About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett hits the ice with this stand-alone story of a playboy athlete whose winning ways lead him to a beautiful woman with a lot to lose.

Carolina Cold Fury star Garrett Samuelson never wants to miss out on a single minute of fun. 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. When he meets Olivia Case, he sees someone who’s exactly his type—confident, sexy, smart . . . his next fling. But the more he pursues her, the more Garrett shares a side of himself that other women don’t normally get to see.

Olivia has been keeping a secret. While Garrett lives for the next thrill, Olivia’s not sure she’ll live to see the next day. 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. But as she gets to know the real Garrett, Olivia can’t help falling for him . . . hard. To reveal the truth would mean risking everything—but you can’t score without taking the tough shots.

Ratings and reviews

I loved the first Cold Fury story about Alex and Sutton. So I was excited to have the chance to read about Olivia and Garrett’s story. Just as she is given some devastating news, Olivia meets Garrett at a Cold Fury party. She has been given a medical diagnosed which causes her to look at her life and make some changes. I was a little sad at the direction this book was taking. Books are supposed to be happy and uplifting. Granted it is a diagnosis that is treatable but not cured. I think sometimes when you are first given a diagnosis; you start thinking about your life expectancy. However even though it was a story about a woman with a medical illness, it really isn’t. It is the story of Olivia, a woman who fights to take control over her life and the man who stands by her no matter what. You get the impression Olivia’s life is a little mundane. So she decides to live life to the fullest so to speak. As I mentioned even though this made me a little sad with some of the story lines, the author did a beautiful job with the epilogue.

Garrett Samuelson is your quintessential player. He loves women, yet there isn't one he has gone out with more than three times and that is stretching it...he's mostly a one night stand kind of guy. Just prior to training camp starting, he meets the stunning Olivia Case and while he initially plans to find his way into her bed, after she shuts him down, he realizes that maybe there is more to this beauty than what he thinks. What Garrett doesn't realize is that Olivia is harboring a secret, one that only her cousin and best friend know about, that is weighing heavily on her. Her newly diagnosed medical condition is going to present many challenges in the coming months and she doesn't want to drag anyone else into her already chaotic world. While neither Garrett or Olivia are looking for anything serious, they finally decide to go out and things end up progressing much further, and faster, than either of them anticipate. Will they be able to overcome the challenges presented to them by her medical condition and is Garrett really as ready for a relationship as it seems?

Wow! Who could have thought that Sawyer Bennett could take a sexy, womanizing hockey player and turn him into a man every woman dreams of? Enter Garrett Samuelson. This man likes to live each day to the fullest, whether it is playing hockey or spending time with a different woman every night....and then BAM.....enter Olivia Case. Yes, she is gorgeous and everything he wants for one night but the best part is she is not interested! Of course this makes Garrett try even harder. What Garrett doesn't know is that Olivia is dealing with a big health issue. While she would love to be a notch on Garrett's bedpost, she realizes that she cannot start anything up. After Garrett's relentless pursuit, Olivia decides to enjoy a night with Garrett before she has to begin her long journey to being healthy. After their night together Garrett realizes that Olivia is different and he doesn't want just one night with her, he wants many, maybe even forever. When Olivia refuses, Garrett again pursues her. Once he finds out about her health issues, he wants to be involved even more. I loved their story and the wonderful way Garrett was with Olivia. Everyone needs a special someone in their life like tha
