HAWKE by Sawyer Bennett

This was a really emotionally book where I sympathised with the male main character rather than the female.  She had no right to put all the blame on Hawke for something she decided on.

 Hawke has it going on. He is the defenceman for the Cold Fury Ice Hockey Team and when he's off the ice, there is nothing holding him back from partying and having a good time.

 Nothing can mess with him.  Except something did and it's in the form of his ex-girlfriend, Vale Campell, walking back into life after she dumped him.

 Vale Campell is a complicated girl and I did not like her.  She removed almost all the blame from her and Hawke's breakup from herself.  Who does that?

 It was Vale's idea to break up with Hawke, he even came after her, all for nought.  Then some months later, she decides to contact him and when he does not respond, she blames him for not loving her and walking away from their relationship.

 I mean really, really Vale.  Men are not like women.  They do not have the capacity that women have for emotions.  When a man's heart is broken once, he's bitter for relationships in general, when it takes a woman (usually) three to four heartbreaks before they get bitter about men. 

 She was against Hawke talking to her father, she was against Hawke talking to her and she was just against Hawke in general, blaming him for their relationship not working out. Hawke did not want them to be on bad terms, and tried to be her friend, and got under her defences.

 Now, Vale wants him back and when Hawke is hesitant to do the whole relationship thing again with her, she's angry.  In my opinion, Vale should have told Hawke the truth from the beginning, instead of making him think that he did something so terrible that she had to break up with him.

 Let me stop here before I give too much of the book away, it's just that this book made me so mad and that's how you know that this is a good one.  Books are great when it makes you experience emotions towards the characters, whether bad or good.  Hawke is a man who only has the capacity to love one woman and that's what made him awesome. 

 Vale, on the other hand, needs to grow as a person a little more and learn to stop taking out her disappointment of herself on others. This book can be read as a stand alone since I have not read the other books in the Cold Fury Series, and I felt curiosity for the previous books in the series since the couples were mentioned in this book, but the previous books are not needed to enjoy this book.

 When you read this book, please drop a comment of what you felt when you read this book or any questions you would like to ask me about the book would be welcomed.  It can be like a little book club chart.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

You might think that Maggie Calhoun must be out of her mind, especially since this all came about with her parents divorce.

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting.  Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out.  Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
