Synopsis

Two men who need a second chance. Could she be the sunshine who lights their dark days?

I’ve fallen for my best friend’s father. He’s a sexy silver fox who needs a second chance at love. Impossible to stay away from, right? And when he praises me in that deep voice, I melt. I want him to be my first.

I wasn’t expecting Alec. He’s the gorgeous, tattooed, grumpy bad boy of the NHL. Tensions are running high with his team. His reputation and career are hanging by a thread. He needs to focus on hockey. I need to stay away. But with chemistry as electric as ours, it’s impossible.

I shouldn’t fall for either man, never mind both. But I can’t resist them. And I think they’re falling for each other too.

If only we weren’t doomed from the start.

Sweet as Puck is a steamy hockey bi-awakening, age gap, why choose MMF romance. It features a curvy girl who’s never been kissed, a silver fox who falls first, and a disgraced hockey star seeking redemption.

Content Warning: This book deals with past loss of loved ones and cheating (not the main characters).

About the Author

By day Ann Grech used to live in the corporate world and could be found sitting behind a desk typing away at reports and papers or lecturing to a room full of students. She graduated with a PhD in 2016 and is now an over-qualified nerd. But the grind got old, and the voices got louder. She still has the librarian look nailed, but she’s a little freer to be herself now.

She’s never entirely fit in and loves escaping into a book—whether it’s reading or writing one. But she’s found her tribe and loves her book world family. She dislikes cooking, but loves eating, can’t figure out technology, but is addicted to it, and her guilty pleasure is Byron Bay Cookies. Oh and shoes. And lingerie. And maybe handbags too. Well, if we’re being honest, we’d probably have to add her library too given the state of her credit card every month (what can she say, she’s a bookworm at heart)!

In 2019 she was an Award-Winning Finalist in the Fiction: LGBTQ category of the 2019 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest for her story In Safe Arms.



She also publishes her raunchier short stories under her pen name, Olive Hiscock.
