Marek (Cold Fury Hockey, #11)

by Sawyer Bennett

[Sam@WLABB]

I was looking forward to seeing how Marek and Gracen's story worked out after the very dramatic set up in previous book, and by the end of the story, Marek had won me over.

Marek had walked away from Gracen five years ago, and Gracen had kept his child a secret from him for almost four years. So, both were nursing some wounds, and were therefore, somewhat hostile towards each other. Underneath it all, though, they were each other's first and only loves. Those feelings may have been buried, but they were still there, and being thrust back together was difficult and confusing. Gracen was struggling with the guilt of what she did and her runaway bride antics, while Marek was dealing with his resentment for the time he missed, but as they begin connecting again, both start to see things a little differently.

Second chance romances are among my favorites, and I really enjoyed the way Bennett blended Marek and Gracen's past into this story. They had a passionate past, but they were young. Each has grown and changed since then, and it was something I am glad she explored.

I grew to love Reed so much in his book, and was therefore overjoyed to see him have a large role in this book. I also think I spied the set up for the next (a future?) book, and I suspect it will venture into fun territory. As always, Bennett caught us up with our past Cold Fury faves, and it was fun to hear about all the impending changes in their lives.

Overall: A great second chance romance, that began angsty, but eventually melted my heart. Bring on book 12!
