| Totally Pucked Book 2 |
I didn’t think hockey was the game for me…now I’m obsessed.
My new neighbor, Ben Stirling, is a beautiful, famous ex-player. A living NHL legend. A single dad with sad eyes and a smile I feel in my knees.
I’ve never met anyone like him. He’s what would you’d get if you squeezed masculinity through a sieve. He’s the grit. The pulp. The hard stuff that leaves a sweet taste in your mouth. On top of that, he’s kind and funny, and did I mention he’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on?
Obviously, he’s straight.
And obviously, that’s fine.
It’s not like I’m going to flirt with him. Or fall for him.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Ben has been in this state of grief for a while now. He lost his wife and then ended his hockey career because how could he possibly continue with this grief inside him and take care of his six-year-old son? It’s been hard on both of them until the day he meets Jeremiah. In his state of grief, Ben visited his wife’s family and passed a house for sale. Next thing he knew, he bought it and moved him and Luca across the country. Being near his wife’s family would be helpful and a clean slate should be good for him and Luca right? He just never expects the feelings that stir when he meets his new neighbor Jeremiah. The neighbor that Luca adores more and more every day and Ben does as well. He is still grieving but being around Jeremiah allows him to slowly heal. Jeremiah knows that falling for his handsome and straight neighbor is a terrible idea. But how can he not when gets to know Ben and his adorable son? Ben is an all around nice guy who clearly loves his son. And the more they spend time together, the harder he falls. This won’t end well, right? I adored Ben and Jeremiah’s story! I loved that we got to see Ben really start to heal bit by bit. He realized he was holding a lot in when it came to his emotions and just couldn’t seem to find the place and time that was safe for him to feel. And Jeremiah became that safe space for him. He was able to talk and cry and just feel everything and know that Jeremiah was there to hold him through it. Even before he truly realized what these new feelings he was having toward Jeremiah really was. It was just a really beautiful love story with these two. Being exactly what the other needed and were searching for all along. Great story and looking forward to the next one!
