Puck & Prejudice by Lia Riley
4.0

This was actually really good! I was a little hesitant about this book, because of it being a mix of a historical romance with a modern day hockey player. Sounds outlandish, right? I wasn't sure how the author would pull it off but it was honestly well done and I enjoyed it. Tucker Taylor is a hockey player who finds himself back in 1812... and has to enter into a marriage of convenience with Lizzy, who is a Regency era woman that befriends him and knows he's from the future. It's a wild concept but I thought the author did a fantastic job with it, especially since Tuck is from the future and has to explain things to Lizzy, and much fun and hilarity ensues. Their romance was great, and there was plenty of spice which I was pleasantly surprised by. I truly enjoyed the Jane Austen aspect of it! That was a really cool addition weaved into an already cool concept of a book. My only critique was that the book was in third person POV and I really would have loved to have a dual first person POV, but this is a personal preference of mine and doesn't take away from the book. I also really liked how it ended and felt like the author gave us the best of both worlds. Overall, I had a really good time reading this different and unique book! 

Thank you to NetGalley, Lia Riley, and Avon for the eARC of this book.
