Are you ready for Kane Bellan’s story?

I have a problem.

Potential problem?

I’m not really sure. Here’s the deal.

There’s this girl—isn’t that how it always starts?—and her name is Mollie. I like her. I mean really like her. I hope that doesn’t make me seem less manly than my professional hockey player persona implies. But here’s the issue—she’s my best friend. The one person I can count on for everything, who’s been there with me for all the moments, big and small.

When Mollie shows up at my door, travel weary and scared following an incident with an ex, my instinct to protect her goes into overdrive. It’s then that I know she’s more than just my best friend and the skates are swept out from under me when I find out she feels the same way.

Our transition from friends to lovers to potentially something more is seamless, the Arizona Vengeance is back on the ice looking for a repeat championship, and my life has never been better. Just when I think I’ve got it all figured out, the realities of us both having careers which keep us on the road put our blossoming relationship on ice.

It feels like the game just went into overtime and I’m on the verge of either the biggest win or most disappointing loss of my life. And losing is never an option.

REVIEW:KANE is the eighth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult ARIZONA VENGEANCE erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the members of the Arizona Vengeance professional hockey team. This is player Kane Bellan, and travel blogger Mollie Callister’s story line. KANE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: For fans of Sawyer Bennett, there is a slight cross over with the author’s Jameson Security Force series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Mollie and Kane) KANE follows the best friends to lovers relationship between travel blogger Mollie Callister and professional hockey player Kane Bellan. Best friends since college, Mollie and Kane’s relationship had only ever crossed the line once but once was enough for our story line hero but when Mollie shows up unannounced at Kane’s door, Kane knows something is wrong and thinks of the worst. Always on the go, never one to settle down, Mollie is looking for some down time, time to reflect about her future and more but it is Mollie’s past that is threatening our heroine’s life, and in this, Kane calls in help from Jameson Force Security. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Kane and Mollie, and the potential fall-out as Mollie’s need to travel threatens her relationship with the man that she loves.

Mollie Callister has spent most of her adult life on the road but an attack by someone she once trusted threatens Mollie’s sense of security, a security she knows she has with Kane Bellan. Kane has been in love with his best friend since college but never acted on his attraction knowing Mollie never felt the same but with Mollie under the same roof, Kane takes their relationship to the next level, a level he is hoping to include marriage and more. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Most of the previous story line couples play secondary and supporting characters, some by way of mention only. We are introduced to new teammate Riggs Nadeau, and watch from the sidelines as Jim Steele’s marriage is about to implode. Steele’s story line is next.

KANE is a best friends to lovers story line; an impassioned friendship that quickly turns into something more. The premise is captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are numerous, energetic and dynamic.
