Shameless Puckboy by Eden Finley, Saxon James
4.0
Something about this felt different than the other books in the series/by the authors.
It wasn't hate-to-love, exactly, but it felt like the truly first book where for a long time the characters genuinely didn't like each other, even beyond the point where they have sex.
Oskar is acerbic and pushes everyone away, and Lane is stubborn and determined to save Oskar from himself - they meshed well, but also clashed heavily. It made their eventual falling for each other all the sweeter, though there wasn't all that much sweetness between them even in their loving moments.
The added tension of their workplace romance with potential ethical issues was handled rather well, or I guess it was never an issue between the two of them, more of an outside conflict that threatened the relationship. There was no direct power imbalance between them (other than a bit of consensual sexual one).
I appreciate the change of pace in the series, so far each book has been very unique and distinct from each other.
Content warnings include: public sex, exhibitionism, sex on-page, workplace relationship with potential ethical issues; Mentions of homophobia, teen getting kicked out for being gay.
