Our latest superstar is my newest problem.
Until I meet his
mother…
Chicago Ravens captain Ledger Cole believes in earning
your stripes, not coasting on golden boy status. So when Austin Hart becomes the NHL’s
youngest signee, Ledger is determined to give him a pretty steep learning
curve.
Auburn Hart is barely clinging onto her son’s meteoric rise to stardom.
Uprooted to a new city, a new job (working in a coffee shop in your thirties is
fiiine, right?) and being forced to keep an eye on Austin’s troublemaking
tendencies is…a lot.
When loneliness and chance create the perfect hookup,
neither Auburn nor Ledger realizes their awkward real-life connection — until the truth
spills out. But with more than one career at stake, and Auburn’s scars hovering at the door,
they can’t just follow this irresistible pull. Can they?
Your Pucking Mother is a dual POV hockey romance for fans of Becka Mack.
There are organizations in this book that don’t exist in today’s world, so because this is a work of fiction, we can safely assume some ideas are stretched to fit our imagination.
TW: sexual assault/rape of FMC while she was a minor, by a minor (both are sixteen) (recounted from a memory in the past, first person, not by MMC), the SA can be read past and is italicized on the page, narcissistic parent, alcohol use, teen parenting struggles, using objects for sexual pleasure, and degradation/praise.
This book touches on some personal subjects that may be hard for many to read. Please take care of your mental health and read the Author’s Note before this prior to reading this book.
With that said, everyone copes with trauma and their mental health in their own unique way. As you read this book, please keep an open mind, as learning to live with your trauma may look different for one person than it does the next. Just because someone’s journey doesn’t mirror your own, doesn’t mean it’s incorrect.
They say we write a piece of ourselves into our characters. Auburn reflects my own experiences with trauma. She’s timid, shy, and uncertain about her actions, yet still hopes to be open to love. She may not fit the typical image of a trauma survivor, but that’s what makes her unique and special to me. When someone experiences trauma, they often don’t remember important details like names, faces, or events. In this case, Auburn struggles to remember certain details, but instead of leaving them out, I’ve used strikethrough on the text as well as Xs on the name. This is a representation of her brain knowing what happened but striking it from her memory.
Thank you for being here. I appreciate your willingness to go on Auburn’s journey with her.
