Ryker

Publisher's Summary

The stakes have never been higher for Carolina Cold Fury goalie Ryker Evans. With his contract running out, he's got a year left to prove that he's still at the top of his game. And since his wife left him, Ryker has been balancing life as a pro hockey star and a single parent to two daughters. Management is waiting for him to screw up. The fans are ready to pounce. Everybody's taking dirty shots - except for the fiery redhead whose faith in Ryker gives him a fresh start.

As the league's only female general manager, Gray Brannon has learned not to mix business with pleasure. And yet even this tough, talented career woman can't help breaking her own rules as she gives Ryker everything she's got. She hopes that their hot streak will last forever, but with Ryker's conniving ex plotting to reclaim her man, the pressure's on Gray to step up and save a tender new love before it's too late.

A perfect romance :) **this is a must read series**

I have read every book by Sawyer Bennett and I must say I am never disappointed. This was a beautiful romance and I only had to roll my eyes a couple times, unlike most romances where you want to strangle the heroine and tell her she's being a moron. I don't like lots of angst and this was the perfect combination of drama and happiness. And for once one of the lovers didn't let the other go "for his/her own good" as seems to be the case in most romances. I hope there will be another cold fury book coming after this as I am hooked on those hotties!!! <3

Gray and Ryker!

Another great addition to the Cold Fury series! This is a heart warming story. I loved seeing things from a single dads point of view. This is my least favorite Sawyer Bennett book and I still loved it! As always, I highly recommend anything by Ms. Bennett.

This time TWO Cold Fury Team figures find love

I've loved all the Cold Fury books, and I try to pace myself to make sure they last a while. I liked Ryker, but it was probably my least favorite of the series. For whatever reason, I found it less easy to instantly relate to Ryker and Gray, and I found the sex scenes a little too frequent and over-the-top. Tiny, insignificant details also niggled at me: if Gray had been such a phenomenal athlete, why was she satisfied now with a gentle yoga workout? And then there was the dénouement: I thought Gray was too quick to make the decision she did. But the bracing excitement of hockey was there, as was the great camaraderie of the team. And in the end, the love between Ryker and Gray proved true and beautiful. I've already put the next book in my queue.

Not my kind of story

Too perfect. Too unreal at the end for my taste. The narrators were good, though.

My favorite so far

This one is my favorite story in the series so far! I liked Grey and Ryker! I rooted for them through out the story. I liked the fact that she was a strong female lead.. She was his equal. She didn’t need to be saved or protected. Great story! On to the next book!

Worst One in Series

This was horrendous...and I’m sorry, whoever is writing these has clearly never actually hung out with hockey players, or even men in general. They simply do not say sh@t like this. And for the love of God, someone teach these narrators how to pronounce Vezina. It’s “VEZNA.” Groan...

Can a single dad hockey star and his young female general manager find happiness

The story develops as the characters decide what is ultimately most important to them. This is the best of the series so far with hot sex, a women’s career story, a great romance, a charming story of Father’s and daughters, a nasty divorce story and an unbalanced sexist that adds drama. Lots of back story and the previous characters are also included which makes this a complete package!

A nonstop listen

Ryker is the fourth book in the Cold Fury series and each book just seems to be getting better and better. Right from the start you're already drawn in and because of prior books you will already know some about “Brick”, the goalie for the Cold Fury and it keeps you going all the way to the end. I thought I liked Garrett, Alex, and Zack, but Ryker will steal your heart. He is a team player and he puts what is best for the team in front of anything else. He wants what's best for the team even if it means he shouldn’t play. Then there is Gray. She is such a strong female lead. She is smart, able to take care of herself and handle herself in what is typically a man’s position. Then we have the narrator's that just add to this already well-written story. They are so good at narrating this book that you feel you are in the story. You feel like you're in the conference room or you're out on the ice. You won't be able to turn the story off as you're going to want to keep listening. Of course, there are a few on the edge of your seat moments of suspense wondering what's going to happen, which is great. When I don't see it coming only adds to the enjoyment of the story. There were a couple things I kind of predicted but it did not take away from the story at all because it didn't go exactly as I thought it was going to go. The narrator's did a wonderful job of bringing this already awesome story to life. I'm looking forward to listening to more from this author and these narrators.
