I was excited to read this next installment in the Cold Fury Hockey series by Sawyer Bennett because it was about GARRETT. I was provided a review copy this did not influence my opinion of the book. To reveal the truth would mean risking everything-but you can’t score without taking the tough shots. But as she gets to know the real Garrett, Olivia can’t help falling for him. She’s undergoing treatment for some serious medical issues, and she doesn’t have time for a relationship with no guarantees-especially one with a hot-as-sin womanizer who won’t take no for an answer. While Garrett lives for the next thrill, Olivia’s not sure she’ll live to see the next day. But the more he pursues her, the more Garrett shares a side of himself that other women don’t normally get to see. When he meets Olivia Case, he sees someone who’s exactly his type-confident, sexy, smart. Whether he’s playing hockey, hanging out with friends, or walking the red carpet with a new date on his arm, he lives every day to the fullest.

"Your arm will be all skinny and wrinkled inside it when they take it off," Barry Tuckerman told him. Keiko wrinkled her nose and said, "Your cast smells bad, Ben." "I know," Ben said, making a face.
