Description:
The good news is I was recently named head coach of the Portsmouth Whalers hockey team, the youngest coach in the NHL for their newest expansion team.
The bad news? Brace yourself. I wish I had when I found out my half-brother just took his life. When I got up off the floor I also found out he left me with a mountain of debt— and his baby daughter.
Even though my Aunt Hildie promises to come live with me in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to help me take care of the kid, she won't be coming until after her hip surgery.
The I show up on the first day of pre-season training camp in a dented up old Jeep with a stroller full of trouble.
Lucky for me--and luckier for the kid--the sister of one of my players is at the rink and she offers to help me out.
She's a little young and a little crazy, but It’s only for a month. What could go wrong?
She’s laid-back. and I'm an in-charge type.
( I'm grumpy and she's sunshine.)
She loves kids and I don’t know what to do with the little girl.
She teaches me.
My girlfriend objects…

Review: The Big Puck by Stephanie Queen
Book 1 in the Portsmouth Whalers series
The Big Puck kicks off the Portsmouth Whalers series with a heartwarming and trope-filled sports romance.
After adopting his infant niece, Krissy, Spencer Logan returns to his hometown to take a temporary coaching job with the Whalers. His goal? Secure the permanent position to give his new family some much-needed stability. But with a baby to care for, he also needs a live-in nanny.
Enter Laine Hall—the younger sister of Spencer's star player, Jason. When she offers to help, Spencer agrees before fully thinking it through. It’s not the smartest idea: she's his player’s sister, much younger, and he’s technically her boss. Still, the chemistry is undeniable, even as they both try to resist the pull until the end of the season.
This book is packed with fan-favorite tropes: age gap, grumpy/sunshine, single dad, forced proximity, boss/employee—and even a touch of forbidden romance. It’s a slow-burn with minimal spice, but totally worth the wait.
I especially loved the contrast between the leads. Spencer is serious and guarded, while Laine is vibrant, sassy, and full of life. She totally stole the show for me—especially during her birthday scene, which was a standout moment.
If you're a fan of sports romance with heart, humor, and just the right amount of tension, The Big Puck is a must-read.
