The Arizona Vengeance are developing a reputation on the ice as one of hockey’s top teams. But one player’s reputation offthe ice might just keep him from scoring. . . .
I’m having the time of my life with my new brothers on the Arizona Vengeance. We may be an expansion team, but after notching some big wins, the entire league knows to watch out for Erik Dahlbeck. That’s me.
The only person who doesn’t seem to think I’m so great? Blue Gardner, the hot-as-f*** flight attendant on our team plane. I sure wouldn’t mind joining the mile-high club with her, but besides bringing me lukewarm coffee, she won’t give me the time of day. Whatever I did to rub Blue the wrong way, my teammates think it’s hilarious. After all, we’re used to women flocking to us. #puckbunnies
When I run into Blue back on land, I’m shocked to learn how she spends her time off: taking care of her handicapped brother. There are layers to this girl I never imagined, layers I can’t wait to peel away. And that’s a new feeling for me.
But first I’ve got to find a way to melt that ice-cold stare. Because as much as I try to pretend I don’t care what Blue thinks of me, how can you not care when you’re falling for someone?
The Arizona Vengeance series from New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett can be read together or separately.
Erik Dahlbeck is a charming playboy who can usually hook up with any woman he wants. So he is puzzled by the fact that Blue Gardner, the flight attendant on the team plane, wants to have nothing to do with him...and seems to actually dislike him.
Blue is bright, witty, and vibrant, but her life is not easy and she has responsibilities. And she knows something Erik does not seem to remember, and she is still holding it against him. And her animosity just makes him want to chase her more. Erik is determined to win her over any way he can. She begins to see he is not the self centered, egotistical man she believed him to be and is actually caring, protective, and sweet.
Blue is not used to having someone try to help her and have her back. And she has some guilt issues from her past that affect her. Erik is not used to caring or wanting to be with just one woman. Considering their rocky start and antagonism, this is a fairly low angst read. There is some drama, but it is not overdone.
This is sweet, sexy, and heartwarming. I liked both Blue and Erik. They had great chemistry and rapport. I loved Billy and how he related to the others. I enjoyed more time with other players Dax, Bishop, Legend, and Tacker. I really need a book for heartbroken Tacker, seriously. But Legend's story was teased and he is next.

Erik Dahlbeck is enjoying his time with the expansion team and the success they are finding despite being a first year team. He is confident and comfortable around women and has no trouble finding a hook-up whenever he wants one.
Blue Gardner doesn’t seem to think he’s as great as everyone else though, giving him a polite but cold should when they are forced to be near, and ignoring his existence if she can. She is all business, fiercely independent, working with intense focus to keep things as comfortable as she can for her brother. But in the little free time she has, she knows how to have fun and is an incredibly loyal friend.
As Erik tries and fails to start something with Blue, he discovers that there is more to her than the attractive outside he was initially drawn to. But she doesn’t believe that he could be looking for anything but a fun time, especially because of the way they first met.
I loved the gradual shift from ice queen to warm and inviting that Blue went through in regards to Erik. And learning why she had her walls up around him make me love the current situation even more. She had some issues she needed to get past, and they had a surprising bit of history to work through as well.
This was a fun addition to the Arizona Vengeance world. As these players become more of a team, I am enjoying the little bits and pieces we learn about the other characters. I am looking forward to more from this new expansion team!
