Publisher Description
Drake McGinn turned his back on hockey after the league betrayed him. Will the Titans be his chance to clear his name and take back the career he once loved?
After I made the decision to divorce, my ex-wife set out on a smear campaign against me, telling anyone who would listen that I was betting on hockey and throwing games. It wasn’t surprising that my ex told the lies, but the fact that the media, league, and fans chose to believe her baseless claims was unforgivable. I walked away from it all and never looked back.
Having settled into life as a single dad to three boys, I’m content. I have more money than I could ever need, and plenty of time to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and whoever I want. So when Brienne Norcross, the team owner for the Pittsburgh Titans, shows up at my house with a job offer, I have no problem turning her down. But the no-nonsense billionaire, with sinfully seductive red lips and killer heels that would look hot as hell thrown over my shoulders, won’t take “no” for an answer.
Now I need to find balance between hockey, my boys, and the explosive chemistry Brienne and I can no longer deny. A cast-off hockey player and the league’s only female team owner? I can think of a million reasons why it could never work but can’t bring myself to care about a single one of them. Game on.

I could not wait for Drake. I just knew he would be all broody, bossy, sexy and well a page turner! Check and check! He falls for the Team Owner while they play between the sheets the story is a true love match. I love the series and Drake was a multi level addition. I could not wait for his “past” to show up so I read non stop to get there! Brienne and him make such a redemption couple that you will be hooked. I loved how Drake’s alpha biker mixed with Brienne the corporate titan. Hope the characters are included in the future books so we can keep them altogether. Cannon is next!!!

Drake is the fifth book in the Pittsburgh Titans series by Sawyer Bennett.
Drake has a throne in his side with the league since they turned their back on him but Brienne wants Drake on the Titans. Drake finally agrees to play for them but they both get more than they expected.
Drake and Brienne are fierce, feisty, and completely combustible. Drake and Brienne are both very strong and stubborn. Drake melts your heart when he was with his boys and sets you on fire with his dirty talk. This was my favourite book of the series to date.
Aiden Snow and Maxine Mitchelle were the perfect selections for Drake, Brienne and their story.
Get ready for... sports (hockey), workplace, forbidden, m/f, dual first-person pov.

4.5stars-seductive and passionate romance
4.5stars—DRAKE is the fifth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary adult PITTSBURGH TITANS erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the members of the NHL’s Pittsburgh Titans. This is goalie and single father Drake McGinn, and team owner Brienne Norcross’ story line. DRAKE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion, as there is an ongoing premise throughout. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
SOME BACKGROUND: Several months earlier, a devastating plane crashed claimed all but three members of the Pittsburgh Titans hockey team including owners, coaches and staff. Rebuilding the team, owner Brienne Norcross, offered positions to one-time professional and semi-pro players, including our story line hero.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Drake and Brienne) DRAKE follows in the wake of the Pittsburgh Titans attempt at signing goalie Drake McGinn. One year earlier Drake’s personal and professional life imploded when his now ex-wife started a smear campaign that ended Drake’s hockey career with the devastating fall-out. The lies and nightmare ended with a divorce and Drake awarded sole custody of all three of his boys, leaving Drake bitter and resentful against the team for which he once played. Fast forward to present day wherein Brienne and the Titans offer Drake a position as first string goalie, but our hero struggles in the wake of past betrayal and lies. Signing with Pittsburgh brings Drake up close and personal with our story line heroine, where they will embark on a secret affair that ends when Drake’s past returns, pushing Brienne out of his life. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Brienne and Drake, as our couple continue to deny their growing feelings, opting to label their relationship nothing more than booty calls and scratching an itch.
Drake and Brienne are determined to keep their affair a secret. Brienne believes their relationship is crossing an invisible line, and Drake refuses to get involved with another woman who could potentially destroy his life. As the weeks pass, their relationship slowly turns into something more but Drake continues to battle between head and heart having loved and lost everything, once before. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.
Most of the previous story line couples and characters return including GM Callum Derringer, and newcomer Cannon West. We are introduced to Drake’s children, as well as his ex-wife Crystal.
DRAKE is a story of betrayal and lies, secrets and trepidation, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is heart breaking, captivating and inviting; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are determined, charismatic and dynamic.
