My Pucking Ever After: Volume 1 Book Review - No Spoilers
Plot Summary
I picked up Pucking Ever After: Volume 1 by Emily Rath because I needed more—after the end of “Pucking Around,” I wanted to know what really happens next for Rachel and her why-choose hockey crew. This novella gives me exactly that: six bonus chapters that span four years after the original story. I get a front-row seat to the future of Team Price, with every intimate, funny, heart-twisting detail. The writing is unfiltered, switching between hilarious banter, some genuinely sweet family moments, and the same wild, spicy scenes I expect from this series. There’s no repeat of old drama, just fresh adventures and a lot of messy, joyful love as the whole unconventional family figures out life after the big game.
This book isn’t a standalone—it’s meant to be read after “Pucking Around,” and feels like one long, satisfying epilogue. It answers questions I didn’t even realize I had, fills in the future, and lets me revisit a cast that always makes me smile. There’s a focus on happiness here: big milestones, sexy chaos, and even some off-the-wall jokes (the baby-naming convo alone deserves its own highlight). The novella is genuinely fun, lighthearted, and deeply spicy, and it never lets me forget how hard-won this family’s happy ending really is.
Why I Love This Book
I love how this book offers pure payoff. There are laughs, heated scenes, and so much heart in every chapter. Seeing Rachel and the guys get their happy ever after—messy, complicated, and joyful—hits me right where I want. The relationships keep growing; I never feel like things have gone stale. Every new scene is packed with energy, and the emotional beats (from baby news to confessions and inside jokes) make this found family feel even more real. The spice is intense, but the humor and tenderness balance it out perfectly.
What stands out most is how much the story celebrates love in every chaotic form—romantic, sexual, and platonic. I love the banter. I love the way the couples (and throuples, and more) still push and support each other. This isn’t just a bonus for the sake of more content—it's a true peek into what happily ever after might actually look like for this crew. Every page feels like coming home.
Who Will Like This Book
If you loved Pucking Around and crave more of Rachel, her men, and their outrageous, joyful brand of love, you need this novella. If you’re into why-choose (reverse harem) romance, explicit scenes, and found family that’s a little chaotic but all-in, this is for you. You’ll especially want this if you enjoy bonus content that’s not just steamy but delivers big laughs and true warmth. It’s not a standalone, and you should read the series in order.
⚠️ Trigger warning: This book has graphic, explicit sex scenes, including group and praise kink, and open relationships. There’s nothing dark or violent, but it is meant for open-minded adults only. Always check the author’s full content warnings if you have specific concerns.
