Puck and Prejudice

By: Riley, Lia

From the author of Mister Hockey comes a sizzling marriage of convenience romance between a pro hockey player who accidentally travels back in time to Regency Era England and the brazen contemporary of Jane Austen he just can't help but fall for...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a modern single man in possession of a hockey jersey may be exactly what a Regency woman needs to avoid the shackles of marriage...

Goalie for the Austin Regals, Tucker Taylor is benched due to health issues. So he decides to visit his sister in England. But an accidental plunge into an icy pond thrusts him back to 1812 where he comes face to face with a captivating blue-eyed woman who regards him as if he's grown two heads.

Lizzy Wooddash dreams of a life surrounded by books, engaging conversation, the presence of literary icons like Jane Austen, and... nary a husband in sight. But in Regency England, only widows like her cousin Georgie enjoy freedom and solitary pursuits, unencumbered by expectations. The only way to quickly become a widow is by marrying a dying man or killing a perfectly healthy one, neither of which Lizzy desires.

A visitor from the future might just be the husband of her dreams. Once married, they can figure out how to return Tucker to his proper time, and his absence--aka death--will make Lizzy the widow she always dreamed of becoming. Yet as sparks ignite, they soon realize that matters of the heart rarely adhere to carefully laid plans. Can their love stand the test of time, or will Lizzy get exactly what she wanted...as well as a broken heart?

Customer Reviews

hockey + regency romance = really good!

Tuck just got into a car accident. And somehow he woke up in the year 1812. Good thing Elizabeth was there to help him. With Tuck by her side, this could be the perfect plan to create her perfect widow life. A fake marriage is in order, and Tuck would be happy to help her too. This book was too bizarre not to try. A hockey romance and a regency romance? I already love the complicated-ness of it all! And I'm not going to lie, I do like the sci-fi-ness of it all. For me, it checks out, and I actually figured out how the book might end. Storywise, I really like how Tuck and Lizzie got close. It has a slow burn element to the point that I didn't notice that they started to like each other but so cute nonetheless. I like how they just understand each other, and they compliment each other as well. The other characters are interesting as well. Though we get to meet them, we get to learn about them mostly by word of mouth from the main characters. However, huge props to Georgie and Jane. Overall. good book. Nothing crazy amazing, but this was sweet and thoughtful. * I received an eARC of this book.
