My Pucking Crush: A Dark MM Hockey Bodyguard Romance

Such a great story. I would’ve never thought putting a hockey star together with a bratva member would work, but these two were magnetic. The storyline was well timed and exciting with non-stop drama that will keep you glued to the pages. We get a lot of hockey action which I really appreciate in a sports romance. There was an air of suspense and a heavily traumatic backstory that will have your emotions in a tailspin. Ten out of ten would recommend (after checking content warnings of course!)

I’ve read hockey romance and loved it. I’ve read mafia suspense and loved it. I’ve read MM romance and loved it. Now, Tori Chase combines all three into a seamless, thrilling, and emotional story that absolutely delivers. My Pucking Crush was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it exceeded every expectation. I was already hooked when the cast was announced—Joe Arden as Max Ryan, the self-proclaimed GOAT hockey player, and Teddy Hamilton as Luca Sheppard, the mafia member turned security guard with a soft spot for hockey (and specifically, Max). The action isn’t just on the ice. While the hockey elements are perfectly woven into the story, Tori makes sure even non-sports fans feel immersed without getting lost in the details. The gameplay and teamwork are as engaging as the personal drama. But this book is so much more than a sports romance. There’s a gripping mafia suspense plot, a surprising connection I didn’t see coming, and the emotional weight of Max and Luca’s painful, tragic pasts. Their relationship evolves beautifully, taking readers on a journey of patience, discovery, and unconditional love. The chemistry is undeniable, but Tori doesn’t make things easy. Just when you think the story is heating up, she throws in twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. The last few chapters were a heart-pounding and emotional rollercoaster. Max and Luca’s story is one of resilience and acceptance, proving that love can overcome even the most daunting…
