Egotistical Puckboy

by Eden Finley and Saxon James

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.
