“You might just be my weakness.”
I can’t believe the Puckboys series is actually over! It truly is the end of an era. I’ve had such a great time over the years with the PR disasters of the NHL. Every new love story was great, and it was always a treat catching up with the rest of the Queer Collective in every book. That group is legendary at this point, and while I’m sad it’s over, I thought this book was the perfect way to wrap everything up. Lachie and Sam’s story was so sweet and even a little heartbreaking from time to time, and the Collective shenanigans were top tier. It was everything I could have hoped for from this series finale!
I’ve compromised a lot in my life, despite still getting everything I’ve ever wanted, but Sam … Angelica … these are impossibilities, the only things I’ve ever wanted so desperately but can’t have.
At long last, Little Kiki gets his love story, and I was so happy he was paired up with Sam. It was so cute how Lachie’s Disney Princess vibes kept bringing him to the animal shelter that Sam managed. And even cuter that Lachie had been crushing on Sam since Lachie was a kid. Being that Sam’s life was in Colorado and Lachie was only home for the summer before returning to his team in St. Louis, the two embark on a summer fling. But it doesn’t take long for real feelings to develop. And with Lachie locked into his contract in St. Louis for several years, it seemed impossible for them to be together, no matter how badly they wanted to be. This part, the yearning and the hopelessness of the situation, broke my heart. I was not expecting a Puckboys book to make me cry sad tears, but this one did.
I loved how everything turned out, though. These two (Lachie in particular) may have been young, but they handled their situation so maturely, and the communication was excellent. They fought hard for their future and for the HEA, and I couldn’t have been happier to see them getting everything they wanted.
“How did I get so lucky to find you?”
“You didn’t. I found you. Or … more specifically, the animals I rescued did.”
Sam cups my face. “My Disney Princess.”
I’ve always said that I would be happy to read books that were solely about the shenanigans of the Queer Collective, and I was thrilled to see so many members (practically all of them) stirring up trouble in this one. The early scenes where they’re on their annual retreat were hilarious. And I was so happy with the epilogue and getting updates on everyone. I may have cried sad tears during the main story, but by the end, it was nothing but happy tears as this group of characters that I’ve grown to love so much gets to ride off into the sunset. Thank you, Saxon and Eden, for indulging us for 10 amazing books. The Puckboys will always hold a special place in my heart, and I look forward to whatever these two will cook up for us next!
“I’m so proud of what we’ve built here, and I really hope someday that the Collective will be overflowing with members. These guys are special, and they should be reminded of it always.”
