Drake by Sawyer Bennett - New Release and Review

Drake: A Pittsburgh Titans Novel Sawyer Bennett Release Date: January 3, 2023

Synopsis:

Read the first THREE chapters of Drake Drake McGinn turned his back on hockey after the league betrayed him. Will the Titans be his chance to clear his name and take back the career he once loved? After I made the decision to divorce, my ex-wife set out on a smear campaign against me, telling anyone who would listen that I was betting on hockey and throwing games. It wasn’t surprising that my ex told the lies, but the fact that the media, league, and fans chose to believe her baseless claims was unforgivable. I walked away from it all and never looked back. Having settled into life as a single dad to three boys, I’m content. I have more money than I could ever need, and plenty of time to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and whoever I want. So when Brienne Norcross, the team owner for the Pittsburgh Titans, shows up at my house with a job offer, I have no problem turning her down. But the no-nonsense billionaire, with sinfully seductive red lips and killer heels that would look hot as hell thrown over my shoulders, won’t take “no” for an answer. Now I need to find balance between hockey, my boys, and the explosive chemistry Brienne and I can no longer deny. A cast-off hockey player and the league’s only female team owner? I can think of a million reasons why it could never work but can’t bring myself to care about a single one of them. Game on. All books in the Pittsburgh Titans series can be read as standalones.

Review Copy Provided by Author

Be prepared for your ereader to steam with this latest installment of the Pittsburg Titans franchise.
This time we follow team owner, Brienne, and brand new out of retirement goalie, Drake.
To say that Drake has baggage would be an understatement. Add in the complications of team owner/player and you have the makings of a secret almost enemies to lovers story.

Ms Bennette does an excellent job of easing these two past the evolution of their relationship without either of them realizing what’s happening until it’s too late.
My one “complaint” is that Brienne seems to be overly forgiving when Drake’s baggage rears it’s head and causes him to react poorly to situations. For as “hard” as she is in terms of business, the vulnerability that she shows is touching - but I do wish she made him work a little harder to earn her forgiveness.

As this book is #5 in the series, there is a lot of overlap for previous main characters in secondary roles. This is a standalone, but reading the series in order would add to the enjoyment of Drake.
