I built myself up from nothing. A product of the foster care system, I learned early on how to fight hard to get what I want. Whether it was starting my first company in college, earning my first billion, or buying my first professional sports team, I know how to get what I want, when I want it.Until now.Willow Monahan is fierce, independent, and hot as hell. She also takes great pleasure in … pleasure in shutting down my advances. The younger sister of one of my star players, Willow intrigues me to my very core. And while she may have willingly given me her body, she is hesitant to offer up more. Now I’m on a mission to find out why.
I’ve decided to approach my desire for Willow like I’ve approached much of my life; with persistence, determination, and a whole lot of that Dominik Carlson alpha charm. Buying a hockey expansion team, building the Arizona Vengeance from the ground up, and bringing home a championship may prove to be an easier feat than winning Willow’s heart.
But I’ve never been a quitter.
Willow Monahan… I’m coming for you.

Can I just say I’ve been waiting for Dominik’s book since the beginning. We got glimpses of Dominik, the owner of the Arizona Vengeance, from the beginning and talk about one intriguing human. I knew his story was going to be a good one. As soon as Willow was added to the mix I knew this book was going to be a whole other level of goodness.
This book is what happens when two fiercely independent and driven personalities, who initially want nothing but one night of uninhibited sexy times, have the best night of their lives. Except after one goes back to her life of danger and intrigue, the other has been blindsided and needs more from the fiery reporter and sister of one of his players. Talk about interesting read! Right!
Believe me when I say you definitely want to one click this book and start it right away!
Dominik & Willow’s story is a long-awaited (not really, but it felt like a long wait!) story of the Vengeance owner and the photojournalist/hockey star’s sister. Dominik is an awesome boss with the team and has shown that he really cares about the players and their families, so getting his backstory and HEA has been really important. I think Sawyer Bennett did an excellent job humanizing this billionaire (millionaire? It’s just a few zeroes!). Willow was fiercely independent, which is an awesome feature in a romance with an alpha male personality. Loved them both! Can’t wait for more from Arizona!
Dominik is the sixth standalone in the Arizona Vengeance series by Sawyer Bennett. I have been dying for Dominik’s book and it was so worth the wait. It’s been building up until this very point and I loved every alpha minute of it.
Willow was a force. She was a fighter. She was an independent woman who didn’t need a man to be her Prince Charming especially a billionaire who just couldn’t take a hint. They had their fun and now it was over. That was what she wanted to believe anyway. Dominik was a player. He could have any one he wanted so she didn’t understand why he wanted her so badly. Yes. She knew she was a badass catch but she was also either turning him down or ignoring him completely. Until she wasn’t…
Dominik wanted her from the first moment he saw her. He didn’t care if she was one of his player’s little sisters. She was an adult and so was he. And once he had her he didn’t want to let her get away but she had other plans. Plans that took her to the other side of the world but now she was back for Dax’s playoff games. She was close and he wanted her even closer. In his bed. On his desk. Anywhere she would submit. She acted like she didn’t like him but her body wanted him just has much as his. This was his chance to get her right where he wanted her. In his arms.
Awe! I loved it. Dominik is everything and more. Willow is a badass who won’t let a man tell her what to do. Unless, it’s in the bedroom. Their chemistry is off the charts hot! There is also those swoony moments mixed in. He is the perfect blend of alpha and sweet. But are they ready for more?
Sawyer always makes me fall for the player on and off the ice. It was awesome that Dominik is the owner of the team and there were still so many hockey moments. And it was fun catching up with his players.
Quotes:
“Tell me what to do,” I say with an impish smile as I slide off the stool. “I’m yours to command.”
“This body is mine and mine alone. You share it with no one else while sleeping with me.”
Willow narrows her eyes, baring her teeth. “Fine. It’s a good thing you do a passable job of wringing an orgasm out of me. You’ll suffice.”
“You know it completely turns me on that you can discuss hockey with me,” I muse, moving the sponge to the middle of her chest. I place my mouth near her ear, murmuring, “It makes me want to do really dirty things to you.”
I have been waiting for this book since day 1. And author Sawyer Bennett did not let me down. As the owner of the Arizona Vengeance, he’s not a player, but the first line becomes his brothers. They bond over guys night out and his love affair with Willow.
I never, and I mean never ever, expected the twist at the end of the book. It was a glimpse into another series/another time/another place. However floored I am, I was glad to see this turn.
Dominik and Willow are perfect for each other. They each bring their own brand of craziness to the relationship. Will they work through the crazy? Or will they crash and burn?
DOMINIK is a standalone hockey romance about Dominik Carlson, the alpha billionaire team owner of the Arizona Vengeance, and Willow Monahan, the strong-willed sister of one of his star players. Dominik is looking to win more than just a championship—he’s looking to win Willow’s heart.
OMG. I have been anticipating Dominik’s story since we were first introduced to him. It was everything I wanted and more. I was consumed by this story and could not take the ear buds out.
Christian Fox’s voice is mesmerizing and the perfect representation of Dominik. And what can I say, I have a girl crush on Erin Mallon and she was amazing. These two put so much affliction in their voices bringing life to Sawyer’s characters making this narration perfection.
As for this amazing story. Sawyer once again entertained me with her words. It was full of steamy romance, laughs, some tears and a little suspense. You’ll be swooning and routing for their happily ever after.
I also loved how Sawyer brought pieces from her other series stories and intertwined the story giving us that much more of an exquisite story.

See what readers are saying about DOMINIK:
Holy, sweet mother of pearl this book was worth the wait!!
Hands down, my fav book in this series.
I actually gasped out loud at one point in the book. You know what you did, Sawyer. YOU KNOW!!!!!!
Oh my! I loved Willow and Dominik. She is her own person and doesn’t give in to Dominik easily. Our sexy Dominik is determined to get the woman who only gives a little of herself. He wants so much more from her.
We got bits and pieces of these two from the previous books in the series and I was anxiously waiting for their story. I wasn’t disappointed. There is so much to Dominik and Willow. Loved! Loved! Loved!
Hot, Sexy, and owns a hockey team! Dominik is living the dream but what happens when he meets the one woman he really shouldn’t want.. Willow is Dax, the star player on the Vengeance, sister.. When she meets Dominik she has no issue with a one night stand but one night turns into a few times and while she is good with keeping it just down and dirty she is developing feelings and it scares her. When Dominik tells her he wants to give their relationship a real go, will Willow let her walls down and let him fully in?
Dominik Carlson is the owner of the Arizona Vengeance. He’s a sexy alpha billionaire who is use to getting what or who he wants when he wants. That is until he gets a taste or Willow Monahan, Dax’s little sister. Willow is all about having a good time without commitment. She enjoyed her time with Dominik but doesn’t want things to get complicated. I really enjoyed reading about Dominik “wooing” Willow. He was easy to fall in love with. This attractive, wealthy man who could have anyone he wanted and he only wanted Willow. He was so good to her. I was rooting for him the whole time. It was also nice catching up with the other players a heir significant others. I think Dominik was my favorite in the series. But now I’m ready for the next one.
Dominik and Willow are like yin and yang all in one. They butt heads and fight each other, but at the same time cannot be one without the other. They try to keep their relationship purely about sex, but their time together quickly builds a more meaningful relationship. They’re afraid of getting hurt, but find they need each other to truly be happy.
This story is fun, witty, romantic, steamy with the added bonus of hockey action and Syrian danger. You’ll have to read to understand that last part.
I loved how this story tied in the Cold Fury and Jameson Security series!!! Love Crossovers!!
Title: Dominik
Author: Sawyer Bennett
Series: Arizona Vengeance #6
Rating: 5 stars
I have been patiently waiting for Dominik’s story and OH MY GOSH it was so worth the wait! Once I started reading I couldn’t stop-and when it was over, I wanted more. This book was my favorite in the entire series and that is saying something being that I loved each and every book.
What I loved most about this book is that every chapter flowed well into the next and nothing felt rushed or forced. Dominik was the perfect hero-completely alpha with a heart of gold. His past has shaped who he is but he’s never let it define him. And Willow…this girl had so many layers to her and I loved watching them unfold. Together their chemistry was palpable and explosive. What happens when what was supposed to be a fling turns into more? You’ll just have to read it to find out! Highly recommend reading this book!
We finally get Dominik Carlson’s story and it was really worth the wait! Dominik is the owner of the Arizona Vengeance. He may not have had a great childhood being in the foster care system but he has turned into a billionaire and has just about anything a man could wish for…..except one thing….Willow Monahan. Willow may be the sister of one his best players but Dominik is drawn to the strong, independent woman and he knows that he has to make her his. Too bad Willow has other ideas.
As Dominik tries to entice Willow into giving him a chance, he doesn’t realize that things from Willow’s past are what is holding her back. When things in Willow’s life get hard, she tends to run. Just when it looks like things with Dominik are finally going perfect…..BOOM….there goes Willow running towards door. It will take nothing short of a miracle for these two strong willed, stubborn individuals to realize what they have found with each other is worth the effort. Once they both finally let down their guard they will find the happiness they have both always longed for.
I just loved this story! Dominik is a true alpha….not taking no for an answer but he really found his match in Willow. She gives it just as good as she gets it! It sure was a great, emotional battle for these two to finally get their happy ending but it was really worth it. I loved how stubborn these two were….it just made it that more fun when they finally both did give in! Overall this was a perfect story!
WOW! Just wow! I’ve read all the Cold Fury and Arizona Vengeance books, but Dominik is my new favorite of the all Sawyer Bennett’s books. Sawyer Bennett outdid herself with this installment my only complaint is it ended to soon. The writing was superb as always and the storyline really keeps you jumping. I loved the references to Sawyer’s other series, not just the Cold Fury but the Jameson Force Security.
If you are an audiobook listener, I can guarantee that Christen Fox and Erin Mallon will not disappoint in their reading of this book. Even though I’ve completed this book I know I will reread/relisten to this book many times. Excellent job Ms. Bennett and I can’t wait to read the next installment, not just the Vengeance but Jameson Force Security as well.
It has taken me days to talk about this book… why you ask? Because this author did something AMAZING! (Whispers) I now have a new favorite Arizona Vengeance book boyfriend. This dude, sigh, is soooo NUMMY! Another reason this book is win-win for me is our bada** heroine. This girl is nothing but impressive.
Dominic is fearless leader of the Arizona Vengeance Hockey Team who has his eyes on the sister of one of his hockey players. I love how he came from nothing and has created a world of only wealth but integrity.
Our girl, Willow is a reporter that goes into areas of unrest that puts herself in danger to find and tell the story. She is fearless but also a beautiful supporter of her brother and his hockey team. She is strong, independent and attracted to Dominic but has no problem making him chase her. It is a bit unintentional but works at keeping him intrigued.
This story definitely takes you on a merry ride with this two as they try to maintain their individuality but understand what it will look like them being a couple. Willow has to deal with past hurts. Dominic being a man with power is also not use to being told no. These factors make for a intense story. All this is done with these two spicing up the page all throughout, fanning myself. Eek.
Happy Reading Everyone!
I picked up Dominik because I love the
Arizona Vengeance series and honestly was a just expecting an enjoyable read.
I was fairly confident I knew where the storyline was going to go and just wanted an easy read.
I was so very, very wrong. Dominik is a whirlwind of a ride with twists in the story and connections to characters you don’t expect.
It’s endearing, sexy, compelling and the first book on my favorites of 2020 list.
**ARC provided for an honest review.**
Dominik is the 6th book in the Arizona Vengeance series and whilst it may reveal a few spoilers for previous couples, this book can be read on a stand alone basis.
This was a super fun, sexy read. We’ve met Dominik and Willow before so we knew that they had smoking hot chemistry and it was ever present in this story. I really enjoyed the push and pull between them and their banter was great. This was a nice easy read with minimal drama and a great way to spend a few hours.
I was provided with a copy of this book from the publisher; there was no inducement or obligation and I opted to leave a review.
Dominik is the best book of the series! It really is! Sawyer Bennett wrote a great book and I am reading this book now for a second time.
Dominik is the owner of the Arizona Vengeance, a Hockey Team. It was really an investment, but it turned out to be much more than that, since for the first time in his life he is creating attachment with others. Sure, he is super uber business man but as growing up in the foster system getting close is hard for him. The team of the Arizona Vengeance is slowly becoming not only his team but as well his friends… Actually, in this process the one person who does not want anything from him and is avoiding him like the plague is the one he wants and helps him building these connections. Willow is the sister of one of his players and is hard to get (she has her reasons). The way Willow and Dominik interact and how they slowly build their relationship is wonderful to read and I was very emotional reading this book.
You will love this book!
DOMINIK by Sawyer Bennett. This is the one Ms. Bennett’s loyal fans have been waiting for and Ms. Bennett did not disappoint! Dominik – the loyal, dedicated and truly alpha Hero that had my heart swooning throughout the entire tale! I adored him! And Willow, our heroine, is a strong and independent woman that doesn’t necessarily need a man, but the things Dominik does to her – oh boy! Break out the fans! Not only did I love the main characters, but the storyline was engaging and held my attention throughout. Ms. Bennett made me laugh, cry and shout. Ms. Bennett’s knack for writing characters that are truly alpha in nature, yet so vulnerable at times – she nailed that with this one. Dominik is a force to be reckoned with but so is Willow. The back and forth between these two as they traversed their journey was an enjoyable ride, if not frustrating and, even heartbreaking at times. It was fun to “catch up” with characters from previous tales too (although not necessary to read to fully enjoy DOMINIK but I highly recommend the entire series). Ms. Bennett – thank you for, once again, creating a story that made me feel all the feels and made my heart flutter throughout.
I absolutely love the hockey players of the Arizona Vengeance! Turns out, I’m rather smitten with their owner too.
We’ve met Dominik Carlson over the course of this series, so we already know he’s an amazing and generous man, but I don’t think we ever really knew to what extent. He’s way more amazing than we could have anticipated. He’s surprisingly sweet, insanely charming, and fiercely driven and determined. And unsurprisingly, he has an alpha streak that will knock your socks off. This man is dominant, possessive, and unfiltered. He’s a perfect blend of naughty and nice that you’re going to flip for.
I struggled with Willow a bit, but not because there was anything wrong with her or because I didn’t like her. It was more because she drove me crazy at her resistance to Dominik. I constantly wanted to shake some sense into her. She’s stubbornly independent and her refusal to depend on anyone for her happiness is both admirable and annoying. But she’s a good person with a lot of heart to give, and I love her for that. You’ll just need a little patience with her.
I loved this book from beginning to end. Hockey, heat, and a little bit of suspense makes this an amazing book. These two have chemistry in spades and it’s amazing to watch both the explosive and gentle aspects of their attraction. And I love how Sawyer Bennett incorporated some of her other amazing book series into this one. This one packs lots of heat and plenty of heart and it’s going to be an instant favorite. I highly recommend it.
