Sometimes a book comes along thay just brings you an immense amount of joy: and Puck & Prejudice is exactly that for me. 

The second I heard “hockey player time travels to Regency England,” I knew I wanted to read this, and when I opened it up and saw the dedication to a BTS member (💜), I knew it was going to be exactly the balm I needed. 

The story follows Tucker Taylor, an NHL goalie who finds himself transported to the 1800s while visiting his Jane Austen-obsessed sister in Bath, and Lizzy Wooddash, a friend of Jane’s with her own writing aspirations and burning desire for independence. After discovering Tucker emerging from a pond (😏) and quickly accepting he is a time traveler, Lizzy agrees to help him get back to his time. But then Jane and Lizzy’s cousin throw in a kicker – Tucker has to marry Lizzy so that once he disappears, she can be a “widow” and thus have her freedom. 

It’s an incredibly fun and deeply feminist story with a whole lot of heart and some pungent spice – and it’s obvious that Lia Riley had the absolute best time writing this. 

So if you’re in the need of something a little bit silly but in the way that feels like the best kind of comfort romcom (and who among us isn’t?), definitely pick up Puck & Prejudice.💜
