Drake

A Pittsburgh Titans Novel

De: Sawyer Bennett

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, Maxine Mitchell

Drake McGinn turned his back on hockey after the league betrayed him. Will the Titans be his chance to clear his name and take back the career he once loved?

After I made the decision to divorce, my ex-wife set out on a smear campaign against me, telling anyone who would listen that I was betting on hockey and throwing games. It wasn’t surprising that my ex told the lies, but the fact that the media, league, and fans chose to believe her baseless claims was unforgivable. I walked away from it all and never looked back.

Having settled into life as a single dad to three boys, I’m content. I have more money than I could ever need, and plenty of time to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and whoever I want. So when Brienne Norcross, the team owner for the Pittsburgh Titans, shows up at my house with a job offer, I have no problem turning her down. But the no-nonsense billionaire, with sinfully seductive red lips and killer heels that would look hot as hell thrown over my shoulders, won’t take “no” for an answer.

Now I need to find balance between hockey, my boys, and the explosive chemistry Brienne and I can no longer deny. A cast-off hockey player and the league’s only female team owner? I can think of a million reasons why it could never work but can’t bring myself to care about a single one of them. Game on.

I loved this story!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this story!!!

I feel like I have been eagerly awaiting this story since Baden’s book when Brienne and Drake met for the first time and the fireworks flew.

The book begins with Brienne going to see Drake once the first season after the plane crash is over, to try to convince him to join the Titans. From the second they see each other they each realize that there is a big attraction between them, but an owner and a player would cause some waves on the team and in the media, especially after the flash allegations made by Drakes ex wife during their divorce.

It takes very little time for Drake and Brienne to stop fighting their attraction, but having a secret relationship that is being hidden from 3 adorably rambunctious boys, teammates, coaches and the media proves to be a challenge that may be too tough to overcome.

I had the pleasure of listening to this story. Aiden Snow and Maxine Mitchell did a fantastic job of narrating this story.

My favourite Titan

I think I must love each of the Pittsburg Titans each a little more with every book. Drake is no exception. He has zero f*!ks to give and takes what he wants but as simple as that sounds this book is far from a cut and dry hockey romance. A single Dad, hot as hell and he wants the owner of his hockey team. Such a steamy and emotionally charged listen. Aiden Snow and Maxine Mitchell brought this book to life.

Drake and Brienne.

We are up to book number five in the series and I’m still enjoying each of these couples stories and HEA’s. There hasn’t been much said about Drake McGinn in the previous books just that he was burnt by the organization as well as his ex wife and he is a little or more so he’s a lot bitter about it all because he left the league to raise his three sons. The new owner of the Titans, Brienne Norcross knows that the best chance she has of winning a Cup in her brother’s honor is to build the most amazing team possible and that includes goalie Drake. So she needs to eat humble pie over a question she asked him that did not sit well with Drake. These two are fiery and sparks fly left, right and center!

Their interactions start out as just a hook up, nothing but dirty talking, fast and steamy times and that’s all they both want. No relationship, only bedroom buddies when the time permits with their busy schedules. As always, the more time they spend together, feelings get involved and now it’s getting intense between them. It takes some time to navigate running an empire, playing professional hockey and raising three boys but they do eventually realize they are better together than apart. Whether you read it as part of the series, or as a standalone novel, it’s one not to be missed.

As is with most audio books, the story is so much better because it feels like it’s come to life. Aiden Snow was the perfect choice for Drake, he got the gruff and domination emotions right just. Same goes for Maxine Mitchell - she had a great business voice but also could switch it up with secondary characters or more emotional scenes. I couldn’t stop listening.

Another Titan falls

Drake has been burned by the media and the hockey world believing his ex-wife's lies about him. Brienne is the owner of the Titans and personally has tried to recruit him as the team goalie. Both have walls but their attraction to each other breaks down the walls. I thought this was a wonderful book. I certainly hope there are more to come. Aiden Snow and Maxine Mitchell really bring the story to life.

Drake

This series just keeps getting better! Drake McGinn was betrayed not only by his ex-wife but also his former team. When the Titans come for him to join their team as their newest goalie he turns them down. Now the Titans are embarking on a new year and they need a goalie and Brienne Norcross, the owner of the team, goes right to his own to ask him again and she is not taking no for an answer. Giving him an ultimatum, will he agree? Where there are sparks there is usually fire and these two sure do put off some sparks. The dirty-talking single dad and the workaholic billionaire owner, you wouldn't think these two would get along but they are a match made in heaven or between the sheets or desktop or wherever they come together. Perfection! I cannot wait for more of this series! I not only fell in love with this couple but those three little boys!
