Pucking Around: A Why Choose Hockey Romance (Jacksonville Rays, Book 1) By Emily Rath

In the opening chapter of the international bestselling Jacksonville Rays Hockey Series, we meet Rachel Price, who made the seemingly perfect decision to walk away from a magical night with an unnamed man. Little did she know that he is the playboy grinder for the NHL's hottest new hockey team, the Jacksonville Rays. Fate has a different plan for Rachel when she becomes the team's new physical therapist, and her challenge intensifies as Mr. Perfect doesn't even recognize her.

As Rachel navigates her new role, she finds herself entangled with not just one, but two men from the team—Mr. Perfect Mistake and his surly best friend, the equipment manager. To add to the complications, she discovers an uncooperative goalie hiding an injury. Determined to prove herself, Rachel faces a rollercoaster of challenges, unexpected nights, and revealed secrets.

"Pucking Around" is more than a spicy hockey romance; it's a 'why choose' narrative, exploring the complexities of love and relationships. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the intense world of professional hockey, where passion and competition intersect. To fully immerse in the series, readers are recommended to start with the prequel novella, "That One Night," setting the stage for a tale that explores love as a game, with these formidable men playing to win Rachel's heart. 📚❤️
