Puckboys Book 5: Clueless Puckboy by Eden Finley & Saxon James

 

Puckboys Book 5

Quinn

Straining my groin is bad enough. It puts my hockey career, my future, but even worse, my dignity on the line. Having to get massages in that area from Vance Landon, one of the team trainers, is mortifying. It’s impossible to hide my feelings toward him. If my constant blushing and bumbling doesn’t give it away, my body does. It’s getting to the point where I wonder if hockey is even worth the embarrassment.

Trying to avoid him only makes him seek me out more. He’s determined to rehab my injury, but all I want is for him to leave me alone. Or fall for me. One or the other.

Vance

Ayri Quinn isn’t your typical jock … except for the fact he refuses to admit when he’s injured. I’ve seen more than enough professional sportsmen lose the career they love due to injury, and I’m not having it happen again. Especially not when the guy in question happens to be the sweetest, most awkward, innocent jock I’ve ever met.

When a night out leads to Quinn re-injuring himself, I create a care plan that keeps me hands on, literally. Unfortunately, working with him in close proximity brings all those feelings I’ve been trying to ignore to the surface. I just need to get him better so he can be back on the ice and out of my bed. Ah, my massage bed. Because if this goes on any longer, I might mean my actual bed. Ayri Quinn is impossible to resist.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Oh my god, this book will have you in stitches. I could not get over how hilarious Quinn was. This poor boy is super flustered and sweet and clueless and watching him try to be around Vance, especially in the beginning, was everything. When Quinn gets an injury that is in an embarrassing spot, it only gets worse for the times he has to go to Vance, the trainer, to help him out. Talk about awkward. Quinn is constantly blushing and just make noises or his words get jumbled as he tries to keep his cool around. Spoiler alert: he cannot. But it’s “ferfect” (you’ll get that when you read LOL). Meanwhile, Vance knows that Quinn is avoiding telling the truth about his injury and corners him to be honest about it. Vance has had a bit of crush on Quinn but he knows he has to be a professional about it. Though when he overhears that Quinn likes him back, well things get interesting. When they acknowledge that there is something between them, they know they can’t act on it. So they try to stay apart but that turns out to be harder than they realize. And once they give in, neither want to lose something they both know deep down can be the start of something amazing. I adored their story. I couldn’t stop laughing as they two figured out they belong together. Really fun story! I cannot wait for the next one because I think we are about to get a very interesting story coming our way! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
