3.85 AVERAGE


Another workplace romance in the series - to be fair almost all of them are workplace romances, I guess I mean one with potential for ethical concerns? Unlike in Oskar's book, here it is handled professionally the whole way through.

The dynamic between Vance and Quinn was exceptionally sweet, full of pining and, of course, cluelessness, though never to the point of obliviousness or frustation. There were a few comical moments that almost veered too far for me, but they never crossed a line.

The workplace injury plotline was big in the beginning, but thankfully mellowed somewhat, which I found relieving.

As usual, I loved the cameo appearances from the other characters, as well as the subtle setup for the next book.

Quinn and Vance were very cute and sweet. Nothing special, but cute.
adventurous challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

Quinn is devastated and frustrated, this injury can end his career, to rehabilitate it he has to get massages by the one man he can barely function around. Vance is perfect, gorgeous, smart and kind, how is Miles not supposed to react around him… he is mortified every time but Vance is the perfect gentleman and does not acknowledge his ‘situation’…this crush is killing his brain cells, he can’t even form a sentence around Vance. 

Vance has worked hard for his career, a career he loves. He is professional… something he has to remind himself a beautiful, bumbling hockey player lays on his table. After an injury Quinn has become a regular in his schedule trying to rehabilitate a particularly nasty groin injury, while working in that particular area quinn continues to have a natural bodily reaction. Quinn peaks Vance’s interest in general… he doesn’t seem like the average jock, he blushes and stumbles over his words …. Shy maybe? What Vance wasn’t expecting is to overhear a conversation where Quinn says he has a big crush on Vance, it clicks for Vance, all the peculiar behaviour that Quinn displays around him was because of a crush! 

A re injury forces Vance to become Quinn’s sole focus to get him back to his game, Vance is not about to let a crush ruin Quinn’s career…. What he didn’t expect was for Quinn to be the perfect person for him as much as Vance tries to resist Quinn is determined to get his man.
