Reed by Sawyer Bennett

Reed (Cold Fury Hockey, #10)

by Sawyer Bennett

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • The offseason is heating up for one Carolina Cold Fury heartbreaker who’s eager to make nice with the girl next door.

No one plays like Reed Olson, whether it’s hockey season or not. After back-to-back NHL championships, he’s craving a little R&R. Reed leans to a specific type—blond, busty, and interested—and fortunately he has a little black book full of options. So why is it he can’t stop dreaming about the new girl who just moved in next door? A certified brainiac, she seems to want nothing to do with the hard-bodied athlete.

Josie Ives desperately needs something her celebrity neighbor obviously doesn’t: solitude. Reed is everything she imagined—a little too good-looking, with a body that puts Greek gods to shame. But she didn’t expect he would also be funny and charming. Josie knows she’s the opposite of his type, and that’s fine with her. Still, the chemistry between them is undeniable. Their newfound friendship certainly has its benefits, but she’s starting to wonder if opposites really do attract.

It's no surprise that I am a Cold Fury super-fan, so I knew I would like this book, but I have to say, I was surprised by how much I liked it. Let me explain. This is the lowest drama Cold Fury book I have ever encountered, and yet, I couldn't stop listening to Reed and Josie's story.

Both Reed and Josie were delightful characters, and I adored their friends-to-more story. Reed going from serial hook ups to settling down with a woman of substance was quite enjoyable to watch, and I loved how he really wanted to win a place in her heart. The two of them has such a wonderful vibe together and their chemistry was top notch as well. I found it interesting that this one takes place during the off season. I am so used to seeing the guys in action, but it was a nice change of pace to watch them in at this time of year as they basked in the glory of The Cup.

Bennett introduced us to Marek's drama, and I think it's going to be quite a story.
