Hat Trick (Fake Boyfriend Book 5)

Summary: Jet and Soren had a memorable night together, but Jet was starting his first concert tour and Soren had an opportunity to get back together with the boyfriend he’d thought he’d lost by being in the closet. Now, seeing each other for the first time in two years, both men are on an island vacation with their found family who’ve all found love except for the two of them who are both nursing broken hearts and lingering feelings about each other.‘“You’re two of my best friends. It’d be cool. I mean, I will miss you when Matt and Noah hire a hitman to take you out, but until then, it’ll be good for both of you.”’‘“We kinda, sorta, might’ve, maybe hooked up three years ago and never told you guys,” Jet says. “And now we have this second chance, so we’re taking it.”’“He pulls me close. There is absolutely no better feeling than being in Soren’s arms. Not eighteen thousand fans screaming for more or the adrenaline of being in front of a large crowd. Not even coming home to Matt and Noah after a long tour and getting a good night’s sleep. The best feeling in the world is Soren.”Review: I think Deke is still my favorite of this series, but Hat Trick comes in a close second. I really love Soren and Jet and the way they relate to each other. In some ways they have a much more complicated relationship than any of the other guys. With each of them coming off of failed relationships, they carry baggage and guilt that’s not easy to let go of—especially for Jet. I found his relationship with Harley surprisingly deep and complicated emotionally. I also really appreciate that this is not only low angst, but also low drama. Things happen that could easily be played up for conflict’s sake, but it’s not. Finely lets their issues and work situations do the heavy lifting in terms of drama and conflict, and it’s enough. The story is fully compelling. ** Possibly Spoilery**One of the things that made me not give the story 5 stars is that while I love that Jet and Harley finally have a real conversation about what happened between them, and I love how it is resolved in a way that humanizes Harley enough that now I want to read his story to make sure he ends up okay, the scene also feels a little too fast. Also, while I’m not at all diminishing Jet’s feelings for Soren, I was still left with the sense that Jet may not have completely resolved his feelings for Harley—it felt a little like he was trying to rationalize away how deeply he cared for Harley. I would have rather him say that his feelings were real but he was too hurt by what happened to continue or that they were real, but ultimately not sustainable.Overall, I really loved Jet and Soren. And I adore the gay brigade. I’m so glad we get glimpses of them in other books too—like the Puckboys books, and in Football Royalty and Can’t Say Goodbye.

I absolutely loved Soren and Jet. They were such an unlikely pair and yet worked so well together. Soren was so honest and enamored with Jet who was a lonely soul who had never been wanted till he was famous. I loved them.

I have been waiting on this book since soren was first introduced and I’m so happy to read it now. It was so cute. I wish he won the cup but wtvr. I am so glad they don’t have crazy blow up fights or major misunderstandings that goes on for weeks with them being miserable like in a lot of modern books. This series has more normal and real life-like relationships which makes it more enjoyable.

Nice about overprotective brothers, mistakes made with the right thing in mind. Past present and futureBeing the one person that sees you

I absolutely loved the entire Fake Boyfriends series, but this book is the leader by a mile. I could feel their longing and love through the pages. Totally obsessed with Jet and Soren!!!

This is…yesSoren and JetI love them. My babies!This series was an amazing read.Eden Finley thank you for the wholesome and heartbreak and laughs.

okay

Jet und Soren waren ein zuckersüßes und heißes Team und haben ihr perfektes Happy End bekommen 🥰! Die Rückblenden in dem Buch waren eine willkommene Abwechslung zu den anderen Teilen und haben dazu beitragen, dass man die beiden Protagonisten und die Beziehung zwischen ihnen noch besser versteht! Ich fand es sehr schön, dass es, nachdem Jet und Soren zusammengekommen sind, keine großen Trennungen oder Streitereien gab. Die beiden haben sich gegenseitig unterstützt und offen miteinander kommuniziert🥰. Eine wirklich sehr schöne Liebesgeschichte mit einem tollen Ende ❤️

I don't know why I waited so long to read this book.It was amazing. Soren and Jet's story was sweet, loving, full of heartbreak and heat and I devoured it.These two are amazing and they have to fight for what they want, make compromises and learn to live with what they have and what they want and its amazing.The ending was perfect and it made me sad to see this series ending.

Also one of my favourite, Jet and Caleb are so so so cute !! Love a good music star romance, especially with a hockey player (and it’s also the beginning of the Famous series ❤️). Ready for a second chance love story, three years after their first hookup, they’re finally reunited in Fiji and it’s time to put everything on the table and to truly start something. To show his support, Caleb decides to follow Jet on tours and to help him rebound after his breakup, and they had to fall for each other !! Jet was and will always be Caleb’s hat trick 😍This book is amazing as we discover their relationship but we also saw glimpses of the others characters life and they live their HEA !!
