New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett hits the ice with this stand-alone story of a playboy athlete whose winning ways lead him to a beautiful woman with a lot to lose.
Carolina Cold Fury star Garrett Samuelson never wants to miss out on a single minute of fun. Whether he’s playing hockey, hanging out with friends, or walking the red carpet with a new date on his arm, he lives every day to the fullest. When he meets Olivia Case, he sees someone who’s exactly his type—confident, sexy, smart . . . his next fling. But the more he pursues her, the more Garrett shares a side of himself that other women don’t normally get to see.
Olivia has been keeping a secret. While Garrett lives for the next thrill, Olivia’s not sure she’ll live to see the next day. She’s undergoing treatment for some serious medical issues, and she doesn’t have time for a relationship with no guarantees—especially one with a hot-as-sin womanizer who won’t take no for an answer. But as she gets to know the real Garrett, Olivia can’t help falling for him . . . hard. To reveal the truth would mean risking everything—but you can’t score without taking the tough shots.

Amazing! That is all for now. Garrett is very different from what he showed in Alex...

Olivia is a florist and leads a quite life, but she decides to throw caution to the wind and go out with Garrett knowing it will be one night of sex and she’ll never see him again. It’s not something Olivia usually does, but she decides to have some fun with no complications. Garrett and Olivia are both surprised by the intensity of their feeling when they are together. Garrett has never met anyone like Olivia. She’s a sensitive, loving, fun person and Garrett can relax around her, knowing Olivia likes him for himself, not for his fame or money. The way Garret treats Olivia stole my heart. Garrett is a player and never dates the same woman twice, but once he goes out with Olivia, he wants to spend more time with her. Olivia brings out the best in Garrett and we discover he can be a warm, caring person.
This is another well written, realistic story by Sawyer Bennett and I found myself immediately immersed in the lives of Garrett and Olivia. Although this book deals with some heavy issues, there was fun and lightness included in the story for balance. This is the second book in the Carolina Cold Fury Hockey series and each book is a stand-alone. Alex and Sutton were featured in the first book in this series and I was happy they were included in this story too. It was great catching up with them and in fact, Olivia is Sutton’s cousin.
