Lucky Shot

For Puck's Sake, Book 3

De: Crea Reitan

Narrado por: Shawn K. Jain, Simon Dornet

The entire game can be determined by a lucky shot.

PrettyInLace

Even a gay athlete has an appearance to uphold. There are a handful out in every sport and while every trashy magazine wants to get the scoop on what the gays are up to, looking for a scandal and a way to ruin us, every one of us is constantly on our best behavior. Acting a certain way, dressing a certain way, speaking a certain way.

If the world knew the real me, it'd shudder. Lace. Pearls. Dresses. Collars. All I want is to be someone's pretty little doll that they dress up and tell me how pretty I am. I want to be loved for the real me, not the image I'm forced to show to the world just so I can keep my spot on the ice.

The only place I find that escape is in an online role-playing game where I can be the sexy femme mage and get my flirt on. Find the man of my dreams.

And I do. He's a big, hot druid ready to sweep me off my feet. Now, if only I could find the courage to tell him who I am and trust that he won't share it with the rest of the world. I'm not ready to end my career yet.

DemiDefenseKip

I'm known for my defensive plays. Aggressive. Precise. Quick. Strong. On the ice, I'm an icon that the world loves to put on a pedestal and worship. I've carefully cultivated everything about my public appearance to capitalize on my short career. Considering I'm a noted queer athlete—a title that never strays too far from any article—I'm truly living a charmed life.

What the world doesn't know is that it's not just my sexuality that makes having a relationship in the spotlight difficult. It's also because I'm demisexual. Finding someone interested in me, and not my jersey or bank balance, has proven especially challenging.

So how does someone with a recognizable face the world over find love? If you figure it out, let me know.

This is an LGBT+ story with mature content.

So good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Think “You’ve Got Mail” meets the hockey/gaming world. Slow burn unique story line that totally works. I loved the characters getting to know each other before they even realized who each other is. I only wish there was a little more hint as to the future of the side characters of Roo and Sid. Both could have stories of their own.

I read book one but haven’t gotten book two yet. This was very different from Shiver, but enjoyed both. I will definitely be getting more in this series.

Super cute

As a gamer, I loved this story so much! The pacing was good, and I don’t feel like the story dragged as I waited to find out what happened next. Noah is so absolutely sweet and I loved the demi representation.

A truly amazing story!!

The narrators were great at creating distinct voices and the story is one of my very favorites. If you loved the book or are totally new to it, you will love this audiobook either way!

Fascinating couple dynamic

I’ve read a few books with Demi characters like Alix but I’ve never read one with an MC like Noah. I was riveted by the story and loved how their feelings developed throughout. You have to wait until about 3/4 of the way through before you get to the spicy scenes but they are worth the wait. Beautifully staged with good description through the mc’s pov and hot dialogue to support it.
Reitan is a master craftsperson of eff-hot, low angst romance, and I’m so here for it!

That’s the problem. What is the story?

It sounds as if the writer is writing a liturgy on their own experience. So many concerning statements.

Loved this Hockey meets Gaming

Been reading the series and this one just felt sooooo long. But I loved the storyline in this one! Them meeting through their game and then finally meeting was everything
