Synopsis (Goodreads):

PUCKED BY A MONSTER—sounds steamy, right?

Only I’m not supposed to be chasing romance. Not when I have to coach my cousin’s team to chase their dream of winning the Norsphere Cup.

Everyone’s relying on me, and I can’t let them down by giving into my own desires. Nothing can distract me.

That is, until a mischievous Puca glides into my life, sparking a fire inside of me that I’ve never felt before.

Every day, it grows brighter and brighter as I fall harder and harder for Pem. His smile melts my heart while his touch sets me ablaze. He’s perfect. Always there...

Pleasuring me.

Pleasing me.

Playing me.

Because Pem isn’t just any monster. He’s the rival team’s star player. Now I have to choose—follow my heart, or uphold my word.

Will I find a way to balance the two, or am I skating on thin ice?

Thoughts on Pucked by the Puca: A shy monster who happens to be a dynamo on the ice and a monster who's given his all to his team unexpectedly cross paths and THINGS HAPPEN. I mean, they don't happen right away, but Iseol and Pem get there eventually.

But first, they meet and spark and share a frozen lake while on some downtime from the Norsphere Cup. The kicker? Neither knows that the other is associated with the team they're playing against (Iseol is filling in for her cousin while he's on paternity leave and the teams are kept apart so they can't learn the other's moves as a way to keep the playing fair) and this might cause BIG problems once they figure out the truth. Which is inevitable because the two teams will literally be facing one another across the ice at some point.

Anywho. Iseol has some cultural issues she has to work around. Namely that her people are very private about, uhh, their private lives and, as a hybrid, she knows next to nothing about what SHE might want. You know, seeing as she's never had a heat or anything. On Pem's end, he gets a little grunty when Iseol is near and wants to do more kissing than talking. Which isn't a terrible idea, but (again) cultural reticence means Iseol has a hard time initiating conversations about sexy things.

So. Some skating ice time. Some sexy ice time. Some quality sisterly advice. A couple of teammates who like to give Pem a tough time. A puca who knows a captivating vixen when he sees her. And a lady who never knew the joys of having her tails stroked until one sexy puca showed her. GOOD TIMES!
