Blurb:

Grizz McAvoy is the most electrifying player in professional hockey…and the most volatile. He’s got a wicked shot, a hair-trigger temper, and spent his childhood surviving his father's cruelty. Off the ice, he's a PR catastrophe, racking up fines, burning through handlers, and daring the New York Vipers organization to do something about it. He’s built his entire identity around one principle: winning solves everything.


But winning can’t silence the past trauma that haunts him when the arena lights go dark.


Daisy Turner was fired from a top style magazine for asking questions powerful men didn't want to answer and exposing hypocrisy in the world of high-fashion. She's looking to salvage her career as a journalist by scraping together a second chance as Grizz's new media handler. Fearless in her own right, she carries scars from a betrayal that taught her trust is a currency she can't afford to spend freely.


From their first combustible meeting, Grizz and Daisy collide in a battle of wills neither is prepared to lose. She challenges him, and he can't look away. What begins as mutual provocation becomes far more dangerous when the walls between professional and personal start to crumble, and the wreckage of Grizz's past threatens to destroy the one person brave enough to see through his rock-solid armor.


Grizz is a scorching, emotionally charged hockey romance about two people who were never supposed to fall for each other, and the bruising, tender, inevitable collision that happens when they do.

Grizz is the first book co-written by two authors and I have to say they have knocked the puck into the net with it. If you my drift??!!! Lol

Grizz and Daisy… where do I even begin! I loved Daisy’s fierce attitude and sass! I can definitely understand how Grizz got his name!! 

Grizz is a professional hockey player for the Vipers and because of his attitude, he is assigned a PR person! This is where Daisy comes in! 

Needless to say these two initially bump heads but it seems Daisy has the ability to reach into Grizz’s softer side! 

But with family difficulties and past trauma plus holding feelings in, Grizz cant seem to get it together! Is Daisy capable of taming Grizz to keep his act together for the team? 

This story has some serious moments but all in all it had my attention!

A great start to what I feel will be a fantastic series to come and I definitely need more from these two!

Blurb:

Kace Elliott is the hockey player with a genius IQ and a secret side hustle in applied physics. He’s falling for his research partner, but she doesn’t know who he is outside of the lab. Now, the closer they get, the harder it becomes for him to keep his two worlds from colliding.


On the ice, I’m Kace Elliott—starting goalie for the Pittsburgh Titans, fighting to prove myself in the playoffs. Off it, I’m William—a scientific researcher, quietly holding on to the academic world I’ll return to when hockey is over. Both versions are real, they just aren’t meant to overlap.


Until Dr. Laurel Kent.


Laurel is brilliant, principled, and deeply rooted in a world where transparency matters. She knows me online as William, her intellectual equal, the man who shares her passion for data, late-night collaboration, and easy, unexpected chemistry. William is very much her type whereas athletes are not.


I need her to like the bigger part of me—the hockey player. When she meets me in person, as Kace, I make the choice to let her see the type of man she’s sworn off from ever dating. She gets the Titans goalie and all the craziness that comes with the playoffs. But here’s where it gets complicated: I make the dangerous decision not to tell her Kace and William are the same person.


By some stroke of luck, Laurel agrees to give Kace a shot, and our time together is more than I ever hoped for. The closer together we grow, the less she talks about William, and I convince myself I’ll tell her the truth when the timing is better, once I’m able to prove I’m more than the label she’s written off. But timing has a way of unraveling even the best intentions.


As the pressure of the playoffs intensifies, the boundary I’ve relied on becomes impossible to maintain. When Laurel discovers how closely intertwined my worlds really are, I’m faced with the cost of asking someone to love only part of me.

And winning on the ice means nothing if I lose the woman who made me want to stop dividing my life in two.

I don’t even know how to explain how extremely wonderful this book is, or how to do it justice!

From the very beginning I was enthralled by Kace but also Laurel, she is a woman with a brilliant mind! I honestly really loved her as a character!

The way the storyline flowed and words penned are a testament to the amazing work of Ms Bennett!

I think this is one of my favourite reads of the Pittsburgh Titans series and I highly recommend it! 

Kace has two sides to him and finding this information out made him more intriguing! From the instant he meets Laurel, you can cut the sizzling tension with a knife! However he is keeping a secret from Laurel and when she finds out, lets just say shes not happy! Can you blame her though??!!

Is there potential for a HEA? Or will the secret destroy what could be two brilliant minds converging as one!! 

A brilliant story!

As a star left-winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, Atlas Karolak thrives on the ice but keeps his personal life uncomplicated. That all changes when tragedy strikes, pushing him into an unlikely partnership that tests his patience, challenges his heart, and threatens to rewrite everything he thought he knew about love and family.

Playing professional hockey wasn’t just a dream, it was the only one that ever mattered. I’ve worked my whole life for this career, and now that I’m playing for the Pittsburgh Titans, I’m exactly where I want to be. My life feels complete.

Losing my best friend to cancer shatters me in ways I didn’t see coming. And as I’m trying to figure out how to say goodbye, I’m blindsided again—because he’s named me and Maddie St. James as joint guardians of his daughter.

Maddie and I… we’re not friends. We’re barely acquaintances. If I’m oil, she’s water, and we’ve never managed to mix without friction. But for the sake of a little girl who’s already lost too much, we need to find neutral ground and figure out how to co-parent.

Are we capable? I’d like to think so. Are we scared out of our minds? Without a doubt. Can we put our differences aside and work together? Honestly, it depends on the day. But when stress turns into stolen glances, which turn into nights we can’t take back, our partnership gets a whole lot more complicated.

Because what started as obligation is starting to feel a lot like forever.

Atlas is the most heartbreaking story you will read! This book sent my emotions through the ringer! Big time!

I don’t know how the author does it but her writing is truly something special and her words just captured my attention!

Im not sure where to begin….

This is a story that will honestly wreck you but also give a semblance of hope in a positive way. 

I honestly had to gather my thoughts when I finished reading. 

This book is an absolute must read! 

Atlas and Maddie have to go through a very emotional time. But these two are like oil and wine…. Then having a little person to look after, can they reach a happy medium?

I loved the way Atlas’s hockey family rallied around them both. But these two pasts seems to rear its ugly head and makes life harder. 

Can Atlas and Maddie get along for the sake of Grayce?

An exceptional story!
