New Release from Sawyer Bennett
King (Pittsburgh Titans, Book #14)
Jack Kingston is known for his dominant playing skills on the ice, but off, he’s a down-to-earth guy who values a true connection over a meaningless hookup.
I love being a member of the Pittsburgh Titans, even if my teammates are constantly ribbing me about women who they claim are throwing themselves all over me. Could I go for the easy lay? Sure, but that’s not my style. I’m more of long-term kind of guy. Instead, I’m going to keep doing what I do best—killing it out on the ice. Everything else will fall into place…eventually.
That time comes sooner than expected, in the most unlikely of ways. At the rink to watch our goalie’s kids play Peewee hockey, I meet Willa Montreaux and somehow, by the end of that interaction, I’ve offered to help her coach the Ice Pups. Altruism or were there other intentions in that offer? A little of both, if I’m being honest.
As the time I spend with Willa increases, I am absolutely certain I want even more. She’s gorgeous, sure, but that’s superficial. Willa is also funny, loving, determined and smart. SO smart. Doctor smart. Probably too intelligent for a jock like me, but that’s not going to stop me from shooting my shot.
Not looking for anything more than a fling and concerned that she’s too old for me, Willa doesn’t want to venture into anything serious. I’m willing to put in the work and give her the space she needs to come to terms with the fact that the connection we have is far more than physical. Willa and I are end game, but I’m willing to play into overtime if that’s what it takes to walk away with her by my side.

Review:
We’re at #14 for this series already–it doesn’t seem possible!–and it’s still going strong!
(Jack) King and Willa’s story was so much fun–a pro hockey player who’s so impressed by the way a newbie (and completely unfamiliar with the sport) pee wee coach takes down a toxic hockey dad that he offers to help her coach? Uh, yes, please!
King is an age gap story–she’s in her early 30s, he’s 25–and I am here for it. Willa, a doctor, isn’t ready for a relationship; her first one was not good, and she’s hesitant to trust her ability to pick a “good one” the next time. King is beyond patient with her situation, though, and I loved watching her learn to trust again.
Ms Bennett is torturing us with the mystery of what is going on with new Titans star Penn–*King* finds out what it is, but we don’t know yet–and gosh darn it, the next book isn’t his either. (Or the one after that–I just checked her website and he’s #17…sigh…)
As always, King is part of an established series but can be read as a standalone–but seriously, why do that to yourself? Who doesn’t want to read a whole hockey team’s worth (plus!) of books? 😉
I listened to the audio version of this book, which I enjoyed quite a bit–the dual narrators did a great job, and if they both come back for future series books I won’t be mad about it at all.
Rating: 4 stars / A-
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
