Jenn Amy Reads: Kane by Sawyer Bennett is LIVE!

Kane (Arizona Vengeance, Book #8) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: September 15, 2020

Are you ready for Kane Bellan’s story?

I have a problem.

Potential problem?

I’m not really sure. Here’s the deal.

There’s this girl—isn’t that how it always starts?—and her name is Mollie. I like her. I mean really like her. I hope that doesn’t make me seem less manly than my professional hockey player persona implies. But here’s the issue—she’s my best friend. The one person I can count on for everything, who’s been there with me for all the moments, big and small.

When Mollie shows up at my door, travel weary and scared following an incident with an ex, my instinct to protect her goes into overdrive. It’s then that I know she’s more than just my best friend and the skates are swept out from under me when I find out she feels the same way.

Our transition from friends to lovers to potentially something more is seamless, the Arizona Vengeance is back on the ice looking for a repeat championship, and my life has never been better. Just when I think I’ve got it all figured out, the realities of us both having careers which keep us on the road put our blossoming relationship on ice.

It feels like the game just went into overtime and I’m on the verge of either the biggest win or most disappointing loss of my life. And losing is never an option.

REVIEW

4 stars!

Kane Bellan is the newest addition to the Arizona Vengeance Hockey team. He was traded to the team last season and was a part of getting the team to the Stanley Cup in the previous season. He is now a valued new player. He is settling into his new life in Arizona. He as been focused on his new team, and getting to know his teammates and building friendships with them. He has had very little time for relationships. He may hookup with the odd woman but doesn't get in the habit of forming an emotional connection or relationship with them.

Mollie Callister is a travel blogger. She is also Kane's best friend. They have been friends for over 10 years. She turns to Kane after a terrible run in with an ex-boyfriend as she feels safe and secure with Kane. They have a beautiful friendship. Both secretly had feelings for the other but would never admit or act on them except for once in college. Now that Mollie is staying at his place their attraction is getting harder to ignore.

This was a sweet, and sexy friends to lovers romance. It is low angst, lots of steam and a bit of suspense. I LOVE when Sawyer crosses this series with my other favourite series of hers, the Jameson Force Security Team. There were a few parts of this story that were problematic. They jumped quickly from friends to lovers and I felt the romance could have been slightly more developed. I will admit this wasn't my favourite of all the Vengeance men but I still enjoyed it and I am still in love with the series. I adore all that Sawyer Bennett writes. The way she weaves family and friendship into every story line is beautiful. There is always emotion and suspense and heart at the end and I am excited for Steele's story next.
