I what world does a one-night-stand turn into an engagement? Well apparently in the world of Bishop Scott and Brooke Perron.
Bishop Scott is feeling a little salty, he’s been traded from his old team to a new NHL franchise, training camp’s about to start and he’s feeling the need to blow off a little steam. So when the hot little number at the bar more or less throws herself at him and suggest he come home with her, well who’s he to say “no”? What can a night of hot sex with someone he’s more than likely never going to see again hurt? Nothing until he not only runs into her the next day, but learns she works for his team, is the daughter of his new coach AND just got busted with his tongue down her throat by her dad…his new coach. Well FUCK.
Brook Perron has just recently lost her mom and because she’s worried about her dad, she gives up the job she loves in New York to spend more time with him and make sure he’s okay. All the recent events have her so stress that she decides one night of wild abandoned sex should fix her enough. Except being busted by her dad kissing the one night stand she thought she’d never see again, who happens to work for her dad and because she doesn’t want him to be in any type of trouble she blurts out to her dad that the guy kissing her and his newest hockey player is her fiancé just added to her stress. Well SHIT.
At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about these two because I just couldn’t figure them out. There were no extremely big egos or arrogant attitudes, no mommy or daddy issues. They both had good relationships with their parents or the parent in their lives, there was none of the usual issues that come along with a lot of the couples you read about. Then I figured there’s no catch; they are just two regular people two regular people who got really horny one night and banged each other hearts out. They really were two nice people who kind of got mixed up in a situation and they made the best of it. One might think, with a description like that, this would be a boring read. But it was anything but, I mean c’mon, you know Sawyer better than that. It was a really good read and watching, well reading about, two people get to know each other, become friends and fall in love. I think the whole watching them become friends was the best part of the entire book. Like I said, these were two really nice people who looked out for their friends and family and just people in general. From the way Brooke made a date of one of the players feel comfortable and welcomed at an event where she was basically snubbed, to Bishop trying to break the ice of one of the players who’d become something of a loner.
Since this is the first book in a new series this was like the introduction to storylines to come. While your getting Bishop and Brooke’s story , you’re also introduced to a host of characters that get your interest piqued and having you clamoring to learn more about them; like Erik the player and the guy with a “the type”. The type that seems to be pretty much like a particular flight attendant who seems to dislike him on sight; Then there’s Dax who’s Bishop’s best bud who was traded with him and who jumped right in to help with the charade Bishop and Brooke had going without thinking twice about it and finally there’s Tacker who’s the team loner that kind of keeps to himself and let’s himself be tortured by his demons.
I have yet to meet a Sawyer Bennett series I didn’t love and this one is shaping up to be no different, can’t wait to read more about these guys.

I absolutely loved this book! It was super hot and just amazing.
Bishop was perfect. I love a good hockey romamce

Sawyer Bennett gives us another great hockey series! I am a huge fan of the Carolina Fury series so I was anxious to get ahold of the first of the Arizona Vengence series!

Bishop and Brooke enjoy a one night stand only to find out she works for the hockey organization. Not only that- but she happens to be the coaches daughter. Caught in a compromising position that Brooke knows will make Bishop look bad to her father and it happens to be the team's first day on the job, Brooke proclaims Bishop as her fiancee. Now they must keep up the ruse and it starts to get tricky. Not only do they have to keep up their white lies and remember the facts that just don't exist- they are starting to fall for one another.

I think sports romance and Sawyer Bennett go hand and hand! She definitely knows how to write a sexy sports male lead character and I have enjoyed all her books in this genre so far!

This was a great first book in a new series. I got just enough of the secondary characters to get excited about their books (which I hope are coming soon).
I will admit that although Bishop is super alpha, is also is kind of a jerk and that took a while to get used to. Usually, Sawyer writes alpha male leads a little bit different.
But I still grew to like him and his connection to Brooke was definitely there!
I look forward to more books in this series!

Just when you think you couldn't love another Sawyer Bennett hockey team, bam she throws the Arizona Vengeance at you and boom you fall in love with the new team!
Follow the story of Bishop & Brooke, as their beginning is slightly out of the norm for her, and what happens next is one snowball after another!
I loved this new expansion team, facts are amazing, story is just....swoon...I loved it! I'm looking forward to a new brand of hockey boys to follow!! 5 trillion hockey pucks for this story!! Sticks up to salute you Sawyer!! Great job!!

I love a hockey story and this one was perfect. I loved the fake story that Bishop and Brooke came up with. It's very entertaining reading how it gets blown out of proportion. An adorable story of a accidental romance that becomes real. Great writing by Sawyer Bennett and the story flows so well you won't want to pause the story and continue later. You will need to read this in one sitting.

Sawyer Bennett can write some seriously steamy scenes with some amazingly alpha hockey hotties. I absolutely loved the Cold Fury Series and Bishop is a strong start to what is shaping up to be another amazing series, Arizona Vengeance.

Bishop and Brooke's relationship started off unconventionally, and for all intents and purposes, progessed very rapidly, but in the end they were able to find something beautiful and real, showing that fate often plays a hand in reality. Their chemistry was off the charts and this book was seriously HOT!!!

Bishop was protective and alpha but also had a soft side for Brooke, which made him completely sexy and swoon worthy. I read this book in one sitting because I could not put it down. Another 5 star hockey hero book by Sawyer Bennett.

Anytime I start a book by Sawyer Bennett I do so knowing that it's going to be good. I especially enjoy her sports romances. Bishop is a hockey player who has pretty much seen it all and done most of it. When he hooks up with a beautiful woman the night before he starts playing for a new team he's enjoying the life. Unfortunately, the woman, Brooke, turns out to be his new coach's daughter. As you can imagine this puts his career in jeopardy and together he and Brooke navigate their relationship to a great conclusion. Looking forward to the next in this new series!

I liked it well enough. It wasn’t this horrendous re-telling of her books all mashed together. It can definitely stand on it’s own. That being said it was kind of lackluster in it’s movement. It was a little slow in terms of speed.

The characters will suck you in. The game will be fiery. But the speed in which the book moves is just a little slow. It might be me. But I was expecting a fast-paced book. This was not it.

The relationship was perfect. Honestly, I think it was one of the better relationships Sawyer Bennett has ever done. It won’t be in my favorites. But it will be in my top ten.

I love a good hockey romance - and this one was very very good. A fake engagement leads to a real loving relationship. It was actually lovely to see Bishop fall right into the middle of a relationship just when it had started. I also appreciated Sawyer Bennet's writing skills - just like their relationship almost every sex scene started in the middle - every scene between Bishop and Brooke started in the middle - mirroring their relationship in every sense of the way.

The ending did feel a bit rushed - and I could have done with an epilogue to tide me over until the next book in the series comes out. That being said - I loved the sweet romance, the sexy times were super sexy, and overall I loved the book.

I was kindly granted an ARC via net galley - but the opinions are all my own!

I received Bishop by Sawyer Bennett for free in exchange for an honest review. Now, let me say this-- I have read several Sawyer Bennett books already. I do not believe that there has been even one that I have not highly enjoyed. Her books are funny, captivating, and sexy. The characters have quirks, but are relate-able and likable. This book was not any different. This was another hockey book, but this time, it was a different team-- a new expansion team, so a new group of players. I foresee another series in the making as several players have already been set up in this book with backgrounds leaving me wanting to know more. Even though they are "hockey romance" books, they are all quite different. I don't want to give anything away, so I will just say, read this. It was great!

I loved this first book in this series. Bishop was hot, sexy and all kinds of sweet. Brooke was sweet and kind. These two together were so cute, I loved the friendship they developed over time and that is wasn't just about sex. When everything comes out in the open can these two survive? I loved meeting all the players on the team and I can't wait for their stories, some of them look to be very interesting.

Fans of Sawyer Bennett’s Cold Fury’s series has been waiting for her new hockey series Arizona Vengeance to be released. It promises to be a great series, like her other one. While I think the beginning dragged a bit for me, by the second chapter I was swept up into Bishop and Brooke’s story. While it is the fake fiancé premise, their story is more. It is two people attracted to each other from the beginning fall in love. So they got engaged before the love and romance, I think it happens more than what we believe.
Ms. Bennett is a great writer and storyteller and every book gets better and better.

What a great first book to Sawyer Bennett's new series. I absolutely loved Bishop and was immediately hooked. Bishop and Brooke agreed to a one night stand from the very beginning, but when they run into each other the next day sparks fly and when they are caught by Brooke's father, aka Bishop's coach the little white lie that they were engaged just slips out of Brooke's mouth. I absolutely loved Bishop and Brooke together. You could see their relationship and feelings grow for each other throughout their story. What a great read.

Loved it, this book kept me up late because I couldn’t put it down, it had some twists and turns with a great storyline and great characters, can’t wait to read the rest of the series about these hunky hockey players

Sawyer Bennett brings us a new series about hockey players. The first book in the series introduces us to Bishop and Brooke. Bishop plays for a new expansion team based in Arizona, and Brooke is the coach’s daughter. Now of course, neither of them knew any of that when they met. However, as soon as the cat is almost out of the bag, the crazy begins. Both characters and their relationship were well developed. We were also introduced to several other members of the new team and provided with some of their history. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series,

2 1/2 stars. I feel like there is an off-putting pattern in the last few Bennett books that I have read. The heroes are all crude pigs. I think they're supposed to be Alpha but instead, they come across to me as crass a$$holes. Take Bishop for instance. He goes along with Brooke's lie to her father, which basically is supposed to be to protect him, and then pretty much TELLS her they will be having sex while maintaining said lie. His internal dialogue made me feel like he wasn't even going to give her a choice. I think that ever since the Wicked Horse books, her hockey books have veered off a little too far into raunchy for me. Not very scintillating at all. I find myself wrinkling my nose while reading them. And that makes me sad.

Sawyer Bennett is an amazing writer. You can relate to the characters. The storyline is a hockey theme but not something I have already read. I like how she connects the previous hockey team books with this new series. Can't wait for book 2. great read!!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Loveswept for giving me an ARC of this book. The review below is entirely my own opinion.

3.5 Stars

Fans of Carolina Cold Fury's hockey series will be very pleased to have another team to cheer for!

There's nothing earth-shaking in terms of general plotlines, esp if you've read as many sports-romances like I do; but Sawyer Bennett has a gift of bringing characters to life. So... You'll love Bishop. You'll want to pull your hair out (I know I did) because of Brooke and okay, okay, Bishop too. And man, you'll hate Nanette.

But I wish the ending didn't feel so rushed. It was too abrupt for me. An epilogue would have definitely bumped up the enjoyment for me.

Still, I'm looking forward to reading the stories for the others in this team! Looks like Erik's story will be next. But I can already say that I really, really hope we get a book involving Dominik Carlson, the hot and sexy billionaire. ;-)

What happens when the one night stand that you met at a bar happens to be the daughter of your brand new coach? You create a fake engagement!!! This book was simply adorable. The characters of Bishop and Brooke not only had great interactions but they instantly became the perfect couple. The storyline had me hooked from the opening pages and the ending could not have been more romantic. This book should not be missed.
