Synopsis:

 Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world. 

As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life.  On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen-year-old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it. They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to. 

In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke’s Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It’s there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money-hungry divorcee who I don’t want anywhere near my sister. Janelle insists I’m completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding myself that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits. 

Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she really is—an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger. I have to admit, we’re more alike than not and the attraction between us burns hot. 

Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book for review from InkSlinger PR and the author. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

Book Blurb:

Jett Olsson isn’t looking for anything serious and she’s not looking for anything at all, so why does it seem so hard to keep it professional? I love my life—the thrill of being on the ice as part of the Arizona Vengeance, the rush of winning, the adoration of the fans. And if that adoration means I don’t have to spend the night alone, well even better. I’m content being single and always ready to mingle. But the day Emory Holland walks into a Vengeance team meeting my attention is caught like never before. I can tell right away she’s full of smarts and sass, and the fact that she’s hot as hell sure doesn’t hurt either. She immediately shuts down my advances, so I opt for the road less traveled—straight to the friend zone. My approach works like a charm, and when she invites me into her bed for a no-strings, friends-with-benefits arrangement, I vow to give her everything I have. She’s been hurt before, and if I’m able to help her heal while giving her a spectacularly satisfying time *pats self on back*, then I’ll be happy. Or at least that’s the lie I keep telling myself as the time ticks down on the final buzzer of our “relationship”. Now the real question is, can I score the winning goal in a game neither of us realized we were playing?

My Thoughts:

Jett is a really good friend – one I wouldn’t mind having in my corner.  He gives you the impression that he would stay a bachelor but anyone can change.  Emory’s job is all about image and numbers.  But as you meet her family you’ll realize that image has a whole different meaning at home. 

 

Our author has written this story so that if you are just discovering the Arizona Vengeance team then you’ll be happy to know that you can start here.  Then once you meet some of Jett’s teammates, you may find that you want to know more.  This may be a sports romance but you don’t have to love hockey in order to enjoy getting to know our main characters. Ms. Bennett even found a way of mentioning one of her other series.  She knows when a twist is needed to keep her readers attention so skipping ahead is highly discouraged. 

 

Men have one persona when they are on the ice and they have a different persona that they show to family and friends.  But Jett surprises himself on how he slowly changes once he’s met Emory and those in her world.  One of the author’s secondary characters grabbed at my heart and she’s someone that is special to Emory.  I’m hoping I’ll get to see her once I get to the next book in the series.  This story has a lot of heart, some hurt, and love that will shine through. And even I fell in love.  Oh, I can’t forget the steam.

I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising". 

A second chance may be just what James Steele needs… 

Synopsis:

I might be one of the older players on the Arizona Vengeance, but I like to think that also makes me one of the wisest. Or at least I used to. 

Turns out, I’ve been a bit selfish. I’ve been married to hockey and my team for years, which hasn’t left much time for my actual wife, Ella. Now I’m juggling a separation I never wanted, the pressure of being a single dad to our teenage daughter, and the career I sacrificed it all for. 

While my game on the ice might be on fire, the game in my personal life is clearly lacking, as evidenced by the fact I just saw my wife on a date with another man. If I have any hope of saving the family I love, I need to re-prioritize, and fast. So it’s time for me to get back to fundamentals, just like I did when I learned how to play hockey. I’ve never backed down from a challenge, and romancing my wife is a challenge I am very much looking forward to. 

Time to put on my game face, because I’m in it to win it.

My Thoughts:

Steele wants to go back to the way things used to be.  But there are times when you can’t.  It’s a goal to have as long as you don’t repeating past mistakes.  Ella knows that her life is going to be a little confusing/crazy for a little while.   

 

Our author creates some scenes where things felt so realistic.  She’ll make you feel as if you are in the background watching things as they unfold.  She’s also very good at showing how different men and women think.  Sometimes crazy ideas can form when suggestions are made.  But once in a while something good can come out it that will get you thinking - some things are just worth fighting for.  

 

What lengths are you willing to go to in order to right a wrong?  Are you willing to meet someone half way?  These are questions that also lend to a sense of realism where the characters are concerned.  It shows that even though some men have an unconventional profession, that doesn’t mean they can’t be very smart – a little slow maybe but smart all the same. 

 

There are times when I might suggest setting some ambiance as you read.  But this is not the year to follow that thought.  For this year, it might be better to either use your imagination or watch some hockey on TV. 

 

You may not realize it at the time but the author sets the reader up for the next book in the series.  By the time you have that light bulb moment, she’ll have you on tenterhooks until next year.  But you can never go wrong in checking out some of her other series.

Kane 

Arizona Vengeance, Book #8

Sawyer Bennett

Release Date: September 15, 2020

Synopsis:

Are you ready for Kane Bellan’s story?
I have a problem.
Potential problem?
I’m not really sure. Here’s the deal.
There’s this girl—isn’t that how it always starts?—and her name is Mollie. I like her. I mean really like her. I hope that doesn’t make me seem less manly than my professional hockey player persona implies. But here’s the issue—she’s my best friend. The one person I can count on for everything, who’s been there with me for all the moments, big and small.
When Mollie shows up at my door, travel weary and scared following an incident with an ex, my instinct to protect her goes into overdrive. It’s then that I know she’s more than just my best friend and the skates are swept out from under me when I find out she feels the same way.
Our transition from friends to lovers to potentially something more is seamless, the Arizona Vengeance is back on the ice looking for a repeat championship, and my life has never been better. Just when I think I’ve got it all figured out, the realities of us both having careers which keep us on the road put our blossoming relationship on ice.
It feels like the game just went into overtime and I’m on the verge of either the biggest win or most disappointing loss of my life. And losing is never an option.

#ReleaseBlitz: Dax by Sawyer Bennett; #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Live, #Review

Dax (Arizona Vengeance, Book #4)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: July 9, 2019

Rating:  4.5 Stars

Told in the first person.  Alternating persons.

Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

Synopsis:

The Arizona Vengeance is killing it on the ice. But one player can’t seem to keep his eye on the puck—all thanks to the woman he just married to save her life.

My name is Dax Monahan and hockey is my passion. And if you want to succeed in this sport you have to bust your ass 24/7. I’ve never had a hard time focusing on my career, but when my past comes knocking, no amount of training can prepare me for what lies on the other side of the door.

Regan Miles was always like a sister to me. When a shared tragedy brings us face to face after several years, I’m shocked to see just how much she’s changed. Gone is the shy, awkward little girl that always used to chase me and her brother around. Instead, I’m faced with a gorgeous woman who makes it damn hard to concentrate on anything but her.

Turns out, she’s in trouble, and the only way out is to get married.

I surprise myself when I tell her to marry me. Order her, actually. And most shocking of all, she doesn’t even hesitate before saying yes.

So it’s settled. We’re getting hitched and she’s moving to Arizona with me. All platonic, of course.

The catch?

I never knew I’d fall so hard for my best friend’s little sister.

My Thoughts:

Make sure to read the Foreword and Dedication. It gives you a hint into her inspiration and if you haven’t read Legend you may want to start there first. If you haven’t started the series, you’re only three behind – that’s not too bad. It may be an incentive to go back and read since it’s been a few months since Legend’s story came out. Part of his story bleeds into part of this one and that’s another good reason to get his story done first.

Dax Monahan’s someone who cares about family and friends. He makes a statement that has an invisible exclamation point attached. Regan Miles has had a lot to deal with. I applaud any author that creates a character that isn’t perfect or in this case has challenges that most of us wouldn’t understand. I don’t have quite the same circumstances but I can identify with some of her choices. It’s a great way to give the reader a connection to a character – gives the aspect of realism.

Even with everything going on in their lives, you can feel their instant connection. What I loved was watching this man who plays hockey being felled like a tree by a slip of a woman – oh how the mighty have fallen. There’s just enough in the story about the hockey team and its members but not too much that it would overtake the main issues. In past years, when you thought of hockey players it was the fighting and the missing teeth. But our author shows that there’s a human side to those players. She also brings awareness to something that I had never heard of before. It was watching their lives meld that really caught my attention and kept me turning those pages. Anything else was just icing on the cake plus I already added the next two books into my TBR list because I don’t want to miss anything when it comes to the Arizona Vengeance – especially after getting a sneak peek as to who our next main men are. And how can you not want to see what this author is going to have in store for you next when she wrote such a romantic ending.

Legend (Arizona Vengeance, Book #3)

Sawyer Bennett

Release Date: February 5, 2019

Rating:  4.5 Stars
Told in the first person.  Alternating persons.

Synopsis:

The Arizona Vengeance is hockey’s hottest new team. But hockey’s hottest goalie is learning that even the best players sometimes need an assist.

Everything is clicking for the Vengeance. We may be new, but we’re well on our way to winning the championship, and I’m having the time of my life headlining the sports media as the hottest goalie—hell, player—ever. I for one am going to live up to my name . . . because I am Legend Bay.

Dragging my ass home from the gym, I’m blinded by some gaudy, glowing holiday lights. As usual, my hot-as-hell neighbor Pepper Nantais has gone way over the top. But just as I’m about to tell her off, something else catches my eye . . . Seems like Santa left me a present, and not one I was expecting.

As life takes an unexpected turn, I realize that there’s much more to Pepper than meets the eye. Sure, she’s gorgeous. And exasperating. And her taste in decorating may be a bit . . . unique.

But beneath her carefree demeanor is a fierce determination and a heart of gold. And before I know it I’ve fallen for her. Hard . . .

Pepper is exactly the woman I never knew I needed.

My Thoughts:

Legend Bay has a tiny package that he’s stunned by.  His story humanizes the hockey player.  Our author shows how they go through the same trials and tribulations just like everyone else.  Pepper Nantais likes to stay true to herself.  She shows how sometimes you can count on a neighbor being there to lend a helping hand.

I watch some of the shows on HGTV and it’s interesting to see how many people want no neighbors.  What happens when an emergency or the unexpected happens?  Having an extra pair of hands can come in handy and can also help to take some of the pressure off your shoulders.  Having someone close by, no matter how quirky, can be a good thing.

This story quickly became very addictive.  Give me a sexy hunk, a woman who dances to her own tune, and a little sweetie and I’m glued to my comfortable chair.  I’d say to set the mood by going to a hockey game but in this case, I say stay at home because you won’t want to be distracted for even one second.  You’ll not realize how quickly this story moves along and that just shows how deeply you’ve gotten sucked into what’s going on.

I didn’t even mind the twist that almost stopped me in my tracks.  But Legend and Pepper make a great team so I know everything will be all right.  Our author has created a situation that could really tear at your heart.  But instead of bringing her readers down, she turns it around and will get you to chuckle.  At one point, you may even need a tissue – which just shows how realistic this story seems.

We meet a couple of Legend’s teammates that seem to have reoccurring appearances.  Both of them had me questioning which of their stories will be next.  Tacker spoke the loudest to me.   He seems to be crying out for help.  But he doesn’t take my attention away from what’s really going on with our main characters or from the very romantic ending.  Now I just have to wait to see if I’m right or will our author just surprise me once again.
