Lucas (Cold Fury, Book #8)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: September 19, 2017
The Carolina Cold Fury hockey team is stacked with hotshots. But when a new player joins their ranks, he learns that even superstars can’t go it alone when it comes to love.
Lucas Fournier is only serious about one thing: hockey. The league’s fun-loving charmer, Luc is always up for a good prank or a great lay, and he has no intention of settling down. But being traded to the Carolina Cold Fury—and to play alongside his big brother, Max—is no joke. With another title in sight, the last thing Luc wants is to let his new teammates down. To succeed, Luc will need to keep his head in the game and the most . . . er, demanding member of his anatomy in check. But when temptation hits, Luc hits back harder.
Museum curator Stephanie Frazier has always put business before pleasure, which just about explains her nonexistent sex life. But when Stephanie meets Luc at a champagne-fueled gala, she finds herself flirting like crazy—and going home with the uninhibited athlete. For one night, she learns what passion is all about. She just never counted on the little surprise Luc leaves behind. And that’s when things really start to get . . . interesting.
Sawyer Bennett’s New York Times bestselling Carolina Cold Fury series can be read together or separately.

4 Stars
Lucas is the eighth title in the Cold Fury Hockey series, and features Lucas Fournier. This title can easily be read as a standalone, but if you are familiar with the series, you will probably remember Luc from Max's story as he is his younger brother.
Lucas is a sports romance, with a great blend of heat, heart and steam.
Luc Fournier is a nice guy, with a big heart. He is patient, caring, kind, playful and sweet. He's hard working and very passionate about his career as an NHL player. Luc definitely enjoys the perks that go along with his job, and likes to party and is a bit of player when it comes to the ladies.
Stephanie Frazier is an interesting character. She is very stubborn, and independent that at times can be quite frustrating, and she has a tendency to come across as being quite cold. She's so used to being alone, that she actually shies away from any form of close friendship or commitment, to protect her heart.
Whilst the story line is not that unique, this story is still incredibly entertaining and engaging. The chemistry between this pair is downright combustible, and their banter is fun and full of flirtation and dirty talk.
I will be eagerly anticipating Van's story next as he has definitely piqued my interest with what we have seen throughout this title.

Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released multiple books, many of which have appeared on the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.
Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active daughter, as well as full-time servant to her adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or even better, both.
Sawyer also writes general and women’s fiction under the pen name S. Bennett and sweet romance under the name Juliette Poe.
