This was fun. I think it would have been even better if I a had actually read or watched the source material, but it was such a fun time!

Initial thoughts review:
Obsessed. Perfect mix of forced proximity, sports romance, and historical romance. Smiled the entire time.

Full review:
Thanks, Avon, for the arc!

When you set life aside, just let the joy overtake you as you read. Ultimately, you end up smiling nonstop, becoming obsessed, and can’t stop thinking about PUCK AND PREJUDICE. All I want to do is reread it. I keep talking about it to anyone who will listen. It’s my new favorite marriage of convenience historical fiction and time-traveling sports romance. Lia Riley has written something extraordinary, and I cannot wait for everyone to fall in love with it like I have!

Get ready to swoon at the book blurb tagline: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a modern single man in possession of a hockey jersey may be exactly what a Regency woman needs to avoid the shackles of marriage... 😍

Modern hockey player Tucker Tayler and Lizzy Wooddash from 1812 are everything! My heart pines for them! Their banter. Their chemistry. Their boldness. It’s spectacular. Gah, I want to stop writing this review and just pick up the book again!

If you love sports romance, hockey romance, historical romance, time travel, marriages of convenience, forced proximity, excellent banter, Jane Austen 😉, “my wife,” or just being entertained, this book is for you! PUCK AND PREJUDICE rent-free constantly in my head, and I don’t mind. I want to relive Tucker and Lizzy’s romance until someone time-travels into a lake for me.

**Puck and Prejudice – 4 Stars**

A big thanks to Lia Riley, NetGalley, and HarperCollins Publishing for an advanced copy of *Puck and Prejudice*. I enjoyed this book a lot! The time travel aspect was interesting, and the way it was explained felt as believable as a time travel story could be. While I know some didn’t love the connection between a hockey player and 1812, I did! Maybe those people never fell in love with *The Root Cellar* as kids like I did.

I really liked the banter between the characters, and both Tuck and Lizzy were fantastic. Tuck was adorable and sweet, while Lizzy was strong and opinionated. I enjoy reading historical romance now and then, and I’m also a fan of sports romance, so this mashup of the two genres was a treat. Plus, it was funny and sweet, and Jane Austen?! Sign me up!

I’d definitely read this again and already know some friends who are going to love it once it’s released.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Austin travels to England to see his sister. He accidentally travels back in time to the 1800's. He meets a woman who he has feelings for. A good read.

This was a little different time travel. I found it a little humorous in places. The heroine was a determined young woman. The hero was a an athlete with a heart The ending is what makes this story interesting, but I wonder what happens if they have children. I enjoyed it.

I have received a copy of this arc from NetGalley for a honest review!

4/5 stars

This was my very first read by Lia Riley and it. definitely won't be the last. Her writing was great and the story she wrote about a hockey player Tuck who time travels to England where he meets Lizzy who I adore! The storyline and the overall book was fantastic and I have no problem recommending it to others looking for a sweet, well put together book containing the perfect amount of laughs and plot. It was a quick and easy read that I truly enjoyed!

Puck & Prejudice
⭐️⭐️⭐️.25 (3.25/5)

After a wild night out, Tucker finds himself in a time-traveling pickle when he accidentally drives his car into a frozen lake and emerges in the year 1812. Talk about a chilly surprise! And let's not forget about Elizabeth, who takes the whole situation surprisingly well. I mean, if it were me, I'd be freaking out!

But things get even more interesting when Jane Austen herself makes an appearance in the story. It's like literary magic come to life! Though, I must say, Tucker's cluelessness about Jane Austen was a bit odd. I mean, who doesn't know about the queen of romance novels?

As for the characters, Elizabeth stole the show with her independence and courage. She's not your average damsel in distress, that's for sure. Tucker, on the other hand, didn't quite click with me. Something about him just didn't sit right.

All in all it was a fun read, even if it wasn't quite what I expected. Who knew a late-night drive could lead to such a time-traveling adventure?

What do you get when an American professional hockey player falls through time and ends up in Regency England? A hilarious and charming juxtaposition!

Lizzy isn't happy with her lot in life. At 27, her mother won't stop pushing her to wed, when all she wants is the freedom to pursue her dream of being an author. Just like her friend, Jane. Yes. *That* Jane. When she happens upon a handsome, albeit oddly dressed, stranger crawling out of the sludgy lake near her cousin's estate, Lizzy feels a thrill thats unusual for her. A fake marriage, banter, spice, adventures (and mishaps) ensue which were all delightful.

Overall, I loved both Lizzy and Tuck and their chemistry together. This is a sweet, spicy read that is quick and easy - the perfect thing to pick up between longer series or emotionally heavy books.

I thought it was a smidge unbelievable how quickly Lizzy and crew believed that Tuck was from the future. However, I understand that was to move the plot along and keep the story from dragging.

The ending was a bit of a let down for me, but it still felt romantic and satisfactory. I just wanted MORE!

Its a 3.5 star read for me.

Fun read. Twist on Jane Austin era in modern day time by time travel. Spicy hot read! Get your Kleenex ready. Recommend. I was given an advanced reader copy of this book by NetGalley and I am freely sharing my review.

This book offers a fun and quirky twist on the time-travel romance genre, combining the charm of Regency England with the modern world of pro hockey. Tucker’s journey from the ice rink to Jane Austen’s era is full of humor and entertaining cultural clashes, while Lizzy’s independent spirit makes her a refreshing Regency heroine. However, the story sometimes felt a bit rushed, especially when it came to building deeper emotional connections between the characters. Still, if you're looking for a light, playful read with an unexpected mash-up of time periods, this romance will definitely keep you entertained!

Tucker, a pro hockey player, somehow has traveled back in time to Regency England while visiting family in England. There he meets a woman, Lizzy, but she prefers books and academic thought, and wants nothing to do with men or a husband. They devise a plan, however, that would benefit both of them: marry, and once they figure out how to return him to the present, then Lizzy can claim he died, become a widow, and be free. But a problem soon emerges when real feelings begin to develop.

This book has a lot of fun rolled into the book, with dashes of romance, history, and contemporary elements - such a delectable mix. I just loved the premise of this book, and the wackiness of it all is part of the overall appeal.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really like this book! Some things were not exactly accurate historically, but it was a really fun read. The characters were interesting and the story moved at a good pace. Most importantly, good humor and smut!

I tell you what, I’m a sucker for time travel romances and this one hit the nail on the head! Absolute praise for Lia Riley in writing this piece of art. Lizzy and Tuck’s story was just what I needed. This BOOK was just what I needed! You have a hot hockey hunk, a regency romance honey and the magical wonder of time travel. All the best things tied up in a nice and neat bow for you in this book. The blurb says it all so I’m just here to tell you that this one will definitely be worth every penny and every minute of your time. Wow.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the opportunity to review this book!

I received a copy of this arc for Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager in exchange for a fair and honest review

So if you go into this knowing it's just light fluff you should be set. Unfortunately it was too slow in some places and the spicy scenes were waaaaaaay way way way to open door for me. I mean forget the open door, this was like a no walls or barriers kind of spice. And I am just not into that at all. So if that is your jam then this book might be for you. But the low star rating was really because of the clunky storyline and I wasn't thrilled with the ending.

Super cute unique take on reimagining Jane’s famous characters! I loved the time travel aspect, which I tend to not enjoy. Very creative and an enjoyable reading experience.

Puck and Prejudice was short sweet and delicious and I am SO excited to add this book to my collection. I am a sucker for 3rd person POV and Lie Riley hit it out of the park. Tuck and Lizzie had great chemistry and I could read about them FOREVER! So excited to have this book in my grasp

3.5 stars!! Such a cute book and a fun concept! This version of time travel didn’t give me a headache and overcomplicate itself. The relationship was in a faster pace than a normal one would be which was expected but even from there it felt very go go go. I ended up loving the main relationship and how they communicated and solved their issues. Overall very solid and very fun book!

If you're looking for a book that's a fun departure from reality, then this is the book for you. I mean time travel, steamy romance, and Jane Austen, how can you go wrong?!

Puck and Prejudice is a one of a kind read. The characters are entertaining and the plot line, unique. Yes, this story was a bit over the top at times, but it truly was fun to get lost in.

I was so ready for this to be the most ridiculous book of the year.. and found my self absolutely enjoying it. Honestly a delightfully weird read that just WORKS

Such a cute book! I loved the differences in time and the bond between the main characters. A very easy read
