King

A Pittsburgh Titans Novel

De: Sawyer Bennett

Narrado por: Robert Hatchet, Erin Mallon

Jack Kingston is known for his dominant playing skills on the ice, but off, he’s a down-to-earth guy who values a true connection over a meaningless hookup.

I love being a member of the Pittsburgh Titans, even if my teammates are constantly ribbing me about women who they claim are throwing themselves all over me. Could I go for the easy lay? Sure, but that’s not my style. I’m more of long-term kind of guy. Instead, I’m going to keep doing what I do best—killing it out on the ice. Everything else will fall into place…eventually.

That time comes sooner than expected, in the most unlikely of ways. At the rink to watch our goalie’s kids play Peewee hockey, I meet Willa Montreaux and somehow, by the end of that interaction, I’ve offered to help her coach the Ice Pups. Altruism or were there other intentions in that offer? A little of both, if I’m being honest.

As the time I spend with Willa increases, I am absolutely certain I want even more. She’s gorgeous, sure, but that’s superficial. Willa is also funny, loving, determined and smart. SO smart. Doctor smart. Probably too intelligent for a jock like me, but that’s not going to stop me from shooting my shot.

Not looking for anything more than a fling and concerned that she’s too old for me, Willa doesn’t want to venture into anything serious. I’m willing to put in the work and give her the space she needs to come to terms with the fact that the connection we have is far more than physical. Willa and I are end game, but I’m willing to play into overtime if that’s what it takes to walk away with her by my side.

Jack and Willa

A fortuitous meeting of two people who are clearly meant to be together. Jack may be young but he's very mature and has an old soul. Willa has a past that holds her back from moving forward or should I say unenthusiastic to jump into a relationship. When these two collide both their worlds get flipped upside down but in a worthwhile and beautiful way. I adored the way Jack put himself out there and loved Willa no matter how unsure she was. This is another fantastic addition to an already amazing series.

Age Gap

What a wonderful age gap story about Jack "King" and Willa. He's 25 and a professional hockey player for the Titans and she's 33 and a doctor. They meet at a peewee hockey practice where Willa is the 6 year old team coach. She doesn't know hockey but is willing to coach. King sees her and is enthralled with her. He offers to help coach in order to get closer to her. I like seeing the other players and significant others and the way they embrace Willa. King is determined to break down her walls. I like his determination and the way he proves himself to her. I thought Robert Hatchet and Erin Mallon were terrific narrators. I'm looking forward to the next book teased at the end of this one.
