A rebel, hockey star, geeky girl, and coach are in a series of convoluted relationships / friendships. There is an openly gay character, a happily bi character, a v1rg1n, and a character who isn't sure what their role in life is right now.  Their feelings for each other are messy. Their living situations and life circumstances are complicated and I am HERE FOR IT! I fell in love with all four main characters almost instantly. Even when you want to hate them, you can't and you end up rooting for them.

It's challenging to say much about the story without giving away part of the plot, so I'll stick to the basics. Story had excellent banter between the MCs. Ashton made me literally LOL. The spicy scenes were relatively few but excellently done. I enjoyed the story's pacing and didn't want to put the book down. 

Book 1 ends on a cliffhanger, so I am super excited to jump straight into book 2, Bound Together.
