The Book Boyfriend Addict

“Just make sure you don’t go falling in love with me.”

I scoff. “A little hard when I’m already in hate with you.”

“Wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Oakley Reed and Quinton de Haas have been enemies for as long as they’ve known each other. Oakley is the golden boy and Quinton is the trouble maker and they’re constantly butting heads. Then one night their competitive nature causes them to wind up hooking up with one another and miraculously their hockey team wins its next game. Hockey players are notoriously superstitious, so they agree they have to keep it up now for the sake of the team – and only for the sake of the team. They’re definitely not still doing it because they *gasp* might actually like one another.

This might be the best idea I’ve ever had, and we could keep riding this wave—and each other’s faces—all the way to the Frozen Four. Or this could cause shit between us to get even worse, possibly more awkward, and could implode.

I was unsure what to think of this book in the first few chapters. I was NOT expecting that level of animosity right out of the gate. These two did NOT like each other and they weren’t afraid to show it. Quinton, in particular, had some real anger issues and I’ll admit it was a little off-putting. But, once their little arrangement started, things began to change and I started to get into it.

I loved the little glimpses we started to get into Quinton’s vulnerabilities. As we got to understand him better, I began to like him more and more. It was really cute seeing how he was the main one pushing for this thing between them, especially considering he always assumed he was straight. Discovering he was into dudes, and his biggest enemy, in particular, was never a source of angst for him. There were so many sweet and, of course, steamy moments as the story progressed. And much to my surprise, Quinton ended up being my favorite of the two.

The angst that hits near the end didn’t come as a surprise to me, I figured what it would be pretty early on but it still made me sad seeing the fallout. It was sweet how everything wrapped up, though, it was the perfect ending for these guys!

I’m yearning for more pieces and layers of him I never knew existed, still waiting for me to discover, unwrap, and learn.

And it’s terrifying, wanting that.

But what scares me more is how much I want him to see those parts of me too.
