5/5⭐️
2.75/5🌶️

Kristen DID THE DAMN THING with this book. 👏🏼 Hands down my favorite from the series. Krum Cake has my whole. entire. heart.

Puck Pact follows Alexander Krum, captain of the Goldfinches NHL Team, & Aarya, who we have met in the previous books as Cassidy’s best friend. Alex & Aarya have a strong connection and obvious attraction from the start, but after being screwed over in the past, Alex isn’t looking for anything casual and Aarya isn’t looking for anything more than one night with the hot hockey captain. However, Alex finds himself in a situation where he needs to find a wife — & fast… who better for the job than the one feisty, independent woman who is adamant she doesn’t need a man?

This story is definitely a bit of a slow burn but once it starts burning… Oh baby it BURNS 😮‍💨🔥 These two were so explosive & absolutely perfect together. Alex was the perfect mix between dominant/possessive and sweet/supportive. I loved Aarya’s character development in this book — her growing relationship with Giuliana was so beautiful & seemed so natural despite her fears. Overall obsessed with this little fam 🥹🖤

Thank you Kristen for allowing me to read & review early. I loved every second of Alex & Aarya’s story!
