Clueless Puckboy
by Saxon James, Eden Finley
I think that this duo has a knack for writing some really sweet romances. The friend group dynamic is a beacon of light across the series that I truly enjoy.
The real crowning glory in this book was definitely Quinn and Vance (although I think Quinn could do without the mustache). Their chemistry and the push and pull they had at the beginning of the book was a draw. Not to mention how precious Quinn was with his nonsensical stuttering and stammering in front of Vance. I absolutely lived for those moments that were both sweet and rife with humor. The banter was good, the romance was sweet, and the writing and storyline flowed smoothly.
I did have a few things I wish had been more developed. I think I expected more out of the whole "nursemaid" routine when Quinn was injured. I also wish there had been more relationship building as well as something to light a fire in this story. It was well done, but at moments, it could have used more excitement or some force driving the story forward. Overall, this was a fun book--a great palette cleanser, if you will. It is a light, sweet, and low angst book. Plus, hockey. M/M hockey. Who doesn't love that??
Tropes include:
MM Love Interests
Dual POV
Sports Romance
Hockey x Team Trainer
Injury<-He Takes Care of Him
Forced Proximity (for Short Period)
Low Key Forbidden
Secret Crush
Low Key Pining
Shy/Stuttering Hockey Player
Sexy/Confident Trainer
Tight Friend Group
Low Angst
Low/Medium Spice
