The Pilot and the Puck-Up

[Canadian Girl Book Blog]

The Pilot & the Puck-Up is a standalone, one-night stand, virgin romantic comedy that is told in the first-person point of view of Zeus and Joey.

Joey (Josephine, aka Fireball) is a pilot who co-owns her own company, Weightless, with her partner Peach, that takes people on plane rides that allow them to feel like they are in space. She is a no-nonsense, former military woman who is usually thought of as one of the guys. Joey goes to a charity golf tournament to hope to schmooze with the rich and famous with hopes to get them to invest in Weightless. Joey did not expect to have to deal with an ogre in a pink dress that woke up all of her lady parts.

Zeus is a professional hockey player known as The Brute while his twin brother Ares is known as The Force. Zeus is a huge man who is feared on the ice and known as a joker off the ice. Most people take him at face value and women want to be with him because of who he is but when he meets Fireball she changes everything in him. Zeus is determined to spend time with her and every time they seem to get some alone time something goes wrong. Jupiter explodes, a spider hangs from the roof of the golf cart which Zeus sends flying into the lake, etc.

Zeus and Joey were so fun to read about. Their connection and mishaps were so fun to read about. The Pilot & the Puck-Up had everything from laughter to romantic, swoony points. Not many people understood both Zeus and Joey but the understood each other which made them such a great couple to watch grow together. I can not wait to dive into the next Pippa Grant novel to continue following this group of family and friends.
