Alex: A Cold Fury Hockey Novel | Sawyer Bennett
16 posts | 15 read | 4 to read
New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett scores big-time with the first novel in a sexy new series hot enough to melt the ice. Hockey star Alexander Crossman has a reputation as a cold-hearted player on and off the rink. Pushed into the sport by an alcoholic father, Alex isnt afraid to give fans the proverbial middle finger, relishing his role as the MVP they love to hate. Management, however, isnt so amused. Now Alex has a choice: fix his public image through community service or ride the bench. But Alex refuses to be molded into the Carolina Cold Fury poster boy . . . not even by a tempting redhead with killer curves. As a social worker, Sutton Price is accustomed to difficult peoplelike Alex, whos been assigned to help her create a drug-abuse awareness program for at-risk youth as part of the teams effort to clean up his image. What she doesnt expect is the arrogant smirk from his perfect lips to stir her most heated fantasies. But Sutton isnt one to cross professional boundariesand besides, Alex doesnt do relationships . . . or does he? The more she sees behind Alexs bad-boy faade, the more Sutton craves the man she uncovers.

Alex hit me with all the feels! Check the CWs on this one though. I loved this book, I was laughing and teared up. The grovel was great and the family moments were so cute. But the relationship that develops between Alex and Sutton was so deep. They‘ve both dealt with abuse and parental drug use, but both reacted so differently to that history. I loved seeing them talk things through and fall in love. I can‘t wait to read more in this series.

As the daughter of an alcoholic, I appreciated both characters and loved them. This was a wonderful read that also dealt with hard issues.

Meditating was harder this week since my area is part of the heat wave. Even with my ac on full blast it is still 80 degrees in my room.

wanderinglynn A great week despite the heat! 🙌🏻 And I feel you—when you can‘t get cool, it‘s hard to do anything! Adapt your goals as needed to deal with the heatwave. 5y

This was an easy read that popped up on Overdrive when I needed something that didn't take too much focus. The story was good and the writing was okay. There were a few typos which I hate catching, but overall it was fine book!

The letter A for #LitsyAtoZ.

A friend recommended this to me for the love of hockey, it was fun, not the best written but enjoyable. Heavy dose of angst #romance #bookbingo

A good contemporary romance. The structure of interchanging pov is classic but in this case, well used. Both Alex and Sutton are full rounded characters that grow and fall for each other. The obstacles they face could have been offered in a superfical way but not so. Kudos to the writer, who dealt with difficult issues well. #romantsy

Two games worth listening/watching tonight. Pens in Boston and the rookies playing back to back games are in Philly. It's going to be Pens with checking the score of the Leafs. Another good night for reading and hockey. #readingandwatchinghockey

writerlibrarian Oh and Captain Toews is also playing tonight. Way too much hockey tonight. Pens are leading 2-0. Sid is on the board and Schultz has two points too. Leafs are down 1-0. (edited) 8y
writerlibrarian Marchand "the pest" scores twice and it's tied 2 all. After 2 periods, it's 3-2 Boston. Leafs are tied at 1 and Chicago had a really bad start with the Jets up 2-0 early in the first. (edited) 8y

Let's hope tonight is a better hockey night than last night. Both my teams lost badly. The rookies are up to a good start. Matthews opening the game with a lovely, lovely goal. So hockey romance novel (and it's really good so far) and Leafs' hockey. #readingandlisteningtohockey

missevievelyn Yay hockey!! I'm also watching that game tonight and rooting for the leafs! 8y
writerlibrarian @missevievelyn The kids had a good first period. They are fun to watch. 8y
missevievelyn @writerlibrarian yes a lot of fun!! 8y

writerlibrarian Second period is all Kadri's. That fantastic play to save a goal and setting up the Leaf's second goal just fantastic. 8y
writerlibrarian Leafs have a 4 goals lead. They shouldn't mess it up. 8y
writerlibrarian They won, they won, they won. (To the tune of Hamilton's Yorktown). 8y

Not my fave snack bit definitely my favourite meal right now. Spinach, clementines, pomegranate, nuts and your fave dressing. Proteins, greens and vitamin C. The hockey romance is quite good so far. #bookwithfavesnack #readjanuary

The Hometown Hockey game is Canucks vs Hawks. So here's some Captain Toews. The hockey romance so far is interesting if somewhat rigid in the format : alternating chapters of pov of the hero and heroine. #readingandwatchinghockey

writerlibrarian Captain picked up an assist. It's 1-0 Hawks. 🏒And another Captain's assist on Kane's goal. It's 2-0 after 1 period of play. After 2, still 2-0. (edited) 8y
writerlibrarian Canucks tied but Toews prevailed with a goal at 23 seconds to go and an assist to the last goal. A really good night for Captain Toews. 4-2 Hawks. ✊ 8y

Saturday night is hockey night in Canada. Leafs win or lose with the rookies. Read SPQR this afternoon. Octavian leaves a bad taste in your mind. So I'm going with something a little more pleasant. #readingandwatchinghockey. Go rookies!!! 🏒🏒🏒🏒

writerlibrarian The kids are behind. The Sens are ahead 1-0. 3 penalties kinda put a down on your game. And wow that jacket on Cherry... that was something. (edited) 8y
writerlibrarian On PP, Bozak and Kadri make it 1-1. 8y
writerlibrarian The rookies lead 2-1 with a Martin goal. 8y

writerlibrarian @LeahBergen Go luck against McDavid. ✊ 8y
LeahBergen Blah!!! 😂😂 8y
writerlibrarian Delay the game penalty and ...man... Sens score but Leafs challenge. But man.... kids...you like to dig yourself in don't you? Goal stands. We are probably going into OT. 8y
writerlibrarian OT is over, we go into shoot out. Which the kids are reaaaaly not good at. Sens win in shoot out. Leafs still suck in shoot out. (edited) 8y

Almost done with my current contemporary romance. Just in time this hockey romance was on sale today. So many games were on today with bonus game of the evening : Sidney vs Ovi. Will the Pens break their three games losing streak or will Ovi and the Caps prevail ? #readingandwatchinghockey #romantsy

writerlibrarian First period was all Ovi. Second period, Geno took things in hands and it's been crazy hockey all through the period, chasing Holtby away. It's 5-4 Pens after they were behind 0-3 at the start of the 2nd. With less then 3 minutes to go, Caps score. It's tied at 5. Wild hockey. Malkin's response is a goal. Hat trick for Geno. It's 6-5. Wild hockey indeed. (edited) 8y
writerlibrarian Third period is still a little wild... Sid scores and the Pens have a one goal insurance. But for how long. Maata two bad penalties cost the Pens a goal. Oshie scored. It's 7-6 with 10 minutes to go. 5 minutes to go it's tied at 7 all. Crazy hockey. (edited) 8y
writerlibrarian And we are going to OT. 34 seconds in Sheary scores and Elvis has left the building. (edited) 8y
