Helena Hunting
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new story in her Pucked series. The untold story of Skye and Sidney, and the origin story where Vi and Miller are teens when their parents start dating and fall in love...
I accidentally grabbed the wrong drink at the coffee shop. On the upside, the hot guy it belonged to chased me down to kindly swap with me. On the down side, the reason I grabbed the wrong drink in the first place is because the hot guy had just caught me checking out his ass…sets.
In my defense, his rear view is rather magnificent.
In true, humiliating form, I word-vomited a bunch of horrible nonsense. Including an unnecessary explanation of the trauma I’d evaded thanks to his chasing me down. Nothing could ruin my lactose-intolerant day faster than my one true nemesis: dairy.
I did not expect him to ask me out on a date after that.
I also didn’t expect the date to go well since my tendency to truth-vomit is high, and not everyone finds that quality endearing.
But apparently he does. Because he asks me out again.
And again.
Sidney Butterson (yes, it’s a weird last name) ticks all my boxes.
He's smart, he's funny, he's employed and he's ridiculously hot.
There’s one catch.
We’re both single parents. With teens.
And if our kids don’t like each other?
Well, we’re doomed.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

This novella can be read without having read the Pucked series, in fact it's a great place to begin if you are new to Helena Hunting. That's one of the best things about the stories from 1001 Dark Nights & Blue Box Press, you get to try on a new author and discover a new world to dive into.
Stellar narration from Joe Arden and Erin Mallon, two of my all time favorite narrators.
Fun Novella

This book is the prequel to all of the Pucked series. This is one of the first relationships- Sidney and Skye. This is also the story of when Vi and Miller/Buck are teens (We also get a glimpse at Randy's life)
When Sidney Butterson grabbed the wrong drink at the coffee shop, it was a stroke of good luck. He had been eyeing the beautiful woman he kept seeing in here for weeks. This would give him an opportunity to talk to her! But when he caught up to her on the street, she incoherently told me no and to back off. But I was persistent.
Skye- After my truth vomit on the street corner, I was sure I would never hear from Sidney ever again, but we ended up on a date, and I'm glad he didn't stop hounding me, because he is everything I could have wanted in a partner and more!
Both Sidney and Skye are single parents to teenagers in high school, which makes dating a thousand times harder. It makes having alone time almost impossible! And in true Helena form, she makes all encounters sweet, but hilariously awkward.
I always walk away from Helena's books with a smile on my face, and the best quotes to share with my friends on IG on why they should read it! This one was no exception! I loved everything about this book, and I can't wait to add it to the rotation of books I read over and over!
Joe and Erin are fantastic again!
