i wanted some enemies-to-lovers smut and this DELIVERED!!! the tension between oakley and quinton was amazing. i literally was kicking my legs and screaming because i was eating up every moment between them š i also love that there wasnāt this huge sexual identity crisis - quinton was just like āiāve never liked men before but i like oakley?? okay bet.ā i really liked the plot/premise keeping them together and their chemistry was just *chefās kiss*

Iām drowning in him. So much so, I donāt care if it might go against the rules weāve set out. Nor do I give a flying fuck about kissing him in public, where anyone can watch or judge or feel forced to shield their childrenās eyes.
Quinn and Oakley are lovable hockey rivals who find themselves hooking up to keep a lucky winning streak.
Premise: 4/5 - Hockey enemies to lovers. It canāt compare to Heated Rivalry, but the college age players and the lovable jock attitudes are there.
Prose: 4/5 - Good writing. Nothing exceptional about it but nothing bad. Perhaps could have used a little more poetic waxing. Overall clean and tight writing.
Spice: 4.5/5 - Well written spice. Versatile/switching. Believable and steamy. Lost a little because Iād like to have seen more switching. Perhaps it was not always furthering the plot either but spicy nonetheless.
Tear-worthy: No. I did not cry. They were cute and you definitely felt bad for Quinnās poor family life, but it was not gut wrenching.
Could have used better and more well developed friendships outside of the main pair.
