Wilder Puck is a steamy hockey romance that leans into the “best-friend turned more” trope with flair. The story follows Addie (often called “Baddie”) and Ryan Wilder, her best friend and the NHL goalie for the Seven Devils. Ryan admits that his past relationships have been very vanilla, and Addie offers a deal—friends with benefits, just to practice intimacy and get more bedroom experience. What starts as a casual “deal” gradually morphs as neither expects vanilla to feel this satisfying, especially when emotions and physical chemistry get involved.
The strength of the book lies largely in the characters and their teasing banter. Addie is lively and bold, unafraid to push boundaries, while Ryan carries the more classic “alpha hockey player” vibe, yet with enough warmth and vulnerability to make him likable. Their friendship foundation gives their growing attraction some believable grounding, and there are many moments of humor, tension, and flirtation. The story also builds emotional stakes—not just from wanting the relationship to mean more, but from fear, miscommunication, and the usual “will they admit what they feel” dance. While some of the conflict feels predictable (jealousy, assumptions, misunderstandings), the writing keeps things engaging enough that the reader wants Addie and Ryan to figure it out.
Where Wilder Puck shows both its charm and its limitations is in pacing and drama. The middle portion drags a bit with repeated back-and-forth between the characters, especially when it comes to admitting or clarifying their feelings. Some of Addie’s reactions can feel over-dramatic or inconsistent, which may frustrate readers who prefer their leads more stable. On the plus side, the ending delivers on a satisfying happily-ever-after; the tension resolves in a way that feels earned. Overall, if you enjoy sports romance with lots of heat, friendship-turned-more angst, and a strong sense of chemistry, Wilder Puck will hit the mark—even if there are moments where it leans heavily into trope territory.
