Just ok

Okay story but didn’t live up to hype. Wanted more into betting scandal, more into drake ex wife. Just turned into story of hookup turned relationship.

Just ok

Going into the story, I thought there would be a lot more substance. There was hardly anything that had to do with the drakes wife, and practically nothing about his scandal. This series was supposed to give a lot more substance, and have more story to it but so far it seems to be the same thing that Sawyer Bennett always does. The couple meets and they end up getting into a friends with benefits type situation and they both catch feelings for each other but don’t wanna say anything. It is the same thing over and over and over again and I am begging this author to try a different storyline. All of the other Things that she tries to add to the stories have just proven to be window dressing and background noise for the same story over and over again. To be honest, I thought the Arizona vengeance series had more substance than this one has proven to have so far. This entire series has been middle of the road at best.

Steamy, fun and emotional

I think this might be the spiciest book in the “Pittsburgh Titans” series and I’m all about it! “Drake” is a steamy, fun, and emotional installment in the series that pulled me in with Drake’s grumpiness and kept me there with the undeniable connection between Drake and Brienne.

After leaving the NHL when his ex-wife tried to end his career with lies, Drake McGinn is dead set against returning. But when the new owner of the Titans, Brienne Norcross, comes knocking and offers him a chance to take back his goalie career. Drake agrees but is still angry with how everything went down. But there is something more that is brewing underneath for the goalie and the owner of the team.

My oh my, I loved the tension and chemistry between Drake and Brienne. I could feel it as I listened and I could not stop once I started. Drake is a grumpy delight and I loved his confidence in who he was a player and a father. His bond with his three young sons was so sweet and one of my favorite things about him. Brienne was an instant favorite. She’s smart, independent and isn’t afraid to go after what she wants. She took the team over after her brother, who was the owner, died in the plane crash. I loved how she was able to build a team from the ashes and make the city and the players believe in the team again. The chemistry was off the charts hot and I loved all the stolen moments they got throughout the story.

Aiden Snow and Maxine Mitchell were so good as Drake and Brienne. Aiden brought out Drake’s grumpiness and vulnerability perfectly. I’m always happy to listen to a growly Aiden. Maxine will always be one of my favorites and I loved her as Brienne. All of Brienne’s confidence rang through with Maxine’s performance.

❤️❤️Drake and Brienne❤️❤️

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every book in Bennett’s hockey series so far, and I was so excited for Drake to release! Bennett doesn’t disappointed!!! Broody, sexy Drake, a single dad who’s been jaded by lies told by his ex-wife and how the professional hockey league abandoned him, is persuaded to give professional hockey another try by team owner, Brienne.

Drake and Brienne’s s story occurs post-plane crash where all but 3 players from the Pittsburgh Titans were killed. Brienne is determined to get Drake to reconsider her offer to join the Titan’s as their goalie, after she’d botched the offer she made the previous year. As the Titans coaches, management, and players work to rebuild their team, a new family within the Pittsburgh Titans world is rebuilding, Drake and Brienne begin a fling, and as the story progresses they become so much more, Each brings baggage into their burgeoning relationship.

Drake isn’t overly angsty, but neither is it light-hearted. Bennett’s created realistic characters who strive to build more out of their lives, in spite of the tragedies and difficulties life’s dealt them, Both Drake and Brienne were very likable characters. The story held my interest from the Audible intro all the way until the very last word. Although there’s not a typical epilogue, the last chapter does give listeners a glimpse into the life Drake and Brienne are building and what their HEA is becoming.

With Aiden Snow performing Drake…swoon…and Maxine Mitchell as Brienne, this was an audiobook lover’s dream! I highly recommend Drake, and all titles in Bennett’s hockey series. As all of the hockey series are interconnected, I recommend you read them in order. Begin with Alex, the first in SB’s 11 book Cold Fury series. The Arizona Vengeance series is next, with 12 titles. Finally, the Pittsburgh Titans series has 5 titles published to date, with 2 more scheduled to release this year. You’ll be glad you did!

Great come back story

I like this story about two broken people getting together. Loss of people and their journey to let someone else in.

enjoyed this book

I have the first 2 books on this series but I haven’t read/listeb to it yet. This book, I was too drawn tonit so I listened to it first and it did not dissappoint. 😊

Powerhouse vs. Powerhouse

Drake’s life was hard and hockey not only was his out but a job he loved. When times were hard in his home and allegations were thrown around from his angry, drug addicted wife, the one thing that he never imagined was his team believing and turning on him. Not only did the league betray him but to him he felt they never understood nor questioned if him and his kids were okay.

Brienne is the true definition of a powerhouse but if she could trade that for her brother she would. Brienne never wanted a lot of things and relationships just wasn’t something she needed in her life at the time. She knew she had her hands full with Drake. Brienne didn’t want to have her heart broken and she also didn’t want to destroy the team she built but Drake was what her heart wanted and needed. He would push her to the limits but that was somewhat of a thrill and something that kept her on her toes. She loved to deal with the snarky, sexy, rude player. She liked giving it back to him just as he gave it.

There are rules she must follow and there are hearts she refuses to break. Can Brienne hold back and not let her heart ruin her team? If she decides to take him on, is she ready for the heartbreak that may follow? Sawyer Bennett knocked this story out of the park and the narrators once again bought the story to life!

Love me some Sawyer Bennet

Great story , well performed and a super hot story line ....I love a second chance at love story..So worth the credit ...

Drake and Brienna

This is book is book 5 in the Pittsburgh Titian's series.
Although you don't need to read the first 5 I highly recommend it. Drake is single father and the new goalie. He has a chip on his shoulder after being let go from his former team and having his name drug through the mud by his ex wife who has a drug problem.
Brienne is the owner of the Titian's and Norcross enterprise. She is trying to rebuild the team after first one dried in crash that also took her brother former owner.
These two have a enemy to lover passion. Opposites attract. They both want no strings attached relationship. But soon it turns into more.
Brienne is powerful fe lame who knows what she wants but doesn't always take time to slow enjoy life. She is feeling her way throw making friends and allowing Drake in even if she didn't want to. Drake is also trying to juggle parenting, hockey and a lover. He also doesn't know if he wants to fall but sometimes you don't get a chance.
This story is written very well and has a HEA. I loved reading it and listening to it on Audible. Can not wait for next book in this series.

This is was the best so far!

This one really touched my heart while frustrating me at the same time. Smiles, laughs, and tears.
