Release Blitz for Baden (Pittsburg Titans #1) by Sawyer Bennett w/ Review

Baden (Pittsburgh Titans, Book 1) Sawyer Bennett

Release Date: January 11, 2022

Synopsis:

After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor ordered.

I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all. Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again. When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love.

While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued. Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone. Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by simply being there.

Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another. As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our broken pieces become one. But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the pain of our past prove too much to overcome?

***5 Stars***

I was crossing my toes that Baden would get his own book, even before what happened to him.

After, well, I was definitely all in and, once again, crossing my toes that the woman he saved would be his HEA, though it may not happen considering all the factors working against them.

But then the Pittsburg Titans series was announced ~ in the best, yet most heartbreaking way ~ and I have to say. This book does not disappoint at all. I was all in from start to finish and am already interested in many of the characters ~ as well as one I want to full on Gibbs smack.

As for Baden and Sophie. I adored these two. Baden is a good, patient, determined guy and I loved watching him find his feet as a coach and settling into a new life. Sophie is a sweetheart. She’s still reeling from what happened that horrible night, but is working on combating her fears and taking her life back.

Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun to watch as they became friends and more. Yes, that night was the start of their connection, but watching them become closer and being each others sounding boards, helping to make them stronger and see beyond their own noses had me believing that they could be so much more and I loved how everything worked out for them in the end.

This was a great start to a new series within the author's hockey world. The situation that the organization finds themselves in is heartbreaking, but I’m looking forward to seeing how they get through it. It was fun to get to hang out with the Vengeance crew, but I’m definitely all in with the newbies and cannot wait to get to know them all better, even the one I’m not a big fan of. So, bring on Stone’s book!
