Pucked Up
by Helena Hunting
ARC received for an honest review
Pucked was one of my favourite books in 2015, so I was excited to read Pucked Up.
In Pucked, I wasn't really sure if I liked Miller "Buck" Butterson. He really was a bit of an arse.
I have to say, from the minute I started reading Pucked Up, my mind was made up. I liked him. He is zany, funny - but we see there is so much more to him. He really does have a heart of gold underneath the manwhore exterior.
He's always partaken in the benefits of being a hockey star - puck bunnies ready for the taking He is zany, crazy
Until Sunny.
Sunny is Alex (from Pucked) sister - and could just be the one - if he doesn't mess things up.
Sunny is his complete opposite. She is sweet, caring - though maybe takes other people's opinions into consideration a bit too much when it comes to her life. Gah, I wanted to talk some sense into her so many times about that!
But she is perfect for Buck, complements him in every way.
Buck seems to stumble into situations that look bad, without even trying. Sure, there are some very funny things that happen to him that you can't help laugh out loud about, but at other times, I couldn't help but cringe for him. My heart just breaks for him when everyone thinks the worst.
I LOVE his interactions with Violet. OMG they are so funny. There are some things that only a sibling can get away with! Vi is Buck's harshest critic, but she would go to the mattresses for Buck, time and time again.
Pucked Up is not the laugh out loud, OMG! kind of book that Pucked was. Sure, it has it's hilarious moments **Cough cough spiders cough cough** but it touches on some deeper issues too.
I did get frustrated with Sunny at times, as she kept having the same issues with Buck. I don't trust you blah blah. Rinse. lather. Repeat. I would have walked away a looooong time ago if I was Buck!
So do Buck and Sunny get their HEA, or is it all too much?
For that you will have to red for yourself.
Well done Ms Hunting in getting me to love a character I was sure I was going to hate!
Can't wait for Pucked Over!
