GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!! As one of my favorite authors and dear friend, Brenda Rothert continues to DELIVER a story that will melt hearts and have reader swooning! In her newest release, Bennett Brenda will show her readers there is nothing minor about Bennett as he scores major points in the sexy protective alpha hero department and an extra point for being an absolute sweetheart.
“Bennett: pros-Sweet.Loyal.Caring.Easy to be with.Highly attractive.Committed to our kid.Intelligent Sexy as fuck. Amazing in bed. Good at fixing things.Makes me feel good. Bennett: cons- Faces lots of temptation from other women ”Bennett is the second book of the On The Line Series and can be read as a standalone but I highly urge readers to read Killian as well. So what is Bennett about?
Bennett Morse has only one thing on his mind and that is to make it in the NHL. As a minor league player, Bennett has dedicated his life in making it into the pros. And as a hockey player, life mostly consisted of the ice and of course puck bunnies. And there was no shortage of those. But as time goes by, Bennett is feeling that his life is at a standstill. Will he make it to the NHL? As Bennett contemplates his life and dreams, he meets a young woman that catches his eye.
Charlotte Holloway is a newly single attorney, who just broke up with her boyfriend. Angry that her ex stole her job promotion from her, Charlotte decides to drown her anger in a couple of drinks. While at the bar, she meets Bennett. They strike up a conversation and well one thing led to another and soon Bennett and Charlotte ended up tangled in the sheets. The following next day, Bennett leaves his number for Charlotte hoping that she calls. But the call never came. That is until...two months later.
“I cared for her so much it hurt sometimes. It was how I was feeling about Charlotte right now. My feelings for her were an out-of-control freight train, barreling down the tracks. I’d vowed not to let this happen again, but not only did I think it wasn’t possible to stop the train, I didn’t want to.”
Well fast forward to two months later, Charlotte is standing in Bennett’s doorstep and announces to him that she is pregnant and is the baby sister of Bennett’s teammate, Liam. Worrying about making it in the NHL and now a baby on the way, Bennett has a lot on his plate but he makes it known to Charlotte that he will be there supporting her with everything. As Bennett and Charlotte discusses their future plans, Bennett makes it known to Charlotte that they should try dating to really get to know each other and also see if there is something more. As they start this new relationship, Charlotte makes it known to Bennett that she wants to keep their relationship a secret for now since she doesn’t want to cause any friction between Liam and Bennett. But what happens when their secret is out? And what happens when Bennett’s insecurities and fears destroys his chance of a happily ever after with Charlotte? And can Charlotte let go of her fear of commitment?
“I love you, Charlotte. And that’s a hard thing for me to do and say. But I do. I love your strength and your smile and your intelligence. I love how you keep me on my toes. It’s never felt as good to make another person happy as it does with you.”Brenda Rothert has seriously stole my heart when she introduced me to one of the sweetest, charming, and lovable hockey heroes that I have read. So as you can see, I LOVE BENNETT. Okay, let me reiterate it one more time… Bennett is a MUST READ!!!! Here is why you have to read this book. First and foremost, this book is so raw, emotional, touching, and heartfelt. Secondly, Bennett will score major points on the ice and off the ice. **wink** And lastly, Bennett has one of the most lovable hero that can make any hearts flutter with his honesty, devotion, and commitment. So if you are ready to be swept away in this sweet, raw and beautiful tale of love then I highly recommend you to read this book. If I am keeping score, Brenda Rothert has already won as she delivered two amazing minor league hockey heroes. And FYI, Brenda Rothert has been told Bennett Christopher Morse belongs to me.. hahha.
