Pucking Wild is the second book in Emily Rath’s Jacksonville Rays series. It’s a spicy romance with witty banter and big found family vibes. We see quite a bit of Rachel, Jake, Caleb and Ilmari from the first book in this story that features Tess and Ryan. 

First of all, Tess and I share the exact same sentiments about the beach and the sand and sunburn (it all sucks). Redheads unite! 

Second of all, I absolutely hate Tess’s ex and his character made me want to chuck my phone across the room while listening. 

Thirdly, this could’ve been a five star if Ryan’s nickname hadn’t been “Puppy.”  *Sigh*

The narrators are great. They are Amy Hall and Alex Kydd, two of the same narrators from the first book. I just don’t love audiobooks when the guy also does a girl’s voice during his chapters, and vice versa. Other than that, it was a perfect fit for the book. 

I cannot wait for Poppy’s story after the, ahem, glimpse of her situation in this book.
