The Copper Valley Thrusters Origin Series

Books, 1-3 of the Copper Valley Thrusters. You will laugh and cry at all the goings on in each book. The couples are charming and equally disarming in their own right. Pippa always brings great characters and plots to her stories. I highly recommend this collection.

This is my second time reading these books and they are even better the second time around!Pippa is one of my top 5 favorite authors and she never disappoints. I love that she put this origin series together. It was so fun to go back and remember where it all began. Zeus and Ares are absolutely so e of my favorites.Definitely one click and read.

4.5 stars. This box set has three full novels mostly focusing on the Copper Valley Thrusters hockey team. All of these hilarious romances have a little bit of everything - sweet moments, fan your face steam, painful pasts, strong friendships, crazy families, snort worthy moments, cute animals, and so much love. While the books are quite funny, they also have three dimensional characters, witty dialogue and engaging storylines. These books are also for all the men and women that think they are too big a disaster for, or too weird, and are inherently unworthy of beautiful, sweet, fairytale love.Mister McHottie - 3.5 starsI love Pippa Grant’s books but this is my least favorite of hers. In my opinion, for an enemies to lovers trope to work well, the author has to find a balance between animosity between the main characters without tipping into meanness or abuse. Unfortunately, there was too much meanness between the main characters to be a good romance for me. Angry sex is good but not with some of the comments between the MCs here, it was more like hate sex. We first meet the Berger twin hockey gods, Zeus and Ares, in this book because Ambrosia is their sister.The Pilot and the Puck Up - 5 starsOn the surface, Zeus and Joey both appear to be too rough around the edges and too big of personalities to be a good match together. Zeus is a 6’9” mountain of a man who’s a professional hockey player. Everyone believes he isn’t very bright and see him only as a sideshow freak. Joey is not a typical woman. She is a swearing, hard driving pilot who owns her own company and flies planes that simulate Martian, moon and zero gravity. Neither Zeus nor Joey believe they will ever have a spouse or kids because they’re too weird but love finds a way regardless of our weirdness. On their way to their HEA, Zeus and Joey have to both learn a lot about love, trust, letting go of fear, and learning to embrace who you are.Royally Pucked - 5 starsI love a book that includes a happy, sunshine and quirky girl and a tortured hero. Gracie and Manning’s love story has all the feels - expect to laugh and cry. Plus there are x-rated cookies and an emotional support monkey. On the surface, Gracie and Manning appear to be opposites. Manning is a prince from a small European country who has been relegated to the United States to play professional hockey and clean up his image before he has to return to marry the woman chosen for him. Manning is determined to smile through everything. Gracie is a small town southern baker who barely passed high school, secretly sells x-rated cookies, swears too much and is definitely not princess material. After meeting at a charity event, Gracie and Manning have one quick sexual encounter in the locker room of the hockey team which leads to an unexpected pregnancy, and that is where the hilarity begins. On their way to their HEA, Gracie and Manning have to both learn a lot about love, family, duty, and embracing who you are. While they follow the inevitable path to being together, it is painfully hilarious to watch their growth and missteps.Sprinkled liberally throughout these beautifully paced stories, there are also some other characters from the Pippa Universe. It is okay if you have not yet read the love stories of these characters though. They are woven seamlessly into the stories so rather than being overwhelming or detracting from the main love story, the side characters are beautiful additions to the unfurling of the MC.’s dance of love, passion and hilarity. Expect to feel all the feelings with these books.

Just hard to put her books down read them all and waiting for more. Love hockey...thanks ❤️Keeping writing laugh, cry. And chuckle reading Pippa books

This is an amazing series. I could not put it down! It’s funny and beyond entertaining. I have already downloaded the next series.

Mister McHottie (The Copper Valley Thrusters #0.5)I had so much fun listening to this quirky, heartfelt, steamy enemies to lovers romance. Chase and Ambrosia grew up together and have a history, that because of miscommunication, have left each other with scars. Now Chase is back in her life as her new boss and she is not happy about it. When she and her crazy friends want to prank his office one night, Chase finds Bro as she is trying to distract attention. They have a passionate encounter that reminds them of their explosive chemistry. They aren't happy about it and the insults fly fast and furious. But the insults and pranks are their foreplay and they can't seem to stop. Chase is so sweet, and swoony as he tries to make thinks right with Bro. Bro feels like she was robbed of her dreams, so she uses insults as a shield. She is funny and passionate and only wants to do what she loves. Ava Erickson, and Aiden Snow did a great job bringing this story to life. I love both their voices, along with their flawless comedic timing and dynamic voice changes. This is my first Pippa Grant audio and I will definitely check out more of her work.The Pilot & the Puck-Up (The Copper Valley Thrusters #1)I had so much fun listening to this hilarious, heartfelt, and steamy hockey romance. I fell for Zeus, the huge professional hockey player with an even bigger heart. He is smart, confident and unapologetically blunt. He easily has women throwing themselves at him, so when he meets Joey "Fireball' Diamonte, he is completely bowled over. Joey is ex-military, and is a pilot that runs her own flight adventure company. She is tough, athletic, loves taking care of her family, and never takes crap from anybody. She and Zeus are drawn to each other right from the start. They are so much alike as they care for those in need, and love a challenge. Joey doesn't give in easily to Zeus, making him work for her attention. There are so many hilarious moments when Zeus is out of his element, but it makes him want her even more. I love Zeus and Joey together! They really understand each other, are sensitive to each others flaws, and are so competitive, it only fuels their explosive chemistry. I also all their quirky friends and family, who made this story even more fun.Jason Clarke, and Erin Mallon did a great job bringing this story to life. I love both their voices, along with their flawless comedic timing and dynamic voice changes as they delivered the clever, fast paced, snarky banter. They made this hilarious, heartfelt, and steamy story even better.Royally Pucked (The Copper Valley Thrusters #2)4.5 Hilarious Royal RomCom Stars!This hilarious romcom was fun and sizzling from the very beginning and never slowed down. Manning is a real Prince from Stölland. He is not in line to become king but has been banished for a bit so they can clean up his latest scandals. Because he loves and played hockey on Stölland's olympic team, he moved to America to play on a professional hockey team there. He meets and is intrigued by Gracie, a fiesty, beautiful baker. They have a night of fiery passion that results in Gracie getting pregnant. She is determined to raise her baby on her own, without trapping Manning, but would like him to be involved. Manning is surprised by how much he wants Gracie and their baby. When unexpected royal duties get in the way, Manning tries to protect them by leaving. But Gracie doesn't want him to suffer his fate if she can help him. But can a sheltered southern girl with a potty mouth be enough to defy a king and save Manning? I love how strong Gracie is despite her insecurities about some things. She is smart, loyal and spunky and the perfect match for the sweet, and swoony Manning.This entertaining story is brought to life beautifully by Jacob Morgan, and Virginia Rose. I love both their voices, along with their flawless comedic timing and dynamic voice changes as they delivered the clever, fast paced, snarky banter. They made me laugh, swoon and cheer for Manning and Gracie's HEA. They made this hilarious, heartfelt, and steamy story even better.

Thoroughly enjoyed this set of books. Had read them a while back but enjoyed them as a set. Lots to laugh about and they are all larger than life. Highly recommend.
