Lily wrote a spectacular book ! I laughed so hard in places and also cried a little. This book is worth a second read just because it’s so GOOD.

I fall in and out of love with reading so much and this was my first book in months. It was an amazing love story and sexy in all the right ways…Give it a try.

The first 145 pages were awful! They were really horrible and made no sense. As I read the characters started to make sense. It was a fair book. I will give it 3 1/2 stars

Great read

Such a good story with substance & enough lightheartedness to make it sweet and wildly engaging…loved Petrov

Lili just keeps writing the best books that I cannot put down!! At first when all the Russian proverbs start I wasn't too sure and then the love story started. Once that happened I was glued to this book!! Amanda "Mandy" and Alexi are in for a ride of their life! Ups, downs, and all around but the ups win! These hockey men are irresistible and hot as can be with a love for their family!

After a crazy night of margaritas and dancing Amanda makes the risky decision to go home with the sexy, mysterious man who caught her eye. They spend an incredible night together but before things have a chance to get awkward Amanda sneaks off, without ever getting his name. Fast forward to a few months later at her best friend's wedding, where her sexy one night stand just happens to be friends and teammates with the groom. Now Amanda has no choice but to face him and let him know the exciting news...she's pregnant and he's the father. Alexi Petrov is known for being the most terrifying defender in the NHL but when he finds out about Amanda and the baby he becomes the world's biggest softie. All of his protective instincts kick in and he insists she move into his guest house where he can help her out and keep her safe. And maybe with enough time, convince her to give him a real chance at a relationship. I loved everything about these two and how their relationship develops. Watching Alexi faces his fears and take care of Amanda is so sweet and heartfelt. They are a perfect couple and fit in wonderfully with the Bad Motherpuckers series.

Second chances. We all need them. And sometimes they come when we least expect them, and bring things that we never anticipated. A second chance for Alexi Petrov and Amanda Esposito doesn't look anything like they expected, and offers so much more than they could have imagined, and comes at the time when they need it the most. I am a longtime fan of author Lili Valente, and have absolutely fallen in love with her Bad Motherpucker series of romantic comedies featuring the sexy hockey players that make up the Portland Badgers and the women that they love. Quirky, hot, and always fun, these books both tug at my heartstrings and ratchet up the heat to 5-alarm status, making them the perfect feel-good reads. Certainly as hot as the previous books in the series, PUCK ME BABY brought a whole new level of feels for me, incorporating issues into the storyline that I was not expecting, and that had me wiping away tears on more than one occasion. Alexi immediately became one of my favorite Motherpuckers, showing amazing depth of character and emotion behind that heavy hockey defender scowl. And Mandy is what every leading lady should be, and which I've come to expect in Lili's books. She's strong, brave, and not afraid to do things on her terms, speaking her mind and demanding an answer, even when it's not comfortable. These two were perfect for each other from the get-go, and I enjoyed every single moment with them. This whole series of books are 5-star reads for me, and I happily recommend the lot of them. Although interconnected, they can be read as standalones, but why wouldn't you read them all? PUCK ME BABY will steal your heart, have you crying happy (and sad) tears, and have you fanning yourself, sometimes all at once, and should most definitely be right at the top of your TBR.

Puck Me Baby is the fourth book in the Motherpuckers Series by Lili Valente. It stars Alexi, a defensemen for the Portland Badgers and Amanda, Diana's BFF and text buddy from Puck Aholic. Alexi has been burned and hurt by his last serious relationship. He is the broody, scary team mate that has sworn off love. That is until his one night stand, the hot and irresistible Amanda rocked his world. Leaving him without a trace, Alexi wonders about the beauty that shared his bed. That's until they bump into each other three months later at their mutual friends wedding. Both shocked at how close they are connected through friends, Amanda once again disappears. Disappointed that he once again lost her, Alexi is lost for words but soon discovers Amanda passed out outside. Their ride to the hospital reveals that Amanda is pregnant and indeed the child is Alexi's. Alexi has been given a second chance at fatherhood and is thrilled. Stepping up, he provides a safe home and security for Amanda who also has had her share of bad luck in the love department. As time passes, and although Amanda has requested they remain as friends, neither Alexi or Amanda can deny their connection from the start. Both want more, but their fears and past experiences keeps their hearts guarded. Alexi lets Amanda see the sweeter, tender and loving side that not many get to see. Soon Amanda finds the wall around her heart falling and she is more than ready to take a leap of faith. As things between Amanda and Alexi strengthen, a baby scare rocks their sweet little bubble. Alexi feels the guilt of a secret he has been carrying. When it is revealed, Amanda's is floored, her one rule was no lies. Distancing herself, Alexi is lost, hurting and missing the sweet, kind, big browned eyed beauty that found a place in his heart. Can Alexi win back Amanda? Will the baby survive? I just adored Alexi and Amanda. The letters and texts had me laughing, crying and hoping. Lili Valente once again has written another beautiful story with a strong, kind, selfless heroin and a alpha male with just the right amount of tenderness, sweetness and protectiveness. I love my Motherpucker men and women, can't wait to see what Lili has in store for us next.

PUCK ME BABY By Lili Valente The story of Alexi and Mandy was riveting. I truly had trouble putting the book down to attend to other things. Their story is one of love, secrets, danger and most of all caring. It has it’s ups and downs with their story but this is what makes the book so exciting because I wanted to find out what happens next in every single chapter. I don’t give away any spoilers because I myself prefer to read the book and find out for myself what the story is all about. I will tell you that this book will keep your interest from Start to Finish and you won’t regret taking the time to read this book. I give this book FIVE STARS!
