About this ebook

“[Sawyer] Bennett has scored a hat trick with the third installment in the Cold Fury Hockey series. It reads well as a stand-alone, and sports fans who love the players as much as the game will be very satisfied with the intense action both on and off the ice.”—Library Journal

Warning: The following contains spoilers from a cliffhanger in Garrett.

Rising star Zack Grantham has been stuck in a downward spiral of grief that has put his career on hold. Back on the road with the Carolina Cold Fury, still crippled by emotional baggage, and now a single dad, he’s in need of some serious help with his son. But while the nerdy new nanny wins his son’s heart, Zack isn’t sure he’s ready for a woman’s touch—even after getting a glimpse of the killer curves she’s hiding under those baggy clothes.

Kate Francis usually keeps men like Zack at a distance. Though his athlete’s body is honed to perfection, he refuses to move on with his life—and besides, he’s her boss. Still, the sparks between them are undeniable, tempting Kate to turn their professional relationship into a personal one. But before she makes a power play for Zack’s wounded heart, Kate will have to open him up again and show him that love is worth the fight.

Ratings and reviews

SO Good!! This may be my favorite book of the year so far, definitely top five! Sawyer Bennett did a magical job with the writing of this story. While the story could have been sad, what you feel with these characters is hope and life continuing after a devastating loss. Kate is a great character with her wacky sense of humor and brutally honest way of speaking to people. She was perfect for Zack while he worked through his grief and guilt. And the relationship between Kate and Ben is beautiful. Everyone needs to make sure this one is on their MUST read list. I highly recommend it.

So emotional but so good! Zack loses his long-time girlfriend and the mother of his son in a car accident in the previous book and Zack is in a spiral. Needing a nanny to help with Ben he hires Kate. She is not what you would expect but definitely what he needs. However, when he finally sees under her baggy clothes and chunky glasses his body wakes up and the chemistry between them is explosive. All he wants is sex and he keeps telling her that is all it is but will that be all it remains? Oh, these two are so cute and the roller coaster they are on is crazy. Definitely recommend this one!

Great read!
