Ryker

Cold Fury Hockey Series #4

By: Sawyer Bennett

Narrated by: Cris Dukehart, Graham Halstead

The stakes have never been higher for Carolina Cold Fury goalie Ryker Evans. With his contract running out, he's got a year left to prove that he's still at the top of his game. And since his wife left him, Ryker has been balancing life as a pro hockey star and a single parent to two daughters. Management is waiting for him to screw up. The fans are ready to pounce. Everybody's taking dirty shots - except for the fiery redhead whose faith in Ryker gives him a fresh start.

As the league's only female general manager, Gray Brannon has learned not to mix business with pleasure. And yet even this tough, talented career woman can't help breaking her own rules as she gives Ryker everything she's got. She hopes that their hot streak will last forever, but with Ryker's conniving ex plotting to reclaim her man, the pressure's on Gray to step up and save a tender new love before it's too late.

5 of 5 Ryker STARS!!! I need and want A RYKER EVANS! Where may I find a magic mistletoe to conjure up a RYKER? I was happy, crying, then needed a hockey ice stick to cause some damage (well no more needs to be said; My Secret ;)
Well-written compelling plot. Bennett knows how to write a humorous sex scene and have a reader laughing. Love the many deference of morals entwined into the plot. Thank you for the 101 on hockey. I'm speechless!
​
Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend this brilliant, sensual, romantic hockey novel.

must read

great hockey love romance. I've been enjoying this author with all the books I've read.

I love this series!

I fell in love with Ryker and Gray. I am a big fan of sports romance, hockey romance in particular. The Cold Fury series by Sawyer Bennett is one of my favorites and Ryker is one of my favorites of that series. I first listened to it through Audible Escape. I loved it so much I bought it. The Cold Fury series has just the right balance of hockey and romance. The books in the series also have strong female characters. This book features a female General Manager of the hockey team who falls in love with one of the players.

I bookmarked this book all over the place. There are so many special scenes. Their story felt very relatable. Cris Dukehart and Graham Halstead did a terrific job with the narration.

Love this series!!

Chapter 29 of 30
How the fuck do we just slide by assault and almost rape with no repercussion or addressing. She fucking down played the assault to keep the attention off if the team....!??? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!????
What kind of message is this!?? I get that we don’t read these books for major life lessons but that is just plain unacceptable!!
While Sawyer Bennett is still one of my favorite authors and this series being one of my all time favs, Ryker was my least favorite of the series so far.
I DO HAVE TO THANK HER FOR GIVING ME THIS BOOK WITHOUT THE LAST MINITE RIDICULOUS BREAKUP/FIGHT FOR “THE GREATER GOOD”
THANK YOU!!!

ENJOYED...

This was a sweet, happy love story. I LOVED Ryker and Grey. Graham Halstead did an ok job narrating but Cris Dukehart came very close to ruining the entire “vibe” of the story. Her voice simply did not fit the part of Grey, and neither narrator could voice the opposite sex very well. But, this book reminded me of book #1 of THE CHICAGO STARS series which was one of my favorites, so I discounted Dukehart’s performance and enjoyed the story.

My favorite so far

This one is my favorite story in the series so far! I liked Grey and Ryker! I rooted for them through out the story. I liked the fact that she was a strong female lead.. She was his equal. She didn’t need to be saved or protected. Great story! On to the next book!

A perfect romance :) **this is a must read series**

I have read every book by Sawyer Bennett and I must say I am never disappointed. This was a beautiful romance and I only had to roll my eyes a couple times, unlike most romances where you want to strangle the heroine and tell her she's being a moron. I don't like lots of angst and this was the perfect combination of drama and happiness. And for once one of the lovers didn't let the other go "for his/her own good" as seems to be the case in most romances. I hope there will be another cold fury book coming after this as I am hooked on those hotties!!! <3

This time TWO Cold Fury Team figures find love

I've loved all the Cold Fury books, and I try to pace myself to make sure they last a while. I liked Ryker, but it was probably my least favorite of the series. For whatever reason, I found it less easy to instantly relate to Ryker and Gray, and I found the sex scenes a little too frequent and over-the-top. Tiny, insignificant details also niggled at me: if Gray had been such a phenomenal athlete, why was she satisfied now with a gentle yoga workout? And then there was the dénouement: I thought Gray was too quick to make the decision she did. But the bracing excitement of hockey was there, as was the great camaraderie of the team. And in the end, the love between Ryker and Gray proved true and beautiful. I've already put the next book in my queue.

5 Hockey sticks of hotness

Lawd..lawd...lawd ...I love 💗 me some Sexy Ryker. Ryker is most definitely my favorite Cold Fury team mate so far!

Ryker/Cold Fury Hockey Review...

Great story with great narration. Actually had some deeper plots unlike other audiobooks like this, which I enjoyed (good job, author!). Both male and female narrators were spot on. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review
