Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated The Perils Of Pauline in Books
Feb 21, 2018
NOTE **I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**
At first, I had a hard time relating to Pauline, an ex-military, hockey playing mom on her second marriage. I also had trouble feeling sorry for her since it seemed to me that most of Pauline's perils were, in fact, brought on by her own poor judgement. She grew on me, however, and I soon found myself hoping that everything would work out for her in the end. I couldn't help but laugh both with and at her. This was a quick, funny read that just might leave you thankful that you only have your own problems to worry about, and not Pauline's.

3.5 stars
This was cute but I missed out on the details in some of the ice scenes. The dance moves so I could look them up, the plays in hockey so I could do the same. We had a few mentioned during practise but I missed the thrill of competition, the build up to a win. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the book.
The romance was sweet, a sort of not-spoken-despite-going-to-same-school-for-years to having to work together and slowly falling for each other. I liked it despite me being used to more steamy romances.
A great book if you like gentle, contemporary, young adult romances.

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Pucked Love (Pucked #6) in Books
May 30, 2020
The final book in the series is the kinky but delightful story of the ice hockey team's quietest and restrained player Darren, and the equally secretive Charlene.
This delightful tale demonstrates that each individual loves very differently, that both in the relationship may not wish to unveil all their demons or air their skeletons in their closets, but things will always come out in the end.
Throughout the entire series we have seen these two individuals somewhat in the forefront, with hints of a match made in heaven, but nothing has ever been unveiled until now, and it comes with a non-disclosure agreement... what relationship comes with a NDA??
As with the previous novels, expect comedy, family, bad language and x-rated scenes.

Charlotte (184 KP) rated Hawk (Perfect Stats #3) in Books
Oct 5, 2021
Hot, sexy and hard to put down.
Hawk is exactly how I like my romance, hot, naughty and full of strong characters.
Not only is Hawk a hot ice hockey player but he's a kind hearted man with a love for blues and jazz. He loves Moe, the owner of Moe's, like a father, which is why discovering that he has a daughter is all the more of a surprise for him.
Lexington Waters is a strong, independent woman with an a*shole ex-husband. She consistently pushes herself forward, which I think is a big part of what Hawk finds attractive.
It's great to see a support network that not only has Hawks back but gladly steps in and accepts Lexington.

After the runaway success of the first Friday the 13th a mere year earlier, Part 2 is the first of many sequels spaffed out in a short space of time. The sequels are mostly ok, certainly watchable, with only a couple that I would say step into crappy territory.
Part 2 is one of the half decent ones, and for better or worse, I actually quietly love it.
Not too dissimilar to its predecessor, it's overflowing with over acting. This time around, the dialogue is pretty much balls awful and cheesy, but it's not enough to stop me from enjoying what is a damn fun horror sequel.
It set the stage for what slasher follow ups would become known for - more gore, more victims, more nudity, more silliness. It's just the way these things go and Friday the 13th Part 2 arguably introduced these sequel tropes to the world.
Of course, this is our first proper introduction to Jason, pre hockey mask, and I've always found Part 2 Jason to be quite intimidating. The hockey mask is undoubtedly iconic, and cemented Jason as a horror icon, but here he dons some dungarees and a potato sack over his face. There's something truly unsettling about a big dude in that get up, chasing people with a massive pick axe.
The closing moments of the movie boasts a memorable 'gotcha' moment once again, whilst showing off the decent make up and effects work, and a returning Harry Manfredini is present once again to provide a jarring music score.
Part 2 is trashy in parts but I can't help but love it. 💀
