2024 Book #113
Title: Bromantic Puckboy Author: Eden Finley, Saxon James Genre: Contemporary Romance, Sports, LGBTQIA+ Series: Puckboys, Book 6
Bilson The idea of moving away from Seattle was a joke at first. I have too many failed relationships here. Too much baggage. So when I find myself signing with Nashville and leaving everything behind, I’m hopeful a new start will cure me of my attachment problems. I fall fast and hard, and I’m quickly realizing it’s not so easy to escape my emotional damage. That follows no matter where I go. When my new teammate, rookie goalie Miles Olsen, attaches himself to my side, the media are excited to exploit our bromance. Little do they know, he’s doing me a favor by keeping me away from making mistakes with women. That’s the deal we made at the beginning of the season, but as time goes on, and we’re both going through a dry spell, Miles suggests a different arrangement. One I’ve never contemplated. One I shouldn’t consider. One I can’t stop thinking about. Miles My first day as starting goalie for Tennessee is made mildly more terrifying by coming face to face with NHL veteran Cody Bilson. Hero worship? Me? Never! He reminds me of my old frat buddies; loyal, kind, easy to trade banter with. But my dude is lost and trying to find himself again--without getting married this time. I want to help him, and while my suggestion might not be conventional, it sure as hell is effective. The only way to make sure he doesn't marry a woman again? Blow off steam with a man instead. We're both straight, we're both single, and we're both down for a good time. After all, what are teammates for?
Rating: 4.25 ⭐

The Sadenverse, reading order
Green: Written by Eden Finley Red: Written by Both Authors Yellow: Written by Saxon James
purple is not significant, it just means the arrows are layered so its just to separate them.
✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫
First off, the Sadenverse is a universe created across multiple series that Saxon James and Eden Finley have either written separately or co-written together. There’s no one “right way” to read these books, so you might come across minor spoilers depending on where you start. Personally, I didn’t read them in any particular order. I began with the Puckboys series, moved on to the CU Hockey series, and then jumped into the Mike Bravo Ops series without worrying too much about the reading order. That’s when I realized what the Sadenverse really was.
While reading the Mike Bravo Ops series, I discovered two things: first, there is a suggested reading order that doesn’t follow the chronological publication dates, and second, there are over 25 books in this universe, with more on the way from both authors. People on TikTok and Reddit have been discussing the best order to read them in. I found a map that was both helpful and a bit confusing—if that makes sense. I recommend checking out ‘Steph Sometimes Reads’ on TikTok for guidance on the reading order or this map I found on figma. The authors also have a reading order on their website, though I haven’t been able to find it myself, but others have mentioned it’s there.
Honestly, I don’t think the reading order is as crucial as some people make it out to be. If you want to dive into the entire universe, go for it! But if you’re a moody or picky reader, just read what you feel like and check the synopses and warnings for each book. I plan to read the whole universe, but I’ll drop a book if the characters start acting too stupid—I’m not about to subject myself to that, I have things to do.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Egotistical puckboy by Eden Finley and Saxon James
Summary:
EZRA
Partying, dudes, and hockey. What more could a gay NHL player want?
If it weren't for Anton Hayes, my life would be perfect.
Not that he affects my life in any way. At all. That would imply I care what the winger from Philly thinks of me.
Which I don't.
Not even a one-night stand with him can thaw his misplaced animosity toward me.
He says I'm the one with the ego, but he can talk. He rivals me for most egotistical puck boy in the league.
I hate him as much as he hates me. Even if I crave a repeat.
ANTON
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game.
I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids.
My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all.
He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known.
We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens.
That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.
Review:
Enemies to FBW to lovers done so so well.
Both Anton and Ez are such good and complex characters, I went into this book expecting plotless smut - my brain needed a bit of a break and you guys know I love my smut readings - but I was surprised by not only how well rounded these characters were and the clear grow they both go through the book.
Of course the smut was also actually good, so in all it was a well rounded up book that even made me tear up a little! There's other books in this series focusing on different couples and I'm gonna try to get through them before I need to cancel my KU.

Stayed up until 2am (when my alarm goes off at 6) to finish this the same day I started because it was so good!!!
It might take Irresponsible Puckboys spot as favorite book in this series, but it's definitely tied.

In an official relationship for thirty seconds and the sex stops. I knew it would happen, but I don't think it's supposed to happen this fast.

Forbidden puckboy de Saxon James y Eden Finley
Con el libro 7 de los Puckboys entramos en la era Kikishkin, los Kiki Bros. Tres hermanos, 3 libros El primero trata sobre el mediano, Easton, enamorado desde los 12 años de Knox, el mejor amigo de su controlador hermano mayor Connor. Connor y Easton juegan en el mismo equipo de la liga profesional. A Knox le dio flojera esforzarse y se dedicó a ser árbitro. Pero la liga de hockey femenina no le da para comer, y el resto del año tiene que trabajar de camarero. La tensión sexual entre Easton y Knox va creciendo a ojos de todos (menos de Connor, que vive en su mundo feliz de salvador protector), hasta que la frustración revienta sobre el hielo. A PARTIR DE AQUÍ SPOILERAZOS QUE TE CRIÓ: Este libro tiene dos partes: la primera es el partido benéfico de todos los jugadores gays de la NHL; y la historia de Easton y Knox después. Desde el libro 5 del aburrido Ayri Quinn esta saga se ha vuelto un hit and miss. El 7 es un poco miss, por dos razones: 1. Knox es un personaje con cerebro de lavadora que no deja de amargarse en bucle incluso cuando va consiguiendo TODO lo que desea. Además, el hecho que que su relación con ambos hermanos sea contada, y no experimentada por el lector, hace que la química parejil sea floja. En una escena tienen que asegurarte que la tienen, para que te lo creas. Pese a que físicamente es mi tipo, Knox resulta un flojeras y un palizas. El libro necesitaba una vuelta más de edición, se nota. 2. Connor no sólo obstaculiza su relación: les roba COMPLETAMENTE el protagonismo. Su personaje tiene tanta miga que en cierto momento clave me importaban más sus sentimientos y todo lo que le ocurría a él que, sin exagerar, las escenas íntimas entre los otros. Por no hablar del futuro interés amoroso, que le guarda un rencor del tamaño de un estadio de hockey. Esa futura pareja me tiene en ascuas desde el primer encontronazo, porque apunta a un what if Jasper y West (personajes de la saga CU anterior) hubieran ido juntos al instituto y West hubiera sido el origen del bullying de Jasper, en vez del héroe vengador. Tengo muchas ganas de leer el libro 8 de Connor: Possesive Puckboy. ¡Ojalá no decepcione!
Lachie me importa menos de momento, porque pinta muy vivalavida. Pero Connor, madre mía, qué emoción me ha despertado este personaje. Hermano mayor sobreprotector obsesivo al que sus padres dejaron a cargo de sus hermanos y ya no sabe qué hacer si no tiene que cuidar de ellos. Síndrome de nido vacío a tope. Ay, por favor, que el 8 esté un poco más currado que el 7, que se notan las prisas por pasar a otros proyectos, se notan. (A lo mejor les llevó el mismo tiempo y esfuerzo que el 6, el de Bilson y Miles, pero los Bromantic fluían con naturalidad, es el libro que más veces me he leído de toda la saga, van 5 ya, me lo he comprado hasta en papel…)

My eyes fall closed, blocking out the chaos around me, which isn’t the greatest idea because then I’m alone with my thoughts, and there isn’t a single one I want to listen to.

CU Hockey Series By: Saxon James & Eden Finley
So after reading the Puckboys series, I decided to read the CU Hockey series. It was alright. Puckboys is so much better. But anyways here's my rapid fire review of the series.
✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫
5. Line Mates & Study Dates (CU Hockey 4)
⭐ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ I really didn't like this book. Asher's POV was annoying at times, and while I understood his perspective, I just couldn’t get into it. It was so hard to read it.
4. Power Plays & Straight A's (CU Hockey 1)
⭐ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ This one was alright, not bad, but it’s very much an insta-love trope, which feels like a cop-out to me.
3. Goal Lines & First Times (CU Hockey 3)
⭐ ⭐ ☆ ☆ ☆ I liked this one until the end. Seth was kind of annoying and unfair to Cohen, but the representation of ace/aro people was a nice touch, something you don't see often or done well.
2. Face Offs & Cheap Shots (CU Hockey 2)
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ☆ I’ll always love enemies-to-lovers, and this book was so addictive to read. I can't wait to see more of Beck and Jacobs in the other books.
Puck Drills & Quick Thrills (CU Hockey 5)
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ☆ This one is the best so far. I loved Wes in the Puckboys series and it was great to see his story and how it connects with Puckboys. I absolutely loved the epilogue. Jasper and Wes had a better relationship than most of the other couples in the CU Hockey. I think it was because Wes and Jasper were adults.
✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫━✫
I finished the the Mike Bravo Ops series as well. I'll post a rapid fire review later. As always please check out my blog

Puck Drills & Quick Thrills by Eden Finley

This book, the final installment of the CU Hockey series, follows Westly, an NHL star turned college coach and legal guardian of his five younger half-siblings, and Jasper, a math professor who doesn't like jocks. I was a little hesitant; the "I don't like jocks" thing is not really for me in a lot of sports romances, but I was pleasantly surprised that that aspect was over pretty fast. What really sold me on this was basically that Westly is a hot mess. You already get the impression in the previous installment that Westly is in way over his head with his siblings, and it worked there to emphasize Asher's hidden qualities because he was the one providing emotional and practical support to his siblings where from his perspective, Westly was mostly taking care of physical needs. In this book, it becomes apparent that Westly's really, really trying, he just doesn't know how, which is not at all surprising given the circumstances, and it's heartwarming to see how he improves with his siblings over the course of the book. It's also what makes the relationship with Jasper really work, because it's so clear that Jasper provides the emotional support Westly needs to be in a place to take care of others. The added sexual component of the caretaking also really worked for me, ngl. All in all, it's a very adult romance, which is maybe more telling about me as a reader, but there you go.
