There’s a reason they call me Wylde and it’s not just because it’s my last name.

I might be one of the newest players on the Arizona Vengeance team, but I’m no stranger to the celebrity that goes along with being a professional hockey player. Whether it’s a fan seeking an autograph or a puck bunny looking for more, I’ve grown used to the attention. I not only thrive on it; I use it to my advantage. Let’s just say my bed is rarely empty.

When a quirky redhead at the local bookstore stops me dead in my tracks, I decide to pop in and turn on the trusty Wylde magic. As smart and strong-willed as she is beautiful, Clarke Webber isn’t swayed by my witty banter or charming good looks. And when she realizes who I am and the fame that comes along with it, she likes me even less. Thankfully, I’m always up for a challenge. The more I get to know about her, the more I know my playboy days are behind me.

If I’m going to capture Clarke’s heart, it’s time to be a lot less Wylde, and a lot more Aaron.





WYLDE!
We already heard about him a little in the last books. (He's Tacker's best friend!)
Wylde is young. Rich. Pretty famous - as far as hockey stars in Arizona can be famous. And he's single and loving it.
One morning on a run he comes across Clarke's bookstore and sees her behind the register.
Bam! He's insta-interested. But he's not really doing the whole serious dating thing. Not yet. He has some good 'playa' years ahead of him. Right?
And Clarke is not really dating either. At least no famous hotties.
But Wylde still gets her to go on a wedding-date with him.☺
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!


That was adorable and funny!
With a few sad and emotional moments thrown in.
I really enjoyed reading this!
Wylde never had to fight for a date.
Hilarious.
It was all maybe a tiny bit too sweet and easy? Nothing much really happens. Just cute and funny scenes with a few interesting moments thrown in.
And Sawyer has once again used all the AS's she could get her hands on. Ugh. How I hate that!
(You know the ones, right? She couldn't pick him up from school, as she had to get her nails done.)
I could understand one British character using it, but it's the author using it, so ALL her characters talk like that. Ew.

But still - I really loved Wylde - he was mega adorable and nice and hot. A really good guy. Now that he's done being the wild Wylde. And Clarke and her bookstore - totally adorable too. Even though I kinda had the feeling that I was reading a gay romance all the time. Why name a girl Clarke??? Ugh.

I also loved that we were in the hockey off season - AS I'm not really a hockey fan. SEE WHAT I DID THERE????? I USED ONE OF SAWYER'S HORRIBLE AS's. ☺ I need to go take a shower now.☺

Can we please get a Sawyer Bennett Hockey Netflix series??

WYLDE was an adorable & fun hockey-bookstore love story! ☺ Run to your nearest amazon for your own WYLDE - this one is MINE!!!!!

 

As with every Sawyer book ... I had some problems with the writing... 
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 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!




ARC received from author for an honest review

Woot! Another Sawyer Bennett hockey hottie to add to my collection!

I am truly, deeply missing hockey during the time of COVID-19, so I have to get all my thrills through hockey books.

I have been intrigued by Aaron Wylde since he turned up in he earlier books in the series, and he did not disappoint.

And I want to be Clarke when I grow up - she owns a book shop, and catches they eye of a sexy hockey player lol.

If you are a fan of weddings, you are going to love this installment - not telling who though!

This installment felt just a little bit too easy though, if that makes sense?  Not that that is a bad thing, it was just that nothing really happened.  There were a few sad moments, but nothing to grip you like a vice and make you worry for our lovelies - this is probably just a me thing though.  I love it when there is no stupid mis/non communications and things, but I still want something to make me growl at my Kindle.

I loved seeing more of the Vengeance boys, and there is something that I hope will be more information in the next installment, something that felt unfinished at the time.

Give me more, Ms Bennett, give me more!
