Publisher's Summary

The man could charm the panties off a nun.... 

Nick Murphy. Hockey god. My best friend’s big brother. My friend with mind-blowing benefits. The best thing to happen to my nether regions since my subscription to the toy of the month club. The man I’ve been secretly in love with for years.

And a total ass. I am so done with him. Except there’s one small problem. Now that I’ve cut him off, his hockey game is in the toilet. He’s convinced I’m his good luck charm, and he wants me back. But only for his game.
 

I’ll be strong. I will. I’ll resist. Asses don’t change their stripes. Or do they?

This plan would be so easy if the man wasn't charming as puck.... 

Charming as Puck is a romping fun romance between a hockey player and his sister's best friend, complete with farm animals, epic birthday presents, and Berger twin sightings. This romantic comedy stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers and ends with a pucking awesome happily ever after.

Sweet hot perfection

OMG I loved this book so much! Swoon worthy, laugh out loud, steamy, baby cow dogs, hockey player, veterinarian, best friends brother.

AND Jason Clarke and Savannah Peachwood hit it out the park with their narration.

Definitely worth the money/credit.

Sport RomCom full of belly laughing shenanigans

I’m a gal who’s loves hockey and this book is aptly named because it definitely is ‘Charming as Puck’❣️

If you enjoy sports romcoms then then book is definitely one not to miss.

I was fortunate enough to win this audiobook and I hadn’t listened to nor read anything by Pippa Grant yet but absolutely need to hear more about the other characters ASAP!

It’s a great book about a crazy fun loving goalie who loves to play tricks on his teammates and his teammates love to also payback in shenanigans as well.

I laughed so much in this book and absolutely loved how Jason Clarke and Savannah Peachwood brought all of the characters to life.

If you want a book that is hilarious and swoony then look no farther. Kami makes Nick realize how important she is to him by walking away from their friends with benefits situation and once Nick realizes he shows Kami in so many ways that she is his one person that knows him and he her that you’re going to swoon. And you’re going to snort laugh your way through this wonderful book and you too will be saying that definitely was a 5 star read.

Amazing!!

Great story. Lots of laughs. Especially with glitter bombs, cow-dogs and balloon howling teacup Yorkies. The characters are so amazing that you can't help but fall in love with them. Jason and Savannah do an AMAZING job with this book. Definitely one of my favorites!!!

Good Romantic Comedy

There was a lot to laugh at in this book. I absolutely loved Sugar Bear and so will you. While this story is a stand alone I do think it would be enhanced by reading the books that came before this one. There is a lot of interaction with the other couples in this book and it probably would have meant more if I knew more about them going in. This book was all about friends, family and holding out for what you deserve. I do like that Kami had the self respect to let him go when she did not see him stepping up or changing the way he sees her--but in his defense he was just rolling with the status quo not knowing how she really felt about him. Both the H and h are very likeable characters. The narration on this book was great and definitely added to the overall story.

Laugh out loud hilarity!

This was absolutely the most charming book I’ve listened to in a long time. Laugh out loud with snorts throughout.
Amazing story and top narrators-2 of my favorites!

Love it

I love hockey players that you just love. When they figure out that they are in love. This is hilarious at times and swoon worthy. These two narrators are good. They give this book the emotion needed. Loved it.

Pucking Awesome!

Story: You had me with Pippa Grant + Jason Clarke! This combination is an auto-buy for me. I grinned like an idiot nearly from beginning to end. It is brilliantly hilarious and HOT! I snort-laughed 4 minutes into chapter 1, and it was a regular occurrence for the duration of the book. They had me from the cow/puppy to the monkey to the cat who eats weird things. I was all in. During the GIANT SNEEZE incident I was giggling to myself enough that my dogs came to investigate. I grew up on a farm and I have received sneezes exactly like that, both bovine and equine, and it was perfectly described and delivered to the degree that I felt like I was covered in slime myself. With the "smelling like a squirrel orgy" comment I snort/laughed/spit all over my dogs because I laughed so unexpectedly with one dog in my lap while petting the other next to me. I was absolutely captivated and entertained for 9 hrs and 15 mins of audio, and irritated by anyone and work which interrupted me. I fell in love with Kami and Nick, but also with the multiple other characters. I felt like I was in the locker room when one of the pranks was executed flawlessly with style. I want a Nick doll!!

Narration: Spot-on brilliant! Jason Clarke is one of my absolute favorite narrators (high honors on my Favey list with drop-down menu and conditional formatting to call attention to those entries) and Savannah Peachwood is on my list as well. I always enjoy their talented delivery of my favorite stories. They both do great interpretations of other characters that allow you to separate the characters from each other, stay on track, and get lost in the story. It absolutely takes special talent to deliver a performance that exudes the love the joy, love, regret, determination, desire, and even naughtiness in the narration. Brilliant narrators pull you into a different place so you can lose yourself in the story. Jason Clarke is made of awesome!

I don't know how it is so hilarious, thoughtful, and incredibly sexy with some pretty inventive transitions from one to the other...but that is why Pippa Grant is the Author, Jason and Savannah are the talented voice actors, and I am the devoted reader/listener.

I will Definitely read this one again.

It was Definitely worth the Credit.

Lovers-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers

I found the narration to add such depth and emotion to this book! Nick and Kami’s journey to their HEA was full of ruts and potholes, but so much fun! Kami gives not an inch to the incorrigible Nick, and I love how she gives him a run for his money and makes him work for it!
I can’t leave out how fun the narration was on this, Pippa Grant’s large and unruly cast of characters shine!

Jason Clarke as Nick? Yes, please!!!

Nick and Kami have been friends w/benefits, until Nick pulls one final stunt leaving Kami done w/all his antics. Nick, knows Kami is upset w/him, but can't figure out why. His teammates have an idea, but he doesn't want to listen to any of them. He misses her like crazy, and as he sets out to win back her friendship, he makes some discoveries of his own along the way.

Jason Clarke (serious swoon) and Savannah Peachwood do an amazing job narrating the crazy, hot, hilarious, very hot, mélange of events.

I discovered I read this standalone that's part of a non-series out of order, but I fully intend to rectify that w/the other characters I came across in this book.

SO much fun

I love romantic comedies and this fits the bill. I laughed out loud a lot in the beginning and while there were a fewer jokes towards the end, it became much more heartwarming, as Nick stepped up as the romantic lead and Kami finally gets the love she deserves. Pranks, cute animals and a fun cast fill in the rest of the story. There are a lot of characters from prior books that make appearances. While this was my first book by the author, I've since read all the others and I love them. If you like romantic comedy with sweet heroes and heroines, definitely check out other Pippa Grant books.

I read this book a while ago and just got to listen to the audiobook. And the story is only made better with the narration. Admittedly, I'm a huge fan of Jason Clarke. He has the perfect voice- a little gruff- but with great tone and pacing. He infuses emotion into his story telling. And Savannah Peachwood, as well, is amazing. She plays Kami so well but both are also great when it comes to playing other characters, whether male or female. I laughed when reading the book but their narration also added to the story so it was even better the second time around, while listening to the audiobook.

I requested and received this audiobook. Such a fun read!!
