Egotistical Puckboy

Puckboys, Book 1

De: Eden Finley, Saxon James

Narrado por: Iggy Toma, Alexander Cendese

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.

So good!!

Really great and fun story.
I loved the narrators. They were perfect for this story. Overall so good.

Love love love

I just love Ezra and Anton. I can’t get enough of them. Have read the book twice and now listened to the audio once.

Wonderful Start to a New Series!

I absolutely loved this story. I read this one out of order, I read the 2nd book first of this series first and before I read the CU Hockey Books which this basically spins off from so I wasn’t sure if I’d like Ezra but right from the beginning I adored him. It took me a little more time to love Anton cause even listening I was protective of Ezra’s feelings but I grew to love him as well, and I loved the banter between the two characters and how that stayed part of their relationship even as they progressed to falling in love. This was a wonderful start to a new series, even though I cheated with Book 2. I just loved the intro of the Queer Collective as a whole. Also I have to say the narration was perfect, they are two of my favorites especially together. Another great book from Eden Finley and Saxon James.

So much fun!

Iggy Toma and Alexander Cendese have moved to the top of the pack in narrating new adult m/m romances. Everything about this book will make you smile.

Great start to a series!!

I have no idea why I put this series off for so long. I’m so glad that I started it! I felt like there was more to Ezra from the CU hockey series. I was rooting for Ezra & Anton the entire time. The narration was wonderful too. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

Great!

Very funny and at the same time moving and beautiful. A totally man’s world. I loved that too.

Falling in love

Seemingly opposing personalities fall in love. Enjoyed the egotist's banter and sarcasm which was well presented by his voice. Anton's journey in coming out mirrored the trip many of us make.Listening is more enjoyable making EACH word a gem. Listen and enjoy.

That’s Boston Hockey, Baby!!

5 ⭐️ 4 🌶️

You had me at Boston hockey.

From the jump, Ezra and Anton serve up peak rivals to lovers energy: equal parts ego, sexual tension, and chirping that could start a brawl. Ezra is the out-loud and proud wildcard with zero filter and a flair for chaos, while Anton is all scowls, control, and hockey-first intensity. Their banter is brutal, their chemistry delicious, and their ability to deny their feelings? Absolutely pathetic. In the best way. You’ll be rooting for them even as they try to out-snark each other into oblivion.

But underneath all the snark and steam, there’s heart. The found family vibes? Chef’s kiss. Ezra brings the wild energy, Anton brings the grounding force, and together they figure out how to be more than just a headline or hookup. There’s growth, vulnerability, and enough emotional depth to keep you fully invested without ever losing the fun.

Don’t even get me started on the spice. It kicks in early and does not let up. If you like your romance fast, filthy, and full of feelings, this one’s a no-brainer. Puckboys brings the heat, the heart, and the hockey, all wrapped in sass and sweat. Anton and Ezra don’t just score, they leave a mark. I want an Ezra!!!

Fantastic!

Just finished the audio and it's even better the second time around! These 2 narrators are just pure gold for this book. So so good!

Oh I just loved everything about this! These authors just click together and create fabulous stories. We met Ezra in the CU series and I wanted his story. I just knew there was more beneath the surface to the egotistical, loud, unapologetic playboy. Enter Anton, rival hockey player. They really get under each other's skin and it was so much fun to watch them go from enemies, to friends, to lovers. Their barbs and quips had me laughing out loud. The banter was on point, the dialogue fantastic, and their chemistry explosive! I just enjoyed watching them slowly dance around their feelings and emotions as they started to pull back layers the more time they spent together. It was sweet, funny, and scorching hot too!
We also get to revisit with some friends from the CU series and get introduced to many new characters, so many of them with stories just waiting to be told! This was such a great book, I flew through it and enjoyed it from start to finish!

best narrator ever

I love Iggy Toma as a narrator, I listen to books just because he has done them. This book holds a special place in my heart and I love it. Both of the characters are flawed but that is what makes them so great.
