Pucked

By: Helena Hunting

Narrated by: John Mclaren, Muffy Newtown

Length: 10 hrs and 16 mins

Publisher's Summary

The first standalone novel in The Pucked Series

With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. So of course she isn't interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet's misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match. Suffering from a complete lapse in judgment, Violet discovers just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants.

Violet believes her night of orgasmic magic with Alex is just that: one night. But Alex starts to call. And text. And email and send extravagant - and quirky - gifts. Suddenly he's too difficult to ignore and nearly impossible not to like. The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn't want to be part of the game.

Love this book! Hilarious, hot, and hockey!

I absolutely loved this audiobook. It was smoking hot and laugh out loud funny. My only issue was the male narrator. I would have preferred that Muffy Newtown narrated the entire book. Can't wait for book 2!

Narration

Before purchasing this book I read the reviews and thought that the male reader couldn't really be that terrible. WRONG! It was dreadful! If the reader makes or breaks a book for you think strongly before giving in to this. I loved the female reader and the story though.

Why can't we have separate reviews for each narrator?

This book was hysterically funny, with a quirky, awkward, real characters. The female narrator was fantastic. The male narrator was great when he was speaking like someone from the US. Otherwise, he sounded a cockney-Irish-Scottish guy pretending to be Canadian but sounding more confused than anything else. Usually, I look forward to a change in narrator when a new chapter starts. This is the first time I've actually groaned in defeat when the male character started a chapter. If it weren't for how incredibly talented the female narrator was, I would have returned the audiobook and instead read it on my kindle.

Holy accent, Batman!

What was with the male narrator? He was supposed to be performing a Canadian accent, but sounded more like Scottish-British-Jersey boy. He made Alex seem creepy sometimes. Muffy should have narrated the whole book. Don’t let this turn you off from listening, because the story is beyond hilarious! Luckily, the male narrator doesn’t perform much at all.

Great Story but what's with the accent

The characters were quirky and hilarious beginning to end but WTF with the "Canadian" accent. Irish, Scottish, Welsh. Not the sure what the hell that was. It might have passed for mangled maritime but sure as hell not Guelph. Get it right or don't bother.

Great story, horrible male narrator

I have been so excited for this book to make it to audible. It was not a disappointment!! Helena Hunting is a rockstar. I laughed out loud many times. The female narrator was fantastic. But the male narrator was horrific!! I mean, it had the potential to nearly ruin the book. I cringed the entire chapters that he read. It was seriously awful!!

Male narrator was horrible!

The male narrator spoiled the book for me. The female narrator did a great job.

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

This book made me laugh a lot! Violet is was snarky and hilarious. Alex was sexy and sweet! She was expecting a one night stand and he knew from the minute they met that he wanted her in his life. Their story was sweet and very sexy! It had its predictable moments with normal romance book drama but the drama wasn't the typical avoidable drama that most books have. The sexy scenes were off the charts hot! I can't wait for book 2 on audio!

The narration was 50/50! She was great, her male and female voices were perfect and she really did the funny snarky comments perfectly. He on the other hand I didn't enjoy. His accent sounded more Irish than Canadian to me, with a few "Eh's" to remind you he was Canadian. He also didn't make him sound very manly, more high school teacher than hockey star.

Muffy was a hit

There's so much greatness and I'm typing from my phone so I can't list it all... I loved almost everything about this book... this author is a 1st for me but I am an instant fan... I laughed so hard....

This narration team is also a 1st for me and I must say I love Muffy! Nathan on the other hand sucked... his nasal voice was irritating. I've refunded books and/or couldn't finish them for bad narration like his BUT this book is so well written and Muffy narrates 95% of the book I dealt with Nathan's horrid narration.

LMFAO!

I'm an author and narrator of books just like this and I gotta say, it's the best, funniest audio book ever!

Fantastic

Absolutely loved this book from the get go. Laugh out loud funny. Fantastic story. Super hot characters. Love sports books, and hockey is my most favourite. A super fun wonderfully sexy romance that I didn't want to end.

Great start to a new series

Really hilarious at times 😀the super MC had me laughing out loud especially with the added cape😀that said Violet and Alex were charming and the first part of their story had me intrigued right until the end. I've discovered a new author I love which is Always a plus !!!

So disappointed!

I finally got round to Pucked after it’s been in my audible library for so long. Saw so many positive reviews so maybe I’m in a minority but I’ve had to give up at a little over 50% !
If I had to hear the words “beaver” “wang” “jilling off” “monster cock” along with many other childish words, one more time I was going to weep in a darkened room 😤🙈
The main female character is beyond immature with the ridiculous language she keeps using. Honestly.... I don’t even want to insult teenagers by saying it’s more for their genre.... most teenagers I know would even find this book just stupid.
But if you constantly want to read about the h “jilling off her beaver” or looking at her mans “wang” or “monster cock” .. crack on. It just REALLY wasn’t for me.

Another great story from this author

Really funny, not too heavy, just made me laugh but sexy and romantic too. Great narration too.

its a no go for me . everything was predicted

its a no go for me . everything was predicted even the sex was predicted

Absolute witty perfection!

From chapter one I was thoroughly laughing out loud! The witty, chatty style of this book is fantastic!
Well written, fast paced, exquisitely described perfection…

To top it off the performance was absolutely  faultless!!

This is a very high bar for the rest of the series to live up to!

Well worth the credit!

A long winded story lacking any real plot!

This is a 'love' story between a charming young man and a immature, petulant foul mouthed young woman.

It lacks any substance and the constant references to 'beaver, cooter, love stick, love rod' and countless other crass descriptions for both his and her genitals is pathetic.

The story consists of boy meets girl, they have sex, they have sex, she goes in a huff, they have sex, they get caught having sex, she goes off in a huff... Repeat the above for most of the chapters.

The chapter titles are also irritating with long winded, unfunny descriptions.

There are some funny lines in this story but I just feel the author has tried too hard to make this book something it isnt and her portrayal of Violet as a quirky, likeable character just does not show through.

I would recommend you save your money/credit and search for another author to listen to.

love it.

love it. i had tiers from laughing . it's romantic a little bit sad and zo mat's fun en comical toe listening toe.

Steamy and fast paced

Wow! I have never enjoyed a book to this degree before! I could hear my breath getting faster and racing heart through the steamy bits.
I must say I like the ending too, but no spoilers.
It’s read amazingly and having two characters read, really adds to the visual, even thought it’s read .
I would recommend this to any one who needs to get their fire going 😘 5 stars from me ;-) xx

definitely worth a download

I absolutly loved this story. kept me hooked the whole way through. defo worth a download.
