Wicked Sins #2
These Wicked Obsessions
Grey
When I got injured months ago, I thought it would be simple.
Rehab, Rest. Back on the ice.
Only that’s not how my life turned out.
No more traveling with my team.
No more drinks with the guys after a win.
No more hockey.
Now I’m stuck at home, bitter and broken, realizing the future I thought I’d have is gone. I know my anger hurts the people around me, but I just don’t care anymore.
About anything.
Then my sister hires Felix. He’s quiet and careful like he’s always walking on glass eggshells. I don’t want him here and I plan to push him away like everyone else.
I don’t need another witness to my worst days.
Felix is a mess from the start. He startles easily. Avoids my questions. He carries fear like a second skin.
Then the puzzle pieces start to fall in place and I don’t like the picture they’re creating.
Slowly my anger starts to soften. The silence feels less empty. More comfortable. My days feel survivable. My loneliness morphing into something else.
My injury stops feeling like a punishment.
These feelings are something I can’t fight. I don’t even want to.
With Oli and Andre’s wedding on the horizon, and Felix’s past refusing to stay buried, everything starts to unravel. The closer we get to happiness, the more it threatens to explode. I don’t know how to fix this, but I meant what I said to him.
No one gets to decide how he lives his life anymore.
Felix
This job isn’t a choice. It’s an escape.
When a caretaking job becomes available I know this is my shot. This job is temporary. Just get enough money to leave this state and disappear for good. It’s too perfect to pass up. A caretaking job in the middle of nowhere with free room and board.
Done.
I need the money and safety.
What I don’t need is a volatile hockey star angry at the world around him.
Grey is rough, stubborn, and terrifying in ways I understand too well.
As the weeks pass, Grey’s anger cracks. What’s underneath his hardened mask is a man mourning the life he used to have. He’s drowning in grief. I see the life he’s lost, and I want to help him rebuild it.
I know what it’s like to shrink yourself to survive.
We form a temporary truce and for the first time in a long time
I feel safe.
Seen.
I want him in ways I never planned, but my past is closing in and threatening the peace we’ve built. The fragile life I’m rebuilding begins to fracture.
I know how this ends. I knew he’d find me.
The only difference is this time I don’t want to run.
I want to fight.
I just don’t know if I can do it at Grey’s side.

These Wicked Obsessions - Sophie Quinn
5/5✨🌟
* SPOILERS *
Every single one of Sophie’s books I have loved more than the other and this one might be my favorite. I just love how she immediately sucks you into this world because I was not wanting to put this book down for any reason.
I just knew that Greyson and Felix were going to be so good together, especially with both of their own traumas that they are dealing with. I wanted to hit Greyson the first time he yelled at Felix, but I was here for it when he apologized.
I really loved Felix. From how he was able to get away from his abusive ex to find a safe space. When Greyson finds out, he will do anything and everything to protect Felix from harm’s way.
There is a tiny bit of miscommunication but it doesn’t last long and I am so glad about that. I can’t wait to see what Atlas’s story is going to be because I hope he gets the love story that he truly deserves.
I will say I just love these two and their dynamic whether it’s in the bedroom or just being there for one another. I just did not want this book to end and I was here for every sweet moment with these two.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

Arc - 4.8 stars ⭐️
Greyson is a stubborn man who is dealing with an injury that costed him his hockey career — Felix is a broken boy who saw an opportunity and took it to get out his abus!ve relationship.
OMGGG. What a beautiful, heartfelt and emotional read. (why do I keep doing this to myself?)
I loved seeing Felix reclaim his life, gaining confidence and learning it’s okay to take up space, put yourself first and to love again even if it’s scary. And I loved seeing his lil dom side when it came to his mountain of man Grey!PERIOD KING. OWN IT. 🤭 he’s so sweet and precious!!
Grey is still stubborn (when it comes to himself) but the love, care and compassion he had for Felix was absolutely worth the every emotional I was given.
I also can’t get over how Grey calls Felix Angel like PLSSS 😭🤍
Healing isn’t linear and this story betrayed that so well.

Another great read
This is another great edition to Sophie Quinn’s catalogue!
I have always appreciated the way she handles some of the darker elements of life with care and thoughtfulness and this is no different. This book is about two broken people fitting together, and it also allows Sophie Quinn’s ability to write character driven stories with deep emotionality to really shine.
I can’t wait for the next book!

Wow, wow, wow! I loved this book so freaking much.
Honestly going into it I was nervous because of Atlas in book 1. Iykyk. BUT I was so wrong and absolutely blown out of the water with this one.
Sophia knows to genre blend and I’ll explain what I mean in a bit.
The story follows Grey who recently had a career ending injury which cut his hockey career shorter than he planned. This puts him in a bad head space where he’s being an absolute ass to everyone around him. His sister is stressed to the bone trying to make a care taker work for Grey but they all turn out to be trash one way or another until Felix.
Felix is running away from a monster. He sees his opportunity and takes it by the throat and leaves his old life behind. This new job? Caring for an injured man who happens to be a massive jerk upon first impression. But, first impressions can sometimes be quite misleading.
Grey comes to realize quickly that Felix is someone who won’t screw him over and also someone who’s hiding a pretty big secret.
When that secret comes knocking and asking the wrong type of questions, Grey is forced to show Felix that he will protect those he’s cares about with his life.
The spice in this book was soo good! It was hot and emotional and I loved the bigger bottom/smaller too vibes. I don’t read many of those books but the empowering vibes were melting off the page. I loved it!! 3.75/5 🌶️ and a medium burn 🔥.
This was a sports romance with hurt/comfort as well as an almost suspense/thriller vibe with the secondary plot with Steven. It was always lurking in the background and it kept me turning the pages hour after hour trying to figure out what would happen. Honestly, I didn’t see the big “twist” coming. I just assumed the standard deal. Again, iykyk. I don’t want to give anything away!
All I can say is do yourself a favor and pick up this book! Book one was good too but this one is even better!
Thank you to the author and publisher for the ARC! All thoughts are my own

Review of advance copy received from Author
5+ stars
I’ll be honest, after the intense emotions in Oli and Andre’s book – it very much was Wrath – I was curious as to whether the emotion would be able to hit as hard in this one. And in short, it absolutely did! This book surpassed my expectations. I so loved Grey and Felix as a couple; they made me feel so many feels!
Reeling from his accident and subsequent injury, Grey is stagnating, struggling to recover and accept the news of his forced retirement from the sport that has always taken priority in his life. He’s frustrated and lost, pushing away his loved ones and firing every one of his caretakers until Felix comes along.
Escaping from a horrendous home life, Felix is excited for the freedom he now has, even if it comes with an angry ex-hockey player…
These men 🥹 Both hurting in their own ways, and both needing someone to bring light back into their lives. I loved how quickly they became a strong unit, and how they both appreciated spending time together doing simple things. They don’t need big gestures, don’t need big outings, no; instead, they are happiest spending time together at home.
Oh, sweet Felix. He’s adorable, like I-want-to-squeeze-his-cheeks-adorable, but he’s also gutsy and I adored that he manages to get under Grey’s skin immediately. I was so impressed by Felix. He comes so far in a relatively short time. His bravery, his courage – just such an awesome character! I loved that he also did things that surprised me: taking a firm hand with Grey to get him to concentrate on his recovery and making the first move, for example. And wait until you get to the spicy scenes…
As we learn more about the truth about Grey’s past, we get to know the real him, and I loved peeling back the layers. He’s stubborn as a mule, yes, but he’s also such a kind man and it becomes clear how important his family and friends are to him. I mean the man will dress up as a Disney princess for his niece, and that says so much in my book! The image he described made me crack up!
These characters’ pain felt very raw and very real, affecting them both so deeply. I loved watching them heal together. Felix helps Grey realise that there’s life after hockey, becoming the special person the ex-hockey star has always longed for, while Grey helps Felix find safety and a person to call home. I really loved that ending for them.
The found family in this is also amazing, even if things get a bit complicated with Atlas, who does manage to cause some angst for Grey and Felix. Poor Atlas. He does make a mess of things in this book, but my heart does ache for him. I so want to see him get his happy ending. I also loved the teasers between the other captain, Knox, and Colton.
This is a great hockey series. I can’t wait for what’s next!

Some of my favourite quotes
I want someone to love me. Really love me. I want someone to treat me like I’m their whole world.
“Hey now, I am an uncle. I’m not just a pretty face who can fill out a purple shell bra. I have many talents. I know my way around a box of cake mix.”
If I had to describe Grey in one word, it would be “warmth.” Warm arms. Warm heart. Warm demeanor, when he gets his way at least.
“I don’t give a shit about any of it. You hear me? I just give a shit about you.”
“You never have to be afraid with me.”
“I want a kiss?” “Then take it like you own me.”
“I mean it. This is your new life. No one is going to tell you how to live it, what to do. Nothing. You are in control.”
“You deserve to be happy. With me, not with me, it doesn’t matter, Felix. All I want is for you to be happy. You deserve that. That’s all I want.”
He’s everything I’ve been waiting for. He’s my burst of sunlight in a dark forest.
“What do you want? You want me to say that you’re mine? Because you are mine. If you want to be.” “I do. I do want that.”
“No amount of love Grey can give you can ever replace the love you give yourself.”
“You know what I love? I love how caring you are. How you light up when you try new things. I love the way you laugh, especially when I’m being stubborn as hell.”
“I love how much light is in your eyes. I love how alive you’ve become. It shines through you.”
“You’re so beautiful like this. Your body is made for mine. Mine to take care of. This is where I belong, Grey.”
“Before you moved in, I felt like my life was over. Now I feel like it’s a new beginning.”
Felix is everything I never thought to look for. His quiet peace lulls my heart to rest. He is comfort wrapped in a beautiful package.
Grey has given me power. Not power over him, because even though he submits to me, it’s a consensual balance that feels so right. He’s shown me the power in myself. He’s given me the space to figure out what I like and what I don’t while sharing parts of himself with me.
I’m not sure I believe in soulmates, but I can safely say that Grey is the person I’m supposed to be with. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt, and I don’t think I’ll experience something this incredible ever again.
“No one is ever going to take you anywhere you don’t want to go. Nobody. You’re free.”

Review of advance copy received from Author
This series is fast becoming one of my favourites and this is only book two, much like book one I couldn't put this down and it consumed my whole day!
Sophie's writing is always filled with so much emotion that it hits every part of you. This book was raw, painful and yet so freaking beautiful. I love a broken boy and the two in this book pulled at my every heart string especially Felix, she writes her characters with so many layers of depth I can't even explain it.
This book was honestly gripping. It has characters you wanted to wrap in your arms and protect at all costs. Sweet moments that were so endearing you melted. Felix's journey of healing helps him finally discover the person he is and Greys is one of truly learning to trust. The book has an element of suspense throughout that had me a nervous wreck throughout that added a whole other layer of the experience this book gave me. Previous characters were woven throughout the book, it wasn't just a short appearance and l loved how ingrained in each other's lives this friend group is. The book was incredibly well paced and realistic.
The book follows Grey an injured nhl player struggling to come to terms with his career ending in the worst way along with other aspects of his life changing and Felix who takes the job to be Greys caretaker as it provides the perfect escape from the hell he is living with. Both boys are broken and trying to heal from the traumas throughout their lives.
❤️ This book has trigger a trigger warning and for your own mental health please read it. This book has a heavy theme of domestic abuse.
I was gifted an arc copy of this book and have chosen to write a review based on my love for the book.

Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
This is the kind of story that emotionally rearranges you and then leaves you staring at the wall for an hour after, wondering who you even are anymore. 😭 And somehow… I read it in one day.
Greyson is drowning… in grief, in bitterness, in the crushing weight of a career-altering injury that stole the life he wasn’t ready to give up. He’s pushing everyone away, sabotaging his own recovery, and clinging to the ghost of who he used to be.
And then there’s Felix.
Felix is running from a past that left invisible bruises everywhere. He’s fresh out of an abusive relationship, anxious, easily startled, and just trying to feel safe again. He takes the job as Grey’s caregiver as his escape. He’s quiet and fragile in so many ways… but also unbelievably strong.
This story wrecked me. I cried so hard at times I had to physically put the book down because I couldn’t see through my tears. Watching Grey and Felix slowly, painfully heal alongside each other was one of the most beautiful things I’ve read this year. Felix coming back to life under Grey’s gentleness wrecked me. It was really something else watching Grey decide consciously to be someone safe.
Not just softer. Not just kinder.
Safe.
He didn’t just fall in love with Felix. He chose to be better for him. He chose to fight for his freedom. To make sure no one ever controlled him again. There was something so powerful about seeing a man who felt powerless in his own life become unwavering and steady for someone else.
This was a hard read for me emotionally… and it’s also my favorite book of the year. Devastating, tender, and ultimately about finding yourself again after you think you’ve lost everything.

These Wicked Obsessions by @sophiequinnwrites
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hands down, easyyyyyy
This is the second book in the Wicked Sins series. We follow Grey, who you first met in These Wicked Games, and probably already have a soft spot for, but now we also get Felix. Sweet baby Felix 🥹
I love these men and the world this story created. Do I want to pack up my bags and move into Grey’s home immediately? Yesssss without hesitation 😏😉
Grey is mourning the life he thought he lost after a serious injury takes him out of the only thing he has ever known, hockey 🏒 Meanwhile, Felix is quite literally running for a new beginning, chasing the freedom and safety he has always deserved.
There is so much on the line for both of them. For Grey, it is acceptance, sanity, and rebuilding his mental health and strength. For Felix, it is safety, trust, and finally choosing himself.
The attraction is absolutely there 🔥 But can Felix let his guard down enough to go after what he truly wants?
And when I tell you this was a slow burn… it burned me in the best way ❤️🔥
A heart racing story that tackles real, sensitive issues that far too many people unfortunately experience. Please check the trigger warnings as this one can be heavy ⚠️
Oli, Andre, and Atlas are still steady and are just as present and impactful in this book. You also get a brief peek into the depth of what Grey’s bestie Atlas is truly going through, adding another emotional layer to the story. Seeing Grey’s sister Alyssa and Landon throughout the book made the world feel even more complete. And can we talk about how precious little Lianna is?! 🥹
This story left a lump in my throat toward the end because I was so emotionally invested in these men that their wins felt personal!🫶🏽❤️
I am so proud of both Grey and Felix and everyone needs to read this to truly understand what I mean, because I am not even doing this story justice!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hands down, easyyyyyy
This is the second book in the Wicked Sins series. We follow Grey, who you first met in These Wicked Games, and probably already have a soft spot for, but now we also get Felix. Sweet baby Felix 🥹

“You know, for the longest time I’ve had to stay silent. Not ask too much. Not be too loud. It’s taken my brain some time to realize it’s okay for me to take up space again.”
Grey got injured and unable to play hockey anymore and he's taking it out of the people around him. He needed a caregiver stat, and his sister brought Felix. However, Felix is also fighting his own demons, fled an abusive relationship and in hiding.
Sophie broke my heart and stitched it together.
I knew going in that this contains triggering content, but I didn't expect how it gripped me to the point that I cried.
I love both characters, they were flawed and complex, having all these emotions that no person should ever go through, but they were strong, resilient to the point they started healing together. It was honestly beautiful to read.
The relationship was a slow burn, which is a good thing considering the circumstance they are in, but it was also fragile and handled with care.
“Have you ever seen Criminal Minds?”
“No!”
“Look up Spencer Reid. Same vibes. Trust me.”
I appreciate the author in how she wrote the triggering scenes, and I thought it was handled really well.
I might read the next one in the series, and need to read some more Sophie Quinn's books.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Felix is looking for a fresh start to escape his dangerous past. Applying as a live-in caregiver is the exact push he needed to put his abusive relationship in his rear view. Little did he know that being a caregiver for an ex-hockey player would lead to a love he never saw coming.
Grey is trying to accept his new reality. When he experiences a career ending injury he becomes unbearable to be around until Felix comes into his life as the new caregiver.
Felix and Grey slowly turn a working relationship into a friendship over evening talks sharing their vulnerability around a fire to developing feelings for each other. Grey knows that Felix is guarded and is running from his past. He wants nothing more than to protect Felix, ensuring he would never ever hurt him and will stop at nothing to make sure that Felix feels protected and loved. I adore Felix and Grey's relationship. Their slow burn romance was so beautiful to read. Grey has always felt that he had to be strong and take care of everyone. With Felix, he is able to slowly let his guard down and let someone finally take care of him. Plus having the loyal found family of Andre, Atlas and Oli added into the plot was pure perfection. I absolutely loved this book. I can't wait for Atlas' HEA!

REVIEW OF ADVANCE COPY
“No, no. I’m um, just helping him while he gets better.”
Her eyes narrow. “He looks at you like you’re his boyfriend.”
I’m a sucker for an emotional roller coaster of feelings in a book however, this one just took my breath away. So many tears were shed.
Greyson, after sustaining a career altering hockey injury, is a bitter depressed man firing caregiver and nurse alike from his home. It isn’t till his sister, at her wits end, that he decides to give the 10th and final caregiver a chance. The first meeting didn’t go well and after sitting down with his new caregiver he sets some rules out. It isn’t till Grey puts his new, and very drunk, caregiver to bed that he realizes that something is wrong.
Felix, escaping an abusive relationship, takes the opportunity to leave and find freedom. With so much trauma and trepidation he finds himself in close proximity to Greyson, whom is just handsome and a little scary but a total sweetheart. With Greyson, he learns what freedom and control is.
With both dealing with their own traumas they find love in each other’s arms, and Greysons bed.

“No one is ever going to take you anywhere you don’t want to go. Nobody. You’re free.”
Grey & Felix have my whole heart ❤️
I didnt think anyone could top Jamie and Noah but these 2 came so close!!!
I loved how sweet and caring Felix was and I absolutely loved that he had a kinky side to him 😍 Grey was grumpy but with cause, he was going through a lot emotionally and physically and he needed time to adjust..
Felix was exactly what Grey needed and viceversa. They helped each other heal and more than that they found love and understanding in one another. I had all the feels, I felt both their pain and trauma.
Felix was such a strong person, he realized he deserved better and got away from a bad situation even though it took him a while he fought to save himself. Grey was perfect! He didnt take over or try to tell Felix what to do, he gave him space,time and a safe place to come to. He supported him in every way.
My heart hurt for sweet baby Atlas and I cannot wait for him to get his happy ending..
“Just wait, Felix. I’m going to be the best for you.”

I was torn on a 5 star rating because I struggled with Felix's lack of PTSD processing and portrayal as someone with it but of course everyone processes differently. The climax and such seemed a little more out of left field and dramatic than necessary but I was on edge waiting most of the story about what would come. It made the relationship development beautiful if not a touch fast given the situation.
Now Grey, oh he was my favorite. I related just as much and the character development was beautiful from start to finish! It felt so real and how it ended was perfect for him! I loved it so much and was so happy for him. The confusing dramatic situation with his best friend was exactly what the story needed to. Another reasonable and surprising development that ended in a natural outcome. Sad, but very real. All the found family vibes were wonderful too.
In the end, Grey, the disability rep and fact I would read it again sold me on a earned 5 star rating, leaving me feeling satisfied. I'd recommend!

Broken Hockey Star Meets a Survivor — And It’s Beautifully Messy
Grey and Felix absolutely wrecked me in the best way.
Grey is a former hockey star whose injury took away the life he thought he’d always have. He’s bitter, angry, and pushing everyone away — until Felix shows up as his caretaker. Felix is quiet, skittish, and clearly running from something, carrying trauma that shows up in every little movement and reaction. Watching these two slowly circle each other, learning how to exist in the same space, was honestly the heart of this story.
What I loved most was the emotional depth. Grey’s grief over losing hockey felt raw and real, and Felix’s trauma was handled with a lot of care. Their relationship builds slowly from uneasy roommates to something protective and deeply tender. The way Grey begins to soften around Felix, realizing he wants to protect him rather than push him away, made the romance feel earned.
I also loved seeing familiar faces like Oli and Andre pop in with the wedding happening in the background—it added a nice sense of community and continuity.

💙ARC REVIEW💙
Loved loved loved it! Gosh. Get ready to fall in love with Greyson and Felix. They truly captivate you and Sophie makes you feel like you are in the story. This is a heavy emotional and sweet love story.
Greyson is a complicated character who has suffered a hockey injury and has to come to terms with his life as he knows it changing. Boy does he struggle with this. However, watching him blossom into this new version of himself was touching.
Felix.. man I love Felix. He went through years of horrible things happening to him, and he takes this job as a last ditch effort, and it was the best decision he could have made. You will be mad at Greyson a few times for Felix’s sake, but he redeems himself.
WHAT TO EXPECT
* Strangers to lovers
* Touch him and die
* Hurt Comfort
* Slow burn
* Domestic violence
* Forced Proximity
* All The Angst
* Hockey Romance
* HEA
Cheating: No
Third-act breakup: No (not really)
POV: Dual POV (First Person POV)

ARC READ: I’m going to start out by saying Sophie Quinn is one of my top favorite authors. I found her this past fall and I’m so glad I did. Her writing is fantastic. I love the stories of all of her characters and the depth of them. Each one overcoming obstacles that life has thrown at them.
My sweet sweet Felix. Ugh he is such a beautiful soul that just wants someone to notice him and have some sort of affection in his life. My heart hurt for the stuff he had to endure for years and the gaslighting, among a lot of other things.
I just wanted to give him a hug.
Grey is a teddy bear deep down with a hard shell. He cares deeply and he struggles to navigate a life without hockey being his everything.
These two balance each other in such a unique way and I loved every second of it. I don’t want to give too much away but this story is a beautiful story about surviving, finding yourself, healing, self love, found family and rebuilding.
Welcome to Grey & Felix’s story

How sweet are these two!!! I HATE what brought Felix to Grey but I do love that they came together! Felix was adorable and Grey was a grumpy sweetheart. I loved how their relationship developed and how Grey was willing to let Felix take the lead and set the pace. Not only due to his personal preference but because he wanted Felix to feel safe and in control. Grey and Felix having been witness to and survivors of DV gave one another an understanding of how to communicate and respond in situations between them and I liked seeing this. I also enjoyed the sweet moments between them such as fishing, nights by the fire, hockey games and new journals. I love the found family in this series and sweet baby Atlas needs his HEA! This was a great read with hard moments.

Okay going in blind to books is my new favorite thing. I read the tropes and was like yup I’ll like this and completely ignored the blurb, I’ve never been happier for going about it that way. Felix is so freaking precious and resilient, he’s an amazing MMC. Grey I started off a bit iffy on but he’s the biggest teddy bear whose love knows no bounds. The way Grey helps Felix feel safe and confident in himself again had my heart melting. The love and care they have for each other was everything. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to reach through my phone and strangle a character more than I did with Steven, Sophie did an amazing job at writing a truly evil character. The more we learned about him I just became more and more horrified. It was a hard earned HEA and I couldn’t get enough. Fingers crossed that the next book is based around Atlas, that poor broken boy deserves to find love!😭
March 25, 2026
The first book in the series I loved it so much. And I'm also excited for Atlas's book.
Unfortunately, as excited as I was for this one, as disappointed I am after finishing it. It would need some extra editing as there are phrases that don't make sense or wrongly written words. I loved Grey and Atlas's friendship in the first book and even if Grey had a different love interest here, I was hoping to see more of these two because I really liked their friendship. I could not see or feel any romantic connection between Grey and Felix and something didn't click for me with these two. Felix's story was really sad and it was good that his aggressor got his punishment in the end. I skipped a lot through the book just because I still wanted to finish it and see if Atlas's book is the next. I enjoyed the few appearances Oli and Andre made in this one.

LOVED IT!
This is a domestic violence centric book so be mindful if this is a trigger for you.
We met Grey in book 1 of this series. He’s is a MC injured h okey player. His sister Landon’s gf hires Felix who is escaping a horrible domestic violence and sexually abusive monster.
This is a very slow burn and you will be so mad at Greyson a few times, but the he’s just a beautiful teddy sweet teddy bear.
I read this book in a day and stayed up all night because it’s so addicting and so good!
Ex-hockey star with a career ending injury
A Caretaker running from danger
Forced proximity
White knight energy
Protective rage & soft touches
Trauma healing & found safety
Slow burn that turns way too hot
"I'd never hurt you"
Late night vulnerability
When comfort becomes

Good story that needs some editing
I really enjoy Sophie Quinn’s books. She consistently comes up with interesting concepts, and I especially love the idea of a series centered around the seven deadly sins. That said, this one could have benefited from stronger editing.
There were a few minor spelling errors, but what pulled me out of the story more was the repetition. Certain details were repeated almost back-to-back, sometimes within the same scene. For example, we’re told the hotel rooms share an adjoining door, and then it’s explained again shortly after. Moments like that made the writing feel less polished than I expected.
Overall, still an engaging concept and an author I enjoy, but this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

ADVANCE READING COPY REVIEW💫
Felix and Greyson have my heart.
This book was an emotional roller coaster for me. Felix coming into Grey's life at the most perfect moment. The blossoming of their relationship was so beautiful and the way they were able to heal each other was amazing. They are both at an impasse in their life and coming together to have a fresh start. Felix is the sweetest soul but has this fantastic dominant side that he's finally able to explore and feel safe doing so. I just love the two of them.
Atlas's side story was one that broke my heart. I hope we get a closer look at his life and one that ends with him finally getting his happy ending.💛

If anyone wanted Grey and Atlas to end up together, it was me.
But God, that would have been such a mistake. Because Grey and Felix were just so perfect together. And Atlas… sweet Atlas 🥺 my heart broke for that boy.
Just like it did for Felix and everything he had to go through.
The way Grey started walking the path of healing beside Felix, and how Felix, next to Grey, began to bloom too—healing, maybe even gaining a little more confidence…
Ahh. These two boys… God 🥹
I loved every single minute of it.
And now I’m going to start counting the minutes until I finally get Atlas’s story.
Thank you, Sophie, for the ARC 🥰

Where do I begin with this one? Grey and Felix were made for one another in this story. Grey was angry at first, but Felix calmed him down after a few tries. It was heartbreaking what happened to Felix and his ex, which, I am glad, they sorted out, and Grey calmed Felix. The romantic scenes between Felix and Grey did fill me with joy because they were so cute together! The author did a wonderful job capturing the feelings of heartbreak and healing. Grey's friends were always there, trying to cheer up Grey with laughter, which made me laugh a few times. I am excited to read more by Sophie. Great Job!

Everything Sophie writes is a hit with me. Grey is dealing with his life altering injury, he's pissed at the world and being rude to everyone. Felix is his new caregiver with secrets of his own. He's running from an abusiv.e relationship. Both feel a pull towards each other and as they get closer as friends, they realize how much more they both want. Grey helps Felix feel safe and supported. Felix makes sure Grey is taking care of himself. Their chemistry was felt on every page. I loved seeing the rest of the Otters, their friendship group is amazing and so supportive of each other.

This author just has a talent with creating fantastic stories with beautiful characters. Grey gets a life changing injury, which causes him so much pain and resentment towards life. Felix is hired to care for him. These two, I loved watching them get close to each other. They are both pieces of a puzzle that fit so well. Just a good read! This is an ARC review.

I loved the story about Oli and Andre. But, Grey and Felix??? That brought tears to my eyes. I felt for Felix. What he was going through. No one deserves that at all. Grey and Felix just fit right. They were made for each other. I can’t wait for book 3. I’m hoping it Atlas. I would love to learn more about him.

Looks like I'm the odd one out on this one. It was definitely a sweet romance, and there was a lot of feeling and hurt which is something I just absolutely adore. There were just some things that didn't quite work with me.
