Okay, so I started this because I thought this would make me really unhappy. It didn't. It was fucking cute and sweet and adorable.
The blurb makes it seem like the breakup is a huge part of the book which it really isn't - so don't start the book if that's what you want. There also wasn't that much groveling because the guys didn't really do much wrong.

My favorite book of February! I could not put this one down, and since it's a newer release, I have yet to really see that much about it. This is an omegaverse book, I've never read a book with that in it, and I didn't even know what that meant. But at the beginning of the book, there is a short explanation of what it is and how Blue uses it in her book. But I wanted to read the book because of the reverse harem element; it was so good in this one! I loved how Charlotte's story went. I also really loved the hockey element because I've never read a hockey romance before. This one deals with a lot of heavy things because Charlotte has older parents. One was gone before this book happened. The other has a lot of health issues, so she is always worried about her mom. We have the whole omega thing going on, and it was crazy and opened up a whole new world for me. Then we the alphas. I loved how different they all were. So we have one that's all happy and lovey-dovey and wants to be that way, but he wasn't raised in this life, so this is all new. It was adorable, and then we have the stubborn one who is determined to fight their feelings and stay away from her because he wants to focus on his dream of playing professionally, which is all three of their goals is to play professionally. It got super intense, and I could not put the book down. Plus, Charlotte has a Newfie! A book can never go wrong with a Newfoundland in it! I have two, and I love them so much; they are just the best! I need the next book ASAP! The next book is going to be focused on Charlotte's best friend, who is an alpha herself, so it's going to be interesting to see her story play out. I hope we get to see Charlotte and the boys some. This book set up her story some, and it sounds like it will be so much fun!

”One Pucked Up Pack” has been on my TBR for a little while & I am soo glad that I finally got around to reading this story because I adored it! <3
Eli + Anders + Mikael were *chef’s kiss* LIs & I loved the extended epilogue (it was so heartwarming)…🥹
The only issue that I had with this story is that I wanted more scenes of the men (Eli + Mikael in particular) discussing their upbringings with Charlotte (I wanted to see more conversations about their families in general).

I cannot wait for Piper’s story — the bits that we’ve gotten so far seem so exciting! :) ♡

I really enjoyed this book. Sarah Blue for sure tore my heart out in the middle of this one!! I was not prepared for that at all. The joint taking responsibility after that was great and the groveling was perfect.

What a unique book! Hockey, why-choose, AND omegaverse! I love all of those things separately, but this was my first time reading them together. It was also my first time seeing omegaverse outside the fan-fiction realm.
I will say that Sarah Blue does an excellent job introducing the reader to the world of omegaverse. Even though I was familiar with the concept, the way she explains it for Charlotte & her hockey players felt like world building that made sense in the context of the story.
What I was not expecting were the emotions! I quite literally SOBBED though the last chapter. There are major themes of grief, loss, and abandonment throughout. So protect your peace before reading.

Thank you to the author and Smuthood Book tours for providing me with a copy for review.
