Pucking Sweet

Jacksonville Rays, Book 3

By: Emily Rath

Narrated by: Desiree Ketchum, Sean Crisden, Alex Kydd

My name is Poppy St. James, and I am going to kill Lukas Novikov! I've just landed my dream job as the director of public relations for the NHL's newest expansion team, the Jacksonville Rays, but the team owner has only granted me a one-year contract. If I want to stay, I'll have to prove myself. Easy. Public relations is in my blood.

But it turns out professional hockey players are a major handful. No one is a bigger pain in my side than party boy defenseman, Lukas Novikov. I don't care how well he plays hockey. Off the ice, he's a PR nightmare. Brash and bossy, he's always finding ways to drag his teammates into trouble. His favorite accomplice is fellow defenseman Colton Morrow.

The players can all call me PR Barbie if they want, but I'm getting the job done, and I'm doing it in three-inch heels. Because I am Poppy St. James-poised, powerful, and always professional . . . until the fateful night my phone rings.

One phone call from home leads to one drunken mistake. Now I'm staring down at a little blue plus sign and I have no idea where my carefully balanced life will lead next. All I know is that nothing will ever be the same.

Contains mature themes.

Dual (not duet) narration

Love this series SO much. The female narrator does an “ok” male voice but the male narrators make the female voice sound “cheesy”. This is a great series but I wish it was done in duet. The narrators are great though and I’m sure it’s just personal preference but I think this series could be epic if it was done in duet or fullcast duet narration.

Slow burn but worth the wait

There is nothing hotter than what happens on and off the ice with Emily Rath!
Poppy and her men do not match up on paper, but they absolutely do when given the right opportunity.

Good story, awful male narrator

I was so looking forward to this book! I don’t know why they keep using this awful narrator (the one that portrays Lukas Novikov). It ruins every one of his chapters. With that said, I love the development of each character.

Love It!

These series, these characters are so amazing. You will love getting to know, Poppy, Lukas and Colton. Enjoy the wild and spicy ride!

Excellent listen!

The humor of these characters is contagious. The ability to adapt was a learned behavior for these three and the learning curve was great. I loved how this one turned out and look forward to Hen’s story next!
