Vino & Veritas Book 3: Headstrong by Eden Finley

Headstrong (Vino and Veritas, #3)
Vino & Veritas Book 3

A straight guy gives gay hookup tips to a virgin. What could go wrong?

When I first met Whit, I couldn’t get away from him fast enough. He’s a hockey player, and I hate everything to do with the sport that once broke my heart.

But I can’t help feeling sorry for the guy. He’s newly out and desperate to meet someone, but his eagerness seems to scare potential hook-ups away.

Agreeing to be his wingman should’ve been simple. Watching him flirt with other guys made things complicated.

Whit challenges me in every aspect of my life, from my hatred of hockey to the new questions I’m asking myself. Like why a straight man suddenly can’t stop thinking about kissing another guy.

I think the answer lies somewhere on Whit’s lips...

My Review: 5/5 Stars

There was so much to love about this book. The humor alone was the best. So this book follows Whit and Rainn. Whit is recently out of the closet and is determined to explore his sexuality. The only problem is he is basically a terrible flirt who can't stop talking and ends up scaring any potential hook ups away. Lucky for him his new friend Rainn, the bartender at Vino & Veritas, decides to help him out. Sure, he's straight but watching Whit clumsily navigate his way to meet someone has Rainn deciding maybe he can help him out. What Rainn doesn't expect is for the genuine friendship to spark between them...or the sudden attraction he feels for Whit. And even though Whit has Rainn's help to meet someone new, he immediately realizes that he can't meet anyone when he is currently crushing on his wingman. Their story was a hoot. Whit is an absolute dork and a delight and genuinely funny. And Rainn is this grouchy guy who finds himself charmed by Whit and realizing that he could actually be falling for Whit the more time they spend together. The story has a lot to offer. Like Whit trying to find someone he can be himself with and balance his hockey life at Moo U and his work life at the farm with his family. Meanwhile, Rainn used to play hockey at Moo U and planned on going pro until he injured his knee. His heart was broken after losing his future and he falls into this hole of being alone and becomes a bit of a pessimist. But meeting Whit changes things for him. He realizes he wasn't happy before and he struggles to figure out who he is and what he wants to do. Overall, loved this book. Like I said the humor was top notch, the characters were great, and the story as a whole had me turning page by page until I got to the end. I couldn't put it down. Loving this series so far and I can't wait for more!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
