Pucked Up The Pucked Series Volume 2 Helena Hunting Books

I didn't write a review for the first in this series, Pucked, since so many great reviews said just what I wanted to - that it was a great book. I try not to have expectations of subsequent books in a series, since each should be unique in story and characters. Unlike the first book, which was told in both Alex and Violet's viewpoints, this book was told in only Miller's point of view. I am very thankful for this, it might have even saved the book somewhat for me, since I could not stand Sunny the entire book. I haven't read a more wishy-washy dumb heroine in a long while. She was written as a twenty-something masquerading as a 15 year old child. A brief reason for this was given at the very end, but not a satisfying one. The story was fraught with miscommunication and misunderstanding, a trope I am not overly fond of, making me almost abandon the story at 50% and skim the next few misunderstandings. What made me continue? Miller. And Miller and Violet's relationship. This is where Ms. Hunting's excellent writing shines through. For writing and those two characters I gave this 3 stars instead of the 2 I wanted to. I also liked Miller's slow movement toward improving himself, and wished I could have seen more of that. The relationship had no substance, almost where I wished Miller found someone more solid to love in the end. I was not feeling it. There were a few little feeders put out about other characters that will probably show up in other books of the series, Lily and Randy being the next, which I don't plan on reading. For those of you who read and enjoyed Pucked, there is a very slight cliffy for Alex and Violet in this book.

Pucked Up The Pucked Series Volume 2 Helena Hunting Books Reviews

Buck, the stepbrother from the first book stars in this book. He’s dating Sunshine, Alex’s sister, and things keep going wrong. Meaning, they keep having the same trust argument issues repeatedly, and, while it gets tiresome for Buck (or Miller) it also gets a bit tiresome as a reader, too. I admit to skimming a fair amount as the same things kept happening. Also, I wasn’t sure I really wanted to know the details of manscaping and hair trimming... yeah... too much personal grooming.

It’s not nearly as LMAO as the first book, but then, there’s no one like Violet, who is hilarious, and made the first book as funny as it was. Violet does play a large supporting role here, thankfully.

Sunshine had a natural fear of what her relationship with Buck was going to be - and it’s hard to keep in mind that she’s not even 21 years old, with overprotective family. That’s *young*. For that matter, so is Buck. Buck, it turns out, is a lot more sensitive and aware than Violet (in the first book) ever gave him credit for, so it was interesting to see him grow in this story.
I liked Violet and Alex's story so much that I had high hopes for Buck and Sunny's. However, almost immediately, there was something that didn't feel right/I didn't like about Sunny. I honestly think that the description of her in the beginning gave me the impression she wasn't right for him. I wasn't feeling their chemistry, but about 45% of the way in I actually got interested enough in the book to want to finish it. Although there were things that Buck could have done differently, I didn't like how Sunny reacted to situations, especially after the third or fourth time, and how he constantly had to reassure her throughout the story. They both had things to learn and growing up to do, but I was proud of him for breaking things off when he did, breaking the hamster wheel as it were. I realize that they are very young, and that is part of the drama. By the end I did enjoy their story more.
On a side note, does Violet have Tourettes Syndrome? I can almost dismiss her uncontrollable word vomit, but the seemingly uncontrollable pelvis thrusting when Randy is mentioned that she seems so embarrassed by is not normal, nor is it funny to me. I don't mean to take it so seriously, but it's so incredibly cringe-worthy and immature it was hard to get past. Although the author writes her characters in these books as young with things to learn, I find the women to be written as especially immature at times. I know they're young, but c'mon. However the stories are usually good, and the chemistry between the characters well-written for the most part.
Where to begin...okay. LOVED the first book. Like, my kids looked at me strangely for how hard I was laughing at times. Because of that, I was very excited to read Buck's book. And then I wasn't. To the point that I only read the first seven chapters. First of all, Ms. Hunting's decision to go from dual first POV in the first book to a singular first person was extremely annoying. I don't appreciate an author's inconsideration for their readers' preferences. Other people may like singular first person, but it's not for me. And had I started the first book, only to see that was the case, I wouldn't have read on and become engrossed in the overall storyline. So that's the first disappointment.

Second, is that their chemistry is a joke. Buck has more chemistry with his stepsister, Violet, than he does with Sunny. I'm not even kidding. The first few chapters had him interacting with a couple other women and I swear he had more chemistry with them than he did with the woman he's supposed to suddenly be celibate for. It made zero sense.

I'll give the next book a peek to see what the POV is, but I'm a bit turned off from not being able to enjoy the full series.
