Description

“[Sawyer] Bennett has scored a hat trick with the third installment in the Cold Fury Hockey series. It reads well as a stand-alone, and sports fans who love the players as much as the game will be very satisfied with the intense action both on and off the ice.”—Library Journal

Warning: The following contains spoilers from a cliffhanger in Garrett.

Rising star Zack Grantham has been stuck in a downward spiral of grief that has put his career on hold. Back on the road with the Carolina Cold Fury, still crippled by emotional baggage, and now a single dad, he’s in need of some serious help with his son. But while the nerdy new nanny wins his son’s heart, Zack isn’t sure he’s ready for a woman’s touch—even after getting a glimpse of the killer curves she’s hiding under those baggy clothes.

Kate Francis usually keeps men like Zack at a distance. Though his athlete’s body is honed to perfection, he refuses to move on with his life—and besides, he’s her boss. Still, the sparks between them are undeniable, tempting Kate to turn their professional relationship into a personal one. But before she makes a power play for Zack’s wounded heart, Kate will have to open him up again and show him that love is worth the fight.

    If you have read Garrett, then you know the heartbreak that Zack goes through and that starts out this book. It is a tear jerker reading this book where he becomes a single dad and the guilt he faces with Gina's death. But then Kate enters the picture and you see the changes in him. He starts working through his guilt and thanks to Kate is able to see the flaws in his thinking. Kate is such a dorky, funny character and I just love her. This whole story while starting out sad, ends beautifully and leaves you wanting more of all the characters!

  • OMG!!!!!

    “Oh, God. I’m going to start hyperventilating.” Yep, that was me every time Zack and Kate had ‘moments’ together. I love Hockey Boys and Sawyer Bennett knows how to spin a perfect story that is full of heart. This novel picks up at the end of Garrett. Do you need to read Garrett first? No. Do I think you need to read Garrett first? Why of course, YES! Zack our Left Winger is a broken man. Kate is a glass is always half full gal that falls gracefully into Zack and Ben’s lives. Grief is always a touchy subject especially when the story revolves around unfinished business that death stripped away. Ms. Bennett weaves her story through the eyes of both characters as Zack attempts to deal with the healing process. Yep, I use the word ‘attempts’. Zack was one of those characters where I wasn’t sure if I wanted to hug the stuffing out of him or kick his butt. Grief mixed with guilt makes for ugly feels bedfellows for him. Comparing my real life examples of this type of male reaction to Zack – I totally believable character for me. I had worries about Kate. She was strong and understanding; maybe a bit too good to be true. But, even bright as sunshine Kate has her tipping point. I was proud she made the decision she did – not a doormat. All my favorite scenes revolved around Ben, Zack’s son. Kate builds such a great relationship with him while respecting Zack’s boundaries of keeping memories alive. And Sutton makes appearances reminding me why I loved her in Alex. (Haven’t read Alex? Go get that book too.) I didn’t have a least favorite part. Okay, well maybe when I wanted to knee Zack in the nuts, but that’s the journey we needed to see him take. If this is going to be your first Sawyer Bennett book, this is a good one to start on to find out why she is one of my favorite authors. As always, she delivers a well-crafted story that flows squarely to a satisfying ending. (I didn’t want to kick his butt anymore.) And #IwanttheGoalie
