My Pucking Crush

A Dark MM Hockey Bodyguard Romance

De: Tori Chase, Deborah Garland

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Teddy Hamilton

Protecting him is my duty, but falling for him could be my undoing.

I’ve spent five years burying my past, leaving behind the violence and bloodshed of my former life as a Bratva enforcer. Now, I’m just Luca—the quiet guy who keeps his head down, working security for a professional hockey team. I don’t get close to anyone, and I definitely don’t let anyone get close to me.

But then I’m assigned to protect Max Ryan, the team’s star defenseman, and everything changes. He's my obsession. My crush. Max is everything I shouldn’t want. Charismatic and stubborn, he’s got a knack for finding trouble, and now he’s got a target on his back. The last thing I need is to be drawn into his world, where old loyalties and deadly secrets collide with new, dangerous desires.

As much as I try to keep things professional, Max has a way of breaking through my defenses. But when a shadow from my past threatens to destroy him and everything I’ve built, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him safe. Even if it means confronting the darkness I thought I’d left behind—and risking everything, including my heart.

Pucking Amazing!

I absolutely loved this audiobook!
It was narrated by Teddy Hamilton & Joe Arden. Talk about a star cast. They both brought the characters to life in a way that’s so compelling you don’t realize the story is over until it’s over.

The story follows Luca, who works security for a hockey team, and Max, the star defense player but Luca’s past may put them in danger.

These 2 are amazing and their story will definitely have you feeling all the emotions. At some points I just wanted to give Max a hug.
There is non stop drama, found family, angst, twists, and turns. Normally the security guard/bodyguard thing is overdone for my taste but My Pucking Crush was really good.

Some Tropes:
Enemies to lovers
Forced proximity
One bed
Mafia vibes

So good!

Love this story, and the performances just made it that much better for me. I never could have imagined getting drawn into a MM love story, the hurt and love was so relatable.

Loved!

Such a good book, just wish it would’ve been longer! Narration was so good, 2 of my favorite

Characters

Teddy Hamilton & Joe Arden are magic. Really enjoyed the story. Chemistry was on point. Hope they work together.

Loved it.

I absolutely loved this book. Tori is a new author to me but I will definitely be checking out her other works. I liked the flow of the story and the surprises. The performances by Teddy Hamilton and Joe Arden were amazing. They both bring such emotion, passion, versatility, and vulnerability to these characters. I would absolutely recommend this book.

Such a Steamy Romance

The only thing I will say that I didn’t like were how short the sex scenes were. I feel like they didn’t get enough time to explore and take care of one another. Apart from that I devoured this book and loved it!

Oh my Holy Hockey madness

This book has everything - hockey, spicy scenes, mafia suspense, and forbidden love.

This is a new author for me and loved it.

Of course, 2 of the best narrators made this an amazing listen!

Hang on to the epilogue - it keeps you on the edge

Narration made it

A few plot holes but I didn’t come here for a literary masterpiece. It was a very fun listen made infinitely better by narration by 2/3 of the holy trinity of romance narration. Joe Arden and Teddy Hamilton were as flawless as ever.

Perfection

I'm going to be honest. I only listened to this because Joe Arden and Teddy Hamilton are the narrators. And OH MY GOD!! They did not disappoint at all. This was my first hockey read also. I'm usually not a sports book kinda gal but if these two voice it, I'll turn into one.

The audiobook is audiobooking!!!!

Everyone book should be narrated by these two. Their vocal chemistry was off the charts. The story hit every plot element with force and had such a beautiful conclusion 10/10
