Review: Reed (Cold Fury #10) by Sawyer Bennett

Sawyer Bennett does it again. Reed was an awesome addition to the Cold Fury series. I can’t get enough of these hot hockey players!

Reed (Cold Fury #10) by Sawyer Bennett

Hockey season may be over, but in New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett’s new novel, a Carolina Cold Fury heartbreaker is heating things up off the ice and eager to score with the girl next door.

No one skates like Reed Olson. In the off-season, no one plays like him either. After back-to-back championships, Reed craves a different kind of action. Good thing there’s no shortage of women ready for a summer fling with a sports star. Reed has a specific type—blond, busty, not too bright—and a little black book full of options. But when his bed starts rocking, it’s his unexpectedly sexy neighbor who comes knocking. And the brainy beauty is impossible to ignore.

Josie Ives desperately needs something her celebrity neighbor obviously doesn’t: sleep. His headboard banging against the wall is keeping her up at night—not to mention inspiring some very naughty dreams. Reed is everything she imagined: a little too good-looking, with a body that puts Greek gods to shame. But he’s also funny and charming—a tempting combination. Josie’s the opposite of his type, yet the chemistry between them is undeniable. Their friendship certainly has its benefits, and it’s heating up to be so much more.

Sawyer Bennett’s New York Times bestselling Carolina Cold Fury series can be read together or separately.

5 out of 5 stars

I loved this so much! It was fun and sweet and left me incredibly happy. It was a wonderful friends to lovers story and an excellent addition to the Cold Fury series.

Reed and Josie were awesome characters. They had a fantastic first meeting which set the tone for the entire book. It was all so entertaining! I loved their friendship, their ease together and playfulness. They had this wonderful building relationship and it was so heartfelt. I loved watching their feelings grow and how everything evolved. There was great development through out and I was just enjoying it immensely. Josie was wonderful, smart and caring, and could hold her own. Reed totally made me swoon and I loved getting to know him and watching him fall for Josie.

The storyline and writing were great. There is an ease to it that was really engaging making me want more and more. I think Sawyer Bennett does an amazing job in making me feel like I'm a part of this world she’s created. I always feel invested in the characters, their story, and feel for them. I was excited while reading and enjoyed the story page after page. I am so incredibly excited for the next book in the series, Marek. I loved meeting him and the storyline that was introduced and I cannot wait to learn more about him and see how it all plays out. Seriously fantastic foreshadowing!

This was so entertaining and sexy! This story was light in the drama department, a pretty easy read for the most part but sometimes low drama and angst and a whole lot of charm is just what I need. Excellent characters with big hearts, romantic gestures, and a whole lot of sweetness. Loved this!
