Slick's review: 
 Holy hockey sticks, I really did not expect such a sweet story for this character in Sawyer Bennett's Cold Fury Hockey series. Don't get me wrong, there was still plenty of smokin' hot sexiness, but the immediate connection they make with the feeling it is something "more" for both of them made them both realize something special was between them. There were a lot of layers to this story and quite a few subplots in which the romance could have been lost, but Ms. Bennett did a fantastic job of making sure that what was building between these two characters took precedence and everything else revolved around this unique couple. Roman is a feel good romance, there wasn't a lot of strife or complications between this couple and I loved that neither of them played games, they were very honest and open with what they were thinking and feeling. 
 Roman Sykora has a reputation as the Cold Fury's bad boy both on and off the ice and he makes no apologies for either one. From an early age Roman took control of his life and he lives it as he sees fit. Not much on rules, Roman chooses to live life to the fullest so being called in to the general manager's office for another meeting after his life has once again been splashed in the media is no surprise but the young woman he meets in the reception area is a surprise as is the connection he feels with her. 
 Lexi Robertson knows her life is going to change the day she sits in the Cold Fury's reception area waiting to meet with the team's owner, Brian Bannnon, but she has no idea just how much it will change. Meeting Roman Sykora is like nothing she's experienced before but what happens when she meets Brian, the man she believes is her father is another thing all together. 
 Lexi is one of those heroines I love; she is strong, self sufficient, free spirited and smart, but after losing her mother she craves a family connection and while she adores her boss, Georgia, she wants to know the man who fathered her and his daughter, Gray. Her honesty and her quirkiness makes me want to be friends with her and it is those qualities that make both Roman and her father fall quickly for her. 
 While there is some drama in this book it is not between Lexi and Roman for the most part, no they get along great and they try really hard to keep the animosity between Roman and Gray out of their relationship and while at times it spills over and Lexi take the brunt of it because she's trying to be a good sister and a good girlfriend, Roman and Lexi are great together. They share everything about their lives, they enjoy each other's company, they miss each other when their schedules conflict, they love teasing one another, but most of all they have a deep respect for one another. 
 Ms. Bennett offers up another fantastic romance in Roman and it left me with warm and fuzzy feelings on many levels; it was a book about all different kinds of relationships as well as dealing with what life throws at you when you least expect it.
