About the author
Pippa Grant wanted to write books, so she did.
Before she became a USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling romantic comedy author, she was a young military spouse who got into writing as self-therapy. That happened around the time she discovered reading romance novels, and the two eventually merged into a career. Today, she has more than 30 knee-slapping Pippa Grant titles and nine published under the name Jamie Farrell.
When she’s not writing romantic comedies, she’s fumbling through being a mom, wife, and mountain woman, and sometimes tries to find hobbies. Her crowning achievement? Having impeccable timing for telling stories that will make people snort beverages out of their noses. Consider yourself warned.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2019Want to know the secret remedy for stress, aggravation or just sheer boredom? A Pippa Grant book. As much as I’d like to tell you that it doesn’t matter which Grant book you read, because they’re all zany, hilarious, sexy and heartfelt, this book somehow has more of everything. Between canine neuticles, the world's most awesome cow-dog, Johnson-Wankers, a Halloween party gone off the rails due to dueling phobias, epic apology gifts, and glitter, of course, there's never a dull moment. (FYI, with Grant it’s never simply “glitter,” but always “glitter, of course.”) And once again I find myself trying to explain to the hubs why I’m laughing hysterically and that, no, I’m not choking and I don’t need the hemlock. (Yes, we say “hemlock" in my family, thanks to my Malapropos-stricken uncle.)
Our pucking charming hero in this book is Nick, and along with being a prankster to rival the Burger twins he’s kind of a selfish butthead. He's also arrogant and adorable, cocky and charming, and egotistical and endearing. It’s enough to give a girl whiplash, but it's also no wonder Kami has been crushing on the infuriatingly endearing hockey goalie since high school. Veterinarian Kami is sweet and compassionate to all species (except clowns) and generally accepting and forgiving. But now that she and Nick have been friends with benefits for months and he forgets the one day of the year important to her, we find out that she has a not-so-sweet side. She's had enough of being nothing more than an afterthought to Nick, and she's done.
Amidst all the hilarity and pranks, this book has a surprising amount of heart. The bad-boy prankster gets quite the incentive to take a fresh look at himself and his life and discover who he is outside of hockey. The hole Kami leaves in his life shows him how his future life might look, and he doesn’t like what he sees, which prompts some well-thought apology gifts and a campaign to show Kami how he really feels about her. His legendary redemption is humorous, because you can’t take the prankster out of the hockey player, but it’s also heart felt, poignant and sweet, and enough to make any girl lose her heart. With appearances from some of our favorite Grant characters, cameos from Maria Luis’ Blades and Lili Valente's Badgers, a sweet but strong heroine, and a badly behaving hero you can’t help but love, this hilarious but heart-warming, swoony read is unequivocally 1-click worthy!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2024Thrusters stories are so good. Not only interesting, but funny. Pippa Grant is a great writer. As well as reading interesting entertainment,they are laugh-out -loud funny. You will enjoy this one about the trials and travails of Kami Oakley and Nick Murphy...the veterinarian and the hockey player.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024Lesson learned for sure. When Kami left him, Nick realized he hadn't wanted anyone else since the 8 months they were friends-with-benefits. She needed more than steamy sex. Crazy love story, lots of laughs, love and pranks!! Great supporting characters also, always good to revisit those from other books ! Thank you Pippa!! 5 stars!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020Charming as Puck is the fourth book in the Thrusters Hockey Series, but all of Ms. Grant’s books have cameos from previous books! Kami has loved Nick for forever, but when he forgets her birthday, she’s done. Wanting more for herself, she tries dating, but Nick is determined to win her back, not just because she’s his lucky charm, but because he can’t imagine his life without her. Will Nick get the chance to prove his love to Kami?
This book was so good, had my giggling, and I absolutely adored the relationship and connection that forms between Nick and Kami! I loved that this book was kind of low on the drama, but really focused on Nick and Kami’s relationship, his epic apology, with the added bonus of all of the Berger twins and their wives, throw in dashes of humor and love and heart warming scenes, and you have a truly amazing book. Nick. Was. Awesome! I love that he knows he’s kind of a butthead, but I loved watching him try to be better for all of the people around him, not just Kami. He has a big heart, a devious mind, and is determined to win, on and off of the ice. Kami is a big sweetheart, always willing to give her everything to those she loves, but I liked her when she showed her backbone, knowing that she deserved better. I loved her compassion and how quick she was to forgive, too. She was a perfect match for Nick, more than just chemistry and passionately, but she got him beyond just the surface level Nick, and he got her. This book didn’t make me cry, like some other books from Ms. Grant, but I still loved every moment I spent with this book, giggling and swooning and falling in love with Nick and Kami!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2024I adore this book and have read it multiple times. I love how Pippa puts Nick through the ringer to earn back Kami's love and that Kami actually follows through with giving it a go at moving on. She doesn't just wait around and cave the moment Nick starts showing signs of turning around. Also, the audio narrators do such a great job of emoting the struggle both characters feel... Esp Jason Clarke!! This is a book I love revisiting because it is lighthearted and fun and the characters are absolutely loveable and joy to be around. 5+ Stars always!
Lastly, not since City Slickers has anything made me want a cow dog more! Hahaha
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023"Charming as Puck" by Pippa Grant is a delightful rom-com that scores big with its witty banter, endearing characters, and steamy chemistry. Grant weaves a hilarious and heartwarming tale of love, family, and hockey shenanigans from the first page to the last page. The charismatic hockey player and his sister's feisty best friend will have you rooting for them all the way. This book is a winning combination of humor, romance, and charm that will leave you with a big grin on your face. Prepare to fall in love with the world of hockey and all the puck-tastic goodness it has to offer!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2024This author and series is my favorite ever. 100% worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much goodness in the story!
I loved all of the Copper Valley Thrusters so much and when I’m reading them, I think each one is my favourite. But Nick and Kami are so fun to read, so this is my favourite. I think...
- all the books are mine!Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars Pippa Grant is the Queen of the romcom
I doubt Pippa Grant will ever produce a romance novel that I don't instantly love. Nick and Kami are both adorable and hilarious to read.
Nick is the older brother of Felicity from Beauty and the Beefcake. Kami is also Felicity's best friend, just to complicate matters further.
For several months Nick and Kami have been having a secret fling. Kami loves Nick, but Nick thinks things are casual. It isn't until Kami dumps him that he begins to realise that he loves her.
What follows is an epic romantic comedy, where Nick attempts to grow up and win Kami back, using a baby cow amongst a plethora of other gifts!
Kami for her part attempts to move on by going on a series of hysterically terrible blind dates. Add in the wisdom of the Berger twins and the questionable advice of the ice hockey team and you have a first rate comedic love story.
There are a few very powerful, heartfelt scenes which really bring the couple together. These are the moments which really round out the story so you're left feeling emotionally satisfied not just giggly.
I love this author and I drop every other book as soon as I know a new Pippa Grant book is available.
Worth every star I can bestow upon it. 💕

5.0 out of 5 stars Pucking Adorable (pun intended)
So... the hero wakes up with a cow in his bed! How many times have you heard that? Real cow... ok, calf, and it just gets crazier and more adorable as it goes on. I love the way Nick gradually goes from self-centred pucker to awwww-cute as he opens up to the possibility that there is more to life than himself, practical jokes and pucking hockey. A really great read.

Sweet Kami & selfish Nick. He only realises what he had when it's gone. So he goes all out to make it right.

Loved reading Nick and Kamis story, getting to know both of them better as Nick woke up to the fact Kami was it for him.
