About this ebook

I am not okay.

Fifteen months ago, my life was turned upside down when the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancée die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head.

Since that day, I’ve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. Because that is the one place where the bad memories are banished and I can escape my pain.

But off the ice, I’m spiraling out of control. Losing the grip on my life and putting myself and my career in danger. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, I’ve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team.

The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist. I can’t buy into the brand of happy clappy crap this woman is feeding me. What could she possibly understand about the type of loss that I’ve suffered? How does she know anything about finding happiness after losing the most important person in your life?

Turns out, I’ve got a lot to learn, and she’s just the person I need to break through those walls I’ve erected.

I am not okay.

But for the first time in a long time, I know that I will be.

Ratings and reviews

OMG I knew that once we got Tacker's story it would be amazing and heartbreaking and it was that and so much more. Between his heartbreak and redemption we also get to meet the amazing Nora who heals him and most importantly allows him to love again. If you have read the first 4 books in the Arizona Vengeance you have some insight on Tacker and his history. Lost his fiance in a horrific plane crash one that he blames himself for he has only found solace on the ice. After a series of events he is given an ultimatum get help or never play hockey again. It's with that allows Nora to enter his life. I don't want to give away any more than that but know that Sawyer Bennett takes the reader on amazing journey that in some cases lead me to tears. Tacker is worth the effort to find and devour you won't be disappointed.

5 star Review Tacker (Arizona Vengeance #5) by Sawyer Bennett I knew going into reading Tacker that this was going to be an emotional roller coaster of a story and Sawyer Bennett did not disappoint. I was absolutely hooked on this book from the first to the last chapter and couldn’t put it down. I have been waiting for Tacker’s story since he was first introduced in the Arizona Vengeance series and I knew that the woman who he would eventually open up and fall in love with would need to be someone very special; Nora Wayne is certainly that woman. The emotions that were pulled from me as I read this book had me in tears at times. My heart just about broke for Tacker and all that he he has been through, his pain and guilt was palpable. The chemistry between Tacker and Nora is off the charts and I loved the banter and humour that flowed as well. I also loved the dynamic between Tacker and the other members of the team, they certainly have one others back. This is a story that will touch you to the very depths of your soul. I have no words to do it justice. All I can say is one click this book and be prepared for one heck of a read….

After losing his fiancé in a horrible plane crash, Tacker now faces losing the only thing that has gotten him through, his hockey career. When MJ died he closed himself off from everything. Family and close friends. The only place where there was no pain was on the ice. Now after his drunken car crash he now faces losing that. If he wants to stay on the team he has to agree to seeing a therapist among other things. The first one doesn't really work for him so the team owner puts him in touch with a different type of therapy. Unbeknownst to Tacker Nora herself has suffered great loss. Through their losses a connection begins. Nora brings him out of his dark place and into the light so to speak. Tacker can now see that it is okay to grieve and to let go of the guilt. A bond forms between them that Tacker has never felt before. He will never forget MJ, but with Nora he can go on with life. Tacker was truly an emotional story that will have tears running down. Happy tears, sad tears and everything in between. A story full of love, not only between Nora and Tacker but love and understanding from his hockey family. I couldn't wait for Tacker's story from the first book of the series and once again it is beyond all of my expectations. Another winner from one of the most amazing authors.
