Release Blitz & Review: Grizz


Blurb:

Grizz McAvoy is the most electrifying player in professional hockey…and the most volatile. He’s
got a wicked shot, a hair-trigger temper, and spent his childhood surviving his father's cruelty.
Off the ice, he's a PR catastrophe, racking up fines, burning through handlers, and daring the
New York Vipers organization to do something about it. He’s built his entire identity around
one principle: winning solves everything.

But winning can’t silence the past trauma that haunts him when the arena lights go dark.
Daisy Turner was fired from a top style magazine for asking questions powerful men didn't
want to answer and exposing hypocrisy in the world of high-fashion. She's looking to salvage
her career as a journalist by scraping together a second chance as Grizz's new media
handler. Fearless in her own right, she carries scars from a betrayal that taught her trust is a
currency she can't afford to spend freely.

From their first combustible meeting, Grizz and Daisy collide in a battle of wills neither is
prepared to lose. She challenges him, and he can't look away. What begins as mutual
provocation becomes far more dangerous when the walls between professional and personal
start to crumble, and the wreckage of Grizz's past threatens to destroy the one person brave
enough to see through his rock-solid armor.

Grizz is a scorching, emotionally charged hockey romance about two people who were never
supposed to fall for each other, and the bruising, tender, inevitable collision that happens
when they do.

Review

Sawyer Bennet is the master of Hockey Romance. I truly did not feel she could get better at the genre.  After a few chapters of Grizz, I realized she had done it. Partnering with a former Hocky player was the extra frosting on the cake I didn't know I needed.  This story gives an extra richness to hockey life, locker room workings, game play.  It isn't that I didn't enjoy the story before. But this book--you are in the nitty gritty of all things hockey AND get a romance on top of it all. 

Grizz needs to be managed and the owner of the New York Vipers hires someone to do just that. Daisy takes her work seriously and the two seem like they are going to but heads all the way. But, hearts have a funny way of getting involved. They try to be friends and then they try to be more.  Daisy is all in and Grizz doesn't know what hit him. 

Fantastic start to this new hockey adventure! I can't wait to read more about this team. 

voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
