ARC Review: Of Pucking Course by Sarah Smith

Publication Date: July 28, 2025

Sam and Dakota’s story in Of Pucking Course was everything! Having been introduced to these characters earlier in the Denver Bashers series, it was so satisfying to see their happy ending together. Sam has always been down so bad for Dakota, and it’s the depth of their friendship that makes this relationship so special. 

Seeing Dakota shift in personality from the person she was in her last relationship was so beautiful. Of Pucking Course is a great example of the power of having the right person there to cheer you on. These characters really bring out the best in each other and that tenderness is absolutely everything. 

I’m not sure I’ll ever be ready for this series to end!! I’m super excited to stay in touch with these characters through the next book, One Good Puck. Sarah Smith has never done wrong with a hockey romance, and I have all the confidence that Coach Porter’s story is going to once again be a fantastic read. 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
