Erik

There is always something so great about a second chance romance. This one though I really connected with. I loved that Erik didn't remember Blue and that she didn't put up with any stuff from him. He strived to show her how much he had changed and how much he wanted her and wanted to be a part of her life.

This is another great hockey chain from Ms. Bennett. I love these hot hockey stories with cocky jocks who fall hard for their women. Another great read!

Erik
An Arizona Vengeance Novel
By: Sawyer Bennett
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Ava Erickson

I loved everything about this book, from Sawyer Bennett’s fabulous writing style to the wonderful storylines and characters she created as well as the superb narration. This is the second book in her “Arizona Vengeance” series and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. Erik is not only a player for the Arizona Vengeance Hockey team he has a reputation of being a play amongst the ladies too. When he gets no where whey he attempts to flirt with the team’s new flight attendant, Blue Gardner. She does not give him the time of the day. She is not just a challenge to him, the more he finds out about her the more he is intrigued by her. When he finds out they had already met he wants a do over and tries to win her over. I loved what he did to get a date with her, loved his teammate reactions too, so funny. These two were great together and for each other, Erik was awesome with her brother. Erik & Blue’s story is a wonderful second chance romance, I loved how it all played out, there is drama, humor, some angst and plenty of heartfelt moments. Thank you Sawyer Bennett for another amazing story, I am looking forward to enjoying more of your great reads/listens.

I listened to the Audible edition, Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson are fabulous narrators and voice artists. They bring these characters to life, give each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. They do an amazing job projecting the emotions of the characters as well as the drama of the story into their performance. Jason’s portrayal of Erik was spot on, as was Ava’s Blue. It is always a pleasure to listen to these talented & entertaining storytellers. Thank you for another fabulous listen🎧

Erik, a starting player for the Vengeance, is a player. He's charming, funny, with a smile that makes women fall at his feet--except Blue. Blue can't stand Erik and everything he stands for. Blue works hard as a stewardess for the Vengeance and often works two jobs just so she can provide for her special needs brother, Billy. Erik has never had problems with the ladies, but Blue is a mystery to him. She's cordial, but on the cool to downright rude side. But Erik vows to get to the bottom of her hatred of him.

As a child, Blue always wanted a sibling. When her brother was born with special needs, she didn't mind helping her mom care for him--until she graduated and wanted to leave to pursue dreams of acting and/or singing. Swamped with guilt at not being home to help with her brother when her parents died, Blue immediately moves home to make her brother her only priority. While Blue used to be a "party girl", she isn't that person anymore. Therefore, Erik the "player", is off limits.

Woohoo! Great story, awesome goodness! I loved the interaction between Erik and Billy. I felt as though he showed Billy love and attention because he truly enjoyed spending time with him--not just to earn points with Blue. I loved that Tacker was opening up a bit more as well. I love that Erik was able to alleviate some of Blue past guilt while showing her he was a changed man. I about died when Erik insisted Blue attend her high school party to rub it in the "mean girls" faces that she was gorgeous AND dating a pro hockey player! HILARIOUS!!! Sooo relatable! I highly recommend this novel! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
