Release Blitz for Riggs (Arizona Vengeance #11) by Sawyer Bennett w/ Review

Riggs (Arizona Vengeance, Book #11) Sawyer Bennett

Release Date: October 26, 2021

***5 Stars***

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Riggs book, because like Tacker, I found his less than social nature intriguing and needed to know why. And I must say, while heartbreaking and a bit horrifying on a certain level, finding out the reasons why and watching as he, along with Janelle and Veronica, became more to each other and broke walls down, was all kinds of goodness.

As much as I loved, and ended up adoring Riggs, I seriously wanted to Gibbs smack the man ~ thankfully he had a few people already in his life to do that. But he is all kinds of protective, a bit untrusting and a bit reactive, but still a really good man. I ADORED Veronica from the start. Sweet, snarky, observant and owning all that she’d done, who she was and determined to make the rest of her life her own.

Their journey to their HEA was a fun one, frustrating at times, but fun and, crazily enough, honest. Both Riggs and Veronica have quite a bit of baggage they are holding on to and they need time to work through it all, which they do, and before they know it, they catch feelings and that’s when things get interesting. I loved their flow, the chemistry between them was intense and I loved how Janelle was the hinge that brought them together and, in the end, I was very happy with where they ended up.

And then there is Janelle. She not only play a huge part in Riggs and Veronica’s journey, but had one of her own and I really enjoyed watching her become comfortable in her own skin and start to find her voice.

This was a great addition to the series. There are some triggers in here, so reader beware, but they are necessary to the growth of all the characters. And speaking of characters. I loved catching up with various members of the Vengeance crew and their women (at least those who have them). But Baden totally stole the show and considering what happens at the end of this one and then the epilogue, I need his book, like, yesterday!

Synopsis:

Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world.

As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life. On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen-year-old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it. They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to. In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke’s Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It’s there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money-hungry divorcee who I don’t want anywhere near my sister. Janelle insists I’m completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding myself that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits. Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she really is—an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger. I have to admit, we’re more alike than not and the attraction between us burns hot. Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?
