Callum by Sawyer Bennett Release Blitz

Pittsburgh Titans. Callum. Available Now.

Callum Derringer was hired by the Pittsburgh Titans to help rebuild the organization after a devastating plane crash left its future unknown. Now that he’s got the team back on track, it’s time to put some effort into his own life.

When I accepted the job of general manager with the Titans, it was just the opportunity I needed to prove myself to the sports world. Unfortunately, my career isn’t the only area in which I’ve previously made mistakes and the past is about to come back in a big way.

Juniper Ryan is… complicated. Smart, funny and insanely gorgeous, she was my first love and my first heartbreak. But my loss was my stepbrother’s gain and she’s been his wife for five years now. I’ve done a decent job of putting her out of my mind but when Juniper breaks down and calls me for help, I know it’s bad. I’m gutted to learn that she was pushed into the arms of a monster.

Vowing to put our past aside, I learn dark truths about my brother and his marriage to my first love. And to make matters worse, I’m beginning to realize the feelings I once had for Juniper aren’t tucked quite as far away as I had hoped.

When things take a dangerous turn, I’m willing to put myself in the line of fire to keep my girl safe. I was a fool to walk away from Juniper the first time and I’m a man who knows better than to make the same mistake twice.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This is the twelfth book in this series, and they have all been excellent stories, this is no exception.

Callum truly has a horrible family; it is almost unbelievable that he is such a great guy, given the toxic situation of his past. Having to face that and see his first love, now married to his stepbrother, clearly in distress and pain, brings him up short and changes his understanding of the situation.

It is almost a relief that Callum is not perfect and has a second chance at making amends for his youthful error in leaving Juniper behind. As always, the rest of the team are in support, and the women rally round and give Juniper a chance at a much brighter future. It makes for a moving and ultimately very romantic read.

Another lovely installment – and as we get farther from the crash, the team pay tribute and honour the past, but are living their best lives now, which I love!

This is a great second-chance romance.

Callum has drama in his family life. After leaving to pursue his career, he never quite understood what he was leaving behind. With his career going well, when he gets news that his mom is in the hospital, he reluctantly returns home.

Juniper has lived a life of secrets. She has endured so much in her short life. When she sees Callum again, she’s not sure how to feel. Her life would’ve been so different had Callum decided to bring her along. But that’s the past.

Callum sees the situation for what it truly is and he knows just what to do. With his mom out of the hospital, despite her denial, Callum knows that he can do one good thing while he’s home. He can get Juniper to safety.

With their relationship renewed to friendship, their attraction still there, can Juniper trust that Callum won’t disappear again? Will Juniper’s past dictate her future?

This was a fun, sexy read. You won’t be disappointed.

 

 

“If you could ask for one thing, knowing the answer would be yes, what would you ask for, Juni?”     “Will you kiss me?”

Boone by Sawyer Bennett

Pittsburgh Titans. Boone. Available Now.

Boone Rivers uses his fame and fortune as a professional hockey player to his advantage, but not in the way most people would think. Volunteering as often as his busy schedule will allow, Boone meets one brave young boy who turns his world upside down.

As a first-line right winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, I thrive on the thrill of the game. I live for the smell of the ice, the cheer of the crowd and the way my heart pounds whenever I step into the arena. But once I’m out of my skates, my focus is on giving back to the city of Pittsburgh.

It’s funny how life puts people in your path. I meet Aiden while visiting the children’s hospital and I’m struck by the strength and resilience of this 12-year-old kid fighting for his life. As my visits continue, we bond over video games and hockey until one day Aiden’s older sister walks into his room and I realize there might be a bigger purpose here.

Lilly Hoffman has the weight of the world resting on her slight shoulders. Aiden’s illness isn’t getting better, she’s at risk of losing her job and their father is looking for the answers to his prayers at the bottom of a liquor bottle. I find myself wanting to lessen Lilly’s burden and what starts as a simple act of friendship turns into so much more. As we grow closer, I can’t help but fall for this fiercely protective and independent woman with a tender heart and bruised but not yet broken spirit.

As we face a future of never-ending uncertainty, I vow to be Lilly’s source of strength and comfort. Lilly and Aiden have reaffirmed to me the importance of giving and receiving love unconditionally, even in the darkest of times. And no matter what happens next, no one can take that from us.

Boone contains subject matter that may be sensitive to some readers. If you would like additional details, please click HERE.

This is the eleventh book in the series – they are all fabulous, if you have not read them yet, go back to the beginning and enjoy an amazing treat!

Be warned that this is a book which will probably need a couple of tissues to the ready – so maybe not one to read on the commute to work, or waiting in a shopping queue. But do not let this put you off this beautiful story.

Boone is a super good guy, when not playing or training he will go and make hospital visits. He has struck up a friendship with a young boy, Aiden, who is fighting his battle with cancer, and often they play video games together. By chance one day, he meets Lilly, Aiden's sister, and is immediately attracted to her – and once he gets to know the burdens she carries, he is even more impressed by her strength and tenacity.

The friendship and camaraderie which build between Lilly and Boone, as he supports her through some of the challenges she faces, is a sound foundation on which to base a future relationship. However, Lilly can't imagine how she can fit anything more in her life. But Boone is in for the long haul and comes good through thick and thin.

Emotional and intense, I really loved how this romance grew in such difficult circumstances, even if it was very sad in parts (I am tearing up just remembering). Beautiful storytelling as always; thank you, Sawyer Bennett.

Boone is a great guy. He loves to give back to his community and knows that he is paying it forward. After meeting Aiden, Boone grows especially attached to him. Aiden is fighting cancer and loves hockey. It's no chore for Boone to stop by every few days to hang out and chat.

Lilly is holding her family together. With her younger brother in the hospital fighting for his life, her dad running from ghosts, and their family business landing on her shoulders, Lilly is running around trying to keep it all going. When she meets Aiden's friend, Boone, she doesn't expect him to be so normal.

As you watch Boone and Lilly navigate their newfound friendship, it's Aiden's resilience that keeps them coming back. Aiden is such an amazing character and you'll be cheering for him throughout the book.

With the playoffs coming up, Aiden's health to worry about, and their new relationship to feed and grow, Boone and Lilly will need to lean on each other to make sure it's a winning season. You will want to grab the tissues and prepare for a book hangover.

 

 

“I want you to relax.”     “Impossible.”     “For Lilly Hoffman, nothing is impossible.”

Van2 by Sawyer Bennett

Pittsburgh Titans. Van2.

Van Turner found fame as part of the Carolina Cold Fury, helping the team bring home a championship. He also found love and married his teammate’s little sister, eventually retiring from the game to enjoy a quiet life in the verdant hills of Vermont. Now, Van’s dark past threatens to unravel his future.

I never once regretted my decision to walk away from hockey. I attained what so few in the league are able and retired at the top of my game. Besides, I had the ultimate prize by my side—my gorgeous wife, Simone. We settled into married life in Vermont and were ready to expand our family when I was blindsided by my sociopath of a parent, this time from the grave. Before dying from cancer while in prison, my serial killer father left his private diaries to a journalist. From that one bequest came a tell-all biography detailing his deranged crimes along with a litany of lies meant to ruin my life.

Knowing first-hand the horrors of growing up the product of a monster, I know there is no way I can bring a child into this drama. I refuse to allow my kid to suffer the taunting and harassment I did, so I do the only thing I can think of—I walk away from Simone and our beautiful life together. With the knowledge that she will be safe from the publicity of my shameful past and able to find a love she deserves, I return to hockey, joining the Pittsburgh Titans. The long hours on the ice are the only thing that will even remotely keep my mind off everything I’ve left behind and I know that I’ve given Simone her best chance at happiness.

But I’m clearly a man who doesn’t learn from the past and I should have known better than to underestimate my wife. The woman doesn’t know how to take “no” for an answer. She’s as persistent as I am stubborn and it’s a battle of wills as she uses all her powers of persuasion to save our marriage. Simone wore me down once, but she won’t do it again. I’m keeping my wits about me and my pants on, no matter how much she tempts me with her sexy ways. But those, my friends, are what they often call ‘famous last words’.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the tenth book in the series, and this one is a catch up for fans of the Cold Fury series too – and wow, Van needs our love and understanding in this one, and to give himself a break! I would definitely recommend that you read his first story before this one, to really get all the insight into this man's way of thinking and acting.

Van was supposed to have found his happily ever after with Simone and his success with Cold Fury, but the revelations about his evil, serial killer father ruined his life, and he left the hockey world behind. Now, his father has done one even worse and, before dying, dictated his version of his life, and more maliciously about Van's. He is broken and he leaves his home, his wife, and his life, to get back on the ice and try and blank out the noise by playing hockey.

What I loved about this book is that Simone, although deeply hurt by his actions, acts in character and does not let him get away with behaving in this way. She is tenacious, brave, and resilient. She loves him, knows he loves her, and will not let his father destroy his life with his lies. Of course, the wonderful Titan wives and partners support her, as does the team as a whole.

Such a poignant story, reminding the reader how much words can hurt and distort the truth, destroying innocent people along the way. And, more wonderfully, that love and trust can overcome an awful lot of hate.


Avid Reader – ☆☆☆☆
M/F Romance

This is a second-chance romance for sure. I loved Van’s story the first time around and this one didn’t disappoint either.

Simone is still as fiery as ever. I loved her in the first one and I respect her even more in this book.

Van is going through trauma again and this time, it’s unclear if he can come out unscathed. Without spoiling the first book, there’s trauma in that one too. Fighting for your life is something that Van knows all too well.

Simone knows that she will only ever love Van, but she can’t experience this pain for him. She just wants a chance to show him that she’s still there for him.

With the team around them both, these two will fight for their future. It’s heartwarming and full of grit and determination. You won’t be disappointed.

 

 

“You still want me. Why are you pulling away?”     “I’ll want you to the day I die, Simone. But that doesn’t change a damn thing.”

Bain by Sawyer Bennett Release Blitz

Pittsburgh Titans. Bain.

Bain Hillridge is new to the Titans and he’s building relationships with his new team, both on and off the ice. If only he could keep his hands off his teammate’s little sister.

I loved playing for the Arizona Vengeance but I’m stoked to be part of the legacy the Pittsburgh Titans is building. A team that has risen from the ashes, I’m eager to help them achieve their goal of winning a championship. I’m also looking forward to becoming part of a new hockey family. A night out with my new mates introduces me to the little sister of our goalie, Drake McGinn, and I’m powerless to resist her.

Keira and I have an instant and insatiable attraction and it doesn’t take long before we find ourselves tangled up in one another. While Drake has declared his sister off limits, I’m not deterred because I always go for what I want. I refuse to heed Drake’s warnings and take great pleasure in goading him every chance I get. It’s become one of my favorite hobbies, outside of making his sister scream my name.

As things with Keira get hotter, feelings start to develop making it a little more complicated than we intended. But a bucket of ice-cold water is tossed on our relationship and we’re forced to reprioritize everything. Neither of us were looking for more than a hot fling but fates get twisted all the time. Faced with tough decisions, Keira and I know that no matter what choices we make, our lives are never going to be the same.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the ninth book in this fabulous series, and I have loved every one of them so far! This one is fun because it runs concurrently with Camden's story, so we get a different slant on events at that time. Enjoying more of Drake and Brienne in their delicious romance as seen from Keira, his sister is also an added bonus!

Keira moved to help Drake with his boys, but now that they have moved in with Brienne, she has a bit more time for fun... and it turns out that Bain, one of her brother's teammates, looks like just the kind of guy to give her some fun. Their attraction is instant, and somewhat forbidden, but a promise to have a one and done lures them to the dark side.

It is so enjoyable watching the two of them kid themselves and each other into believing that casual is enough... and their actions most definitely speak louder than their words.

Lots of lovely hockey, fun times with the women supporting their menfolk, and love really is all around the Titans. Thank you, Sawyer Bennett, for another great read.

Bain is exactly as you picture. He's cocky, sexy, and amazing at his job. He is newer to the team, but a big part of it. When he sees the sister of a teammate, he can't help but be attracted. He knows she's off limits, but she's also super sexy and alluring.

Keira is living her life, but also a huge support to her brother, Drake. She loves her nephews and loves her life, but she also has dreams and wants to be able to pursue them. She wants to live life on her terms. Having quick romances is just the solution.

Both Bain and Keira are gun shy when it comes to relationships, but they're willing to scratch the itch together whenever they feel like it. When feelings start to get mixed into their interludes, how will two people who are afraid of commitment handle them?

Can these two trust enough to take a leap of faith? Or will their past dictate their future?

This is a super sweet story that ended kind of quick for me. I wanted more at the end, but you won't be disappointed.

 

 

I can tell that if you and I engaged in a kiss, it would never be enough.

Camden by Sawyer Bennett Release Blitz

Pittsburgh Titans. Camden. Available Now.

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.

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.


Avid Reader – ☆☆☆☆
M/F Friends-to-Lovers

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.
