Jenn Amy Reads: New Release + Review: Wylde by Sawyer Bennett

Wylde (Arizona Vengeance, Book #7) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: May 12, 2020

Synopsis:

There’s a reason they call me Wylde and it’s not just because it’s my last name. I might be one of the newest players on the Arizona Vengeance team, but I’m no stranger to the celebrity that goes along with being a professional hockey player. Whether it’s a fan seeking an autograph or a puck bunny looking for more, I’ve grown used to the attention. I not only thrive on it; I use it to my advantage. Let’s just say my bed is rarely empty. When a quirky redhead at the local bookstore stops me dead in my tracks, I decide to pop in and turn on the trusty Wylde magic. As smart and strong-willed as she is beautiful, Clarke Webber isn’t swayed by my witty banter or charming good looks. And when she realizes who I am and the fame that comes along with it, she likes me even less. Thankfully, I’m always up for a challenge. The more I get to know about her, the more I know my playboy days are behind me. If I’m going to capture Clarke’s heart, it’s time to be a lot less Wylde, and a lot more Aaron.

REVIEW

4.5 STARS

I adored Clarke and Wylde’s story! Wylde blew me away. He is so much more than the cocky player he was made out to be in previous books. The moment he sets his eyes in Clarke he is intrigued by her and is relentless in his pursuit of her. His confidence was super sexy. Clarke on the other hand took me a bit to warm up to. In her responses to Wylde’s advances we immediately know she has some deep routed trust issues and we know he is going to have his work cut out for him. At some points her insecurities grated on my nerves but I also understood them because of a past experience.

Clarke and Wylde start their first 2 dates attending weddings of previous players and I loved catching up with some of my favourites couples from the series and found myself tearing up at them getting the wedding of their dreams.

Clarke fits in with the Arizona Vengeance family immediately. The women welcome her with open arms and everyone is stunned and intrigued by this woman that has made Wylde put his playboy ways in the past.

Wylde was so patience, sweet and caring with Clarke as she works through her trust barriers. When they physically connect it is explosive and I couldn’t get enough.

Although this is part of a hockey team and its players and their love interests, Sawyer Bennett does a perfect job filling in readers on what they may have missed if they choose to read this as standalone.

Hockey romance fans will adore this and I highly recommend it.
