Going out on a win with this one. Loved this story so much! And now I’m kind of sad that I’m done with this series. After reading 10 books about gay hockey players (even though they’re short 250-300 page reads), I’m sad to leave this world I’ve been a part of for a few weeks. This series (and the Puckboys series) will definitely be added to my comfort re-reads collection for the future!

NOW THIS WAS A BOOK. Asher and Jasper immediately grabbed my attention. That connection was instant. And when they got over that initial hurdle, they fell harder than they would have ever imagined. It was consistent, but so real. I loved the kids in this. This big chaotic family. I'll miss this universe.

“Are you sniffing me?”
“Greedily.”
“Why?” His shoulders shake with suppressed laughter.
“Because your scent turns me on.”

Overall reco: Oh man. West and Jasper as so cute. I didn't even think I was going to read this book until I read Asher's and then I know I had to see what happens to West. West seemed so freaked out for most of Asher's book. Like Asher had a lot of trauma that he wasn't dealing with. West was a hair from a panic attack in that book and damn, poor boy had it ROUGH. I love a broken MMC.
Jasper was Daddy. Holy shit. I did not expect that from him. I didn't expect that dynamic at fucking ALL. Like WOW. All these books about representation and we get to the adults and BAM. HELLO DADDY.
Seriously, I couldn't put this down. I feel asleep reading twice because I wanted one more page. I was grabbing pages while doing things. I hardly ever do that.

I'm super sad that CU is over. I'm hoping we get to hear more about them Egotistical but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm okay with it, but I am sad this (aside from the novella's) is the end of the time with CU.
