Title: Love This Series!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018
Review: I can’t tell you how ecstatic I was when I was approved for an ARC of this book. It’s no secret that I adore this series. I was so excited that I wouldn’t have to wait to read Marek after how much I enjoyed Reed. Alas, I was right when I published my review of Reed…my life got too busy and I still ended up waiting far too long to read this story. The good news is, I had it waiting for me when I was ready and I didn’t have to wait on a waiting list.

Of course, I was chomping at the bit to read Marek’s story after what happened to him in Reed’s story. Man, Marek ticked me off at the beginning. Where I can totally understand where he was coming from when it comes to Gracen, his daughter Lilly deserved so much more. Luckily, Marek has friends who aren’t afraid to call him on his bull so it wasn’t long before Marek stepped up to the plate.

As much as I wanted to dislike Gracen for what she did, for the most part I liked her. She is a good mom who made some very stupid and hurtful decisions. I don’t really understand why nobody brings up the fact that her parents didn’t push the issue a bit more, especially when it came to Marek’s parents. Of course, Gracen is an adult and was going to make her own choices, but it almost seemed like there was little to no input from her parents who should have been helping to guide her a bit more. Anyway, as I said, I mostly liked Gracen. There was a bit toward the end, a fight Gracen and Marek have, that made me dislike her the way I thought I would through the whole story. She said some terrible things. Sure, so did Marek…but his hurtful words were his defense mechanism kicking in after he felt attacked my her.

Speaking of that fight, I love the matter of fact way Marek’s dad put that into perspective. It’s great how Marek doesn’t want to believe what his dad has to say at first. It can’t be as simple as that, can it? But the man has been married a long time and gives good advise.

While I don’t see that there are any more Cold Fury books on tap at this time, it seems we’ll be getting plenty more hockey from Sawyer Bennet. In August the first Arizona Vengeance book is due out, looks like it will be an expansion team for the hockey gods Ms. Bennett writes about. I cannot wait!

Title: Another solid addition to the Cold Fury series!

Review: **I received an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**

Marek is the 11th book in Sawyer Bennett's Cold Fury Hockey series and while it helps to read all of the books in the series, this title can standalone and you don't lose anything. What I can say is after reading the previous book in the series, Reed, I was more than ready to get my hands on this one based on the way Reed's book ended.

Marek Fabritis has had two loves in his life, hockey and his ex-girlfriend Gracen Moore. However when it came down to it years ago, he chose hockey over Gracen. When he gets an anonymous email saying that she's getting married, there is no way that Marek can let that happen, so he sets out to stop the wedding. Not only is it about not wanting her to end up with someone else, he doesn't want anyone else to be the father figure to his three year old daughter. A daughter that he has just learned about. A daughter he has missed three years with.

When Marek brings Gracen and Lilly to North Carolina to live with him, you can cut the tension between the two adults with a knife. As Marek begins to get to know Lilly, he can't seem to get past the deception of Gracen not telling him she was pregnant. Conversely, Gracen is still deeply wounded by the fact that Marek chose hockey over her.

Will the years these two have been apart given them the maturity and clarity to try to make it work between them or is it all they can hope for to co-parent their daughter and move on apart from one another? And, will another secret that Gracen is harboring end up causing more trouble than anyone can imagine?

I really enjoyed the "realness" of this book. It was easy for me to see how the feelings of the characters could happen in the real world and how they both had to really take stock of themselves, their feelings and the best interests of their young child. Sawyer Bennett is one of my favorite authors and this is one of my favorite series and this was certainly another strong offering!

Title: Sawyer Bennett did it again.

Review: Sawyer Bennett did it again.

This story in the Cold Fury story we get to see Marek in the spotlight.

At the end of Reed and Josie's story you witnessed him running up to New York to stop the wedding between his ex-girlfriend Gracen and Owen Waller; the town's bad boys. On top of stopping the wedding he finds out that he and Gracen had a daughter; a daughter that he was never told about named Lilly.

For the first few chapters you get to see Marek's angst and anger. He's trying to deal with the fact that Gracen kept their daughter a secret while also trying to find a way to talk to the young girl.

Throughout the book you get to see the struggles of Marek coming to terms with the fact that he has a daughter to raise, while trying to get over Gracen's betrayal all while dealing with his attraction to her.

Gracen not only has to deal with the fact that she still loves Marek, but she also has to deal with the man she left at the alter, Owen Waller. The man who is threatening to ruin her parents if she doesn't come back and marry him.

In this book you get to go on an emotional rollercoaster ride with Marek and Gracen as they help each other learn how to deal with hidden demons and co-parent while trying to hide your real feelings for the other parent.

Just like all of Sawyer Bennett's other books, you can't help but cheer for the main characters to come together and feel a sense of peace when they finally find a way to forgive and love one another in the end.

If you love hockey, well written romance, and characters that keep you coming back for more, I highly recommend this book and the rest of the Cold Fury Hockey series.
