Publisher's Summary

What happens when a one-night stand turns into a long-distance friendship, and yet both yearn for more?

Cady Dunne decided to roll the dice when she jumped into bed with sexy, professional hockey player Zane Kavanaugh. It was supposed to be a one-night stand and then it was supposed to be over.

After returning home to Dublin, Cady in a million years never imagined Zane would reach out to her. It was beyond comprehension to Zane that he would actually develop a close relationship with the Irish beauty forged over countless emails, texts, and phone calls.

But when feelings get deeper and they are both ready to take the next step, how do they get past the fact that there is an ocean separating their lives? Maybe all they really need is a Christmas miracle.

This book can be listened to as a standalone.

Short, Sweet and Steamy

This was a just a sweet little nugget in the Off series to let you know what happened to some of our favorite characters from other books in the series. This book was just long enough to explore the quick romance between Cady and Zane and get us caught up on the lives of the past romances in the series. Sawyer Bennett definitely knows how to keep me interested.

As usual Charlotte North and Matthew Holland did a good job with the narration. I love that they can do so many accents. Keep narrating and I will keep listening.

Since this is a novella, I would recommend paying the reduced price and not use a credit. But I would say it was worth the price I paid. I'm loving this series.

Toothache

Seriously sweet, so much so that it caused a toothache. I love the banter. It is so silly and hilarious. The narration is right on par.

A fun contemporary novella.

I thoroughly enjoyed this stand-alone novella. It’s funny, sweet and romantic.

Zane is a professional hockey player and Cady is an Irish woman visiting family in the U.S. On her last night before she flies back to Ireland, she and Zane engage in a one-night stand. When she leaves the U.S., Zane can’t stop thinking of her and they become pen-pals of sorts, and their friendship blooms.

I smiled the whole time I listened, and really enjoyed the flashbacks, sexy-times, correspondence, tensions of the heart, and the developing romance. Having met people whose long-lasting love-story started through correspondence, I know this type of love can work. And I know it involves patience, sacrifice and commitment. I think Sawyer Bennett nailed long-distance romance, (as well as humour and sexy times)!

Sawyer Bennett’s writing in this OFF Series really appeals to me because I feel there is a good balance between romantic build-up and sex, rather than being sex-heavy.

Narrators Charlotte North and Matthew Holland narrate the whole OFF Series. I feel they have been perfectly cast. I believe the narrators are American and “put on” an Irish accent for OFF SEASON and book 4, OFF COURSE. I enjoyed their Irish accent and felt it was well done.

Disappointing

Accents are awful. Storyline is seriously boring. I couldn’t wait for it to end. The Arizona Vengeance series is WAY better!

Standard romance

Basic story of couple dating in a long- distance relationship.
Sexy times are sweet with a little sizzle.
Narrators are excellent.

an awesome finish to this collection

I loved this story it was funny, sweet, hot and steamy. the performance was greasy as well. this series was super enjoyable, anything I've read by Sawyer Bennett has been fantastic and this book for right in. loved it

Quirky and Enjoyable

A lovely novella following NHL hockey star Zane Kavanaugh and Irish student Cady Dunne as they work through the pros and cons of having a one night stand, followed by a long distance, texting, phoning and email relationship. Quick, easy, fun and sexy read that follows all their emailing and texts. Quirky and enjoyable.
