Easton

You know what’s the worst feeling in the world? Being in love with someone since you were twelve years old, knowing they only see you as a little brother type.

Not even becoming an NHL star has made him realize I’m all grown up now.

All of that changes when I ask my brother’s best friend to ref a charity match and we spend an entire week in each other’s pocket.

Being close to him is torture, but for the first time since my adolescent crush started, I begin to feel hope. I swear Knox looks at me the same way I look at him. Or so I think. When I throw myself at him and get utterly rejected, I never want to see him again.

Yet, shaking him is impossible, because he and Connor are always around, and my older brother is suffocatingly protective. Every time I look at Knox, I’m reminded of how he turned me down.

Can’t I just die of embarrassment in peace?

Knox

The Kiki brothers are legendary in the NHL world. Thick as thieves, unstoppable on the ice, and the kind of family nothing can come between. Or so I thought.

For the last ten years, I’ve successfully hidden my feelings for the middle Kiki brother. Easton is snarky, determined, and the prettiest guy I’ve met. Ever since we stumbled across each other on a gay dating app and shared our secrets, I’ve felt a connection to him that I haven’t had with anything else.

But Connor is my best friend and when it comes to his little brothers, “protective” doesn’t cover it. I’m determined to take my feelings for Easton to the grave, but after a week in close proximity to him, my willpower is ready to break.

All it takes is one charity hockey match, a drunken night out, and a forbidden kiss for me to know that Easton Kikishkin is it for me.

And unless I want to lose Connor, Easton will never be mine.

Puckboys are always a good time!

Again as with all her books in this series, I finish the read with a great big smile and abs that hurt from laughing. Love it all! From the banter between the whole collective gang and the rest of them, to the emotional turmoil that the characters experience when falling in love. Defines must read and listen with these this fantastic narrator duo!

Not enough down time or accountability

Easton wasn’t ‘wrong’ about how he was being treated and I’m annoyed that he was never corrected on that. It’s a good thing Connor is such a good guy because when he finally saw his toxic behavior he dwelled on it and kept trying to be better, even while failing.

As for Knox, I get the feeling of not wanting to try out of fear of failure. But then the ending wrapped up and they’re already in the middle of their relationship and we never got to see them actually BE together. This series is relatively low angst/quick resolve, but if you’re trying to stay invested it’s incredibly stressful to spend the entire book waiting for one of them to give up because they’re afraid of the loss.

Lots of yummy drama.

Man what a rollercoaster haha. This story was was all over the map with feels. And I loved it. Probably one of my favourite books of the series thus far.

another great puckboy love story!!!

Absolutely love when Saxon and Eden partner up they always bring a great story with an even better HEA.

One Kiss, Zero Chill

4.5 ⭐️ 2.8 🌶️

Easton’s been in love with Knox since puberty.
Knox has been in love with Easton since East turned legal. Only problem? Knox is besties with East’s very overprotective big brother.

Now East is out and trying to live his truth, but it’s hard to do that when your brother’s shadow is always looming… and your lifelong crush is too loyal for his own good. One kiss changes everything and nothing. Cue the yearning. The tension. The “will they won’t they oh God they did.”

This book delivers all the pining, all the heat, and just enough emotional chaos to make you scream at your Kindle. The Queer Collective shows up in full chaotic force, Ezra continues to be a menace, and Connor might finally be getting his head out of his… well, you know.

Middle Kiki finally gets his shot and his man.
All that’s left now? Connor’s book. Bring it on.
