Heart of a champion

Ryker - Sawyer BennettThis is the 4th book in the Cold Fury Hockey series.  It can be read as a standalone novel, but for full understanding I encourage readers to read the series in order.

Ryker Evans first meets Gray Brannon when she recruits him to the Carolina Cold Fury team.  Now she is to be his General Manager and taking a lot of opposition for being a woman in a man's field.  Ryker could care less.

Gray has so much on her plate right now.  She cannot afford to be attracted to Ryker and have thoughts of him distract her.  She invites him to yoga just to spend more time with him.

Ryker is goalie on the team.  Yoga is good exercise for his position.  He is also attracted to Gray.  If only he could stop thinking about her.  Nothing seems to distract him.  Now his soon to be ex-wife wants another chance?

Gray is a good General Manager.  She is really a genius.  Her new plan is to get her team to the championships and a Stanley Cup win.  No one thinks they way she is going about it is right, except Ryker and her father.

Ryker just wants to be a good father to his kids, and have Gray in his life.  Can something so simple come together?  How can they have a future if they have to keep their relationship a secret?

Such an amazing and well thought out story.  The author is known for complex characters, but this book took it to another level for me.  I think it is her best book to date.  The banter, the sexy times, the fun with the children.... there is something for everyone in this book!  I give this story 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Cherry Pie (Mercury Rising Book 1) by Samantha Kane     Date of Publication: September 16, 2014   Blurb:   You can go home again if you can get a foot in the door.   Mercury Rising, Book 1   A year after packing and moving from L.A. to Mercury, North Carolina, John Ford still hasn't adjusted to the heat. Or to life without his long-time partner. As he fixes up the old house he bought, the quiet becomes his only companion, and he's content with that—until a deep-voiced stranger plants himself under a tree across the street.   Eight years ago, Connor Meecham left someone behind in that house—himself. Now he's back to find the man he used to be, before drugs and prison sent his life careening off the tracks. But it's not his mother's face peering through the window any more. It's a man who seems as lost as Conn himself.   When John learns what the house—and the dying town—mean to Conn, he finds himself opening the door to his heart. Just

This is book #6, in the True North series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding of the series, and too avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this compelling series in order. Skye returns to the place she hates the most to help out the sister she always wanted.  When she gets there, tables have turned.  There is now danger if she pushes too far in finding her sister.  Who can she turn to? Benito AKA "Ben" is a blast from the past, who has always had a thing for Skye.  She was the one that got away, and he has no intentions of letting that happen again.  He also has to find her sister and solve his case. While this author is a definite auto purchase, she always brings the goods to the table.  In this story, we get a second chance romance with such heart and heat that every page is a sizzling delight!  I loved the banter, and was eagerly turning each page to get to the next.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***Th
