Clueless Puckboy by Eden Finley, Saxon James

4.0

Vance and Quinn's story was so cute! I don't think anything could have been cuter than Quinn's blushy awkwardness around Vance in the beginning, and the lengths he went to avoid being obvious about his crush were so silly and sweet. When I found out Vance had a thing for Quinn too it felt like kismet, and they surprised me by doing the smart thing and communicating openly instead of sneaking around to hide their obvious conflict of interest. Most of their story revolved around their chosen careers, so it would have been impossible to hide for long, and not having that hanging over their heads made it easier to get lost in the little sweet moments while Vance was helping Quinn heal up. Their chemistry was fantastic, and they settled into a relationship so naturally over the course of the story. I honestly felt like the hockey storyline was what kept me the most tense as I waited to see if Quinn's team would pull out a Cup win. Quinn really struggled to find a way to get out of his own head during games, and I'm glad he had Vance to keep him grounded. I'll admit I was a little confused by Quinn's side-quest to find something he wanted to do outside of hockey and how it ended, but I think it was supposed to be a romantic gesture? Not my favorite, but I really liked seeing where Quinn and Vance ended up throughout the rest of the story, from meeting each other's friends to coming out to the team and playing some dang good hockey.
