A hockey-playing prince, a most improper lady, and one accidental pregnancy…

When you’re an heir so spare that you’re more likely to be struck by lightning than to ever wear a crown, you’re allowed certain liberties.

But after taking those liberties with the wrong lady, I’ve been banished to America for a year. The world thinks it’s so I can indulge in my favorite pastime on a professional hockey rink, but really, I’m here while my father cleans up my latest mess.

My orders are clear: be an ambassador for my country, make the family proud, and stay far, far away from women.

No one ever said they had to stay away from me though.

Which is exactly how Gracie Diamonte, the world’s greatest baker, most adorable dinosaur-suit wearer, and the very model of kind innocence, sneaks past my defenses.

And my guard.

And how we end up facing a very unexpected pregnancy.

Of course I’ll stand by her while we navigate our newly entwined futures.

Just as soon as I solve that pesky problem of my other royal duties.

Royally Pucked is a hilariously wrong romance between a spare heir and the lady least likely to ever wear a princess crown, complete with dirty cookies, an emotional support monkey, and lots of pucking around. This romantic comedy stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers and ends happily with a family of…more than two

When she’s not writing romantic comedies, she’s fumbling through being a mom, wife, and mountain woman, and sometimes tries to find hobbies. Her crowning achievement? Having impeccable timing for telling stories that will make people snort beverages out of their noses. Consider yourself warned.

This story has heart and humour.

Reviewed in Australia on 22 February 2019

Pippa Grant has done it again - written a book with a great sense of humour. I loved this book because of the humour in the story. Manning Frey is a Prince and a spare. He is also an ice hockey player and a good one at that. He has also been betrothed since he could walk. Most importantly he falls in love with a girl from a small southern town in the USA. A beautiful, funny story that should be read by one and all.

What a great fun read this book is you can certainly see ...

Reviewed in Australia on 5 April 2018

What a great fun read this book is you can certainly see Ms Grant’s sense of humour flow through. We meet Manning Frey who is a real life Prince, he’s been asked to leave his home country to go to the US and play hockey to help clean up his image. He has been “promised” to a girl in marriage, but neither he or the girl is very impressed with the idea. There’s a bit of blackmail and twists and turns to make them get married. We also get to catch up with other friends we made in The Pilot and the PuckUp, Zeus and Joey, and Ares and also Joey’s sister Gracie. Gracie owns the local bakery in Goat Tit (oh god I love that name). To help her earn extra money she makes “naughty cookies” (and yes I love the names used for those cookies in the book). There is a lot of sexual tension between Manning and Gracie. There is an unexpected pregnancy. What will happen with this???? Will the love between Manning and Gracie work??? Will Manning have to marry the girl he’s been promised to???? Twists, turns and lots of laughter. And I must say I loved Loki….. Another fun read by Ms Grant that I enjoyed.

Another funny read from Pippa Grant.

Reviewed in Australia on 6 April 2018

Pippa Grant is a nutcase. She must be. How else can does she come up with these hilarious characters who make you laugh but are also so endearing? I don’t know what her secret is, but I hope she continues because her books always bring a smile to my face and snorts of laughter emerging from me.

In Royally Pucked, Manning Frey is a ne’er-do-well prince who is banished to the US after his latest indiscretion. He crosses paths with Gracie Diamonte, an innocent small town girl and baker of naughty cookies. There are horizontal shenanigans and real feelings between the two but there’s also those other pesky life details. In Manning’s case, a fiancée he is trying to get rid of. And in Gracie’s, a growing business she is trying to keep on the down-low.

Manning and Gracie were great characters. Sure, they provide plenty of comedy but underneath, they are genuine people trying to do their best when faced with life hurdles.

In addition to the appearance of characters from previous books, we are also introduced to several characters in the town of Goat’s Tit. Yes, Goat’s Tit. And yes, these people are definitely “characters”.

I know I sound like a broken record, but it’s true. If you’re after a funny and light-hearted read, Pippa Grant’s your woman.

Highly entertaining read

Reviewed in Australia on 17 September 2018

Never a dull moment in this book series by Pippa Grant. Am frequently laughing so hard I am crying with all the crazy hijinx of this gang. Gracie is so beautiful and kind hearted, it was great to see her finally get her Prince. And who wouldn’t love Manning. Good riddance to Elin though

Reviewed in Australia on 2 February 2019

Fantastic series, great writing and characters. If you like Rom coms that don't take themselves too serious, make you laugh out loud and have the perfect amount of swoon to giggle ratio then this one's for you.

Reviewed in Australia on 14 April 2019

This is a fun read, I'm enjoying this series so far. How Manning & Gracie end up together whilst seeming to be opposites and overcoming big obstacles is cute. With some funny snark & sexy times along the way

One more great read by Pippa Grant

Reviewed in France on 6 April 2018

After The Pilot and The Puck-Up, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Pippa Grant.
Why this book is a so very good surprise. I loved it was so different from the previous story. Of course, all the characters we love are back. This is still a rom-com but in a different way than Joey and Zeus crazy story.
This read is the perfect feel-good book, I smiled and laughed with Gracie and Manning. Even if their road to love is not a smooth and straight one, there is no crazy angst nor ugly breakup. They are enough smart to adult their acts, even trying to protect the other making sometime wrong decisions, there is no shouts nor roarings.
Manning and Gracie are two very touching persons, they have their flaws but they care for the others.
Gracie does not see as princess’ material but she would do anything in the name of love.
Manning tries to fit in his royal duties but he can’t give up Gracie in the name of his country.
They are a perfect match, beyond their chemistry under the sheets, Manning can be himself with Gracie as she expects nothing from him except being loved.
There is a lot of tenderness in this story, less laugh-out-loud moments but many many sweet scenes showing how much everyones care for the others, a great read of acceptance whomever you are.

Manning Frey is a Prince in the country of Stolland, a small country located in Scandinavia. But, as he says, he's the expendable kind of prince - he is fourth in line to inherit behind his 2 older brothers and his eldest brother's son. Not that he cares - he is not king material, though the role is largely ceremonial these days anyway. After a small incident involving the Prime Minister's daughter (it was just a friendly kiss), Manning has been "exiled" to the United States for a year under the guise of joining the NHL to promote tourism in Stolland. And so far, he has no complaints. His teammates are great guys; he loves playing hockey; and America has definitely embraced him. Well, there is one complaint... he has to have a security detail follow him around, not so much for security purposes but to keep him in line as his father has warned him: no more scandals, especially with his upcoming nuptials. Yep. Manning is to be married... but not to a lady of his choosing: to a woman he cannot stand who only wants him for his title. When he was a child, Manning's grandfather betrothed him to the daughter of an earl, and he has yet to find the escape clause.

Gracie Diamonte makes pornographic cookies. Yes, she does. She puts random people's genitalia on cookies and sends them all over the country, thanks to Etsy and a joke that went a little too far. But no matter, it pays the bills and keeps her little bakery in Goat's Tit, Alabama afloat. Not that anyone there knows about her little side hustle; otherwise, they'd probably stage an intervention involving holy water to save her soul. But Gracie's simple life is turned upside down after realizing the dream so many girls have: she got it on with a prince! But even though they used protection, Manning Frey must be carrying around some extra potent swimmers bc one time and BAM - she's pregnant. This is not how Gracie saw her life going, but it is what it is, and she has decided to rock single motherhood. The prince deserves to know he is going to be a father, though, so she treks to the big city for a surprise visit to break the news.

Manning is stunned. The one time he was able to shake his security detail for a few minutes (which gave him the opportunity to have explosive relations with the woman that had been on his mind since he first met her) resulted in a pregnancy?! Though his shock quickly changes to interest... in both being involved in his child's life AND spending more time with the enchanting Gracie. But since he has no way to get out of his marriage contract, is there any possibility of having the chance to do either? And since when does a woman NOT want anything to do with a prince like Gracie seems to? Is there any chance for a simple country girl and a polished prince to have a future together? But the bigger issue is... what the hell is up with the support monkey roaming around his apartment?!

What I liked:
--- The sense of humor in Grant's books shines through in this one again - several moments had me doubled over
--- I loved Manning's character
--- More time with Ares!
--- Steamy goodness! (Starts with a quick bang - literally - but then shifts to somewhat of a slow burn but worth it)
--- 2 words: support monkey

What I didn't like as much:
--- Some inconsistencies with characters (Gracie was kind of all over the place at times)
--- The match of these two was a little off the wall - it was hard to see why they were actually attracted to each other (Gracie was a constant hot mess; Manning was the epitome of cool & collected 98% of the time); I guess it goes toward the "opposites attract" element, but I didn't really get a solid sense of why they were a thing

Overall, another cute story with unforgettable characters, plenty of humor, and steamy goodness! I am very much looking forward to Ares's story coming up next.

Plot --- 3.5/5
Main Characters --- 4/5
Supporting Cast --- 4/5
Steam Level* --- 3.5/5
Violence --- none I can recall
Language --- yes
POV --- Dual

*Note that steam level is not a rating so much as a how hot was it: 0/5 - clean; 1/5 - mild (nothing descriptive); 2/5 - 3rd base action/1 home run; 3/5 - now we're getting somewhere (a couple of full-on steamy scenes); 4/5 - yes please! (erotica territory); 5/5 - they did EVERYTHING in this one, y'all
