A must read for any lover of the Cold Fury series. I loved seeing Roman the bad boy of Cold Fury finally find love, with a free spirit who showed him the importance of family. I really enjoyed Lexi, her spunk and open heart nature. Another hot story in this series, which is a must read for me.

Absolutely loved this book!!!! Sawyer Bennett outdoes herself with every one of these players' stories from the Cold Fury.
Roman and Lexi really nuzzled their way into my heart! I adored everything about Lexi including the fact that she plays the ukulele. Roman turned out to be exactly the man I knew he would be. I really can't say enough about the character development and the way this author allows us to watch them grow.
Just a fantastic read!!!

I love that even though this series has grown as large as it has, that we still get to see characters from the other books throughout each of these. It's like they say, Cold Fury is a family. And I like to get caught up with what the family has going on now too.
Roman is another bad boy, who needs to change his way. His attitude in the beginning was, you knew that about me before signing me on so deal with it. Then Lexi enters the picture, she doesn't ask him to change. I think that's one of her best attributes, she is willing to take him as he is. But loves him more because he chooses to change. Roman is just in awe of Lexi, even when she has trials going on in her life, she goes out of her way to make time for him. Not because he's famous or has money. But just because he's Roman.

ROMAN is the seventh book in the Cold Fury hockey series. Each book in the series is a standalone, although all the characters are interconnected. This is a charming story about Roman Sykora, the enforcer for the Cold Fury hockey team. He is the bad boy on the team and his antics keep getting him into trouble.

Lexi Robertson and Roman meet at the Cold Fury offices. Lexi is there to introduce herself to her newfound father. She is surprised when her dying mother tells her she is the daughter of Brian, owner of the Cold Fury. Brian is surprised and excited to discover Lexi is his daughter. He is wonderful and welcomes Lexi into his family but his only daughter Gray, has a difficult time accepting Lexi.

I enjoyed this sweet story and all the characters. Roman and Lexi make a great couple and bring out the best in each other. Roman has never been in a relationship before, so it takes him a while to figure out how to be a boyfriend. I love how he tries to be a good boyfriend, even though he makes a few mistakes along the way. He is dedicated to Lexi and treats her well and is always sweet to her. Lexi is a free spirit. She is carefree and fun and people naturally gravitate to her. She has a soothing effect on Roman. She teaches him how to enjoy life. This touching story pulled at my heartstrings.

Wow I cant believe we are 7 books into this wonderful series, and that even after so many later they are still some of the best sports romance books I have ever read!!!

This is Roman and Lexi's story. Now Lexi arrives at the Cold Fury Hockey Club as the long lost daughter of Brian Brannon. He had no idea she existed, but is more than happy to welcome her into the fold. Her half sister Gray is not so welcoming though!!!

On the first day she arrives to introduce herself to her dad, she meets Roman the bad boy of hockey. She is taken with him and soon after their relationship begins. The problem however is that her sister and CEO of the Cold Fury Hockey Team does not like Roman at all. She thinks his bad behavior on and off the ice are not good for the team. This causes problems for Roman and Lexi as she is trying to win over her new family so she wants to keep them happy, but she really feels something for Roman as well. Can she choose between the 2 or can she have both?

Now while I loved Roman and Lexi, her father Brian and his lady interest Olivia stole the show for me. I would have loved to read more about them. Brian is a uptight 61 year old owner of a hockey team and Olivia is a 47 year free spirted coffee shop owner. I loved all their scenes together and I loved how he went from uptight to casual when he was with Olivia.

Another awesome read and next up is going to be Lucas!!! Looking forward to that!!!

3.5-4 stars!

One of the best stories Sawyer has ever written. I don't know what she did because it was really different from the way she wrote Roman was fantastic and I loved the way she incorporated a love story for Brian, Lexi's dad into this story. I can't wait for more!

Roman Sykora has a reputation as an enforcer for Cold Fury Hockey team, he also has a reputation of being a bad boy and finding trouble outside of the rink. His boss has had enough, she makes a threat either ship up or ship out. Roman finds himself distracted though when he meets Lexi Robertson. He doesn't know what Lexi was doing at the Cold Fury office, but he is definitely intrigued by the little rebel.

Lexi has a secret one that is about to be revealed and it involves the owner of Cold Fury. Lexi is definitely attracted to Roman and the feeling is mutual, both are out of their element with one another but can't seem to resist one another. However there is someone else in Lexi's life that wants her far away from Roman, but what does Lexi want?

Loved this, Lexi is a hoot and so sassy. Roman is a fascinating character because he is kind of cold and distant, but with Lexi he opens up. I think this might be my favorite in the series thus far. If you like Hockey, alpha men and romance, this is one to pick up.

Loved it!! This is, in my opinion, the best book in the Cold Fury series. From the very first sentence, I was hooked.

All Lexi wanted was a family. After her mom died, she was hoping to find her family and connect with them.

Roman just wanted his one-night stands, to play hockey (the way he wanted to) and to be left alone.

Until Lexi. The relationship they have is amazing! I was able to feel the love they had to give, long before they showed it to each other. It was very refreshing to see there was no cheating in this book, and when there was a chance to cheat, the character was extremely uncomfortable. It was also good to see that there was no "other woman/other man" issue. Honestly, after a while, the other woman story line gets to be a little old.

If you haven't read anything by Sawyer Bennett, I highly suggest you start. She's amazing.

Just when I think this author that can't possibly top the previous book in the series, she goes out and nails another one. I loved everything about this book! Roman and Lexi were the perfect couple together and I am so glad they were allowed to explore that. They balanced each other perfectly and the chemistry could not be denied. I liked that we got glimpses into the Fury organization and reconnect with characters from previous books in the series. I cannot wait to see what this author has next in the series! If you enjoy great series reads, then pick up the first book in this one and get reading.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book provided by NetGalley.

Author Sawyer Bennett is always a go to when I crave naughty dirty talking men.
Once again, she left me drooling!
There’s a triple story going on here.
One is Roman Sýkora, team player with Cold Fury and he is a bad, bad boy!
He’s aggressive on and off the ice with players and management.
Second, Lexi Robertson the woman who not only catches Roman’s eye but is a bit
of a surprise for team owner Brian Brannon.
Third, a love I wasn’t expecting.
Roman and Lexi steamed up my kindle screen with earth shattering orgasms while
family drama and sweet new beginnings provided an even blend of both erotic
and contemporary love.
It was nice catching up with Ryker and Grey but my girlie parts are waiting for
Lucas (Cold Fury Hockey #8) due out in September!
Roman (Cold Fury Hockey #7)
Releases: Feb 21, 2017

Another fabulous book by Sawyer. I thought the three person point of view would difficult to read. But I really enjoyed reading Roman, Lexi and Brian's views of the storyline. It was like two stories rolled into one and completely worked! Can't wait to see what's next!

I did request and received an advanced copy of this story in exchange for my honest review.

SAWYER BENNETT KEEPS GETTING BETTER!!! I really keep thinking there is no way she can make the next in the series better and she tops it over and over. Roman and Lexi SIZZLE. Not just the sex chemistry but the dynamic of the relationship and I LOVED the third POV in this book, it added a dynamic I was NOT expecting. The overall feel of this book gives you one of longing and hope for all involved. LOVE IT!

Oh this book! So much happened in this book! So much good and so much character building! I love this series. I really love that i get to catch up with characters from other books and get updates on their lives. I also love when the characters from new books get to be related to ones from other books, gives me a more in depth chance to see the characters develop and grow and change.

Roman Sykora gives the term bad boy of hockey a new meaning! ON the ice and OFF the ice hes constantly in trouble with his team owners and manager. Fighting on the ice, sometimes warranted and sometimes needlessly, and random hookups with bad girls off the ice have put him in some serious sticky situations lately and have landed his butt in the seats of his managers office for diciplinary action more times then is healthy for his career. He's never had a good relationship with his manager and it has nothing to do with Gray Brannon being a woman and all about her not ever taking his side or understanding that hes doing what needs to be done on the ice to protect her star players. Hes an enforcer and his job is to give hits and protect. And what he does OFF the ice shouldn't be counted against him....

Lexi Robertson has had more then enough change in her life lately. Watching her mother and her only parent slowly and painfully die to cancer has left deep and painful scars that wont be healing anytime soon. Learning that her never known father finally has a name thanks to a heart wrenching confession letter left behind on her mothers death bed. Now shes finally feeling strong enough to reach out to him and risk being turned away. Imagine her surprise while waiting in his office waiting room when she looks upon a man that catches her eye and her interested. Unfortunately for her this is the worst possible time and probably the worst possible man considering hes being called into her unknown half sisters office just as shes being called into her unknown fathers office. BUT something in him calls to her and right now she could use someone to hold her and tell her that everything will be ok....even tho it might not be.
