Lexi has been in NC for a few months, her mother dying of cancer and leaving her with a piece of news that she must act one. Sawyer did a great job surprising us with this one. Bringing Lexi in and having that dynamic of the Cold Fury organization change was a nice way to show the soft side of both Gray and Brian.
We get to see Roman go from hard to soft when he is speaking to Lexi. We get to see these two get to know one another. The friendship that evolves with them is really nice to watch. We also get to see a little of Ryker and Gray with the girls. It is nice to get a little bit of the older characters, although I was disappointed there was no Zack, but I am selfish that way with my favorite Cold Fury player.
I cannot wait for Lucas's book this fall. Sawyer has many projects but I always anxiously await for the new book in this series.
New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett steams up the ice all over again as the Carolina Cold Fury hockey team’s hottest bad boy gets his first taste of something good.
In a league full of troublemakers, Cold Fury defenseman Roman Sýkora stands out—at least when it comes to negative publicity. When he’s not chilling in the penalty box, the sizzling Czech skate demon is racking up tabloid headlines for his scandalous behavior with the ladies. But now Roman’s feeling the burn from management to clean up his act, or else. Luckily he’s got an enticing distraction: a fun-loving barista who plays the ukulele and brings out a side of Roman he didn’t know he had.
Lexi Robertson came to Raleigh, North Carolina, to finally meet her father, Brian Brannon, and her half sister, Gray, both of whom work in the Cold Fury’s front office. That’s where she first meets sexy, intimidating Roman—who’s really a big softie at heart. As one relationship takes off, another begins: Brian seems to be clicking with Lexi’s boss at the coffee shop. But when the friction between Roman and her new family heats up, Lexi wonders whether she’s a pawn in their game. Feeling hurt and foolish, Lexi’s ready to quit while she’s ahead. Trouble is, Roman’s not ready to quit on her.
