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.

I’ve listened to and read this entire series more than once, and they never get boring. The audio is performed by Alexander Cendese and Iggy Toma, two narrators I’ll always combine with the Sadenverse by now, and they doing an amazing job every time!

Clueless Puckboy is probably the book with the tiniest amount of angst of the whole series, and it’s a really sweet story. Quinn and Vance are perfect together, especially with Vance’s amount of patience, because Quinn does not make it easy for him.

Quinn is younger and a little unexperienced, having only been in one relationship with his long-term high school boyfriend. He has a major crush on Vance, which makes him a fumbling mess around Vance, and it also gives him so unfortunate boners since Vance is the team trainer, and has been overseeing Quinn’s injury in the groin area.

Quinn is recovering but is set back during some heavy grinding on the dance floor, which forces Quinn to spend a lot of time with Vance, and he quickly gets past his shyness when he realizes that there might be a chance that Vance feels the same way as Quinn does.

I’m very much looking forward to the next book. We get a lot more of Bilson in this book, and also the mention of Miles.
