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 isn’t afraid to give fans the proverbial middle finger, relishing his role as the MVP they love to hate. Management, … MVP they love to hate. Management, however, isn’t 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 people — like Alex, who’s been assigned to help her create a drug-abuse awareness program for at-risk youth as part of the team’s effort to clean up his image. What she doesn’t expect is the arrogant smirk from his perfect lips to stir her most heated fantasies. But Sutton isn’t one to cross professional boundaries — and besides, Alex doesn’t do relationships… or does he? The more she sees behind Alex’s bad-boy façade, the more Sutton craves the man she uncovers.

I first read this one when it first came out but decided to start this series in audio and, oh my, Alex is just as hot and sexy in audio form as he was on my kindle.

I’m not sure what my problem was. I adore hockey romances. They’re my favorite in the sports genre to read. So I started this book a couple of years ago on my Kindle and got 55% in and never picked it back up. Since then Sawyer Bennett has written many more books in this series and several in a spinoff series and I was desperate to read them. My …

I love Sawyers style of writing. I also love reading a series about the players on a hockey team where all the books are intertwined
This was my first Sawyer Bennett book and I fell in love with her writing style. The characters inner monologues were hysterical at times and so real and believable. Alex Crossman is a professional hockey player who is being forced to clean up his image. Sutton Price is the woman he’ll be working with on an anti-drug campaign. Alex is drawn to …
Loved this book! Great characters, great story, great romance. Alex and Sutton both have lots of baggage, it’s heavy but doesn’t weigh the story down. The romance is sweet at first, both characters are charming and it’s easy to fall in love with them. Alex isn’t the jerk everyone thinks he is. The language is mostly clean, but there is some …
Love, love, love the start of this series. Sawyer Bennett is an excellent author who always has me loving her books. Alex is a hockey player who isn’t very likable. Sutton is a social worker who is as good as gold. At first Alex was a total dickweed, but as his story unfolded I just wanted to give him a hug. Sutton is someone whom all girls should …
Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Review When it comes to Sutton Alex always makes his intentions clear, “as in a date,” I tell her while looking at her levelly in the eye. “Of course, we can talk more about this if you want, but I’m asking you out on a date.” Sutton she’s a little temptress when Alex doesn’t move fast enough, “lifting her eyes to meet mine, she takes …
I really loved this book. I’m not a big hockey fan in general, but man does Sawyer Bennett know how to write about some sexy hockey players. Alex was so hard not to love even if he was a total prick at the beginning of the book.
It was hard not to like Alex as pieces of his past get revealed. Alex had a crappy childhood with a drunk abusive …
I love Sawyer Bennett!!! Yes, I know I say that in almost every review I do on her books but what can I say. I am a HUGE fan!!! I read this book after a couple of very intense books & it was EXACTLY what I needed. Light, with just the right amount of drama.
Sutton was one of my all-time favorite female characters. She is strong, compassionate, …
I’ve had this series in my Nook library for a while. I’m not really sure why I haven’t picked it up before now, though. I like Sawyer Bennett’s writing style, so it’s not that. Maybe I was just waiting for the middle of hockey season? Who knows, but I’m glad I finally decided to pick it up.
Alex is Cold Fury’s MVP, Most Valuable Prick, it’s a …
