Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: August 14, 2018
Synopsis:
Meet the Arizona Vengeance, hockey’s hottest new team. They’re burning up the ice—until a one-night-stand with the coach’s daughter freezes one player in his skates.Bishop Scott, co-captain. Not too shabby, huh? It’s all part of my fresh start with the NHL’s latest expansion team, and that means new teammates, a new coach, a new city, and a big new contract. Basically, I cannot f***ing wait to show my old squad what they’re missing.
But first, I decide to check out the town before the grind begins. Turns out Arizona chicks are totally smokin’, and I’m fortunate enough to meet one who’s looking for the same thing I am: a night of anonymous, unforgettable, no-strings-attached sex.
Fast forward to the Vengeance arena. It’s the last place I expect to see her again—let alone in her own office. Then bells go off and I finally realize who this girl is: Brooke Perron. My new coach’s daughter. All of a sudden, we’re picking up right where we left off, which means our hands are all over each other. That’s when her dad—my boss—walks in. And before I can get a word out, Brooke’s introducing me as her fiancé.
Sure, she just saved my ass. So why do I get the feeling Brooke’s going to turn my world upside down? Maybe it’s because this fake relationship feels way too real. . . .

What I thought about Bishop
In this new sports romance series from Sawyer Bennett, there's a new expansion team called the Arizona Vengeance in the hockey league and it's made of up players from all the other teams in the league in this spin-off from the Cold Fury series.
Bishop is chilling at the bar when a woman catches his eye and after some banter, they end up spending the night together. Right from the start there's a sense that this "relationship" is something different. He's finds out just what's different when he runs into Brooke the next day at the stadium and finds out she's the coach's daughter.
Caught in a make-out session with Bishop, Brooke lies to her father telling him they're engage and have been dating. And Bishop goes along with it, setting the stage for them to fall for each other for real.
This was a really sweet story between Brooke and Bishop. Neither one is looking for a permanent thing, yet they can't ignore the feelings between them. I really liked how they fell in love with each other.
When everything explodes for them when the truth comes out, they have to really decide what they want. I have to say that I really liked Bishop. He is a good guy. I loved his point of view chapters. I didn't connect as much with Brooke because she just really seemed like she didn't want to be in Arizona at all, and she does something really stupid (but sweet and generous) that kicks off a lot of their trouble.
Overall, I thought this was a great start to a series I'm looking forward to reading. There's a nice introduction to the players on the team and there are definitely some interesting characters for follow-up books in the series.
