About this item

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.

    I couldn’t put The Pucking Coach’s Daughter down! I loved this book and all the characters. Sydney’s connection to each of the guys is amazing and the banter between all of them, perfection!

    No one does a dark hockey romance quite like S. Massery does. I really enjoyed this book, the characters, and the dynamic between the main characters. The raw emotion portrayed absolutely gutted me and had to finish this in one sitting. The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is because the storyline with Sydney’s mom just didn’t seem to really add much of anything here and fell flat for me once resolved.

    Spice ????️ 5/5
    Dark Romance factor ???? 5/5
    Plot 4/5
    Attention to detail 2/5

    All of that to say, I enjoy the darker shades from the MMCs most if the time, there were scenes where it was a lot to take in but I really don’t understand how the FMC just overlooked the red flags (or black in some stances). It’s one thing to like and be attracted to pain but it’s a completely different to stick around, and continue to fall deeper in love with the ones that torture you.

    There was bullying, non consent consent, flat out rape, somnophilia, attempted rape, stalking, breaking and entering, kidnappings, torture, killing, blood play… and so much more. Some of which I ok with, some of which are understandable to forgive but not others when they happen more than once and she’s clearly upset and affected.

    My issue with the plot itself was the lack of attention to detail, there were part were things were never truly explained clearly, there were sentences that didn’t make any sense and the way the men go from these dark demons to golden retrievers is just something that I’m just not ok with. Angry to puppy is more for an enemies to lovers sweet and tender not for so much darkness in the book, it just clashes with their initial personality.

    There were also other characters that were brought in that just made no sense in the end as to why they were introduced and were given so much attention to end up being nothing in the end.

    If you focus exclusively on the spice and lightly on the dark romance aspect of the story it’s very much enjoyable but if you’re a book lover looking for the entire package, then this is not it.

    Sydney decides to go all Mission Impossible and break into the home of Oliver, the hockey captain from her school’s biggest rival, in a daring quest to snag back her lost treasure. While on her undercover adventure, she stumbles upon the ultimate golden ticket: his team’s playbook for the big game against her own squad! Naturally, she whips out her phone and snaps some sneaky pics to send to her ex, Carter, who’s now captain of her team. Fast forward to game day, and Oliver’s team takes a total nosedive into defeat. But oh snap—Sydney’s little escapade gets exposed! Now she’s left scrambling, losing her scholarship and begging her dad (who just happens to be the coach at the school she betrayed) for a lifeline. But wait—what happens when she catches the eye of the dreamy captain and goalie? Can she skate her way through this mess? I was on the edge of my seat, heart racing with every twist and turn! And don’t forget your headphones; the audiobook is pure magic! With star-studded performances from Alyssa Avery, Teddy Hamilton, Gregory Salinas, and Alex Kydd, you’ll be hooked from start to finish!

    I was wholly and completely unprepared for this book and how amazing it was going to be.

    This is my first S. Massery book and by the 30% mark I had already ordered two others of hers!

    I was genuinely so sucked into this book that I couldn’t put it down. I finished it less than 24 hours after starting it! The plot was amazing, moved so quickly and kept me interested at every single turn. The story was perfection!

    I really enjoyed several of the characters (given it’s a bully romance, multiple of them took me awhile to come around to) from the beginning and I really like Syd! I enjoyed how realistic she felt as a character!

    It is definitely a dark romance and some of these scenes are insanely intense. My hard was pounding multiple times and my emotions were running crazy high! Having such a huge reaction to the story is a testament to how well written it was!

    The spice was insane, dark and so good! I loved all the spice each MMC brought to the table, it allowed for some super unique scenes that worked well with the plot.

    Overall, I LOVED this book and I can’t wait to read another from S. Massery. I have a feeling she’s going to be a new favorite if mine!
