Power Plays & Straight A's (Cu Hockey, #1)

by Saxon James and Eden Finley

This was hilarious and sweet and adorkable. I mean;

“I have questions.” “What about?” There’s a pause. “Sex.” “And we’re done with the movie.” I reach over and close the laptop. “What questions?” “Umm … well, how do you, like, choose if you’re a top or a bottom?” “There’s a sorting hat. Like in Harry Potter. It wasn’t even placed on my head before it screamed, ‘Top!’ and then all the other tops welcomed me to their house.”

That had me in freaking hysterics. The romance was generally pretty good - there were a few misses with a lack of communication but there had to be a story somewhere. I liked that both characters were fairly comfortable with their sexuality and that all their friends and community were supportive of them. I even understood why Foster hadn't come out - although I liked that as soon as he took Zach home he was willing to speak up. I loved that his parents were so supportive and understanding - even though he wasn't the son they were expecting to be (well I want to say gay here but he's bi so I don't know however you put that into English). And even Zach's parents were pretty awesome.

I really liked Zach. I liked his willingness to put himself out there - even though he's not remotely comfortable with it. And Foster was so easy going and kind and they were very sweet together. I'm not sure I will continue with the series - I liked Jacob but I'm not sure I particularly care enough to read his story - but I may pick up Seth's book with the hopes of seeing more Zach/Foster. 4.5 stars.
