About this listen
I am not okay.
Fifteen months ago, my life was turned upside down when the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancée die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head.
Since that day, I’ve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. Because that is the one place where the bad memories are banished and I can escape my pain.
But off the ice, I’m spiraling out of control. Losing the grip on my life and putting myself and my career in danger. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, I’ve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team.
The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist. I can’t buy into the brand of happy-clappy crap this woman is feeding me. What could she possibly understand about the type of loss that I’ve suffered? How does she know anything about finding happiness after losing the most important person in your life?
Turns out, I’ve got a lot to learn, and she’s just the person I need to break through those walls I’ve erected.
I am not okay.
But for the first time in a long time, I know that I will be.

Bishop Scott, cocaptain. Not too shabby, huh? It’s all part of my fresh start with the NHL’s latest expansion team, and that means new teammates, a new coach, a new city, and a big new contract. But first, I decide to check out the town before the grind begins. Turns out Arizona chicks are totally smokin’, and I’m fortunate enough to meet one who’s looking for the same thing I am: a night of anonymous, unforgettable, no-strings-attached sex. Fast forward to the Vengeance arena. It’s the last place I expect to see her again - let alone in her own office.

As a divorced single father, I live by three rules: Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she’s number one in my life. No matter what, keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum, and turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life. When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: Don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

4.5 Stars - Absolutely outstanding!!
4.5 Brilliant Stars!!
I absolutely loved and enjoyed this unforgettable page-turner that will bring you to tears, that will have you wishing for Tacker and Nora's HEA.
Tacker is beautifully well-written, and evokes such emotion, that makes you feel as if you're part of the story. OMG, that really was such a heartbreaking story that will touch your soul in so many ways. Tacker and Nora's journery was absolutely outstanding, and worth following.
Nevertheless, I recommend that you listen to this amazing story. Stephen Dexter did such an extraordinary work bringing Tacker to life, and performing both male and female voices. He was just freaking brilliant. Lucy Rivers, is equally amazing, however, I couldn't got used to her male perfomance. Still, I did enjoy her performance. She still is one of my top favorite narrators.

Superb, heartwarming, romance
This is another excellent book in an excellent series. Tacker and Nora are so good together. Their individual histories make this book feel a little more grownup than the others in the series. It was perfect. Sawyer is a fabulous author. I can’t wait for the next book!!!
Stephen and Lucy both did a wonderful job giving voice to these characters. Again, they just felt more grownup than the others in the series. Super job!!

The story, narrators and cover - all great!
Sawyer Bennett was right, I have been waiting to hear Tacker’s story and she did not disappoint. What a sweet soul he turned out to be. I’m on a post-listen high at the moment. The narration was excellent, need to check out more by bother narrators. I believe I paid for this book (no credit) and I am no disappointed.

Emotionally charged with healing and hope!
Give me a book with substance and I am hooked. Sawyer Bennett has come through with the highly anticipated story of Tacker keeping our emotions high and our hearts in tact. After a horrible tragedy, Tacker is on a downward spiral. Depressed and uncaring, he gets himself into a predicament, but is given the chance to go to a therapist chosen by the Vengeance team owner. Now meeting his therapist, Nora, on her horse farm leaves him with doubts of her ability to help him. But her unconventional methods, their immediate connection and chemistry has him quickly thinking differently. Nora is quite a woman. She has a past that most would never overcome, and her ease with Tacker only goes to aiding in her fighting her own demons. With cameos of the other players, the relationship she has with her ranch foreman and this emotional story of healing and hope, we find ourselves feeling a little of everything. Tears and grief slowly become a shining beacon and help us all through Tacker’s story and fall in love with this wonderful couple.
Tacker needs someone who can portray his grief and a better choice of Stephen Dexter to narrate him could not have been made. He has a rawness too his portrayal that lets us feel all of Tacker’s emotions as we go through his story. Nora is a little tougher, so giving Lucy Rivers the chance to do this performance is perfect. Lucy has a little edge, very confident and always is able to give that slightly vulnerable feel to her characters. She is the best choice for Nora! These two compliment each other well and really bring the emotions to the table for us.

Emotional Love Story
This was one of my most anticipated books of 2019. Since the first time we met Tacker I knew his story would be an emotional one. Sawyer Bennett wrote an exceptional story of loss and hope with lots of emotion and heart. If I thought Tacker’s story was going to be heartbreaking it had nothing on Nora’s story. Both were just as excruciating to hear. To say these two needed each other was an understatement. They were meant to find each other at just the right moment to heal each other.
Stephen Dexter was perfect for Tacker. His voice was smooth and had me feeling every emotion Tacker had. Lucy Rivers was amazing and as she spoke of Nora’s tragic past I could feel it as my heart broke for such an innocent Nora.
As always I loved seeing the other Vengeance players as they interacted with Tacker and Nora and even seeing some on ice action. This book gave me all the feels and Sawyer couldn’t have done Tacker’s story any better. I look forward to more in the series.

Emotional
Tacker’s fiancée died in the plane that he piloted. He started down the road of self destruction until he was given an ultimatum to clean up his act. That’s when he met Nora, his therapist. Tacker and Nora both learned from each other on healing.
The story was the most emotional of this series. Since Tacker’s situation was first mentioned early on in this series, I couldn’t wait for his story, it was well worth the wait. The narrators, Lucy Rivers and Stephen Dexter did a excellent job.

I have been dying for this emotional story!
4.5 ☆ I have been craving this book for so long I am so excited the time is here! There has been a fantastic build up to Tacker and all the things he has suffered in his life. He has been through hell and back and getting to see him try to navigate through it was sad and wonderful at the same time. Not only is there a gut punch of what he suffered, but what Nora did as well. I loved seeing her break through the big grumpy hockey star's walls. They have a natural chemistry and it made for such a beautiful journey. I love these two together so much!

The one you’ve been waiting for!
If you’ve listened to the previous books you know the Tackers story was gonna tear your heart apart. His breakthrough moment was heart wrenching and Nora’s story brought tears to my eyes. To see these 2 beautiful characters evolve and find happiness with each other was nothing short of amazing. I loved Lucy Rivers as Nora and Stephen Dexter was great but his interpretation of Nora’s accent was not easy on the ears, thank fully it only happened in a couple of chapters, so listeners move past that to finish, it won’t disappoint.

Needs better narration
The story was good but the narration not so much. This was the only audible book I had a hard time getting through due to narration. Just didn’t do it for me.
