Review: This is a time travel romance everyone needs in their life!  

 

“Puck & Prejudice” follows Tucker Taylor, a pro hockey player who accidentally travels back in time to Regency Era England. Once there, he stumbles upon Lizzy Wooddash, the brazen contemporary of Jane Austen. The two enter into a marriage of convenience for their shared gain. Yet as sparks ignite, they soon realize that matters of the heart rarely adhere to carefully laid plans. 

 

This book perfectly blends contemporary and regency romance while incorporating some of my favorite tropes of the genres: marriage of convenience, forced proximity, and one bed! 

 

As a fan of historical romance books, Riley captures the era so well and I loved watching Tuck, this giant, lovable, teddy bear of a hockey player stick out like a sore thumb. This endears him to Lizzy and I adored the way she took him under her wing. 

 

I knew that they were perfect for each other from the start. Lizzy is a strong FMC who is very outspoken about her discontent surrounding the societal expectations of women. Because Tuck is from the where women have more rights and he has a sister that he cares deeply for, he is very supportive of Lizzy’s pursuit of freedom and her writing endeavors. The way he uplifts her when her family has put her down her whole life made my heart race! 

 

In keeping with the times, the pair must follow the high stakes rules of Regency courtship, which of course only intensifies the palpable tension between them when fate forces them to share a bed and a carriage to keep up their ruse. The steamy scenes really hit when they could no longer resist temptation and finally let go! 

 

I cannot recommend this one enough and eagerly await another installment from Riley!
