Review

Oh my, I love this EM Lindsey rom-com. On the lighter side of EM’s work, there was a lot of humour, some incredible swooning, but still their quintessential touching back story.


Waking up in Vegas, missing your legs is certainly one heck of a way to start a story!


What follows is a unique take on the waking up married in Vegas trope. With two men who could definitely use a fresh start at love and a whole lot of healing.


They were both super intriguing and likable characters. Tucker and his found family of friends were an absolute delight to witness. They were beautiful in their love for one another. And chaotic in the way you expect of sports-dudes!


Deo found so much more than a love story, and it was an incredible journey for him. He came into his own, and I love it for him.


This series is going to be really special.

Synopsis

Sometimes what happens in Vegas shows up at your door two weeks later to tell you that he’s the guy you married while you were blackout drunk.


Tucker:


Waking up alone in a strange hotel room, missing my prosthetic legs, and no memory of what happened the night before is not how I wanted to spend my estranged twin’s bachelor party trip.


Yet there I was, legless and zero idea how I got there. Or who I spent the night with. Which is…not great.


Though I suppose that trauma lies somewhere between losing my legs in a car accident which killed my career in the NHL, and my brother running off with my fiancée.


So, in the grand scheme of things, not the worst weekend I’ve had.


But while I’m no longer a bitter, angry man, I’m also maybe—kind of, sort of—not the most well-adjusted person on the planet. And that shows when an adorable, dimpled, wild-haired man shows up at my door to tell me that the hazy night in Vegas had a very specific ending:


At some point, after several chocolate cake shots and trauma dumping, Amedeo and I found Elvis and got married.


The easy thing to do would be to make sure the marriage isn’t valid. But when have I ever made anything in my life easy? Especially since the incentive is getting to keep this man in my orbit.


We might have had the weirdest beginning of any married couple, but now I’m feeling strangely determined to give us both the happily ever after we deserve.


Zero Pucks is the first book in a rom-com, strangers to lovers, MM romance sled hockey series. It features a ride or die hockey found family, snarky best friends, the Team Dad who refuses to approve of bad decisions, why sled hockey is way more terrifying than standing hockey, awkward first dates, steaming hot first kisses, and a Golden Retriever of an Alternate Captain determined to give them both the happiest of ever afters.
