❤❤ MAREK by Sawyer Bennett 3.5 star review ❤❤

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars


When the Carolina Cold Fury’s hottest young star gets blindsided by an ex with a scandalous secret, it’s game on.


“One of the best voices in contemporary romance.”—New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne

Marek Fabritis is used to delivering blows, not receiving them. But when he gets tipped off by an anonymous email about his ex-girlfriend, the news leaves him ice cold—and it’s not because Gracen Moore is getting married to a total jerk. It’s the fact that Marek has a three-year-old daughter he never knew about. Now he’s going back home, not to play knight in shining armor but to make damn sure that no man takes what’s his. For the first time, there might be something more important than hockey.

Gracen Moore has always loved Marek. That’s why she let him go, so he could pursue a career in the NHL. And that’s why she never told him about Lilly. Only now does Gracen realize that she made an unforgivable mistake. But is that any reason for Marek to crash her wedding and make an epic scene? If the spark that still smolders between them is to be trusted, maybe. Still, Gracen’s not getting her hopes up. Because she knows better than anyone that appearances aren’t always what they seem. . . . 



**arc received for an honest , voluntary, unbiased review**

I usually love the cold fury series. I was so excited for this one. being a single mom I was excited to see how Sawyer gave this single mom her HEA. I mean these hockey men really know how to puck.. I mean play with the puck. with this one, Marek did know how to lay the puck.. but he also was quite a big jerk. and it was like he just couldn't move past the past. no matter what he said. actions speak louder than words and his didn't show much.

don't don't get me wrong, Gracen wasn't much better. throwing words to hurt, just because she can. she did try to stop herself, but she really knew how to cut deep with her words, just as much as he did. it was like a cycle with these two. and while we could see Marek grow and mature into a good dad, I honestly didn't see much growth in Gracen.

and yes, she went through a lot. by herself. but doing what she did by herself, for her parents, seemed naive and silly to me. and Owen just went away after all he did!? that just didn't jive for me . It just felt like how many times are we going to excuse his behavior because she made a mistake?

if you love the cold fury series , you'll like this one. I encourage you to pick it up and leave me your thoughts

3.5 stars
