Release Blitz: Camden: Sawyer Bennett
Camden
Sawyer Bennett
Camden Poe is the last of The Lucky Three, the surviving Pittsburgh Titans who weren’t on the team plane the night it went down. By all outward appearances, he’s adjusted to post-crash life well but inside he’s wrestling with the guilt of living.
The catastrophe that killed the Pittsburgh Titans changed my entire world. My teammates were more than my friends—they were my brothers. I mourned their loss with the rest of the nation but then I did as I’ve been taught… I moved on. I focused on returning to the ice with the newly rebuilt team and put the tragedy behind me. Considering the circumstances, I adjusted well. Or so I thought. Now I’m plagued by nightmares of the crash and my play has suffered as a result. Facing the possibility of losing my place on the team, I need to pull myself together and fast.
My buddy and linemate, Mitch Brandt died in the crash, leaving his wife Danica and son Travis behind to pick up the pieces of their shattered family. After reconnecting with Danica at a support group meeting, I find myself inexplicably drawn to helping her and her son move forward. What starts as two friends finding solace in one another following a tragedy becomes something more, leaving us both wondering if we deserve this chance.
I feel as if I’m walking a precarious line between a man falling for an incredible woman and a man moving in on his dead friend’s wife. But one thing is crystal clear—I’ve found a peace with Danica that I wasn’t sure I’d ever have again. Now I need to find the confidence within myself to push past the insecurities and make sure she knows how important she is to me because if I don’t, I’ll lose the one thing that makes me truly complete.
Camden was one of The Lucky Three that was not on the team plane when it crashed, and for the past year, he thought he’d been doing all right. He keeps his nightmares and struggles to himself, but trying to keep everything pushed down is starting to show and some people are noticing.
Danica‘s husband died in that same plane crash. So now her whole world has changed and she’s a single, working mom just trying to make the best life she can for her and her son. She’s now working for Brianne as the Director of the new charity foundation.
After talking at an event, Camden realizes he misses being friends with Danica. And wanting to help Danica and her son seem to give him a sense of purpose. So all of a sudden he’s showing back up in their lives, but the more he’s there, the more they find they enjoy being together.
They begin to see each other in a new light. The friendship connection they already had starts to build into more attraction and a secret relationship and eventually feelings. But there’s a layer of complications to their situation. She is his late friend and teammate's widow and there are layers of guilt, grief, and expectations. And Camden is a private person and very much affected by how the team or fans might judge them and what kind of impact it could have on him and Danica or her son. And he has his own fear of failure and guilt that make him wary. Danica seems more well-adjusted, even though she suffered such a great loss. But these two really seem to provide each other with understanding, comfort, and a true natural connection that starts to help them heal, enjoy life, and make them whole again.
But is Camden strong enough to fight his demons and risk the repercussions?

This brings back many other team members and significant others and sets up the next book. I just love this series. It’s easy to get immersed back into this world and it just feels like a comfy, coming-home type read. And Camden and Danica were totally likable and I loved their relationships with her son,Travis.
Camden Poe is the last of the final three to have his story told. He wasn’t on the plane crash that killed most of his team and looks like he has adjusted to surviving and his new team without a hitch. But he is affected, just hiding it well, until he isn’t. When he joins a survivors’ group, he reconnects with his best friend’s widow and something clicks.
Danica wouldn’t have imagined herself a young widow, and now that she finds herself with that title, she has had to make major changes since Mitch died. As she takes on a new job with the team’s charitable foundation, she finds each step of moving on with her life a little easier.
They begin as friends, and Camden makes himself available to help Danica’s son, Travis, as he gets back into hockey. Through the various interactions they begin to think there could be more between them, but Camden is hesitant to go public because of the “bro” code he feels towards Mitch.
I loved watching the friendship build between these two. They are a great support for each other, and the feelings developed so naturally as they spent more time together. Camden really through he had everything together following the crash, and it was heartwarming to watch him work through the reality of everything he was bottling up. (That feels like an odd way to say what I’m feeling about it, but I can’t think of a better way to phrase it.)
I listened to the audio version and loved the way Aaron Shedlock and Savannah Peachwood voiced the characters. They made an already fun read even more immersive as they made the emotions and reactions really come to life.
