Baden (Pittsburgh Titans, Book 1)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: January 11, 2022
Synopsis:
I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all. Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again. When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love.
While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued. Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone. Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by simply being there.
Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another. As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our broken pieces become one. But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the pain of our past prove too much to overcome?

In the last few Vengeance books we have seen many sides of Baden. It began with him saving a young woman's life and being left for dead in a horrific attack. He then began a long hard fought recovery of physical therapy and rehab. He has worked relentlessly to gain back his strength and use of his legs, and although he wasn't expected to walk again he defied the odds and regained his life and is not only physically stronger, but mentally as well. His goal has always been to get back onto the ice and play hockey again, but the question remained if that was attainable or not. While he was mulling that decision over, tragedy struck when the Pittsburgh Titans Team Plane went down, leaving no survivors and a new opportunity has arisen and has been offered a position on the team as goalie coach.
Upon his arrival in Pittsburgh, Baden visits Sophie, the woman he saved from the awful horrific attack. His intention is to only check in on her but instead he discovers that eight months later, she is still very traumatized, and is suffering from panic attacks, and PTSD. Baden’s determination to be there for Sophie, was so endearing. I loved the strength and support he provided her.
Sophie and Baden have an incredible connection. For them, their love story is unexpected and such an emotional journey. One I was routing for from beginning to end. They share the pain and trauma of what happened to them and a beautiful connection is formed. The romance is slow and torturous at times, but the build up is incredibly worth the wait.
This was a fantastic start to a new series. Sawyer Bennett is my go-to for hockey romance and cannot wait for more in this series to come. I am already invested, and am eager to learn more about the team and players as they rebuild and grow this team from scratch.
