Description

I am not okay.

Fifteen months ago, my life was turned upside down when the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancée die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head.

Since that day, I’ve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. Because that is the one place where the bad memories are banished and I can escape my pain.

But off the ice, I’m spiraling out of control. Losing the grip on my life and putting myself and my career in danger. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, I’ve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team.

The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist. I can’t buy into the brand of happy clappy crap this woman is feeding me. What could she possibly understand about the type of loss that I’ve suffered? How does she know anything about finding happiness after losing the most important person in your life?

Turns out, I’ve got a lot to learn, and she’s just the person I need to break through those walls I’ve erected.

I am not okay.
But for the first time in a long time, I know that I will be.

    Tacker: Arizona Vengence was a great read by Sawyer Bennett. Tacker was involved in a plane crash that he was piloting, fifteen months ago that claimed the life of his fiance. Unfortunately he had to watch her die slowly as he was trapped in the wreckage. He has no desire to do anything except play hockey. Unfortunately a bad decision on his part is threatening his playing. He is ordered to do therapy where he meet Nora, a beautiful therapist who he knows is hiding something dark. I really enjoyed reading Tacker and Nora's story and can't wait to read more by Sawyer Bennett. Stephen Dexter and Lucy Rivers did a great job of narrating this book and sucking you into the characters.
  • Such a fabulous read!

    Finally Tacker gets his story! This was such a beautiful emotionally charged romance, once started I couldn’t put it down ! Tacker and Nora’s story is a roller coaster of emotions from heartbreaking grief to finding those first stirrings of something new and exciting, to sexy and undeniably sweet, Tacker has it all!

    If you follow Arizona vengeance series, then you have been dying for this book to come out. Tacker has been stuck in his grief from losing his fiancé in a plane crash that he was piloting, but the team has said enough is enough and he hast to get counseling or he’s off the team. This is where he meets Nora , his unconventional therapist, which becomes much more than that , a friend and maybe possibly a new love, but only if he can get over his guilt can he move on with his life and Nora is just the person to show him there’s more out there than terrible things that happen in your past , maybe she can show him because she has been there too. I listen to this book and the Narration is wonderful , they do a great job at portraying both Tacker and Nora!! Give it a listen you won’t regret it!!
  • Finally! Worth the read/listen!

    I’ve been waiting for Tacker’s story and what a great yet heartbreaking storyline. Two souls with broken pasts, find love again. Tacker and Nora’s chemistry is a slow burn but once ignited it burns hot. Stephen Dexter and Lucy Rivers’s narration is excellent and brought an added element to this story. It’s a definite must listen.
  • Another awesome story by Sawyer

    I have been eagerly waiting for this story since Tacker first showed up in Bishop’s book. Sometimes when a book is this anticipated it can almost not meet your expectations but Sawyer knocked it out of the park. I loved every minute of this book! I was scared that I was going to be super emotional through out the book but there were only a few parts that really got to me. I would recommend this book to everyone but even though it is a standalone, I would start at the beginning since you learn so much about Tacker’s journey along the way.
  • Incredible!!!!

    I love Tackers story. I was waiting to see what his story was and if he would be able to be happy again. I love this series and seeing all the different players and their family interacting. I love the team dynamic and how they all get along. Sawyer Bennett did not disappoint in this story. One of my favorite scenes where Tacker meeting with MJ’s parents. I cannot wait for Dominicks story

    Tacker’s fiancée died in the plane that he piloted. He started down the road of self destruction until he was given an ultimatum to clean up his act. That’s when he met Nora, his therapist. Tacker and Nora both learned from each other on healing. The story was the most emotional of this series. Since Tacker’s situation was first mentioned early on in this series, I couldn’t wait for his story, it was well worth the wait. Excellent story. Review copy was received for a honest opinion.
  • FINALLY GETTING TACKER’S STORY AND WE AREN’T READY!

    FINALLY GETTING TACKER’S STORY AND WE AREN’T READY! After getting bits and pieces of the surface story for Tacker in the previous books in this series, I was so crazy happy to finally get his story but was not ready for the range of emotions it brought! After his life is turned upside down and he gives up the willingness to live after the death of his fiancé, Tacker is finally given an ultimatum from the team’s owner and decides to take it since hockey is all he has left. Through that ultimatum, he meets Nora, a therapist that focuses on unique therapy approaches versus a standard one. As Tacker starts to tackle the feelings and the accident with Nora, he starts to actually have a break through, but at the same time starts to have a connection with Nora. But Tacker’s guilt of moving on holds him back and threatens the progress he’s made. These two are perfect for each other, with both of them going through very traumatic experiences and also living with survivor’s guilt. While Nora was way ahead on the progress and handling of her grief, I loved how she was able to understand exactly what Tacker needed to help with his. Per usual, I love Sawyer’s books and can’t get enough of them and the storylines that she provides. I can’t wait for the next book in this series! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
