Sometimes what happens in Vegas shows up at your door two weeks later to tell you that he’s the guy you married while you were blackout drunk.
Waking up alone in a strange hotel room, missing my prosthetic legs, and no memory of what happened the night before is not how I wanted to spend my estranged twin’s bachelor party trip.
Yet there I was, legless and zero idea how I got there. Or who I spent the night with. Which is…not great.
Though I suppose that trauma lies somewhere between losing my legs in a car accident which killed my career in the NHL, and my brother running off with my fiancée.
So, in the grand scheme of things, not the worst weekend I’ve had.
But while I’m no longer a bitter, angry man, I’m also maybe—kind of, sort of—not the most well-adjusted person on the planet. And that shows when an adorable, dimpled, wild-haired man shows up at my door to tell me that the hazy night in Vegas had a very specific
At some point, after several chocolate cake shots and trauma dumping, Amedeo and I found Elvis and got married.
The easy thing to do would be to make sure the marriage isn’t valid. But when have I ever made anything in my life easy? Especially since the incentive is getting to keep this man in my orbit.
We might have had the weirdest beginning of any married couple, but now I’m feeling strangely determined to give us both the happily ever after we deserve.
Zero Pucks is the first book in a rom-com, strangers to lovers, MM romance sled hockey series. It features a ride or die hockey found family, snarky best friends, the Team Dad who refuses to approve of bad decisions, why sled hockey is way more terrifying than standing hockey, awkward first dates, steaming hot first kisses, and a Golden Retriever of an Alternate Captain determined to give them both the happiest of ever afters.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Tucker and Amedeo never could have imagined that a hazy night in Vegas would lead to falling in love. When Tucker and Amedeo meet at a bar in Vegas, neither are in very good places. Tucker is dealing with his brother marrying his ex girlfriend and figuring out that this olive branch of inviting him to the bachelor weekend wasn’t really real. Along with getting the reminder of Tucker’s past where he lost in NHL career before it actually began because he was young and angry and it resulted in a car accident that changed his life. Meanwhile, Amedeo has let his boyfriend cheat and walk all over him and take all verbal abuse and he has hit his breaking point. This all leads to a very hazy night for both of them, recalling almost nothing. Except when Amedeo realizes they got married. Which in that moment gives him the strength to leave his abusive partner and he takes a chance to go and find Tucker to explain what they did. Tucker can’t be more surprised when Amedeo tracks him down, but the second he sees him, everything changes. There is a connection between them. And if they give it a chance, despite the craziness that lead them to even meeting, they just may have a chance at finding the love they both very much deserve and were looking for. This story took me by the surprise in a lot of ways! But it was definitely a fun one to read. Tucker and his friends are hysterical. They all have their own form of disabilities and issues going on in their lives, but very much care for one another and act like siblings who can’t help but annoy and poke one another. I loved how Tucker and Amedeo gave themselves a chance to open up with one another and realize that maybe their drunken selves in Vegas were on to something. Fun story all around and I am looking forward to the next one!
