"The fact she won't give me the time of day makes her infinitely hotter to me for some reason."

I guess his being a pro hockey player makes it pretty mind-boggling for him when his advances are shut down in no uncertain terms. Blue makes it extremely clear that she wants nothing to do with Erik, the enforcer for the Arizona Vengeance. What makes it even worse is that his team mates thinks it's pretty hilarious that the player can't play, at least not with her.

When he gets the opportunity to see her off-duty, hanging out with her brother who's in a wheelchair, he becomes even more intrigued. He sees a softer side of her when she's with Billy. When she's not withholding her smiles she's even more breathtaking. His infatuation becomes an obsession as he attempts to get past her walls and convince her to give him a chance.

Blue has little money and a lot of responsibility. She needs to concentrate on her brother, she doesn't have time for an arrogant hockey hunk. "I wish he wasn't so easy on the eyes, as it would make it a whole lot easier to ignore him." But ignore him she does...

I really enjoyed this sweet story. Billy pulled not only my heartstrings but the rest of the team as well. I knew that Blue wouldn't be able to resist him forever and I loved the slow build as Erik pursued her. As this new series progresses and I get to know the guys better I'm getting more and more excited for the single ones to find their ladies. Being a sucker for the broken ones, I'm especially drawn to Tacker. He'll probably be last, because I want him most, right? The line forms here...

I am somewhat addicted to Sawyer Bennet books. I have a problem. And her hockey series is my first and true love. Needless to say, I loved Erik! He was a smooth talker and showed his heart from the start. He tries to be the bad boy, but is really a lovable romantic underneath.

This is one of my favorite series out there!

Erik is the second book in the Arizona Vengeance series but can be read on a stand alone basis.

This book drew me in right from the get go. Erik and Blue had great chemistry and I really enjoyed the development of their relationship. The story was fast paced, it held just the right amount of emotion and feels and the banter between the hockey team mates, provided a lovely touch of wit and humor. I really enjoyed Erik and would happily recommend it.

I was provided with a copy of this book from the Publisher via NetGalley; there was no inducement or obligation and I opted to leave a review.

I figured Erik would have a sweet, soft side but his heart was even more beautiful than I expected. Seriously swoon worthy. But don't worry, he can still get downright dirty. Blue's dedication to her brother was absolutely heartwarming. Love these hockey guys and their women!

Best second chance romance ever! Totally loved this book. This was such a fun, moving, and emotional book that had me hooked from page one. Why is Blue so rude to Erik? Loved what she made him do in order to get a date with her. Loved how they were with each other and I cried over their heartbreak. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy and I highly recommend this book

Could a playboy ever change? Do second chances really exist? Do we learn from our mistakes? Erik is a hockey star and playboy. When he meets Blue on the team private jet he is drawn to her and so starts his flirtations. Right from the beginning she wants nothing to do with him. She knows how much of a playboy he is and wants no part of it. She is a different person than she was years ago. No more of the playgirl but now with responsibilities. But the more time goes on the more Erik tries to get Blue to go out with him. Finally she agrees after daring him to do something and he does.

From then it was like a transformation of sorts. Erik is no longer the playboy but a respectable, dependable, caring guy. He treats her like the gem he thinks she is. They make such a great couple. Yes there is a sexual attraction but also so much more. Erik becomes someone who means so much to her in such a short time. But can she give him the time and attention he deserves? Will guilt prevent her from committing to him?

Once again Sawyer Bennett delivers a story full of emotion, love, laughs, and so much more. Another hockey series that scores the winning goal.

Absolutely adored this book and fell hard for Erik! After a cringeworthy first meeting, Erik just can’t get Blue out of his head. Blue is strong yet vulnerable and Erik isn’t giving up without a fight. I loved the way the story progressed, and I am super excited for the rest of the books in this series, especially Legend and Tacker!

I loved Erik!!! Oh man, these guys just get better and better with each book. He was simply an amazing counterpart to Blue.

They met 5 years ago and never dreamed that this would become their lives. I adored this story!

ERIK by Sawyer Bennett. Erik and Blue have stolen my heart. I adored both of these characters - Erik, a hockey playboy, it's knocked over by his attraction to Blue. Blue, a flight attendant and a loving sister to her disabled brother, wants nothing to do with Erik. Watching these two navigate their journey through the ups and downs of a relationship was joyful and heartfelt. I smiled as Erik did nice things for Blue and her brother. I cried when Blue shared some of her reasons for wanting to be alone. And I cheered for Erik and Blue to fight for each other and find their happy ever after. I have been a fan of Ms. Bennett's Cold Fury series (adore those sexy hunks) and, wasn't sure how to receive this new Vengeance series but after reading this second book of the series (not necessary to read both to enjoy but highly recommended), I can see the these new sexy hockey hunks are giving Cold Fury a run for their money! (received ARC for honest review).

Arizona Vengeance’s enforcer ,Erik is known has a playboy so he’s having a hard time getting Blue,the beautiful flight attendant to give him a chance.
Such feels!! Erik is one swoon worthy guy! I loved the way he was so taken with Blue and Billy.
The story was beautiful and heartfelt,bringing so many emotions to the surface,especially the love between siblings. Sawyer Bennett did a incredible job of putting you right there with Blue,Billy and Erik.
Can’t wait to discover more of the Arizona Vengeance!

Erik.

He's a ladies man - always has been. He doesn't have time for anything serious.

But this one girl is different. Blue. She's the flight attendant on the team's plane. And she kinda hates him. He tries flirting and talking and being nice. Not working.

Blue doesn't have time for a player in her life. Even if he's as hot as Erik.

Also, she kind of met him five years ago - and he doesn't even remember!!!!!

Poor Erik will have to fight real hard to get his happily ever after with Blue!

Let the fun times begin ....

WHAT WiLL HAPPEN TO BLUE & ERIK????
WiLL THERE BE A HAPPiLY EVER AFTER?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! ☺☺☺

══════════════════════════

Book 2! Yay!

We already met Erik in the first book and we already saw how not excited Blue was to have him flirt with her.

It's really adorable to see the poor guy not getting what he wants for a change.

But it's not taking him all that long to convince her that he's changed.

But getting Blue is not the only thing poor Erik has to fight through to get to his happy end!

I really enjoyed this book.
It was erotic and fun and sweet and I adored how Erik was with Blue's brother Billy! Really cute.

Even though there wasn't much happening in the story. They get together pretty early and by the 50% mark the book could've ended, but it didn't ... it was a bit too long. The best things about those too long parts were the moments about the next books. Legend and his new neighbor and Tacker with his sad past.

There's a lot of book material still left for us in Phoenix! ☺

Can't wait to see what Legend will be up to next! And Tacker!!! When will we get his book?!

ERIK was a fun, moving & sexy new romance in this new hockey series! Great cast!
Run to your nearest amazon for your own ERIK - this one is MINE!!!!

Wow! This may be my new favorite hockey series EVER! I loved the Cold Fury team, don't get me wrong, but two books into the Arizona Vengeance and I am completely head over heels for these guys.

Erik is a playboy and all around flirt. For that reason alone, Blue wants nothing to do with him. Add it a chance previous meeting and she has built her walls up really thick. Once she lays it all on the line, Erik decides she is worth the challenge and just gives her honest HIM. Friendship is always a great place to start and they go forward from there. These two just seem to click once their walls are down.

What I love about this hockey team is it is an expansion team. All the players are in the same boat and starting from square one. It leaves them more open and a bit vulnerable. Their friendships are just coming around as well. The author writes some awesome banter between the guys.

Then let's add on the layer of Blue's brother with disabilities. I am so very pleased with the way the author incorporated this into her story. Especially happy with Blue's decision to keep him in his group home even if she could bring him home again. So spot on to all the tangled web families have to navigate when they have a person with different abilities to care for. Thank you for that honesty.

I am eager to meet the rest of the team and all their HEA's! Grab this series today!

Erik and Blue are made for each other. Their relationship started five years ago with a drunken one night stand, that blue thought was going somewhere. Fast forward 5 years and blue is holding a grudge when Erik starts flirting she blows him off. When she finally tells him they know each other intimately, he is floored. This books has it all and I loved it.
*I received an ARC from NetGalley, and this is my honest review*

I am always up for a good sports romance - especially hockey ones by Sawyer Bennett and Erik is one of my absolute favorites. This is book 2 in her new series, Arizona, Vengeance, but it can be read as a standalone. This book sucked me right in from the beginning, moved at a good pace, and kept me entertained until the very end. I really liked both Erik and Blue. Playboy heroes with hidden depths and a good heart tend to be my favorites and I couldn't help, but love Erik! Blue has a brother with cerebral palsy and this book touched me in many ways as I have a daughter with special needs. I felt that I could really identify with her. You can tell that Sawyer Bennett does research for each of her books. This second chance romance is low on angst, has some great humor and romance and has a HEA with no cliffhanger. I received this book as an ARC and I voluntarily leave this review.

4.5 stars
Erik was an amazing character, he was so much deeper than he seemed in the first book in the series. I also really enjoyed getting to know Blue better. Their relationship was complicated, but also so very sweet.

Erik is my new swoon worthy fave book boyfriend.
He surprises me by his actions, definitely showing that people can and do change over time. His compassion and feelings for Blue and her brother Billy are fantastic. He is fabulous, as are his teammates in the Vengeance. Anticipation for more of these lads and the relationships they pursue.

I was blown away this book! I loved it! the story was so well written and the issues the characters felt were gracefully done! Perfect for the second book of this series! I can't wait for more!

OMG this guy is the most swoon worthy of all! Who would have thought that a known player would have so much potential for a relationship? When Erik sees Blue with her brother, he is more than intrigued. His attitude does a 180 and the best part is that no one needs to ask of him to care because he genuinely has a soft spot in his heart. I love that about him, he knows what comes first and is very grounded and rational as to what needs to be done and how to react to situations. I think he is perfect for Blue because he grounds her. She is in the process of learning to balance a personal life with being a responsible adult. Not just for herself but also for someone else in need of constant help. And because of that and other reasons she is resistant in trusting Erik and including him in her life. But no worries, he steps up to the challenge and surprises everyone with his good intentions and how big his heart is. Your heart will just keep swooning and swooning at the turn of every page. He will melt you!

Sawyer Bennett is one of my one-click authors and now that we are two books into the Arizona Vengeance series, these guys are quickly becoming some of my favorite Sawyer heroes!

Erik Dahlbeck is trying to acclimate to being taken in the expansion draft by Arizona, which has changed everything in his life. The only things that are still the same are the fact he's still a player both on off the ice. Erik has always loved women, and has made no secret of that, but when he sets his sights on one of the team's flight attendants, Blue Gardner, he may just be willing to retire the off the ice player moniker.

Blue Gardner loves her job as a flight attendant for the Arizona Vengeance, but she has someone else she loves more, namely her brother, who suffers from cerebral palsy. When Blue isn't working, whether it be for the Vengeance or another side job she has, she's spending time with her brother and she doesn't have time to deal with dating.

When Erik and Blue come face to face, Erik tries hard to flirt, but Blue wants no part of it. What Erik doesn't realize is Blue has a very good reason for her cold reaction to him. It's clear early that the two have amazing chemistry, but will they get the opportunity to see if it can go the distance? Will Erik be able to sway Blue's original feelings toward him?

This book had moments of heat, moments of sweetness and moments of heart. I loved the characters and I loved how the entire story unfolded. I'm already intrigued and ready for Legend's book, so bring it on!

Good Lortttt Erik is just...just so amazing. I love his big strong self. He plays Hockey so there is that. He is hot, sexy, and all the things!
He knows he was a jerk face in the past, but he wants to make it right, not only for himself but for Blue.
Blue is stunning and doesn't even realize it. She is selfless. She deserves better then the old Erik was willing to give her.
He knows that and he tries to give her everything and more. When Blue finally lets him in she has no choice but to fall head over heels for him. He shows her a very different side of himself and she kind of likes it even tho she tries to tell herself it can't last.
They have an amazing physical connection, but their emotional connection is so strong that falling in love is not an option, it just happens.
