Dax (Arizona Vengeance, Book #4)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: July 9, 2019
Synopsis:The Arizona Vengeance is killing it on the ice. But one player can’t seem to keep his eye on the puck—all thanks to the woman he just married to save her life.
My name is Dax Monahan and hockey is my passion. And if you want to succeed in this sport you have to bust your ass 24/7. I’ve never had a hard time focusing on my career, but when my past comes knocking, no amount of training can prepare me for what lies on the other side of the door.
Regan Miles was always like a sister to me. When a shared tragedy brings us face to face after several years, I’m shocked to see just how much she’s changed. Gone is the shy, awkward little girl that always used to chase me and her brother around. Instead, I’m faced with a gorgeous woman who makes it damn hard to concentrate on anything but her.
Turns out, she’s in trouble, and the only way out is to get married.
I surprise myself when I tell her to marry me. Order her, actually. And most shocking of all, she doesn’t even hesitate before saying yes.
So it’s settled. We’re getting hitched and she’s moving to Arizona with me. All platonic, of course.
The catch?
I never knew I’d fall so hard for my best friend’s little sister.

Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released multiple books, many of which have appeared on the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
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.

3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time
Review Copy Provided by Author
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Ms Bennett and her hockey books. That said, I think I go into these reads with high expectations and while Dax is a great read, I don’t feel like it’s the strongest in this particular series.
I genuinely liked Dax and Reagan. The set up that brought them together as a romantic couple is interesting and I would have liked to seen more done with the story line. How Dax and Reagan dealt with issues they faced and related conflict almost seemed too easy.
I think my biggest concern/issue with Dax is that this book seemed to be a bridge between the three previous books and upcoming stories. Ms Bennett did and excellent job of blurring the lines and not excluding Dax and/or Reagan from the preparation for future stories, but I did notice the amount of time spent on secondary seemed more significant than I would have expected from her.
Overall, Dax is an entertaining read and definitely worth it for series fans. I would caution new readers to go back and start with Bishop’s book for some of the back stories referenced to make sense.
