The Cold Fury Hockey Series by Sawyer Bennett is hands down one of my favorite hockey sports romance series that I have read. In this eighth installment, Bennett turns up the heat and sweetness as she introduces readers to Lucas Fournier and Stephanie Frazier.
Lucas was a sexy blend of playfulness, sweetness, and pure entertainment. I loved that Sawyer didn’t add any unwanted angst or drama and kept the focus primarily on Lucas and Stephanie as they tried to work out their relationship.
When Lucas attends a charity benefit at a museum, he is greeted by the beautiful Stephanie Frazier, a museum curator. Both Lucas and Stephanie are attracted to one another and so they agree to a night of just sex. Fast forward to a couple weeks later, Stephanie informs Lucas that she is pregnant and he is the baby daddy.
Lucas, of course is naturally shocked and is willing to take responsibility. Since Lucas and Stephanie will be having a baby, Lucas wants to really know Stephanie. As these two begin to spend more time together, Lucas discovers that Stephanie had a very different childhood than he did. He discovers why she is very independent and stand-offish when it comes to love. Since Stephanie never experienced love, will Lucas be able to show her what love feels like?
Here’s my put up or shut up. I’m in fucking so much love with you I can’t sleep at night. Half the time I don’t think I can breathe because I miss you so much. I don’t want to be friends with you, and I don’t want a casual fuck. I want you to let me love you. I want you to love me back equally.”Lucas and Stephanie had the sexual aspect of their relationship down and so I loved that we got to see another side to their relationship when we finally got to see Stephanie’s fears and brokenness be healed by Lucas and his family. Lucas is definitely your feel good read. This book was brimming with lots of love and charm that you can’t help but fall in love with Fournier family. As always, Sawyer Bennett gives her readers a love story that was both sweet and sexy. Overall, Lucas was another great addition to this series and I can’t wait to see what is in store for Fournier’s baby sister in Van’s book.
