Book Review: One Picked Up Pack by Sarah Blue


This is a lighthearted yet dark-themed book. I usually read dark romance, but this was a refreshing change. The story wasn’t a perfectly pitched situation, and the emotions felt raw and authentic. I loved the fluidity of the narrative and how the author portrayed the emotional turmoil within each character—it had me hooked.


Charlotte’s connection with her best friend was especially touching; their friendship never wavered, and she was truly her rock. I loved every character, and the depth they brought to the story made it even more engaging. Overall, I was very satisfied with this read and will definitely be checking out more books by Sarah Blue!

I went into this book thinking it would be a quick why choose Alpha/Omega spicy read. 

I was right and wrong. The spice was off the charts and amazing. The 3 men had great differences and personalities you could differentiate from. 

The story though is what surprised me. I was not expecting to feel to attached and emotional to a hockey romance. Even with a 3rd act break-up this book had me reeled in unlike many of the romances I read just for light reading. 

The emotions and plot had me gasping with sadness, giggling with humor, and getting all the awws. 

I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to read the rest of this series.

This was so cute and exactly what I wanted to read. Reverse harem hockey omegaverse romance. Pretty low stakes and cosy, lots of “slice of life” type feelings. It reminded me a lot of the Jacksonville Rays series by Emily Rath (one of my faves). It was really refreshing to have an omega FMC who didn’t have a super messed up past for once, even though she does have a tough time during some of the plot. Overall a nice, easy read. No MM (kind of wish it had been there because the guys had a lot of potential to expand their close relationships into romances, but that’s ok).

Audio narrators did a great job.

One Pucked Up Pack was honestly better than I thought it would be!

I knew that this was omegaverse going into it, but I think I was expecting more hockey and less omv. It was definitely beginner friendly, and did a decent job of explaining all of the trope hallmarks.

Read this book if you love
- Why choose/reverse harem
- Omegaverse
- Hockey romance
- Second chance romance

This book has a lot of time skips, especially around the 50% mark and in the epilogues. I found that I wanted more character time that was skipped over, but I also don’t think the book needed to be longer.

The one thing that I really didn’t enjoy was the lack of healthy communication around the conflict. I definitely found some of the resolution to be annoying because the blame and guilt gets shifted to people in the relationship who I don’t think deserve it, and other people get forgiven a bit too quickly or have their actions brushed off.

I’ll probably read the second book. 3 stars.

this book couldve easily been a 5 if it wasnt for miss fmc and her dumbass decisions 

like… i get that they didnt answer the phone and that something important had happened to the fmc and she needed them, but she didnt give them a CHANCE TO EXPLAIIIIN LIKE CMOOON 

she gets SUUUUPER whiny and so irritating, like the author WANTED me to hate her after having such a cute beginning!!! which is why i hate the direction this book took 😭

and also! its their dream to play hockey… like u cant expect for them to ALL be in agreement to give it up FOR YOU, DONT B A SELFISH BTCH FFS


this is a more insta love on almost all the mc’s part, except one who’s always stubborn and doesnt accept it at first

the book starts out GREAT and them it takes a plummet lmao… i finished it bc i wanted to read book 2 and didnt want to DNF it after being 60% ALREADY

but yeah, if youre into fmcs making horrible mistakes and STEALING DIARIES THAT WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE READ BY HER then go ahead

she just did too many stupid things for me to be ok with this book
