Clueless Puckboy by Saxon James, Eden Finley

4.5

---

 

This was such a fun story! Quinn Ayri’s crush on his team trainer, Vance, leads to a sweet and steamy romance full of banter, longing looks, and touching moments. I loved how Vance helped Quinn explore life beyond hockey, and their chemistry was so natural and heartwarming.

Quinn’s awkwardness is absolutely adorable. His mispronunciations and flustered moments around Vance had me laughing out loud, while Vance’s steady yet smitten demeanor added a perfect balance. Their dynamic was refreshing—responsible yet romantic, without the usual PR disasters.

While their relationship was great, it sometimes felt overshadowed by the focus on Quinn’s injury and the hockey season. I wish there had been more moments like in Foolish Puckboy with Gabe and Aleks, where the romance was front and center. That said, their growth as a couple and the Queer Collective’s usual charm made up for it.

The only thing I struggled with was imagining a character with a mustache—definitely not my thing! But overall, this book was another great addition to the series, and I’m already excited for the next one.
