This book has been calling to me since it came out months ago (again with me trying to avoid the angst, but like... Never mind, you'll see what I mean). Saxon James and Eden Finely teamed up (yet again) on the fabulous Puckboy series. The third installment is titled "Shameless Puckboy."
["OSKAR
It might have been a stunt to get the attention of Lane Pierce, San Jose’s new PR manager, but I didn’t realize what the consequences would be when I did it. I’ve got Lane’s sole focus now in all the wrong ways.
He has designated himself as my babysitter, and while it’s fun messing with him, being bound by curfews and rules has never worked for me.
The more I push back, the more I realize what’s really on the line. My career, my future, and maybe even my heart.
LANE
Being appointed head of San Jose’s PR department was a dream come true … until I met Oskar Voyjik.
He may be San Jose royalty, but with the stunts Oskar’s been pulling, the team owner is down to his last thread of patience. Which puts me in the firing line. If I can’t turn Oskar’s entitled party boy image around, we’ll both be shown the door.
I have free rein to do whatever it takes, and it turns out whatever it takes is Oskar.
Only, the more entangled our lives become, the more I see the Oskar he’s buried deep down. The one who hurts, the one who’s sensitive and kind, the one … the one I think I’m falling for.
I can’t have him and my career, and if rumors of the professional lines I’ve crossed get out, it’s not only my dream job I can kiss goodbye; I’ll be disgraced from professional sports completely."]
I literally...no words for this book. I thought I knew where this book was going and how Lane would "handle" Oskar (and okay, I was right about that), but holy. shit. The emotions and the angst and the mutual pining and the emotions and the angst (there was a lot of emotions and angst, okay?!).
Lane is attracted to men who are secretly sad inside, need "fixed", and can be vulnerable (Oskar). Oskar is attracted to...well a lot, but deep down he needs (and wants) someone who can see him for him and not the persona, someone who can take care of him, someone who won't judge him (Lane).
Except, there's all of this double-meaning shit and saying one thing but meaning the other, and its fucking up their communication and making the falling in love harder, and UGH.
Of course, they made it there (obviously), but there was a little more (or a lot--I might have sobbed) drama (and emotion and angst) before they get to the HEA.
