Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The rugged men of the Carolina Cold Fury hockey team are winning hearts once again in another scorching novel from Sawyer Bennett.
The stakes have never been higher for Carolina Cold Fury goalie Ryker Evans. With his contract running out, he’s got a year left to prove he’s still at the top of his game. And since his wife left him, Ryker has been balancing life as a pro-hockey star and a single parent to two daughters. Management is waiting for him to screw up. The fans are ready to pounce. Everybody’s taking dirty shots—except for the fiery redhead whose faith in Ryker gives him a fresh start.
As the league’s only female general manager, Gray Brannon has learned not to mix business with pleasure. And yet even this tough, talented career woman can’t help breaking her own rules as she gives Ryker everything she’s got. She hopes their hot streak will last forever, but with Ryker’s conniving ex plotting to reclaim her man, the pressure’s on Gray to step up and save a tender new love before it’s too late.

5By Cala4eEnjoyed this book. Ending so completely different from the others in the series.Love the Brick!!!
5By OmahanutProbably my favorite character so far The Brick!!! Great read, highly recommend!RYKER
5By siatimoRyker , Zack and Alex’s Stories make reading this series warm and worthy. I was in no way enamored of Van. Van was interesting, the vacuous, spoiled heroine was disgusting. Thank you for veering back to worthy decent characters.The BRICK WALL .... Does it again! SCORE!!!!
5By Nurse AndeeAbsolutely loved this new book in the series. Gray and Ryker find that falling in love was the easy part for them. The staying together under very difficult circumstances ( she's the GM for the hockey team he's on) is the hard part. They both realize that they r willing to sacrifice everything they thought they wanted in life for their love. A must read.Perfection!!!
5By Cheryl SDSOh, what a beautiful man! He's gorgeous and after a crash course from Kate, he's great with his daughters. He's attentive and loves being in a relationship. Perfect! Of course he would want the one woman he can have. All of the books in the Cold Fury Hockey series are fabulous but "Ryker" is a masterpiece as a man and as a book. He's a good person. I love how he always thinks of Gray or his children first. He doesn't make rash decisions and has his life in order. When he loves, he loves with all that he is and is willing to make sacrifices for that love that no ordinary man would choose to make. I highly recommend this book and this series. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed is my own.5 of 5 Ryker STARS!!!
5By RayeReviews5 of 5 Ryker STARS!!! I need and want A RYKER EVANS! Where may I find a magic mistletoe to conjure up a RYKER? I was happy, crying, then needed a hockey ice stick to cause some damage (well no more needs to be said; My Secret ;) Well-written compelling plot. Bennett knows how to write a humorous sex scene and have a reader laughing. Love the many deference of morals entwined into the plot. Thank you for the 101 on hockey. I'm speechless! It's 4:28 a.m. and attempting to write a review. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend this brilliant, sensual, romantic hockey novelAmazing
5By Day728The whole series is excellent!!! Just love this story of Ryker and Gray! ❤️Hot & Sweet Hockey Romance!
5By AstroyicLoved Ryker! What a sweet, hot alpha male. This was a fast paced super steamy read and I really liked it a lot. It was told from both points of views which I Loved. Ryker and Gray have so much chemistry and I think they're great together, the pull they have on one another has that need that makes it even more passionate. Ryker is so into her and I enjoyed him opening up and being so honest and sweet. He was charming, sexy and so persistent. I loved his attitude and the power he exuded but also his gentleness and love for his daughters, and Gray. Ryker "The Brick" is in the final year of his contract and is playing the best hockey of his career with The Carolina Cold Fury. He is insanely gorgeous with a Thor like body and has even graced the cover of GQ. But he has only been with the Cold Fury for a year since he was let go by the Boston Eagles after he punched his wife's new boy toy. So he is in the process of finalizing his divorce from Hensley who cheated on him with a fellow teammate, Patric Sutter and then dumped their two young daughters Violet and Ruby on Ryker so she could follow the team to be by her new boy toy's side. Struggling at first Ryker is finally getting all of his daddy duties down. I loved the alpha maleness from him, but also how he could be so loving and protective. It was so nice to get to see the softer side of him. Grayson Brannon is the daughter and heir to the Brannon fortune and is the first female general manager of a pro-hockey team. Her father is the CEO and President of the Carolina Cod Fury. But Gray has a lot going for her besides for that, a genius IQ, and a gold and silver Olympic medals as goalie of the U.S. Women's Ice Hockey team and a life long life of hockey. She is also a beautiful, sexy woman with a smokin hot body and the face of an angel. She recruited Ryker when she was the top scout for the team and is finding herself pulled in by his eyes, hot body and charming nature. But she is his boss and any relationship with a player would be frowned upon by the League and Gray has always done what is right. So what will happen if she doesn't do the right thing? Will their chemistry be worth the price she might have to pay? You will have to read this to find out. Loved it! Highly recommended!!! Received a copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Worth the wait!!
