Tacker (Arizona Vengeance, Book #5)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: November 5, 2019
Synopsis:
I am not okay.
Fifteen months ago, my life was turned upside down when the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancée die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head.
Since that day, I’ve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. Because that is the one place where the bad memories are banished and I can escape my pain.
But off the ice, I’m spiraling out of control. Losing the grip on my life and putting myself and my career in danger. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, I’ve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team.
The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist. I can’t buy into the brand of happy clappy crap this woman is feeding me. What could she possibly understand about the type of loss that I’ve suffered? How does she know anything about finding happiness after losing the most important person in your life?
Turns out, I’ve got a lot to learn, and she’s just the person I need to break through those walls I’ve erected.
I am not okay.
But for the first time in a long time, I know that I will be.

About the Author:
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone. Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two.
When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active daughter, as well as full-time servant to her adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or even better, both.
Sawyer also writes general and women’s fiction under the pen name S. Bennett and sweet romance under the name Juliette Poe.

Review Copy Provided by Author
When I think hockey books, rarely do I think “emotional” and “tugs on the heart strings,” but that is exactly what Ms Bennett has given us with Tacker.
If you have followed the Vengeance series, you’ve met Tacker and know a lot of his back story. Here we get to see what happens when he his forced to face his issues head on.
Given Tacker’s past and issues, I was curious as to how he was going to be a romantic hero. Ms Bennett handled this with grace and honored the grieving/healing process while also letting light and joy into a potentially difficult story arc. The choice of Nora for a leading lady made a huge difference. She is the the type of character everyone should have has a friend and she is the perfect pair for Tacker.
One facet of the story that I appreciated was that his healing process was just focused on one part of his life. We also saw Tacker repair relationships with friends, teammates, and people he considers family.
I don’t want to say too much more about the well written and engaging book because I don’t want to give anything away. I will say that if you are new to the Vengeance, you can start here - this is a stand-alone. But, Tacker is a secondary character in almost every book leading to this one, so reading the series in order would only make the experience better.
