Clueless Puckboy is officially my favorite book in the series! I apologize in advance because this review is going to be all over the place.

Quinn!! Baby boo with his pornstache aka the king of being embarrassed. He's absolutely precious and adorable! Poor thing injured his adductor and he has a massive crush on Vance, the team trainer. So, whenever Vance has to manipulate Quinn there, you can imagine the reactions that follow, it’s priceless! Vance has a crush on Quinn too, but he started to be really interested when he overhears Quinn confessing his attraction to him to Asher. Their journey from mutual attraction to something more is just too cute for words.

Quinnie is seriously the most adorable man-child hockey player ever. His crush on Vance makes him blush and stumble over his words, and it's just the cutest sh*t ever. Sometimes, he says things that only make sense to him, like this hilarious and cute scene about cheating. He must be protected at all costs, I would literally die for him.

This book is all about forbidden love, idiots in love, and the sweet agony of mutual pining. The tension between Quinn and Vance is palpable, and their first kiss at the bridge gave me butterflies in my stomach. I literally melted! And don't even get me started on the first time they make love. It's not just physical, it's a beautiful expression of love - tender, passionate, and sweet. They fit together like puzzle pieces, and their journey unfolds naturally, step by step. They bring out the best in each other, and it's heartwarming to witness.

This book is a beautiful, feel-good, and swoon-worthy story. It's low on angst and high on positive vibes. Vance is an incredible boyfriend, always lifting Quinn's confidence and making him feel amazing. Watching their feelings grow for each other was an absolute joy.

The Queer Collective is still as hilarious as ever, and I adore each and every one of them! I love how they have Quinn's back, but also tease him about his lip sweater. Asher though! I fell in love with him all over again.

I'm already looking forward to reading the next book! Gimme, gimme! I don’t want this series to ever end, it's just too good!

These two boys were exactly what I needed.
Quinn and Vance are super cute together.
Quinn is super extra cute being really clueless on and off the ice. How he drools over Vance and cannot handle it is just adorkable.
The Puckboys series is not my favorite but this book was fun and light.
It was exactly what I was needing in a difficult week.

Thank you to @foreword_pr for the copy.

Another super fun and sexy book in this series. I loved awkward nervous babbling Quinn so so much. I felt that this book could’ve used 50 extra pages to develop the love between them some more but the book was so much fun from the beginning to the end. Ayri Quinn is absolutely adorable. I was quite frustrated with Ayri towards the end of the book with the minor third act conflict, though. Vance is so much more patient than I would have been, but it was so nice how loving he was regardless.

The copious cameos of Asher Dalton have me wanting to reread CU Hockey now! I also loved all of the queer collective cameos as always. The collaborative books between these two authors truly never miss. Sadenverse will always be my MCU
