Hockey season may be over, but in New York Times bestselling
author Sawyer Bennett’s new novel, a Carolina Cold Fury heartbreaker is heating
things up off the ice and eager to score with the girl next door.
No one skates like Reed Olson. In the off-season, no one
plays like him either. After back-to-back championships, Reed craves a
different kind of action. Good thing there’s no shortage of women ready for a
summer fling with a sports star. Reed has a specific type—blond, busty, not too bright—and a little
black book full of options. But when his bed starts rocking, it’s his unexpectedly sexy neighbor who comes knocking. And the
brainy beauty is impossible to ignore.
We're back with the hotties from the Carolina Hockey team!
Reed.
The season is over - they won the Cup again!
And now Reed has the whole summer in front of him. And nothing planned but having fun with some casual sex. His favorite kind of hook-up is the Barbie type. Lots of boobs, not too much brain.
And on one of those Barbie nights he meets his new neighbor Doctor Josie.
She knocks on his door to tell him that his Barbie should try to be a bit quieter in the throes of passion!
And that little encounter in the middle of the night turns strangers Josie and Reed into very good friends. They suddenly spend all their free time together having fun and doing puzzles and eating and going out. But only as friends - even though both are very attracted to the other. But they're also SO not each other's type ... or are they? Could they be? Will they? Won't they? And what happens when her ex is suddenly back in town?
WHAT WiLL HAPPEN TO JOSiE & REED????
WiLL THERE BE A HAPPiLY EVER AFTER?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! ☺☺☺
A new book in this adorable Hockey series. YAY!
REED!!!
This is not much of a hockey romance - the season is over.
But it's a really cute romantic comedy!
A friends to lovers thingy.
I really enjoyed reading it.
I laughed and swooned. Reed is so adorable and romantic and ... really sweet & hot & amazing!
And Dr. Josie is just as adorable. They're perfect together - they just need a little time to figure it out themselves!!! ☺
Some might say the wallbanging thing mentioned in the blurb has been romance-noveled one too many times, but pfff, it's just a fun way for them to meet - and to tell their grand-kids about one day. It didn't bother me at all. And I LOVED Wallbanger by Alice Clayton! ☺
And oooooh - almost forgot!!! We also meet Reed's co-Fury-buddy Marek - and I can't wait to read his story next. He will have to fight really hard for his happily ever after!!!
I had some problems with the writing...as with every Sawyer book. It's Sawyer's and my THING ☺ It's only me who has those problems with her writing. So please don't be worried or just scroll down and don't read the following...
I have a HUGE AS problem! ☺ You know the AS's I'm talking about? The AS that could/should be exchanged for a SINCE or a BECAUSE or just a comma/dot/pause/whatever.☺ It's a British and or legal thing (if it's a thing at all!) and it doesn't have anything to do in an American book by an American author. I would be ok with it if one (British) character would use it, but everyone uses it! I really don't want to insult Sawyer. I love her books, but ... please stop doing it. But pfff who am I to tell her what to do, so just forget I said anything! It doesn't stop her books from being great!
R E E D was another super-adorable, sexy & funny addition to this great hockey series!
Run to your nearest amazon for your own REED - this one is MINE!!!!!
... and now hurry Sawyer - I want MAREK asap!!!!!

Another hockey-hottie? Sign me up!
Woohoo, time to head back to North Carolina and spend some time with the hockey hotties from the Cold Fury.
Reed is a very sweet, very cute friends to FWB to more story that I read in one evening.
Ms Bennett had me laughing in the first chapter (hello Screaming Barbie) and the wallbanging moments, and I was hooked from then on.
I adore Reed and Josie. From their first interactions I just loved their banter. The chemistry between our lovelies was off the charts, and I couldn't help but need them to be more.
I love Reed's banter with his team mates. We don't get much hockey in this one - hey, they boys need a break after winning Sir Stanley - however we still do get most of the lads and their ladies. I love love loved getting more of where Alex and Sutton were at in particular (oh, it seems so long ago that we were introduced to them!)
What I particularly liked was that that there was no drama for drama's sake. Did Reed and Josie have their problems? Sure, who doesn't. But they acted like adults and sorted their sh!t out!
I have said that a few books ago the quality in this series had disappointingly dropped (to me anyways) so it is great to say that Reed is up there with the best of the series.
We have great set up for the next book, Marek. Oh boy, this is going to be a story and a half. Is it May yet?
Bring it on Ms Bennett, bring it on!
