Roman by Sawyer Bennett

Roman (Cold Fury Hockey, #7)

by Sawyer Bennett

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett steams up the ice all over again as the Carolina Cold Fury hockey team’s hottest bad boy gets his first taste of something good.

In a league full of troublemakers, Cold Fury defenseman Roman Sýkora stands out—at least when it comes to negative publicity. When he’s not chilling in the penalty box, the sizzling Czech skate demon is racking up tabloid headlines for his scandalous behavior with the ladies. But now Roman’s feeling the burn from management to clean up his act, or else. Luckily he’s got an enticing distraction: a fun-loving barista who plays the ukulele and brings out a side of Roman he didn’t know he had.

Lexi Robertson came to Raleigh, North Carolina, to finally meet her father, Brian Brannon, and her half sister, Gray, both of whom work in the Cold Fury’s front office. That’s where she first meets sexy, intimidating Roman—who’s really a big softie at heart. As one relationship takes off, another begins: Brian seems to be clicking with Lexi’s boss at the coffee shop. But when the friction between Roman and her new family heats up, Lexi wonders whether she’s a pawn in their game. Feeling hurt and foolish, Lexi’s ready to quit while she’s ahead. Trouble is, Roman’s not ready to quit on her.

Another awesome Cold Fury book! I like how Bennett took a little detour from the other books by have a third POV. It worked on so many levels for me.
1. I loved Brannon! I loved being in his head and felt his POV really added to this story.
2. This was more a family story than the standard romance these books usually have. Don't worry, we get a romance that is sexy and swoon worthy, but we also get to explore this dynamic between a family that just found each other.
3. Roman was a great alpha hero, who was quite complicated. I loved him, but then again, I love all the Cold Fury men.
4. I loved Lexi and Roman together. Their chemistry was off the charts, but they also had this playful side that never failed to make me smile.

I swear, I will never get tired of the Cold Fury men.
