Publisher's summary

Marek Fabritis is used to delivering blows, not receiving them. But when he gets tipped off by an anonymous email about his ex-girlfriend, the news leaves him ice cold - and it's not because Gracen Moore is getting married to a total jerk. It's the fact that Marek has a three-year-old daughter he never knew about. Now he's going back home, not to play knight in shining armor but to make damn sure that no man takes what's his. For the first time, there might be something more important than hockey.

Gracen Moore has always loved Marek. That's why she let him go, so he could pursue a career in the NHL. And that's why she never told him about Lilly. Only now does Gracen realize that she made an unforgivable mistake. But is that any reason for Marek to crash her wedding and make an epic scene? If the spark that still smolders between them is to be trusted, maybe. Still, Gracen's not getting her hopes up. Because she knows better than anyone that appearances aren't always what they seem...

Contains mature themes.

Va Va Va Voom!

Gracen Moore decided to keep a secret when her heart was broken. Love was not on her side and it wasn’t enough to keep her man in her life. She kept their daughter a secret and when he finds out she’s getting married, he disrupts her wedding and forces her to move with him so they can straighten this mess out. She doesn’t understand why he came, but, now that he knows about Lilly, she has no choice but to do his bidding and answer his questions. She knows she’s made a mess of things, but, that does not mean that she has to accept his cruelty. She also realizes that she never stopped loving him and being in his presence is making this more difficult than she could’ve ever imagined.

Marek Fabritis is a jerk! When he finds out that Gracen is getting married he goes to stop the wedding. What he finds is a miniature version of himself, only it’s a girl. He chose his hockey career over Gracen and she kept his daughter a secret. He has no clue how to deal with this discovery, all he knows is that he needs them near him to sort this mess out and learn how to be a father.

The Good: I loved listening to this story. The plot was realistic and the emotions ran deep. Very engaging and well written. The sex was so hot and the dirty talk was scorching!

The Bad: Marek was such an asshole! He treated Gracen like crap and would not let her forget what she did.

The Ugly: Gracen’s blackmailer...and that’s all I’m going to say..

In true Sawyer Bennett style, this story is a must read. You could feel how hurt Marek was, but, you could also understand why Gracen kept this secret from him. He made it clear that his career came first. Will their daughter bring them together? Maybe. Grace is being threatened and having her in his presence constantly, is stirring up feelings that he thought were gone. How can he forgive her betrayal and look passed why she did it? Gracen was not a fool and she refused to allow him to make her pay for her mistake over and over again. Will love prevail when the obvious attraction between them can no longer be ignored? A Solid 5 Star Read!

needs a good editor and a therapist

These people need therapy. Neither one can have a disagreement without resorting to hurling the most hurtful things they can think of back at the person they "love". Also, I don't like Gracen. Your kid got hurt. It happens. It's not that big a deal and if you want them to learn how to handle adversity, you help them through it and move on, not play the blame game because the other parent didn't wrap them in bubble wrap when you were out of sight. I'm frustrated that this was the end of the series and we didn't see how everyone turned out, the H was a dick, the h was whiny, and it almost felt like it was written by someone else entirely. 🙁

Marek

Not my dream man by any means. That said. Marek Fabritis is self centered man child! Marek is the one who breaks Gracen's heart. Marek is the one who wanted to have experiences without being tied down! Our heroin is a weak self shell of a woman. Gracen is getting married to a total jerk (to save her parents?) Okay Gracen keeps her daughter a secret. True. Marek left her with "I don't want any ties". Marek is NO knight in shining armor. He threatens to take her child away from her! Not feeling positive about this couple. I enjoyed the other books in this series. This one, not so much.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! After listening to this story,. I totally enjoyed reading this book. It’s well written and the characters were uniquely fantastic. I would suggest this book to my friends that like this sort of genera. this was a good book. The narrator was great.

Another Wonderful Book

This is the last of the Cold Fury hockey team members. It tells the story of a man who finds two loves in life.

Good story

Not my favorite Sawyer Bennett book but got into it eventually.

Even when it’s not my fav, Sawyer writes good, solid stories.

I took a chance on a sports romance (not a fav trope) because it was second chance, often a preferred trope.

I have preferred her Jameson Force, Wicked Horse(s), and definitely her singles like Uncivilized.

Sawyer Bennett is definitely a right on my to be read list on goodreads and usually a one-click without reading the blurb.

Loved it

I loved this book couldn't put it down. Marek Fabritis and Gracen Moor were high school sweathearts, but Mareck was heading to the NHL and decided to break up with Gracen and broke her heart. After receiving an email Marek goes to New York to stop a wedding between his ex girlfriend Gracen and Owen Waller and he also found out about a secret she kept from him. Mareck brings Gracen and their three year old daughter Lilly who he never knew existed back home to Raleigh, North Carolina, but he couldn't stop being angry with Gracen for keeping Lilly away from him and his parents. After having a huge fight and saying things that hurt each other, Gracen tells Marek that she is leaving and taking Lilly back to New York.

awesome second chance

I love this series and all the different ways your find your person. thank you for writing this series.

wow REALLY!

i love the storyline but i hate how Gracen is treated and she puts up with it . i wish it was more realistic because a real women wouldn't not put up with being treated so horrible by a guy, yes they have a daughter and she wants him to be in her life but she doesn't have to be treated so bad and so she kept the daughter from the dad for 3yrs but he left her so that's on him and if he wanted his daughter he wouldn't always be gone from the house so much.. so she needs to grow a backbone and leave . way be miserable and alone. screw him and live for u and your daughter!

great book

I really enjoyed this book.  each book in this series is totally addicting and keeps my interest.
