Absolutely Pucked: Punk as Puck, Book 3

This is the book where all of the loose ends from the previous books are wrapped up. Killian, a broken man who’s lost everything, is homeless, jobless, and living out of his car. He’s driven from the West Coast to the East Coast hoping to reconcile with his twin brother, Tucker (from Book 1) and hooks up with his brother’s bff Ford at a local bar outside of town. Ford is clueless, although there is something familiar about the bushy bearded ‘mountain man’ he meets in a bar. Weeks later, that man appears on his doorstep, clean shaven, and Ford realises that this is the ONE man who is off limits, knowing Tucker would be gutted that he was falling for his estranged twin. The blind goblin twins, Jonah and Micah, play a significant role in this book, as does Nugget, Ford’s kitten. Pillow Forts also make another appearance as Killian woos Ford. It’s heartwarmingly sweet! Get ready for angsty encounters between the two brothers as they reconcile because of their one common denominator: their love for Ford. This was my favourite of the three books. There is plenty of humour and we finally get the true story of why Ford call his prosthetic ‘Carol Ann’ and the truth about how he came to lose his leg.

This is the third book in E.M Lindsey’s Punk as Puck series. I suspected that Killian would be Ford’s love interest in this book while reading the second book in the series. I was curious how Lindsey was going to make it work, let alone find a way for readers to actually like Killian. Ford finding his forever love and experiencing Killian’s redemption arc is a worthwhile read in this book. Killian and Ford meet and hook up before Ford realizes who Ian is. Killian’s life is falling apart, and Ford doesn’t have it in himself to abandon Killian when he shows up on his doorstep a month after their impromptu rendezvous. Ford is able to open up to Killian in ways that he hasn’t even done with Tucker and Boden, but he knows just how high stakes this entanglement with Tucker’s twin is, and what it may cost everyone. Nonetheless, there is an undeniable pull between Ford and Killian. They have a deep and meaningful connection. Their chemistry is top tier too. There’s a few things that need to be cleared up in this installment. It’s a testament to the bond that Ford, Tucker, and Boden have that they are able to work through this unanticipated conflict. Ford deserves every good thing and by the end of the book, I was convinced that Killian deserves a happy ending as well. It was lovely to see the brothers work towards mending their relationship. There was growth in this novel. Lindsey wraps the series up well. It was great seeing Jonah in this story again as well. I’m looking forward…

Aww ford 🥰 love a good comeback! Ford has the biggest heart and cares very deeply about his friends. Love interest came such a long way in growing up and taking responsibility. This happily ever after touched on every single one of my heart strings 💞

This is the first time that I had read or on that series focus on characters with disabilities. I loved all of these characters so much and appreciate the representation. I am able-bodied but I have dated a wheelchair user before. He was on a wheelchair basketball team. I would love to see more and more diverse representations of every kind if person that's out there in the world. Besides all of that, I just cried my eyes out during all of the tough conversations these wonderful characters had. I wish that there had been more positive female characters depicted (most of them were pretty awful but Amedeo's sister is great, at least), but this is an M/M series, after all. Looking forward to the spin-off series!

When EM announced that Killian was getting his own story, I was skeptical... In Tucker's book we got his firsthand account of exactly what and who tore those twins apart, and seeing as how much damage was done, I honestly didn't think he could be redeemed. But, I am happy to say I was wrong, and EM was right. Killian and Ford's journey is not an easy one, they both are facing big life changes, inner turmoil, loss, trauma, and just trying to find a way to live and be happy. Their story is full of angst and if you're not a fan of angst and trauma being discussed, then this couple may not be the one for you. However, if you do like those things listed above, then please give Killian and Ford a chance. As someone who didn't think anything could make me like Killian, this book, and these characters, changed my mind. I liked how their relationship was drawn out in such a nice way, their relationship didn't feel rushed or forced, and it wasn't too drawn out either. Yes, there was angst but it was incorporated into the plot so seamlessly that it enhanced the storyline and the characters. I also really enjoyed how certain characters made frequent appearances throughout this book, I love seeing past characters and this book had that in spades. I think this story did a really good job of showing that there's two sides to every story, and that people can multiple chances if given a proper reason to have earned them. People make mistakes, it's part of being human, and this book really…
