About this ebook

Wanted: Discreet Dominant gentleman to teach maybe-submissive woman the rules of the game. No whips, chains, paddles, handcuffs, ropes, or toys. No nookie. No creepy stuff. No butt stuff. No gluten. Just the facts, Sir.

Serious inquiries only. –CuriousCat4

When I see the ad in the Portland Alternative’s “Love Wanted” section, I can’t resist the urge to respond. Yes, it’s dangerous—as a star forward for the Badgers I have a reputation to protect—but I miss the thrill of calling the shots in the bedroom and reading that ad is the first time I’ve laughed in months.

So I reach out to Curious Cat about the “educational” opportunity...

A few sizzling—and hysterical—emails later we arrange to meet. I’m hoping we’ll have chemistry, and I might finally be on my way to getting over my ex-girlfriend.

And then the gate to the beer garden swings open and in walks Hailey.

My ex is Curious Cat, and this experiment just got a hell of a lot more complicated.

​But I never back down from a challenge—on or off the ice.

I keep my educational offer on the table—six weeks of submissive lessons. Six weeks to learn how to drive a Dominant man crazy, and then we part ways as friends.

What do I have to lose? Except what’s left of my heart?

Ratings and reviews

Once again, Lili Valente has penned a puckaliciously fun, hot and sexy hockey romance. We had a little glimmer of Will and Hailey in earlier novels in this series but Pucked Up Love gives us the completion of their story which I know we have all been anxiously awaiting. Though their hearts were joined for years, when she learns that Will has been holding something back in their relationship, Hailey runs away from the match she always believed was perfect. Now it’s a year later and neither Will nor Hailey’s hearts can let go of the love that had always consumed them. So she’s decides to open her mind and take a chance on learning about the world of dom/sub relationships in the bedroom to see if the perfect fit she always believed they were goes even deeper. But when the ad Hailey places in hopes of delving deeper into new experiences, she is stunned to discover that Will is the one who answers it. Now as they both try to keep their feelings shielded as they begin to partake in the “lesson plans”, their hearts become more entangled than ever before. But is this new world in the bedroom which ignites passions in Hailey she never knew existed what she is really looking for, and can they both find a way to make this change in their relationship bring them back to the happily ever after they’ve always wanted to share together? As with each one of the couples which came before, Will and Hailey quickly pulled me back into the Bad Motherpuckers series and kept a tight hold as a turned each page. The shenanigans they share in the bedroom virtually set my iPad aflame as the heat of passion ignites their souls helping them to discover together a world they’ve never experienced with each other. It’s always fun to revisit all of the Badgers and their lady loves that we’ve met in the past which remind me each time I pick up a new addition to this series how much fun, hot and sexy they all are. Wow Ms. Valente! Pucked Up Love is another score (puck in the net if you will) for this series.

Will Saunders has a secret. One he has kept hidden from his love for several years. He has decided to move forward with their life together and keep his secret hidden. Hailey loves will with all her heart and soul and when she overhears him talking to a man about his secret life she is crushed. This can't be the man she loves. She runs and fate brings them back together in a rather delicious way. This book, like all the others in this series is so good, funny, sexy, and a page turner. I laughed and also teared up several times from the love and emotion in their story. This book made me evaluate my own secret fantasies, we all have them but rarely share them with our partners. It makes you realize life is too short and you should always be true to who you are and not hide that from those you love. I received an early copy to read and review and give my honest opinion. I loved this book for so many reasons. Will and Hailey melted my heart. I highly recommend it.

Such a great motherpuckin’ series! I am always in stalker mode for more of this author and series. Discreet Dominant and Curious Cat were worth the wait as this second chance romance ticked all the waiting boxes! All was well, great in fact, or so Hailey thought. When they broke up, they both were left with many, many questions and a feeling of loss so profound, it couldn’t end that way. It just couldn’t… How they reconnected and rebuilt those intimate ties was a lesson in self-control and soul-searching that was hot and emotional satisfying. So many questions – and answers to them all – came slowly, as they built back the bonds of honesty and trust. There were tears and laughter plus a chance for me to connect with the characters as they went through it all. I devoured each page much too quickly as I felt their pain, and experienced their joy. With sisterly love and support and a friend for Will when needed, they weren’t alone in their journey. So while I didn’t want this story to end, I admit, Bree and Shane are on my radar and I can’t wait to read more about them! *Reviewed for 1-Click Addict Support Group

About the author

Author of over forty novels, USA Today Bestseller Lili Valente writes everything from steamy suspense to laugh-out-loud romantic comedies. A die-hard romantic and optimist at heart, she can’t resist a story where love wins big. Because love should always win.

 

When she’s not writing, Lili enjoys adventuring with her two sons, climbing on rocks, swimming too far from shore, and asking “why” an incorrigible number of times per day. A former yoga teacher, actor, and dancer, she is also very bendy and good at pretending innocence when caught investigating off-limits places.

 

You can currently find Lili in the mid-South, valiantly trying to resist the lure of all the places left to explore.
