Irresponsible Puckboy by Eden Finley, Saxon James
lighthearted
medium-paced
5.0
“Have you guys ever gotten the impression Dex is in love with Tripp as much as Tripp is in love with him, but he just doesn’t realize?”
- Irresponsible Puckboys
Tropes: Friends to Lovers, Sexual Awakening, Fake Dating, Marriage of Convenience, Accidental Marriage, Pining
Representation: LGBTQ+ (Gay, Pansexual)
Spice Scale: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
CW: Homophobia, Outing, Toxic Relationship
When I finished Egotistical Puckboy, my first thought was that if Tripp and Dex aren’t the protagonists of the next story, I’m going to be very sad. Thankfully, Eden and Saxon didn’t let me down on that front!
I loved the slight twist on the marriage of convenience trope and how well it worked with their relationship. The Collective makes another and more prominent appearance in this, which was endlessly entertaining. I can’t wait to see more from them as a group. This book also had a bit more of an external conflict/villain, which worked really well.
I adored both Tripp and Dex. The pining on Tripp’s end was sweet and heart aching at the same time. But Dex stole my heart. He was such a sweet, oblivious pansexual himbo. He was sincere, kind, and caring. He wore his feelings on his sleeve, even if he didn’t understand them all the time, and loved without hesitation, which made me melt. I think he is officially my emotional support himbo now. I’d protect him with my life.
