Release Blitz & Review: Riggs

 


  
 

Riggs (Arizona Vengeance, Book #11) Sawyer Bennett 

Release Date: October 26, 2021



Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world. As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life. 

 On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen-year-old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it. 

They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to. 

 In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke’s Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It’s there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money-hungry divorcee who I don’t want anywhere near my sister. 

Janelle insists I’m completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding myself that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits. 

 Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she really is—an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger. 

I have to admit, we’re more alike than not and the attraction between us burns hot. 

Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?

🎧 Audible (narrated by Connor Crais and Savannah Peachwood):



Hard to believe this is already book 11 in this series. It is one of the best hockey series out there. This is about Riggs and Veronica who we have seen in previous books.


Riggs has been an outlier with the team. Keeps to himself and doesn't give much more than the team requires of his. His little sister is for sure off limits for conversation. I have been waiting to get his story for awhile now.  Veronica is Clarke's best friend and works at her books store. Real vivacious and fun to talk to. Getting his sister a job at the bookstore is what brings Riggs in contact with Veronica. On the surface, they are not a match for me.


The both have baggage and trust issues in common. Riggs is just so growly for most of the first half of the book. I don't see what the draw is at all with him. They are definitely enemies with the common bond of caring for Rigg's sister Janelle. They agree to a hook up and then all of a sudden they are meaning more to each other. I didn't get the woo woo vibes until the end. Maybe it was just me. The two of them just didn't seem like they were working on a relationship so much as a good time.


So, not a favorite of the series for me but hands down, this whole series is one of the best I have read. It moves the story line forward. I am both looking forward and dreading Baden's book next. Man, that sneak peek was torture!
