Publisher's summary

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 that 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.

Kane!! Swoons!!

Kane never thought he’d ever in his lifetime even think about settling down. He always enjoyed his freedom as it was and hockey was his number one priority. However once his best friend Molly suddenly shows up at his place worn out and nearly sleeps for 24 hours he knows something is up. Molly writes a travel blog and visits sights all over the world with her faithful companion Samson her beautiful dog.
*
Molly decides she needs time away from traveling and hanging out with her best friend is the best way to spend her time. However she’s not telling the whole reason for wanting to stay with Kane. She’d rather not worry him and they’ve been friends forever nothing more except one drunken evening they had a little thing but since then they’ve chosen to just be buds.

Overall the story was another amazing piece of the Arizona Vengeance Series!! I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us next!

The narrators were perfect for this story!

Mollie and Kane's story is the perfect friends to

Mollie and Kane's story is the perfect friends to lovers romance. They had been friends since college, and both traveled for work so being friends was what was best. I loved that they got together early on in the book so that they could face the challenges together. I also loved that at the end they both had to take a step back to see what was truly important and to compromise.

This book is not the first in the series but it can be read as a stand alone. You would just know more about the secondary characters if you had read the other books. I loved the Jameson Security Easter Eggs!

Friends to lovers with steam

Where to start with this book.. it was such a great read and refreshing to have steam and love with little drama. Kane and Molly are such a sweet couple that made me wish I had a best friend to fall in love with. As with all of Sawyers books, I love getting characters from her other books that pop up for some fun. You will never regret reading this book!

Oh Kane❤

BFF's to lovers. Beautiful story. Jeremy and Lessa were great with the narration. This is one of my favorites inthe series ❤ 😍 🙌 💙

Another great friends to lovers story

Kane Bellan was a last minute trade to the Arizona Vengeance before the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Rafe Simmons asked for a last minute trade to the Carolina Fury because his father was dying of cancer.

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

The books starts off in the summer, right before training camp starts. The Vengeance are Stanley Cup champions so the pressure is on to win again and be back to back champs. Mollie is Kane’s best friend for the last ten years. The two met in college and developed a fast friendship. Mollie is travel blogger who came to Phoenix to spend time with her best friend. However, we learn that Mollie returns because she was attacked while on the road.

Friends to lovers is always an instant download for me. I love when you fall in love with your best friend. I have read all of Sawyer Bennett’s hockey romance books but this is the first one that I listened to as an audiobook. Narrated by Jeremy York and Lessa Lamb. I love duel narration and both of their voices sucked me right into the story.

Kane and Mollie

A genuinely beautiful, endearing, and heartfelt friendship to lovers romance. Kane and Mollie are absolutely perfect for one another but with their careers can they make it work? I adored they way they communicated, their chemistry, and just their undeniable connection. Sawyer Bennett never ceases to amaze me. I enjoyed every single moment of this book.
Narration was great!

I LOVED IT!

This is one of my all time favorite series! I recommend it to everyone. Kane is just as awesome as the rest of the series! These characters are great together! I love how Sawyer Bennet writes their romance and chemistry. It really pulls you in. But then there is a story there as well and depth. This book is a lot of fun and kept my ears glued to my headphones!

Wonderful best friends to more story!

I am a sucker for beat friends to lovers story and this one warms my heart!
Kane and Mollie became best friends during their freshman year in college, and have shared in each other’s ups and downs over the past decade. Now, travel blogger Mollie has come to Kane for refuge after being attacked during her travels. When Mollie has a date with Kane’s teammate, Kane decides that it’s time to let her know how he really feels. The pair allow their true feelings out and it is soooo cute to ‘watch’ as Mollie is accepted by the Vengeance family. But Mollie’s attacker is still out there, will she survive to have her HEA with Kane?
Another fantastic book, with excellent narration, in this series. Can’t wait for Riggs’ book...and Braden...aw heck, the entire 2nd line!
I accepted a complimentary complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Sweet and sexy...

A sexy friends to lovers romance. Kane and Molly’s chemistry was instant and hot. I enjoyed their sweet and low angst story and the cameos from another series. Jeremy York and Lessa Lamb’s narration was great and added an additional element to storyline.

Friends to lovers with a twist

I have loved listening to this series and could not wait to get my ears on Kane. The guys and gals of the Arizona Vengeance Series have all been great characters and I love how each new book keeps us posted on the previous characters we love so much. This is Kane and Mollie's story for love but it's so much more. They have been best friends for years. In college they tried for more but wasn't willing to risk their friendship so that has been they way it has been for the last ten years, that is until she shows up and he realizes he wants so much more.

This book is a fast track to love that took a long time to get there. It has some danger that they wind up getting help from Jameson Force Security to resolve so we get a cross over of another great series. We get a glimpse into two new characters that I hope have books coming up and lots of love. This book is well written and keeps your attention and keeps you guessing at times as well.

Jeremy York and Lessa Lamb did a great job as Kane and Mollie. I enjoyed listening to them from start to finish.

I loved this book and highly recommend it. It is part of a series but it is a stand alone as well. You do not have to have read or listened to the previous books but they are all good too so I hope you do.
