Egotistical Puckboy (Puckboys 1) by Eden Finley and Saxon James

Narrated by Alexander Cendese and Iggy Toma

"Careful. You're dangerously close to being too perfect, and I don't think I can compete with that."

OMG! I was waiting for Ezra to get his own book and was so excited when it was announced.

Ezra and Anton have always been rivals and are completely opposite but soon realize that their heated rivalry translates into an attraction that can not be denied.

I loved this book so much that I didn’t want it to end. The witty banter had me laughing out loud. The tension and chemistry between Ezra and Anton is thick and smoking hot. Getting to see some of the other CU boys was awesome. Ezra and Anton had me swooning by the end.

I am excited for more of this series and hope that Tripp and Dex get a book together.

Another great narration by Alexander Cendese and Iggy Toma. They were the perfect selections for Ezra and Anton.

Egotistical Puckboy is an mm, sports (hockey), rivals-to-lovers romance told in the dual first-person point of view.

Much like with Finley and Saxon's CU Hockey series, there was a lot to like in this. And Foster Grant (from Power Plays and Straight A's) makes an appearance! A brief one, but an appearance nonetheless. I really liked the NHL Queer Collective that featured as well.

As for the actual couple of the book, I loved them both. They had the chemistry of Beck and Jacobs (from Face Offs and Cheap Shots) with their banter and hate/love relationship. Although Ezra was a lot more crazy than Beck and Anton a lot more laid back than Jacobs. Their snarky humour was hilarious and the chemistry was off the charts. I chuckled my way through reading.

Apart from the relationship, I also really liked the inclusion of the hockey games, it was cool to have insight into the games and to see the progression over the entire season. I would've liked for a bit more team bonding to happen - rather than just couple bonding - but overall it's a good start to a new series.

4.5 stars, rounded to 5.
