Foolish Puckboy (Puckboy series #4)

Trying to (slowly) catch up on some of my TBR piles...trying being the key word here. This is "Foolish Puckboy," the fourth book in the Puckboys series by the fabulous Eden Finley and magnificent Saxon James.

["ALEKS
After my divorce, I’m ready to have fun, date around, and not get into anything serious. Then I meet Gabe Crosby, superhero firefighter and a disgrace to the Crosby name. He doesn’t even like hockey!
Yet, there’s a draw to him I can’t deny—something I haven’t felt since my teens. But that’s the problem. I have no idea what dating is like, let alone how to do it with another man. He makes me flakey and nervous, and I’ve never been that guy.
Gabe turns me inside out and upside down in the best possible ways. I only recently became single, but if I continue to chase after him, I might not stay that way for long.

GABE
When I meet Aleksander Emerson during an emergency call-out, there are three things that catch my attention: his sexy tattoos, his kind eyes, and his drunken offer to have my babies.
He’s new to Seattle and recently divorced, so I take him under my wing–and under my sheets. I’m showing him what the world of hookups is like, only those hookups turn into sleepovers and dates and public displays of jealousy.
Aleks is in his casual era, and I’m working my way toward settling down and starting a family. What the two of us have is fun, but not a good idea permanently.
Too bad Aleks has already set my life on fire."]

The angst in this one was a rollercoaster. Nothing, then pan-panic. Nothing, then mutual pining. Nothing, then "feelings" anxiety. Nothing, then jealousy (which sorta helped). Nothing, then commitment fears slash what's-the-future-look-like-to-you slash scary L word. 

But the fluff and the steam and all of the friends (from the Queer Collective to Gabe's firefighter found-family) helped ease the angst. Mostly. I still didn't breathe quiet often (fun. times.). But seriously, the fluff and the nicknames and the casual touch love language and just D: 

These two are dangerous with their words (these two being Eden and Saxon--I'll forever be dedicated to their work, even if it makes me cry).
