Camden by Sawyer Bennett Release Blitz

Camden Poe is the last of The Lucky Three, the surviving Pittsburgh Titans who weren’t on the team plane the night it went down. By all outward appearances, he’s adjusted to post-crash life well but inside he’s wrestling with the guilt of living.

The catastrophe that killed the Pittsburgh Titans changed my entire world. My teammates were more than my friends—they were my brothers. I mourned their loss with the rest of the nation but then I did as I’ve been taught… I moved on. I focused on returning to the ice with the newly rebuilt team and put the tragedy behind me. Considering the circumstances, I adjusted well. Or so I thought. Now I’m plagued by nightmares of the crash and my play has suffered as a result. Facing the possibility of losing my place on the team, I need to pull myself together and fast.

My buddy and linemate, Mitch Brandt died in the crash, leaving his wife Danica and son Travis behind to pick up the pieces of their shattered family. After reconnecting with Danica at a support group meeting, I find myself inexplicably drawn to helping her and her son move forward. What starts as two friends finding solace in one another following a tragedy becomes something more, leaving us both wondering if we deserve this chance.

I feel as if I’m walking a precarious line between a man falling for an incredible woman and a man moving in on his dead friend’s wife. But one thing is crystal clear—I’ve found a peace with Danica that I wasn’t sure I’d ever have again. Now I need to find the confidence within myself to push past the insecurities and make sure she knows how important she is to me because if I don’t, I’ll lose the one thing that makes me truly complete.

Mary – ☆☆☆☆☆
4.5 stars

This is the eighth book in the series and is Camden Poe's story. He is the last of the "Lucky Three" who were not on the plane when it crashed, taking his teammates and coaching staff. He hasn't really dealt with the grief, he has been pushing it deep down, hoping it would go away.

Danica Brandt is the wife of one of those lost in the crash and she has had to push forward to make a life for her and her son without Mitch, the love of her life.

When Camden and Danica reconnected at a support group for family and friends of the victims, their friendships is rekindled. Turns out there are a few sparks flying and feelings beginning to grow between them.

Can Camden see that it is okay to date Danica before he loses her? Will he let the guilt of dating his dead friend’s widow get in the way of their relationship? Danica and Mitch's son, Travis, is a bright, smart, and talented kid and he sees what is happening between his mom and Camden.

This story is a journey for two people to heal their pain, and remove the guilt, and find the happiness they both deserve. It is filled with all the emotions to make it a great story. So grab it and enjoy. I do recommend reading the whole series in order, you really don't want to miss anything in this series.

Danica and her son, Travis, are moving on. After losing her husband and the father of her child, Danica needed to keep on living. She missed Mitch a lot, but knowing that her son was counting on her, Danica found a way.

Camden is living, but he is consumed with guilt. He knows that he's messing up in life right now, but he can't help the guilt.

When Camden is given an ultimatum of going to a support group or being moved down a line, Camden sucks it up. Afterall, these are his friends. They've all lived through the same tragedy.

What neither Camden nor Danica is expecting is an attraction. Sure, they were friendly before and Camden knew he'd always be there for Danica and Travis, but the attraction he feels now is just leading to more guilt.

This is a story that was about forgiving yourself, loving again, and never forgetting the past.

Camden's story was not my favorite of this series, and it was much slower than the rest. However, I enjoyed the story enough that I would recommend it to someone else.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the eighth book in the series, and a really moving story. I would recommend that you read them all, and ideally in order – all the books are moving in their own way, but the stories of the three who did not get on the plane and lose their lives are particularly intense.

Camden has seemed the most together of that trio, but he is hiding the fact that he has the most terrible nightmares. Being late for practice brings him to the attention of the coaching staff, and he fears his career is over – I felt that this insight gave a really good indication of just where his head was at this point. He attends a mandated, yet informal, survivors/family meeting and sees the wife and son of his best friend, Mitch, are there too.

This starts a journey of reawakening for two people who suffered much from the crash, and a possibility of a brighter future... but with many feelings of uncertainty and guilt along the way. It is a really beautiful book, with some straight talking, some time for love and healing, and, overall, the support and care of the Titans and their families.

Lovely read, thank you, Sawyer Bennett.
