JETT is the tenth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult ARIZONA VENGEANCE erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the members of the professional hockey team the Arizona Vengeance. This is twenty-six year old, right-winger Jett Olsson, and the Vengeance’s Vice President of Digital Marketing and Analytics / single mother Emory Holland’s story line. JETT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Told from dual first person perspectives (Jett and Emory) JETT focuses on the building romance and relationship between twenty-six year old, hockey player Jett Olsson, and the Vengeance’s Vice President of Digital Marketing and Analytics / single mother Emory Holland. Emory Holland is new to the Arizona Vengeance, and the Phoenix area but a business meeting with Jett Olsson stirs something in our story line heroine but dating a player means crossing the line. Giving in to her emotions, Emory offers Jett a friends with benefits type of arrangement, an arrangement that is about to turn into something more. What ensues is the building relationship between Emory and Jett, and the potential fall-out as Emory’s past returns wanting a second chance. Emory Holland is a divorcee; a single mother whose ex is no longer in the picture, and as such, Emory struggles with issues of trust, as it pertains to her hearts, and that of her seven year old daughter Felicity. Emory knows Jett’s reputation off the ice is a bit of a player but Emory’s heart wants more than she could have ever thought possible. Jett Olsson never expected to fall hard for a woman, having seen his fellow teammates fall hard and fast but something about Emory draws Jett like a ‘moth to a flame’, a moth that is about to get burned when Emory’s past threatens our heroine’s well ordered life. The relationship between Jett and Emory begins as a business arrangement; co-workers of a sort who both work for the Arizona Vengeance. Emory is unsure as to the reactions of the franchise but Jett wants nothing more than to claim Emory as his own. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are introduced to Emory’s seven year old daughter Felicity, her sister Jenna, and he ex Shane Kelly, as well as team owner Dominik Carlson, injured player Baden Oulett, defenseman Riggs Nadeau, and several members of the Arizona Vengeance. JETT is a story of family, relationships and love; of camaraderie and friendships; second chances and moving on. The premise is thought provoking, emotional and real; the romance is provocative yet tender; the characters are sassy, determined and spirited.

4.5 stars Jett’s story is quite the ride. Its full of steam as well as some poignant heartwarming moments and I honestly loved every moment he and Emory share. Jett is a great addition to the Arizona Vengeance series and a highly recommended read, in my honest opinion. I really admired the way he was in this book. Emory may be working as a social media expert with the Vengeance and being with a single mother has never been on Jetts radar. These two do not do complicated. However they have undeniable chemistry that they can’t ignore. Emory is somewhat conflicted due to her past and with their growing feelings as well as the return of someone, she has to make some important decisions. Will Jett be a part of her future?. Only one way to find out, go 1-click. A really enjoyable read!

This is book #10 in the Arizona Vengeance series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this sexy series in order. Jett has been persistent. He has been patient, well sort of. He is just not giving up when it comes to Emory. Now he has to have her. So he intends to win her over. Emory knows what a player Jett is. She finds him attractive, sure. The relentless pursuit has her thinking. She has been hurt before. Can this even look like more than a one night stand? This story was just more fun that I imagined. The couple was easy to root for. The heat is staggering, so when you ready your copy, I recommend an ice cream cone in one hand. If you get a change to listen to the audiobook, take it. The voices are awesome! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.
