Bromantic Puckboy by Eden Finley, Saxon James
4.0
4.5 stars - Oh Cody and Miles…you sweet, sweet idiots. I couldn’t get enough of these two!
Cody Bilson is a perpetual monogamist and has been married/divorced four separate times, something he gets mocked for by so many people in his life, including his friends. He’s an honorary member of the Queer Collective and uses being surrounded by the guys to curb his crazy obsession with falling in love. Bilson is so earnest and sweet and is just looking for love and acceptance in all the wrong places. He’s uprooting his life to escape his exes while still continuing to play hockey with the Nashville team, where he meets his new best friend Miles Olsen on the first day of training camp.
Miles Olsen is the Nashville hockey team’s rookie goalie and is so happy to be back home with his family close by and playing for his hometown team. He’s quirky and weird in ways that only a goalie can be, but all of his quirks make him so endearing and sweet. He’s nervous about his first full season with the team and desperately wants to be liked and accepted, but puts so much pressure on himself to perform well. When he meets Bilson, they just click and form a bromance that’s the stuff of legend…something that makes him want so much more than friendship.
These two are, in the nicest and best way possible, idiots together but develop the sweetest, most perfect bromance. Despite Bilson being a vet and Olsen being a rookie, they click in a way that makes them both crave each other’s company whenever they’re not at practice together. Their banter and antics when they’re together were so much fun to read and only got more interesting as they started to explore the new facets of their sexuality together. They took way too long to recognize that what they had was real, but I loved how seamlessly they fit into each other’s lives and how they adopted each other’s pets…both of the hairless and sedimentary varieties. Cody and Miles’s bromance turned romance made me smile and laugh and fall in love with them too!
Can’t wait to see where the Puckboys and the Queer Collective go next…fingers crossed for Middle Kiki finding love soon!
