For Puck’s Sake Book 15: Sudden Shootout by Crea Reitan

 

For Puck’s Sake Book 15

No one likes change…

Since the first time we accidentally brought a guy home, it’s been niggling in the back of my mind. Questions. Curiosities. Interest. Hesitation.

When my two closest friends and teammates are traded from Winnipeg, I find myself feeling abandoned and sinking into a funk. The feeling of being alone is only compounded when I find my two local friends fooling around together. 

Then they ask me to join them and I can no longer ignore the questions inside.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Zenia is realizing that he doesn’t like change. Losing two of his best friends to trades, just overall sucks. And it’s hitting him harder than he thought it could. In doing so, he feels himself pulling away just a bit from those who are still here. But Carson and Kroy won’t let him. Especially when they realize just how much Zenia needs them. Zenia, Carson, Kroy, Denny, and Ren are close. Closer in a lot of ways compared to other friend groups. Even when Denny and Ren found their partners, they remained so. But the distance really puts a strain on how much this group loves one another and how together, they are a family. They are home. But in those two leaving, it gives Zenia, Carson, and Kroy a chance to come together in a way they didn’t exactly expect. What starts off as Carson and Kroy fooling around together, leads to them asking Zenia to join. They need one another. In more ways than one. And in this new unlabeled relationship between them, it is making them realize just how much. And that maybe they were always meant to come together this way. What a journey it is for these three! It’s no denying how close this friend group is. And though you hurt for them to know that they feel like pieces of them are missing while losing two of their friends to distance, it’s so sweet to see them come together and find something that they truly didn’t realize what was missing between them all these years they’ve known one another. And it gives themselves a chance to figure out who they are as individuals too. Finding their safe spaces. I really enjoyed getting to know these three and watch them take their friendship and develop it into something so much deeper. Always fun visiting this world and the many characters in it. And I’m looking forward to more!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
