A Pucking Wrong Christmas

The Pucking Wrong Series

De: C.R. Jane

Narrado por: Troy Duran, Alexis Paige

Lincoln, Ari, and Walker are back in a holiday novella…

I hate Christmas.

Years and years of disappointment have taught me that Christmas is the worst. I don't like the music, the food, the decorations…anything.

And Lincoln Daniels, my tattooed hockey god of a husband, thinks he's going to change that…

I tell him it's not going to happen.

But the thing about Christmas…

And Lincoln…

Is that they're both a little magical.

The question is…can Lincoln work his magic and change my mind, or is the season all wrong for me after all…

A Short, Spicy-Hockey Holiday

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶.5
Narration: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

This was such a fun, spicy, quick, holiday novella. I really enjoyed seeing this group of friends come back together. You must read book 1 and book 2 before this one, though, to follow along.

Tropes:
🎄 Holiday Novella
🏒 Hockey Romance
🎄 Found Family
🏒 OTT Jealous/Possessive
🎄 Obsessed/Unhinged Men


This book takes turns going through different POV's between the 4 main characters from the first 2 books in this series. You have Lincoln and Monroe from 'The Pucking Wrong Number.' You get Ari and Blake from 'The Pucking Wrong Man.' Plus, the epilogue is in Walker's POV, whose book is the next one in the series, 'The Pucking Wrong Date.'

The book is over 60% spice, between the couples. I really liked that we got to see more from these past characters and what their currently up to. Now that the author has written over 5 books in this series, maybe we'll get a new novella with all the couples.

As always, we have these over the top, jealous, possessive, and obsessed men in this series so well do anything to make their girl happy, just as long as it's with them.

The prologue was a sad one in Monroe's POV as a little girl. It's the start of why she doesn't like Christmas, and it truly is a sad one. It really broke my heart for this character. It goes into Lincoln willing to do anything to make Monroe love Christmas like he does. Linc really brings out the daddy and sir kinks in this book, with tying Monroe up and some spanking is involved.

Ari is his normal funny self. I'm guessing this takes place during his and Blake's book sometime because they aren't married yet in this novella. He is still playing for LA, and she doesn't know his crazy yet. I laughed too much with Ari and his antics and the holiday spirit. Especially during his spicy moments with Blake.

Walker does tag along with these 2 couples to NYC and to one of Linc's games. You also see him in so the text conversations with Lincoln and Ari. Poor Walker having to deal with Ari.I laughed too much.

Some things I wish the author touched base on more was the Professor. It brought him up and how he reacted to Lincoln in front of Monroe on campus. Lincoln mentioned he'll have to get him fired but never touched more bases on it.

I also would like to see something happy in love happen to Bill, Monroe's homeless friend. We do get that small moment with him at the end of this story, but I want something good to happen to him in life. Not just a small moment.

The narrators in this book were awesome as always. Troy Duran and Alexis Paige always do a fantastic job in this series. They've narrated every book in this series, and they always put 110% in every time. I can listen to these 2 narrate books all day. If you've never listened to these together in a book, you're truly missing out.

Perfect holiday novella with my faves!

Holiday Love on Ice

(Review from October 8, 2024)

“Holidays weren’t about gifts or glitter, but about finding your home in someone’s arms.”

Tropes:
Holiday romance
Cozy, lighthearted novella
Hockey + mistletoe mashup
Found family

This audio was steamy and just plain fun. Alexis Page and Troy Duran are back to lean into the festive atmosphere—you can hear the playfulness in their voices. As a story, this novella is a quick shot of holiday joy. It has mistletoe kisses, playful banter, and that cozy feeling of curling up by the fire with the people you love. While it’s shorter than the main books, it adds something special to the Pucking Wrong universe.
