As my thirtieth birthday loomed like an impending storm, I, Vivian, a university librarian with a penchant for passion, yearned for a celebration beyond the ordinary. Even a night outside of Netflix and knitting was wild for me. But in the quirky world of college campuses, fate threw me a curveball.It all began one day between the stacks when a hottie, clad in hockey warm-ups, approached me. Little did I know that a seemingly innocent dinner would escalate into an indecent proposal—a birthday threesome. The proposition only got wilder with the addition of a bi-curious roommate, and suddenly, we were grappling with the complexities of a quadsome. Or was it a quadratic-some?My post-celebration sprint of shame was Olympic-worthy. I then safely tucked away the memories of my orgasmic encounter with the hockey trio. But then enter two pink lines on a pregnancy test, turning my carefree romp into a delightful mess of three irresistible studs—potential baby daddies—each vying for a place in my heart and in my bed.As we eagerly awaited the results of a genetic test that promised to unveil the mystery of fatherhood, I discovered that love doesn’t conform to traditional melds, and that three Pucks and a Baby might just be the winning combination.

    I have to say I think I liked this in spite of some plot points that I normally dont’ like or try to avoid. This is a why choose, swords crossing, accidental pregnancy, older woman + younger men age gap situation. What starts as a wild fantasy, one handed read, turns into a pretty serious situation. Vivian is a college librarian, age 28 (?), working on her vision board to get some more excitement in her life. She gets asked out on a date by a 23 (?) year old college hockey player, Grayson. Even though he’s a younger guy, a student, she agrees with some reservations. But Grayson has more in mind than a date. His team mate/best friend/roommate, Theo, have a hockey superstition that THEY HAVE TO HAVE A THREESOME TO WIN AT HOCKEY. So every season they find a woman, usually another student, to have 3 somes with to win at hockey. It’s just sex, no girlfriends, no relationship. Grayson and Theo decide this year they want to have an ‘older’ woman, and Theo is really into librarians so Grayson has targeted Vivian. On their first date, Theo shows up and pretty quickly tells Vivian their plan. She’s mad, nearly leaves, then decides to take advantage of the opportunity to live a little. What I personally don’t like, is the dynamic of college student + adult. They are technically only 5 years apart in age, but it feels a little icky to me. I think the author does a good job navigating around this in the end, but if it wasn’t an ARC I might have DNF’d. On their night of their big event, their roommate, Bennett turns up and is asked to join in. It is pretty sexy and on par for other poly books. But Vivian decides she actually likes this guys and can’t keep doing this without catching feelings so she breaks things off. No surprise from the title, but a big surprise to the characters, Vivian ends up pregnant. They did use condoms, that’s on page, but stuff happens. So what started out as a fantasy, has resulted in some very real world consequences. The rest of the book is these 4 figuring out their poly relationship, pregnancy, family drama, and what happens when people find out about their situation. It does have an HEA, or HFN. For a why choose, the author did a good job distinguishing between the male MMC’s with different personalities and backgrounds. Sometimes in these books their voices/POV start to run together. The final relationship kind of makes sense, Vivian is maybe an immature adult and 2 out of the 3 guys are pretty emotionally mature. So, I liked this more than I thought I would when I started reading it. It combined a lot of sex with an interesting story line if you’re into polyamorous relationships with pregnancy mixed in. Arc provided by the publisher.
