This series will probably never end, but I do love reading about these hockey players a whole lot.
Possessive Puckboy is another fairly enjoyable low-angst romance book about a hockey player falling for another man. In this one, the bully romance and billionaire romance tropes are mixed in, which are new ones for these authors. It brought in somewhat of a new perspective that I appreciated.
Connor was really not my favourite in Easton's, his little brother's book, and I am happy to see that he actually got a character arc and went through some growth as a person.
He's an oldest brother with a lot of familial expectations and a hefty urge to protect his little brothers. But he needs to admit to himself that his overprotectiveness is not healthy and he needs to back off. And with that, he kinda loses his purpose for a while. I really enjoyed his attempts at finding his way.
Parker is the billionaire tech nerd who buys Connor's team. He's also the gay kid who was bullied in high school because of Connors' actions. Their reunion is not so great, but they work through all the resentment and guilt together, which is kinda nice. I enjoyed that Parker made Connor face his actions and take accountability. But I also liked that he did not succumb to bitterness and was able to let it go.
Their unlikely friendship and chemistry are amazing. They actually built a relationship and talked to each other. Though not always immediately. Their antics and fun together are sweet and enjoyable.
I hope the authors can keep up the quality of these books in th future because I did feel a little bit of drop in the last couple of books. I hope they won't force it just to keep going.
*I received a complimentary copy of this book to share my honest review.*
