The Pucking Coach's Daughter

By: S. Massery

Narrated by: Alyssa Avery, Teddy Hamilton, Gregory Salinas, Alex Kydd

Trust no one.

I learn that the hard way after hockey star Carter Masters stabs me in the back and turns our rival school against me.

Suddenly, I'm public enemy number one at Framingham State. Just a year later, that's exactly where I'm forced to enroll.

No one has forgotten what I did. The anti-Sydney campaign is led by two gorgeous, psycho hockey players. Oliver Ruiz, captain, and Penn Walker, the devastating goalie.

They have me in their sights the moment I step foot on their campus. Where they lead, the rest of the students follow. They won't stop until I'm gone and Carter's team faces payback.

My only solace from the constant bullying comes from a blocked number that keeps texting me.

As much as Oliver and Penn want to, they can't drive me off completely. Because even at the worst moments, I know I'm not going anywhere.

After all, I'm their coach's daughter.

Not my fav

I didn’t love the characters. A little too ‘angsty teen’. Spicy but the chemistry was lacking. The redemption arc wasn’t arcing enough for me. I want the men to grovel. The female narrator could have been better. It’s very monotone.

Needs a rape warning

I enjoyed the start of this story. However the coercive control, the having sex without consent and the sexual violence is concerning. I will continue to listen as I’m 2/3 through. But it’s getting a little to dangerous for the main character

Wow! That was crazy!… but sooo good😊😏👏🏻

Massery never disappoints! I enjoyed this book a lot and of course I loved the audiobook❤️ Definitely recommend!👏🏻

just ok

Um, it was ok. I'm not sure why everyone was so in love with Sydney. She didn't seem like anything special to me. There was nothing super special about this book either. There was some bullying before they fell in love with her golden vagina, some weird high school girl pranks in the bathroom, some very strange texting with L (that whole exchange could have been written out of the story), lots of breaking and entering, somno, period play, but not much plot. The whole mom/police thing was ridiculous too

The audio was pretty good. It would have been great in duet/full cast narration. But it was pretty good.

I probably won't revisit this one.

HOLY TRIGGER WARNING NOT JUST MATURE CONTENT -audiobook issues

Love it over all. The story is good. I have issues with who ever approved the audio books though. This isn't contemporary, romance, this is dark romance. Opening credits only warn of mature subject materials not the physical book warning! I had to had to go searching for a physical copy to know what the actual book trigger warnings say. Before you are like "oh it says mature subject material" that can mean anything from spicy scenes to other content that could be labeled as romance but is fine line between romance and dark romance. Which I am okay with. Some of this caught me completely off guard when there wasn't much warning in the audio book. Now those who say just get the physical book. Most of use audiobook listeners don't have time for the physical book or bought it with our monthly credit wondering if it would be good.

A++ for the voice Actors

The story, the spice, the voice acting everything delivered!
The audio book version of this is a MUST!

Unhinged is the name of the game

S. Massery did what S. Massery does best! An unhinged hockey romance surrounding men with questionable morals that you can't help but to love. I ate this one up (twice) and I'm prepared to do so again! Great book!

OMG

Probably my favorite book. Dark, dirty, and delicious. I've read/listened to the author before and I have enjoyed all of them but this one has everything I love. Beware of the trigger warnings.

4 Stars

In the end, this book was good. I am not a huge fan of the multiple partners trope, but I loved the Hockey Gods series so I wanted to give this book a try. It’s very dark, so please read the trigger warnings. It’s a little crazy how much bad stuff happens to one character. Carter was my favorite. He is dark, but he did the very least terrible things to Sydney and he’s so caring with her. He also has loved her the longest. It’s obvious from the beginning of the book how much Carter loves Sydney. In my opinion, Oliver and Penn just can’t come back from what they did to her. I almost didn’t finish it a couple of times simply bc I wasn’t a fan of what was going on, but I the book kept me interested enough to push through and find out what happens. I’m still not a fan of the why choose trope, but this book was well written.

great story ~ want more

although I could have definitely used a warning about some of the content ~ I enjoyed to characters and found myself wanting to know about them and their story.
