Because of his horrific childhood he keeps the memories related to his childhood locked away, which is not really helpful at all. He has a feeling he knows her but he cannot remember it.

When they meet at the clinic even though he is nervous, he is attracted to her. The events caused by his misplaced trust leads him to the clinic where Poppy works.

In the hopes of having someone he can trust in his life, he shares his past with Tash, which she ends up using it to manipulate and hurt him more. Even though he doesn’t think he deserves it, he wants to have the same stability in his life. He envies the serious and stable relationships his teammates Alex, Miller and Randy have. He also doesn’t believe he deserves anything good because of the guilt he is carrying since he was eleven years old. He has a lot of trust issues because the people that supposed to love and protected him, only neglected and abused him. Deep down Lance is sweet and has a good soul but he is really broken, vulnerable and insecure. OMG! After reading the book and realizing how toxic she was for Lance, I am really glad it wasn’t her. Tash, the team’s ex-physical therapist and at some point was hoping she was his happily ever after. I was always curious about his relationship with Natasha, a.k.a. Through out the series, we all read about Lance ‘Romance’ Romero and know all about his reputation as a manwhore. She works as a massage therapists and that is how Lance comes back into her life. Poppy is beautiful, sweet, smart, and generous. It is the most emotionally and the heartbreaking story of the series.ĭo you remember the girl from ‘Pucked Up’ who rubbed off the dick on Miller’s forehead, went to grade school with Lance and was stuck in a closet for seven minutes with Lance when she was twelve years old? She is our heroine Poppy O’Connor. While the rest of the series was light hearted and full of funny moments, ‘Pucked Off’ is different. If you read the ‘Pucked’ series you all know who Lance Romero is and probably can remember Poppy too. It is one of the best sport romance series I ever read. So ‘Pucked Off’ is the fifth book of the ‘Pucked’ series. I hope my review can make justice to the book and I don’t give away much and ruin the story for you.

At the end, I didn’t sleep at all but it was totally worth it. Yeah I know I sound like a psycho but I couldn’t help myself, I had to read it and couldn’t wait any longer.
