Meet the Arizona Vengeance, hockeyβs hottest new team. Theyβre burning up the iceβuntil a one-night-stand with the coachβs daughter freezes one player in his skates.
Bishop Scott, co-captain. Not too shabby, huh? Itβs all part of my fresh start with the NHLβs latest expansion team, and that means new teammates, a new coach, a new city, and a big new contract. Basically, I cannot f***ing wait to show my old squad what theyβre missing.
But first, I decide to check out the town before the grind begins. Turns out Arizona chicks are totally smokinβ, and Iβm fortunate enough to meet one whoβs looking for the same thing I am: a night of anonymous, unforgettable, no-strings-attached sex.
Fast forward to the Vengeance arena. Itβs the last place I expect to see her againβlet alone in her own office. Then bells go off and I finally realize who this girl is: Brooke Perron. My new coachβs daughter. All of a sudden, weβre picking up right where we left off, which means our hands are all over each other. Thatβs when her dadβmy bossβwalks in. And before I can get a word out, Brookeβs introducing me as her fiancΓ©.
Sure, she just saved my ass. So why do I get the feeling Brookeβs going to turn my world upside down? Maybe itβs because this fake relationship feels way too real. . . .

I love everything Sawyer Bennett writes, especially her books about sexy hockey players. Β So naturally, I was excited to learn she is starting the new Arizona Vengeance hockey series. The Arizona Vengeance are a new hockey franchise and the owner has been able to hire some of the best players from all the teams around the country. Β This first story in the series is about Bishop, one of the players traded to the Arizona Vengeance.
Bishop is still adjusting to his trade when, just before training camp starts, he meets Brooke at a bar and they have a one-night stand. Β Afterwards, Bishop discovers Brooke is his new coachβs daughter and she also works for the Arizona Vengeance. Bishop is surprised and nervous by this turn of events. When Bishop’s new coach finds him kissing Brooke, they decide to pretend they are in a relationship.
Bishop and Brooke try to keep their distance from each other, Β but circumstances keep bringing them together. As they spend more time together, they discover they have a lot in common, enjoy each otherβs company and share a lot of chemistry. I liked both Bishop and Brooke and thought they complement each other. Bishop is a great guy; he is caring and protective of Brooke and he also has a good relationship with his teammates. Brooke is sweet, has a big heart and she canβt help herself from falling for Bishop.
This is a feel good, fun story with great writing and dialogue. Β The characters are easy to connect with and there are lots of entertaining secondary characters. I canβt wait I read more books in this series.
