AHHH this is *such* a good end to the CU Hockey series! I'm so happy we get to read West's story & see his happy ending <3 

Some specifics I loved:
  • SO MUCH family included. Jasper was great about West having a passel of kids to raise, respectful of West's boundaries, and so good with the kids when he got to the stage of spending time with them
  • The entirety of Jasper's high school reunion is *chef's kiss*
  • I love the way Jasper and West's relationship progresses, the mini missteps and the way they come together. West doesn't have a lot of free time, but Jasper is super understanding and makes the best of the time West does have, and goes out of his way to show West affection without crossing boundaries with the family.
  • Jasper's best friend Dave is hilarious, a meddling gay, & a great supporting character
  • There were so many specific scenes I loved, but I'm not going to spoil it, so just go read them all :)
