Stella Hart is the hottest thing in country music. For ten years, she’s been Nashville’s darling. She’s pure, sweet, and a positive role model in an industry rife with scandals, sex, and sequins. Men want to own her, women want to be her—everyone wants a piece of her, and Stella? Well, she wants
out.
As the center for the Calgary Crushers, Van Ross isn’t afraid of the spotlight, but he doesn’t much like it either. Despite his reputation as a player, the NHL’s bad boy lives for only two things: the game, and his
younger brother. That’s why when he comes across a country music superstar seeking refuge at his home in the Canadian Rockies, he’s not too happy with the media shitstorm this surprise houseguest brings.
With a nationwide manhunt, paparazzi dogging their every move, producers of a reality TV show baying for blood, and a record label desperate to see their “good girl” returned safely home, Van and Stella’s lives are snowballing out of control.
While Van would like nothing more than to show the purest of them all how well he handles his er … stick, Stella is no puck bunny. Nor is she as innocent as she’d have the world believe. With chemistry like theirs, tension runs high on and off the ice, but the end game is the same for both players: line up the puck, take the shot, and score. If only their hearts understood the play.

Puck fame and fortune.
Puck right and wrong.

Puck love.

Renee’s Five Star Review

I  received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Stella Hart is the hottest thing in country music. For the past ten years she has been Nashville’s sweetheart. She is also a positive role model in an industry filled with scandals, sex and sequins. Mean want to own her and woman want to be her. Everyone wants a piece of Stella. All Stella wants though is out.

Van Ross is a center for the Calgary Crushers and isn’t afraid of the spotlight but he is not a huge fan of it either. He may have a reputation as a NHL bad boy but he lives only for the game and his younger brother. He never expected to meet up with one of country musics hottest superstars let alone let her seek refuge in his home in the Canadian Rockies. He is however not to happy with the media mess the surprise house guest brings. Now in the middle of a nationwide man hung and paparazzi dogging their every move and a record label desperate to see their good girl returned safely home Van and Stella’s lives are snowballing out of control. While Van would be happy to show Stella how well he uses his stick, Stella is no puck bunny. Nor is she as innocent as she’d have the world believe. Their chemistry is like not other and tension run high on and off the ice but the end game is the same for both players, line up the puck, take the shot and score. If only their hearts understood the play.

Oh my goodness I loved this book so freaking much. I laughed in so many places and swooned about a million times. The things that come out of Van’s mouth didn’t fail to crack me up and I have to say he is one smooth operator. Puck love is both a funny and sweet story that is emotional too. To say these two had chemistry from the moment they met is a understatement. I loved too how Van loved and cared for his brother. It so melted my heart. There is something for every reader in this book. It is one of my favorite reads of 2017.

As always Carmen Jenner had me from the first word and I was so sad to see this book end. I could have spent forever with these characters. If you pick up only one book this year to read I have to recommend Puck Love. There is just no way you will not love this book.

Excerpt

“What are you running from?” I say, echoing the me from several months ago when this strange and beautiful creature had arrived on my doorstep, lost, and seeking refuge from a world that might have destroyed a lesser woman.
She takes several steps back until there’s nowhere left to go but on top of the counter.
“I’m not running from anything.”
I press against her. She’s stiff as a board. That makes two of us. “I miss you, Stella. I jack it every day thinking about you, sometimes twice a day. I want you.”
“You can’t have me, Van.”
“Bullshit,” I hiss. I slide my hand into her hair, and pull her closer. I lean in, but I don’t kiss her. “Tell me you miss me. Tell me you’re thinking about me, too.”
“I don’t . . .” She shakes her head, but her breath is hot and heavy against my face.
“I’m not.” 

I close my eyes and rub my cheek against hers. My stubble is likely scratching her delicate skin, but she doesn’t pull away, and I slide my hand under her shirt. She’s braless. I groan. All those long days and nights she tortured me at the cabin by wearing only my flannel shirts with no bra, and probably no panties either, for all I knew. This little cock tease needs a taste of her own medicine.
