Van (Cold Fury, Book #9)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: November 28, 2017
Score one for the Carolina Cold Fury hockey team as a stone-cold badass melts for a woman who makes his blood run hot.
As one of the league’s toughest enforcers, Van Turner is ruthless on the ice. He plays hard because it’s the only way to channel the rage boiling inside, and a reputation as an A-hole is better than everyone knowing the truth. Van has spent his entire life running from a secret that’s kept him from getting involved in relationships—or accepting lucrative deals with East Coast teams. Then the Carolina Cold Fury makes him an offer he can’t refuse . . . and Van meets a woman he can’t resist.
Simone Fournier is the stubborn one in her family—and that’s saying something, considering her brothers are two of the Cold Fury’s biggest stars. Simone gets what she wants, and what she wants is Van. Still, there’s a part of him Simone can’t reach, no matter how hard she tries. In private, he’s all fire and passion. In public, he freezes her out. Van may want to push her away, but Simone won’t let him go that easily. Because this time, she’s playing for keeps.
Sawyer Bennett’s New York Times bestselling Carolina Cold Fury series can be read together or separately.

5 Super Shiny Stars!
I have followed the series from the start and this one ranks among my favorites. Somewhere int he middle of the series, things seemed to fall apart or where not typical for the author. I love Sawyer to pieces and always look forward to her books. But a couple of the recent ones in the Cold Fury have been blah..
Van however, redeems everything! Not much hokey in this one but that's OK! This book has Simone! Whew what a whirlwind she is! No wonder her brothers have tried to keep a handle on her. Never to be deterred, she knows she wants Van and she is going to peel away all his defenses until she gets him. Ooo, and when they do get together---what and explosion of passion!!
This story line runs parallel to Lucas story for the first half of the book. Some events will seem familiar but they are now from Simone and Van's POV. Just overall a refreshing, well written story. The message that we are all worthy of love -- no matter what our upbringing, or what we have been told by others--shines through. So happy for this couple.
Wonderful to see Luc and Max and their parents again. Also caught up with a few of the other couples. Looking forward to the next adventure with this hockey team!

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 erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer 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 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 work-out, 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.
