REVIEW ~VAN BY SAWYER BENNETT~

Title: Van

Author: Sawyer Bennett

Series: Cold Fury #9

Release Date: November 28, 2017

MY RATING: 5 STARS!

As one of the league’s toughest enforcers, Van Turner is ruthless on the ice. He plays hard because it’s the only way to channel the rage boiling inside, and a reputation as an A-hole is better than everyone knowing the truth. Van has spent his entire life running from a secret that’s kept him from getting involved in relationships—or accepting lucrative deals with East Coast teams. Then the Carolina Cold Fury makes him an offer he can’t refuse . . . and Van meets a woman he can’t resist.

Simone Fournier is the stubborn one in her family—and that’s saying something, considering her brothers are two of the Cold Fury’s biggest stars. Simone gets what she wants, and what she wants is Van. Still, there’s a part of him Simone can’t reach, no matter how hard she tries. In private, he’s all fire and passion. In public, he freezes her out. Van may want to push her away, but Simone won’t let him go that easily. Because this time, she’s playing for keeps.

Good golly Ms. Molly, this book was excellent. When we saw the glimpses of Van's story in Lucas' story I knew I needed this book and needed it now. The Cold Fury series is one of those series, that could go on forever and I would never tire of it. Van just cemented my feelings for it. Van and Simone are a push and pull couple. Their physical attraction cannot be denied, but hell if Van will let them get any closer than a romp here or there. But Simone is not one to be deterred, and Van is easily, yet reluctantly swayed where she is concerned, up to a point. Van has his secrets, and he's hell bent on keeping them underwraps.

This story offered everything I've come to expect from Sawyer Bennett. Incredibly hot sex, heart-wrenching emotions, and a cast of characters that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last. As always this is a hands-down must-read for me.

Happy Reading!
