About this ebook
USA TODAY BESTSELLER • The Carolina Cold Fury hockey team is stacked with hotshots. But when a new player joins their ranks, he learns that even superstars can’t go it alone when it comes to love.
Lucas Fournier is only serious about one thing: hockey. The league’s fun-loving charmer, Luc is always up for a good prank or a great lay, and he has no intention of settling down. But being traded to the Carolina Cold Fury—and to play alongside his big brother, Max—is no joke. With another title in sight, the last thing Luc wants is to let his new teammates down. To succeed, Luc will need to keep his head in the game and the most . . . er, demanding member of his anatomy in check. But when temptation hits, Luc hits back harder.
Museum curator Stephanie Frazier has always put business before pleasure, which just about explains her nonexistent sex life. But when Stephanie meets Luc at a champagne-fueled gala, she finds herself flirting like crazy—and going home with the uninhibited athlete. For one night, she learns what passion is all about. She just never counted on the little surprise Luc leaves behind. And that’s when things really start to get . . . interesting.

Lucas is the man everyone wants. He is considerate and actually understands what makes Stephanie tick. He may not handle it well, but he tries. These two have great chemistry together but struggle to see deeper into themselves. An accident is what it takes to search into the depth. On and off , I smiled and I cried. I loved this story and have been enjoying this series, and recommend both. I received a copy of this story through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.

I had a sense of deja vu with this book, but in a good way. And the main reason being that Lucas reminded me a lot like his older brother Max. Being bros and best friends will do that. They both have an easygoing, happy-go-lucky personality, and their tight family bond only endears them more. Lucas is an all or nothing guy. And when he falls for a girl, it's hard and fast. It is just crazy that the girl who catches his eye is closed off. It's going to take a great deal of TLC from Lucas to win Stephanie over. Lucas is steadfast in what he wants and how to be an upstanding guy without being all alpha. He wasn't perfect but knew when to make amends. Stephy was like a fish out of water most of the time. She was very stubborn but with the circumstances they found themselves in, her stance on life slowly changed. The most being her self worth, best quality of all. She was definitely a work in progress throughout the book. I love sports romances and I love ice hockey so this book was a winner especially with the dual POVs. I did feel the ending was concluded very quickly and the epilogue didn't fulfill all my needs. Although, it set up the next book, Van's story, nicely and I am sure we will hear more from Lucas in that edition. * I received a copy for an honest review.

Luc was a fantastic character. Stephanie was great in the beginning, but her woe is me attitude, always focusing on the negative and never the positives (like the love and care she got from her nanny growing up), and constantly guilt tripping of everyone who had nothing to do with her childhood over her upbringing got old really quickly. Luc deserved better.
About the author
Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released multiple books, many of which have appeared on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real-life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to contemporary romance, she writes something for just about everyone.
Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active daughter, as well as a full-time servant to her adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others and that a bad day can be cured with a great workout, cake, or even better, both.
Sawyer also writes general and women’s fiction under the pen name S. Bennett and sweet romance under the name Juliette Poe.
