Publisher Description
Score one for the Carolina Cold Fury hockey team as a stone-cold badass melts for a woman who makes his blood run hot.
As one of the league’s toughest enforcers, Van Turner is ruthless on the ice. He plays hard because it’s the only way to channel the rage boiling inside, and a reputation as an A-hole is better than everyone knowing the truth. Van has spent his entire life running from a secret that’s kept him from getting involved in relationships—or accepting lucrative deals with East Coast teams. Then the Carolina Cold Fury makes him an offer he can’t refuse . . . and Van meets a woman he can’t resist.
Simone Fournier is the stubborn one in her family—and that’s saying something, considering her brothers are two of the Cold Fury’s biggest stars. Simone gets what she wants, and what she wants is Van. Still, there’s a part of him Simone can’t reach, no matter how hard she tries. In private, he’s all fire and passion. In public, he freezes her out. Van may want to push her away, but Simone won’t let him go that easily. Because this time, she’s playing for keeps.

Great addition to a brilliant series
Book 9 in the Cold Fury Hockey Series and for me this series seems to be getting better with every player we read about, I have fallen for every player in this team for very different reasons and once again Sawyer Bennett gives us another great player this time its the broody, hot and dirty Van.
This may be a hot read but it’s also a emotional story that takes you into the mind of Van a guy who though he couldn’t love, a guy who thought relationships were for other people and a guy who has closed himself off well that was until he met and ended up sharing a house with the bold and sassy Simone Fournier, a girl who goes after what she wants and she wants Van. Problem is he wants nothing to do with her for a few reasons one being she is the sister of a couple of his teammates and thats a line you don’t cross unless you are prepared to go the distance.
Everyone of these books can be read as a standalone but I do feel that once you read one you will want to read the others in this brilliant hockey series because every player has a different story and Sawyer Bennett has a way with her words that will make you feel like the Cold Fury Team are your friends, she will have you cheering them on at the games and wishing then HEA in their love life’s.
Love Van and this must read series.
Fantastic addition
5 star Review Van (Cold Fury Hockey # 9) by Sawyer Bennett
This is book 9 in the series and another winner for Sawyer Bennett in my humble opinion. These books keep getting better and better. Each time I read a book I think there is no chance that he will become my favourite and yet Sawyer Bennett proves me wrong time and again.
If you haven’t read the previous book in the series Lucas, I would suggest you read it first as this story line is concurrent with it.
I may well be in the minority but I really loved Van from the beginning. Maybe because he screams bad boy with a heart of gold, I have no idea, all I know is I was drawn to him and the feisty and saucy Simone Fournier who captures his attention despite himself.
From the outset it is obvious that Van is fighting his attraction for his room mate's sister Simone, also obvious that he has an extremely troubled past which is impacting him now. Simone is at a cross roads in her life after ditching her studies to become a doctor, she is uncertain what or where her future lies.
It is obvious that the Fournier family love and support each other , no matter what and this shines through in Van as Simone struggles with her future and her choices.
Simone is one fiercely determined, almost dominant woman, she knows what she wants and is determined to get her man; Van on the other hand is equally determined to stay away from her.
.
Van and Simone together absolutely sizzle, their chemistry smoulders to a point where you expect them to explode. But is that enough to keep these two together or will their passion burn out? Can these lost souls, fight the demons within and come together for a happily ever after? Will they both dare to take a chance? Will Van be able to confront his past and let Simone in or will he turn away from her ? You will have to read Van to find out.
This series gets better and better and the Cold Fury team seems to me to be a family and I loved catching up on the previous couples and seeing what is happening in their lives.
