Hot as Puck: A Sexy Standalone Romantic Comedy (Bad Motherpuckers Series Book 1) Kindle Edition
The NHL's biggest bad boy is about to fall for the virgin next door…
I am the world’s biggest dating failure. We’re talking my last date went home with our waitress kind of failure. But I have an ace in the back pocket of my mom jeans—my sexy-as-sin best friend, NHL superstar forward, Justin Cruise.
Justin owes me favors dating back to seventh grade, long before he became a hotshot with a world famous…stick. So in return for my undying platonic loyalty, all I want is an easy-peasy crash course on how to be a sex goddess.
How hard can it be?
***
I have never been so hard in my life.
The things I want to do to my sweet, kindergarten-teaching, mitten-crocheting best friend Libby Collins are ten different kinds of wrong. Maybe twenty.
But I’m a firm believer in teaching by example, and by the end of our first lesson, we’ve graduated to a hands on approach to her education: my hands all over her, her hands all over me, and her hot mouth melting beneath mine as I prove to her there isn’t a damned thing wrong with the way she kisses. Give me a month, and I’ll transform Libby from wall flower to wall banger, and ensure she’s confident enough to seduce any guy she wants.
Problem is… the only guy I want her seducing is me.
Hot as Puck is a sexy, flirty, friends-to-lovers Standalone romantic comedy from USA Today Bestseller Lili Valente.

What do you do when you struggle to act normally around someone you're attracted to? You go to your hot as hockey playing BFF for 'advice' of course! Which is exactly what crochet loving slightly nerdy Libby Collins does when she goes a little Gaga trying to talk to her schools VP Roger. Enter hockey hot pants and all around best friend Justin Cruise, if anyone can help Libby it's him surely. Justin has plenty of experience to pass on, so what could go wrong? When hands off lessons turn into hands-all-over-the-place lessons! But no way could Justin be interested in Libby 'that way', until he is. If only he can convince Libby before either, a:Libby's big sister skins him alive or, b:Justin's ex gets things twisted. Let the bad poetry save the day!

Oh how I loved this cute story. To be able to ask a friend to do what they did would be...... I don’t know if I could. She certainly had a lot of courage..... can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

I like Lili Valente’s sense of humour. The characters were adorable, funny and a just little awkward. This was a really fun read. I got stuck in and before I knew it, was at the end. I alternated between reading and listening, and the narrators did a wonderful job too.

Hot as Puck is sweet, romantic and HOT as HELL! Justin and Libby have been friends since high school. She was the school geek and well he was the hot jock. They became really good friends when Libby taught Justin how to crochet when he fell ill and needed something to pass his time. Years later... they are still the best of friends. Justin is now a successful NHL player and has his pick of woman. Relationships... he's had them, but when things get too serious he is ready to move on. Libby is a lonely, unexperienced kindergarten teacher. Her last serious relationship ended up dumping her and becoming a priest. So her self esteem and sexual inner goddess, non existent. Libby is tired of being the babbling fool who stumbles on her words when trying to talk to man she likes. She wants someone with experience to teach her how to be and feel sexy, to channel her inner goddess. Who better than Justin, the man she trusts with her heart and soul.
Justin has never looked at Libby as more than a cute friend. But when she comes strolling into his birthday bash wearing a tight little number, well he can't get that image out if his head. When Libby proposes a plan for Justin to give her lessons in dating and sex, he is a bit reluctant at first. But when they agree to no strings, "Friends with Benefits", it's a win/win for both of them. What neither of them expected is to fall for one another. Justin and Libby are afraid that what they each are feeling is one sided and will not be reciprocated. They are also afraid that revealing how they feel may destroys their friendship, so they keep their feelings to themselves. Will Justin and Libby find the strength to share how they really feel for one another before it is too late? How will it effect them and others around them?
Hot as Puck had me swooning, laughing, crying and cheering. I LOVE FRIENDS TO LOVERS ROMANCES. Libby and Justin's connection and chemistry was off the charts. I felt connected to them from the very start. It was refreshing to see both Libby and Justin's vulnerabilities and how they each complemented and completed the other. Like two broken hearts mending one another to make one. Well written Lili Valente, you keep awing me every time. I can't wait for Brendan and Laura's story in Sexy Motherpucker.

A shy innocent teacher and her hot as heck hockey player friend.
Reviewed in the United States on 3 March 2024Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this fast burn story.
Libby is a super sweet, shy, smart kindergarten teacher. She loves making lessons plans and crocheting. She has super hot hockey playing friend she taught crocheting years ago.
Justin isn't afraid to show off his crocheting creations while posing with just his creations and very little else on. His scores on and off the ice. He's confident, charming, loyal. A great friend. So great that Libby asks him to tudor her on how to flirt and have a relationship.
Justin tries to help verbally but that doesn't seem to work on this anxiety, panic induing self doubting teacher. So Justin has to change up his lesson plan. But will he succeed in helping his friend get the guy she likes??
This was a quick super cute and steamy read. I freaking love Justin and Libby. They are adorable. 🥰

If you think this is some poorly written sport romace book you are sooo wrong.
It is such a well written love story, it gave me all the feels it was just perfection.
Hockey romance ratio is about 20/80 maybe.
But a really good read!

I picked this one up for free on Amazon because I loved the premise of a shy, wholesome, kindergarten teacher asking her womanizing, hockey-player, best friend for dating advise. It is one of my favourite tropes, probably because it reminds me of the very first romance novel I ever read when I was a teenager and sneaking them behind my mother's back ;)
My expectations weren't that high because it was a free read and because I am not the biggest sports fan, but this story was excellent and exceeded my expectations, there was almost nothing that I didn't like about it. I have to admit it took me a couple pages to get into the story since I was nervous about just how womanizing Justin was but things got on track pretty quickly. I'm going to be a little picky and state that I would have preferred Justin to have been not quite so recently single because it does muddy the waters a bit, but it didn't diminish my enjoyment of the story. I also didn't love how often it was mentioned that Libby's only real serious boyfriend became a priest after they dated. I'm being fussy because everything else was just perfect for me.
I loved Libby, priest ex-boyfriend aside, I found her to be very relatable, kind, generous, crafty, bookish, all the best traits really. Justin grew on me quickly, he was very down to earth, crafty and charitable. I quickly became invested in seeing them come together and realize how well they fit together. Something else the author did really well was bring the secondary cast of characters to life as well. It's a fine line between them overshadowing vs. supporting.
I think my favourite things that the author did was not make Justin's ex or Libby's other potential love interest into villains. I LOVED that they were cool people in their own right but just not the right fit for our hero and heroine. It's an unrealistic commonplace problem that I have with romance novels, the other man or woman holds some unredeemable flaw that is uncovered, they cheat, or lie, or skin puppies, instead of people good people that just aren't the right match for our main characters.
I'm really bummed that the rest of the series is not on Kindle Unlimited, but I will probably buy them because the author is a spectacular writer, excellent story-teller and I want to know more about the cast of characters I was just introduced to.

I love a book that is funny as well as hot as hell; they are few and far between so I really enjoyed this page turner from Lili Valente from page one. Who wouldn't want to learn the carnal ways of the world from a sexy as fornication ice hockey player who knows exactly what to do and you trust your life with due to a shared history. Good then I'll continue!
This book is really well written, Lili Valente captures every possible emotion that could course through each of the character's body as they travel this torturous journey together; be they good or bad. As the super cute pairing discover together and separately learning new things are not what they expect either as the teacher or the student and this is brought across to the reader really well. The history of both characters is portrayed well along with the supporting cast who play their parts really well trying to throw spanners into the training regime of the pair.
I loved the pace of the book, it moved along really well with the two main characters growing together throughout the story moving to the inevitable HEA.
I loved this book and totally recommend it xx

Romance doce, sexy e com ótimos personagens.
Reviewed in Brazil on 29 July 2018Verified Purchase
Este livro foi uma bela surpresa desde a primeira página. Leve, romântico e super, super engraçado, há muito eu não me divertia tanto com um Sport romance.
A trama conta a história de Justin’s e Libby que são amigos desde a adolescência, sempre compartilharam momentos importantes de suas vidas e acabam descobrindo que o que os une é mais que amizade. Os personagens são bastante jovens, ele com 28 anos e ela com 24 e o livro está classificado com romance contemporâneo mas eu creio que fica mais no meio termo entre um romance contemporâneo e um new adult.
Além de engraçados e originais, eles me pareceram também um pouco infantis para a idade. Enquanto este fato poderia ter funcionado como um problema, no texto dinâmico e com diálogos rápidos e cheios de humor de Lili Valente essa característica funcionou como mais um elemento de humor.
Um romance doce, sexy, com personagens charmosos e adoráveis, e conflito na medida para aumentar o interesse do leitor. Amei.
