Puck Buddies Books in Order

The Puck Buddies books are Brown's lighter, funnier side. These are interconnected hockey romances full of wealthy families, ambitious young adults, players with egos, and heroines who are usually smarter than the people underestimating them. The first book pairs Sami Ford and Matt Brimley, two people who would make perfect sense together if they did not annoy each other so much.

That enemies-to-lovers spark sets the tone well.

As the series goes on, Brown keeps shifting focus to different couples in the same orbit. Hockey remains part of the appeal, but these are not sports books in the heavy locker-room sense. They are relationship books built around the pressure of expectation. Family sacrifice, career choices, money, image, and the fear of wanting the wrong thing all keep showing up.

One reason the series works as a binge is that the characters keep overlapping. What begins as a romance between two people becomes a friend-group world, with weddings, pregnancies, job changes, breakups, and personal reinventions rippling through later books. That gives Bed Buddies, Girl Next Door, and Baby Daddies more emotional payoff than they would have as isolated standalones.

The tone is mostly playful, but Brown does not make everything weightless. Grief, family obligation, and life-changing secrets still land. She just lets the books stay warm and funny even when the characters are dealing with bigger messes.

If you want a break from her darker paranormal or dystopian work, this is a great place to go. Read these for banter, hockey-adjacent glamour, accidental roommates, destination-wedding chaos, and the reliable pleasure of watching people fall in love while insisting that absolutely is not what is happening.
