I'm not going to lie, I wasn't really feeling this when I first started. But from around 40% on I was pretty invested and I liked how it all turned out for these two! 

Quinton and Oakley have been hockey rivals for basically their entire careers, even though they play on the same college team. They have clashing personalities and tension. Through a series of events, they start a good luck superstitious fuck buddy relationship, and as always feelings soon get involved when they realize they aren't so different. 

Once they finally gave into their feelings more (ahem, Oakley), I really loved their dynamic. They both found kindred spirits in one another despite the fact that they had such different personalities. Their emotional connection was built in the small moments they had with each other - socks, ice skating (not hockey), and Ferris wheel. It was more of a slow emotional burn, but when they let go of the animosity they fell into their relationship pretty quickly. 

I didn't love everything that happened in the beginning and it did take me a second to get into it. But I loved them as a couple and the second half was really good. Lots of spicy scenes, but I thought they were written pretty well and incorporated a lot of their vulnerabilities. 

I'm excited to see how the rest of the stories play out for this group of guys. We get just enough of the side characters to be a little intrigued, and I'm definitely going straight to Holden's story after this!
