There’s a reason they call me Wylde and it’s not just
because it’s my last name.
I might be one of the newest players on the Arizona Vengeance team, but I’m no stranger to the celebrity that goes along with being a professional hockey player. Whether it’s a fan seeking an autograph or a puck bunny looking for more, I’ve grown used to the attention. I not only thrive on it; I use it to my advantage. Let’s just say my bed is rarely empty.
When a quirky redhead at the local bookstore stops me dead in my tracks, I decide to pop in and turn on the trusty Wylde magic. As smart and strong-willed as she is beautiful, Clarke Webber isn’t swayed by my witty banter or charming good looks. And when she realizes who I am and the fame that comes along with it, she likes me even less. Thankfully, I’m always up for a challenge. The more I get to know about her, the more I know my playboy days are behind me.
If I’m going to capture Clarke’s heart, it’s time to be a lot less Wylde, and a lot more Aaron.
The Arizona Vengeance series from New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett can be read together or separately.

Mary – ☆☆☆☆☆
Aaron Wylde is the playboy of the team. With all his teammates pairing up or getting married, he is happy being single. Besides, he doesn't have trouble getting a date. He is used to the attention his job brings and he enjoys every minute of it.
Clarke Webber owns a bookstore and shies away from the limelight. She has been burned by it before and doesn't seek it out. When the good-looking man walks into her store looking for a wedding gift, she automatically sees him as a wannabe jock, he has the jock complex down anyway.
While Aaron stumbles trying to ask Clarke out, she tries to get him out of her store. What will she do when she realizes who he is? What will Aaron do when he learns about her fears? Can they work around his celebrity to be together? Will Clarke be the end of Aaron's wild ways?
I loved this story but not as much as most others. It was filled with pain from both Clarke and Aaron's past, a connection between them that could not be denied, and love to last forever. And there is so much going on with Aaron's teammates that you will be laughing and crying. Author Sawyer Bennett has figured out how to write the perfect hockey teammates and the women who love them. If you haven't read this author yet, you should. I recommend any of her books.

M/F Romance
Clarke is a quirky, fun, strong woman who is going after what she wants. Despite having a past that haunts her, she is doing her best to put it behind her and let her friends and family heal her broken heart. You might find that she's a little standoffish at the beginning, but stick with her and you'll get to see a lot of growth.
Aaron Wylde is known to never really have a long-term relationship. He isn't afraid of them, just hasn't had one. Now that he's getting older, he realizes that he might want more than just the occasional puck bunny. When he sees Clarke, he's instantly taken with her appearance. Once he talks with her, she intrigues him even more.
These two find themselves dancing around each other, but with an unbelievable attraction. I loved how thoughtful Wylde was and his kind heart. Clarke, while a little stubborn, learned that not all celebrities were horrible and sometimes, they were just down right yummy. You can very much picture their courtship among Aaron's friends.
This is a quick, feel good romance. You won't be disappointed.
Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the seventh book in the series and whilst you could, of course, read it as a first entry point, I would definitely recommend that you start at the beginning as you will get all the goodness, which is well worth while. You could go back afterwards but would obviously know how the earlier couplings play out by then.
Aaron Wylde joined Vengeance to enable Rafe (book 6.5) to get back to be with his dying father. He knows many of the Vengeance players, and counts Tacker as his best friend, so he is not disappointed at the move. As soon as he arrives he gets invited to a slew of weddings too – as his friends are all settling down, whilst he is very happy being as wild as his name!
Fast forward to a run round the town, where he spies a beauty in a book store... and the rest is, in a way, history. But Clarke Webber is not his usual potential conquest, in fact she doesn't even know who he is! I really enjoyed this starting point and how Clarke was subsumed into the Vengeance family, but is still uncertain of how things could possibly work.
There is a lot of wonderful Vengeance family in this book, as they all meet up again and again, as Clarke gets used to Aaron and his ways. It was lovely to catch them in the off season, so that they have more down time. I very much enjoyed this latest installment; I’m already impatient for the next one!
