He’s the
biggest, baddest, most spider-fearing motherpucker on the ice…
When you’re named after the king of the gods, the world expects certain things of you.
Tough? Damn right.
Smart? Don’t let the hockey uniform fool you.
Large and in charge? Honey, I’m the biggest, baddest, mother pucking-est machine to ever own the ice. I shoot. I score. In and out of the rink. I don’t come early, but I come often, if you know what I mean. And I always leave the ladies wanting more.
Until that chick last night.
I’m no one-thrust wonder, and you’re damn right I’m going to prove to her I can do better. But every time I think I’m finally on my way back into her pants, she one-ups and out-balls me.
I should cut my losses, lick my wounds, and walk away.
But Zeus Berger doesn’t walk away from anything.
Especially when she's the only woman in the world who might be able to handle me.

Puck-Up is a standalone romantic comedy featuring a hockey player whose ego is

plane, rubber chockey (don't ask), and no cheating or cliffhangers.
Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oh, lord! This book was funny, hot, full of puns, and surprisingly tender in places.
"Zeus Berger doesn't back down from a challenge. Even a challenge I can't win. And I smell a challenge coming on."
Zeus Berger is huge. Like man-mountain huge. And, he's got the personality and ego to match. When he sets his sights on Joey "Fireball" Diamonte, there's no stopping his pursuit, especially when she's proving to be a sexy, hard-on-inducing challenge!
"I eat my enemies for breakfast and wear their blood the rest of the day."
Joey is a woman with lady balls of titanium! She's good at everything, has nerves of steel, and can freeze a man at twenty paces with her stare. The giant goofball NHL player perks her interest - an interest that has her furious with herself, as she never lets anyone get to her. However, there's no denying that he tickles all her fancies, and there's more to him than meets the eye.
"Never in my life has a man been able to fire my engines with one look. It has to be the sheer size of him...He's so inherently male, despite all the cracks I've seen in his machismo."
Zeus is hilarious! I loved that he was so overt, an annoying jokester, and never gave up with Joey. I loved how much he loved her attitude, her sassiness, and her sharp tongue. I loved how well he saw her, and understood her. In the same way, I loved how Joey could see beyond Zeus' outer layer to the kind-hearted man beneath - to the guy who wants to be seen for himself, not the giant bonehead that other people think they know.
"His voice isn't just quiet. It's vulnerable. Exposed. Human."
I was pleasantly surprised that this romcom had some tear-jerking elements, which made it a much rounder story. Both main characters were tough nuts but each managed to find a chink in the other's armour, and managed to keep chipping away at it until they were all the way in - whether it was intentional or not.
Overall, a great, fun, funny read!

Excerpt
Zeus Berger (aka the biggest, baddest, most
spider-fearing mother pucker to ever play in the NHL)
Coconuts are itchy. I should’ve gone for the watermelons.
But it was a bitch and a half getting that last-minute
private fitting at Madame Cosette’s anyway, and the woman probably would’ve had
to stitch three bras together and then nailed the damn contraption to my
shoulders to get it to hold without losing a melon, so coconuts it is.
Besides, it’s the heels that are gonna be the bigger
problem. Damn good thing I have ankles of fucking steel.
And my minidress is stretched to max capacity over the
coconuts anyway. It’s also in danger of showing my other coconuts, if you catch
my drift. And there’s definitely a drift—or is that a draft?—on my other coconuts.
A wolf whistle echoes through the swanky private clubhouse
where I’m strolling in with my twin brother on my left and my brother from
another mother on my right. A passing server drops a tray of champagne.
Conversation stops. And a bunch of stuffy golf pricks gape at us like we’re a
mutant alien circus freak show crashing their million-dollar wedding reception.
We’re three dudes who have more money than God, more muscles
than all the Kardashians’ bodyguards combined, and more fun than cotton candy
and roller coasters.
