Release & Review: Baden

Baden (Pittsburgh Titans, Book 1) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: January 11, 2022

 


After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor ordered. 

 I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all.

 Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again. 

When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love. While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued. 

Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone. 

Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by simply being there. 

 Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another. As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our broken pieces become one. 

But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the pain of our past prove too much to overcome?

Fans of this author will have followed her Arizona Hockey team and will know the hear tbreaking story of Baden. The hero who saved a woman but in turn gotten beaten so badly, he potentially would never walk again. So knowing all that, I was a little nervous going into this new life venture for him. I was not wanting to go through all that pain again.  I am glad I stuck it out! 

Baden takes a leap of faith and decides to coach instead of play hockey again.  The team is new. He's nervous. The fans are on guard. It's dicey at best.  And then he discovers that Sophie, the woman he saved, lives near him. He has a plan. He has a mission. Sophie needs a friend.  

Hearts get involved pretty quick but Baden is so good for her.  He is patient and willing to give her the strength she needs in order to get past her PTSD. I loved these two together! Sophie is a warrior in her own right.  I hope to see more of them in books to come. 

This is the first book of the series and it does a great job setting up the new team for us.  Some familiar faces joining the organization and lots of new growly players to meet.  I am looking forward to reading about their HEA's along the way. 

Great read!
