Spicy hockey series that I personally love 🤧

Okay hear me out….

Pucking around…… is 🥵🥵🥵🥵 I read this book and literally fell on my knees. Like Rath, I was not expecting all this. If you’re into spicy books then this book should definitely be added to your cart.

Each story is so compelling it had me on the edge of my seats. 90% 🌶️🌶️🌶️ 10% text.. sure thing I’m down for it🤣

Let me know what you guys think about this?

... Read moreOkay, since you guys loved hearing about *Pucking Around*, let me dive deeper into the rest of Emily Rath's incredible Pucking series! This is definitely the series if you're looking for seriously spicy hockey romance books. After devouring Pucking Around (which, let's be real, is pure fire with its MMFM and multiple POV action – I mean, who doesn't love that kind of delicious tension?), I immediately jumped into *Pucking Wild*. And wow, just *wow*. If you're a fan of Forced Proximity and Reverse Age Gap tropes, this one is an absolute must-read. The chemistry is off the charts, and the way Emily Rath writes a *Golden Retriever MMC*? Melt-your-heart adorable and still incredibly sexy. It's truly a masterclass in how to make a hockey romance unforgettable. The snowy pier setting and the 'ONE KISS is all it takes...' quote perfectly capture the vibes. It's the kind of book that makes you want to curl up with a blanket and just swoon. And then there's *Pucking Sweet*. Oh my goodness, *Pucking Sweet*! If Enemies To Lovers is your jam, prepare to be obsessed. This book also features Accidental Pregnancy and an MMF dynamic that is just *chef's kiss*. The banter, the tension, the eventual emotional payoff – it's everything you could possibly want in a *spicy hockey book*. The cover with the boats and microphones might seem innocent, but trust me, the quote about screaming and ice cream hints at the delicious chaos within! Emily Rath truly delivers on every single trope she tackles. What I really appreciate about this series, beyond the undeniable spice, is how each story is so compelling on its own. They're not just about the heat; they have depth, humor, and characters you genuinely root for. If you're new to why choose hockey romance or looking for more *hockey enemies to lovers books*, this series is a fantastic entry point. It really shows off the best of hockey book romance with a fantastic balance of plot and, of course, that glorious 90% spice. For anyone who loves diving into a world where the stakes are high both on and off the ice, and where the romance is as intense as a power play, you absolutely need to add the entire Pucking series to your TBR. These books have definitely earned their spot as my top spicy hockey books recommendations, and I promise, you won't be disappointed. They're the kind of reads that stay with you long after you've turned the last page, making you wish you could jump back into their world. Seriously, go read them!

BOOK SERIES that are NOT SPICY 🌶️ ❌
I’m not gonna lie to you guys right now… I prefer romance books with no spice. THERE I SAID IT. I just feel like some authors rely too much on the spice to carry the book while the authors that choose to not write smut focus on the actual relationships more 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyways… . . . #closedd
