scottish accent. Now, I will caveat that by saying I have no idea how authentic it was — I know Mr. Morgan does not normally have an accent. But for someone with no ear for authenticity, it was swoony. I absolutely ADORED the way Jacob Morgan performed Lance…he made all of the emotions come alive, and he made my heart pitter-patter. I was worried about Rose Dioro at first, b/c she was so…delicate sounding. But she totally grew on me and made Poppy come alive. I also loved the way she would voice other characters, and how she would voice Lance as well. Seriously, this is another case where I believe the narrators took a great book and made it even better. I didn’t want to stop listening, and honestly sat in my chair listening to “just one more chapter” way too much when I should have been doing other things. That’s what I call a success. Now on to the actual book!
I was a bit concerned with the way the book started with Lance. We get a fairly explicit scene of him with another woman (women) at the very start, and normally that would be a complete turnoff for me. But in the end I think it helped me to truly understand the f'ed up nature of his toxic relationship with Tash. It gave us immediate insight into how he saw himself, how he felt about sex, and all of the other emotions roiling around in him. And wow…my heart broke for him. Truly it did. I can’t even imagine what he went through in his childhood, and then to have Tash come along and take advantage of that. I completely understood why his damage made him feel that he deserved that kind of treatment, even as I cried for him. There was so much to his character, and I fell in love with him immediately. Which is not to say that I didn’t want to smack him for some of his choices, but I also understood why he made some of those choices. And he was seriously adorable — I loved his addiction to sweets, it only added to his boyish charm. I felt like we got to see him grow throughout the book, and truly accept the things he couldn’t change, but also strive to heal what he could.
Poppy was freaking adorable as well. I was initially annoyed with her for keeping their past a secret, but in the end I was okay with how that all played out. It made sense for them. I loved how patient and kind she was, but that she also wasn’t willing to put up with all of Lance’s crap. I loved that while she was a quieter, shyer character, that didn’t mean she wasn’t strong. She stayed true to who she was, even if it made her stand out. I loved how dedicated she was to the people in her life, and to her job.
And the two of them together made my heart explode. They had so much chemistry in the steamy sense, but I also truly felt their connection on the emotional level. They both made me giddy with how much they liked each other, and I was rooting for them not to get caught up in drama. I appreciated that when the conflict came, I was okay with both of their reactions. I hurt for them both, but I thought they both reacted as well as they could. It made the resolution so sweet.
So yeah, total success for me. I’ve only read one other in this series, Pucked, and I wasn’t a big fan of Violet in that one (though I LOVED Alex). So I was leery of more books in this series, b/c the humour in that one was a bit overdone. I can honestly say that this book had a completely different feel, though it still worked well within the series. So if you were like me and got tired of the beaver jokes, I highly recommend giving this one a shot. And I highly recommend opting for the audio, b/c both narrators knocked it out of the park.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want or let? No, need, you need to read this book!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWhat if everything you thought you knew about Lance "Romance" Romero was wrong. Just an illusion, a distortion of the truth?
This book had all the feels & lovers of this series will not be disappointed. New readers will love it to & will want to go back to where it all began.
Lance's life is not as charmed nor as care free as it may seem. He holds his cards close to his chest & his demons even closer.
He showed his cards once with the wrong person & she took them & kept them for her own advantage & to use them to keep Lance isolated & believing that she was what he deserved.
Only a girl from his past becomes his now, his present & hopefully his future. She slowly shows him that the guilt he carries is not his burden to hold. She shines a light on his darkness to allow his light to shine.
Their story is not without it's roadblocks but it is definately worth the ride.
Highly recommend this book & hope that you love it as much as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazing read from Helena - This tops the list so far!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI love Helena Hunting as an author - ALL of her books are outstanding reads. The Pucked series in it's entirety is just brilliant, each character is brought to life in her story telling and words. This latest one in the series has a slightly different change of pace and really does tug on your heartstrings - proving that everyone deserves love in their lives. Read them all but do start at the beginning. You'll fall in love with them all! Leave Lance till last - he's completely worth it! More, more, more Helena you amazing woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purely Amazing!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI think this has now become my favourite book in this series of standalones! I was a bit weary of Lance at first given how he was portrayed in the earlier books but I figured he had to have some secrets that would redeem his earlier behaviour. Lance and Poppy were magical together. She was everything he needed to mend himself and start feeling again! She managed to pull him out of his darkness. Lance was amazing and probably my favourite Hero I've read about in a while. The chemistry between these two characters was off the charts and I was swooning the whole way through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favourite of the Pucked series. I
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI haven't read the series in order. I read the first and second books in the series and then this one caught my eye. I couldn't stop reading. Poppy and Lance's story was my favourite more my pace. Poppy is so sweet and giving. Lance is broken by his past and a past relationship which still encroaches on his present day life. Poppy is his new begining and freedom from the past. Loved this book very much.
