Kace is the latest installment of the Pittsburgh Titans series.
He is the young goalie finding his place as he steps in for an injured starter. But, Kace has a secret!
Considering we are 20 books into the Titans series, I was afraid that we'd be running out of ways to have the stories be fresh. Ms Bennett did a great job of giving Kace an interesting back story and even more interesting love interest.

Kace was a character who was more complicated than he initially appeared, and it was truly a pleasure to get to know him better. He is paired with a professor, Laurel. Their connection is sweet, and it was so entertaining to see them get to know each other and explore their future.

This is a sports romance where hockey plays a big part in the story. The secondary cast is a small segment of the Titans, which makes it easier to keep track of the key characters in the series. This book also seems to be laying the ground work for us to start moving on to the next evolution of Ms Bennett's hockey stories and I can't wait to see where she takes us.
Please don't take the fact that it took me a while to read this personally, life is just lifing lately.

Ryder ~ Jessica Peterson ~ Release Boost & review


 

One hard fall in the rodeo ring.

One maddeningly gorgeous cowboy.
One chance at love she swore she’d never take.


Billie Wallace has spent her whole life trying to prove she’s more than the Wallace Ranch’s “wild” only daughter. All she wants is a shot at barrel racing—and a purpose beyond crunching numbers in her daddy’s office. But when her very first run ends in disaster, Billie lands flat on her back with Ryder Rivers—her childhood crush, her brother’s best friend, and the town’s notorious heartbreaker—hovering over her.

In all the years she's known him, Ryder has never entertained Billie's shameless flirting. But after her fall, he's suddenly everywhere—showing up to help her when she’s hurt, staring at her across the honky-tonk when she’s trying to move on with a bronc rider, and encouraging her to explore her dream career.

Before either can really register what’s happening, their partnership sparks into much more than just dust and arguments.
Late nights turn into stolen kisses. Stolen kisses turn into something that feels dangerously like forever. Ryder swears he’s not the staying kind, but the way he looks at Billie like she’s the only woman in the world makes everyone start to wonder if he’s ready to stop running…

Please don’t let the fact that it took me two weeks to read Ryder mean something bad - I’ve been having a major case of life lately!
Ryder does double duty as a book. It’s the final book featuring the Rivers boys as they find their true loves while also introducing us to the Wallace family. The Wallace’s have appeared in secondary roles before, but this is the first time they, in sister Billie, have a feature role.
Ryder and Billie are awesome together. Not only do they have amazing chemistry, but they also help each other grow in key ways. I truly enjoyed watching them grow together.
The secondary cast continues to be great! This is technically a standalone, but there is so much of the Rivers boys in this book that you are better off reading in order!
