Review: 

As a follow-up to the main books, these two volumes of short stories are an absolute delight. Packed with sharp, witty banter and a chaotic energy that keeps the pages turning, they offer readers a whirlwind of emotions in bite-sized narratives. 

The multiple POVs from both Pucking Around and Pucking Wild bring depth and variety, allowing glimpses into the lives and thoughts of the beloved characters while keeping the storytelling dynamic and engaging.

These short stories are perfect for fans of the previous books, offering a mix of humor, heat, and heartfelt moments that expand on the world and relationships established earlier. They’re also a must-read for those who enjoyed the first installment of the series, an MMMF steamy romance that introduced this intriguing universe of messy, passionate, and unforgettable characters.

With their fast-paced, playful tone, these volumes feel like a love letter to readers who’ve grown attached to the series’ unique blend of steam, drama, and humor. If you’re craving more of the banter, chaos, and emotional depth that made the earlier books so captivating, these stories won’t disappoint.

Volume 2 includes: Dark Devil (Karaoke night), Turks and Caicos (Tess/Ryan), Waiting Part 1 (Tess), Waiting Part 2 (Ryan), No Exit, and The Dentist parts 1-2 with Mars and Caleb.
