How The Puck Boys of Brooks University Began
Hanna Gray, a Maine-based author with a passion for contemporary romance, launched The Puck Boys of Brooks University in 2023 with her debut novel, Puck Boy. Inspired by her love for character-driven stories and the electric energy of college sports, Gray crafted a series set in the fictional Brooks University, a hub of hockey culture. Her goal was to create relatable, flawed characters who find love while overcoming personal struggles, all wrapped in the excitement of the rink. Gray’s knack for blending humor, heart, and heat has made the series a standout in the new adult romance genre.
The Heart of The Puck Boys of Brooks University
The series kicks off with Puck Boy, where single mom Addison LaConte, wary of hockey players after a painful past, meets Cam Hardy, a charming playboy devoted to the sport. Their one-night stand sparks a transformative journey of trust and love, complicated by her father’s strict no-dating rule for his team. Chosen Boy, the fourth book, delivers an enemies-to-lovers tale as Sutton Savage and Hunter Thompson, tied by a family feud, fake a relationship for a charity event, only to discover real feelings. Filthy Boy follows Brody and Bria, two souls with troubled pasts who evolve from friends-with-benefits to something deeper, while Lost Boy tackles heavier themes like addiction through Cade and Haley’s emotional friends-to-lovers story.
Gray’s novels shine with themes of redemption, self-discovery, and the power of connection. The Michigan-inspired setting, with its icy rinks and tight-knit college community, grounds the stories in a vivid, relatable world. Tropes like forbidden romance, fake dating, and brother’s best friend add spice, while the dual POV narratives let readers feel every heartbeat and heartbreak.
