I already know RH is not a genre that works well in a contemporary setting, yet, I keep choosing to read these RH hockey romances only to end up disappointed.
These Pucking Boys: Part One was very insta-lusty, and pretty much insta-lovey as well. Already, not my fave. The characters were also very cookie-cutter. Everyone was hot, June (the FL) was clumsy and quirky, and Jake, Ryan and Lachy (the MLs) were charming and suave. They felt neither unique nor original.
The plot also didn't really feel like it went anywhere. Everything moved super fast—it was a very quick read—and the smut was hot. But the fact that they were all smitten with each other from the very beginning and the characters were exceedingly commonplace turned this novel into a bland and unexciting book.
In a word, I'd describe it as "forgettable".
