Cute, cozy, and a whole lot ridiculous, but nothing spectacular.

Listen, I have a soft spot for adorable himbos, and I completely understand why that isn't for everyone because Teddy truly is a whole idiot and a half, but I have never wanted to be best friends with someone as badly as I want to be best friends with the lovable weirdo that is Teddy. 

He truly is THE biggest himbo to ever himbo, and he and Rhys were just too precious for words.

What to expect:
- college hockey
- rivals to lovers
- best friend's older brother
- fake dating turned real
- idiots to lovers, well, in Teddy's case lmfao
- secret relationship
- hilarious banter
- found family
- jealous + possessive MMC
- so much spicy goodness 

Love in Unexpected Places was a super cute anthology by RS McKenzie, which featured a few stories Iโ€™d read in other anthos and a couple I hadnโ€™t! 

These were my favorites:

Tropes: age gap, best friendโ€™s dad, secret relationship

A game of truth or dare has Derek hooking up with a hot older man at a club, only to find out the guy he blew is his best friendโ€™s dad!

On Game Night, Alphas can do as they please with no repercussions, and Aldric has his sights set on Jude, his omega assistant.

Love me some obsessive, possessive, touch her and die MMCs, and Quentin did not disappoint! Will say this would have been better if it were longer and more developed, but overall really enjoyed. 

What to expect: 
- vigilante serial killer
- ghost face vibes 
- stalking 
- touch her and die (literally)
- banter

Honestly it took me a minute to get into First Puck, and didnโ€™t really hook me until Brad got jealous and possessive over Alex. That being said, their story was spicy and fun, even if I wanted to strangle both of themโ€”Alex for not speaking up for himself & Brad for just being so clueless. 

What to expect: 
- hockey 
- best friends to lovers 
- fake dating (not MCs)
- bj awakening 
- first times

Kai and Paedyn are everything! This book had me simultaneously kicking my feet and squealing while also screaming because of how frustrated I was with these two. 

And that ending?! Whaaaat!!
