Alex

Alex by Sawyer Bennett

My rating (out of 5 stars):

3 stars—I liked it.

My Thoughts:

I have read several books by Sawyer Bennett and I really like her stuff. I loved the heat and emotion of these characters.

Why only 3 stars you ask? Two things… There were useless characters thrown into scenes and then the book just moved on. What’s the point of building up and introducing a character only to have them disappear without a trace? And, also, the end was mega cheesy.

Overall, a recommend for my romance reader friends. I’m definitely reading the rest of this series!

Description from Goodreads.com:

“Hockey star Alexander Crossman has a reputation as a cold-hearted player on and off the rink. Pushed into the sport by an alcoholic father, Alex isn't afraid to give fans the proverbial middle finger, relishing his role as the MVP they love to hate. Management, however, isn't so amused. Now Alex has a choice: fix his public image through community service or ride the bench. But Alex refuses to be molded into the Carolina Cold Fury poster boy . . . not even by a tempting redhead with killer curves.

As a social worker, Sutton Price is accustomed to difficult people--like Alex, who's been assigned to help her create a drug-abuse awareness program for at-risk youth as part of the team's effort to clean up his image. What she doesn't expect is the arrogant smirk from his perfect lips to stir her most heated fantasies. But Sutton isn't one to cross professional boundaries--and besides, Alex doesn't do relationships . . . or does he? The more she sees behind Alex's bad-boy facade, the more Sutton craves the man she uncovers."
