Erik: An Arizona Vengeance Novel
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: November 5, 2018
The Arizona Vengeance are developing a reputation on the ice as one of hockey’s top teams. But one player’s reputation off the ice might just keep him from scoring. . . .
I’m having the time of my life with my new brothers on the Arizona Vengeance. We may be an expansion team, but after notching some big wins, the entire league knows to watch out for Erik Dahlbeck. That’s me.
The only person who doesn’t seem to think I’m so great? Blue Gardner, the hot-as-f*** flight attendant on our team plane. I sure wouldn’t mind joining the mile-high club with her, but besides bringing me lukewarm coffee, she won’t give me the time of day. Whatever I did to rub Blue the wrong way, my teammates think it’s hilarious. After all, we’re used to women flocking to us. #puckbunnies
When I run into Blue back on land, I’m shocked to learn how she spends her time off: taking care of her handicapped brother. There are layers to this girl I never imagined, layers I can’t wait to peel away. And that’s a new feeling for me.
But first I’ve got to find a way to melt that ice-cold stare. Because as much as I try to pretend I don’t care what Blue thinks of me, how can you not care when you’re falling for someone?
The Arizona Vengeance will continue in 2019! CLICK HERE to see the whole series, including preorder links and the brand spanking new cover for Dax (Book #4).
Wow! This may be my new favorite hockey series EVER! I loved the Cold Fury team, don't get me wrong, but two books into the Arizona Vengeance and I am completely head over heels for these guys.
Erik is a playboy and all around flirt. For that reason alone, Blue wants nothing to do with him. Add it a chance previous meeting and she has built her walls up really thick. Once she lays it all on the line, Erik decides she is worth the challenge and just gives her honest HIM. Friendship is always a great place to start and they go forward from there. These two just seem to click once their walls are down.
What I love about this hockey team is it is an expansion team. All the players are in the same boat and starting from square one. It leaves them more open and a bit vulnerable. Their friendships are just coming around as well. The author writes some awesome banter between the guys.
Then let's add on the layer of Blue's brother with disabilities. I am so very pleased with the way the author incorporated this into her story. Especially happy with Blue's decision to keep him in his group home even if she could bring him home again. So spot on to all the tangled web families have to navigate when they have a person with different abilities to care for. Thank you for that honesty.
I am eager to meet the rest of the team and all their HEA's! Grab this series today!
