ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 18,2025

Francesca Accardi is rewriting the record books at Titans Racing. With the first female team owner in her corner and the weight of history on her shoulders, she knows the only way to silence doubters is to win. Every lap. Every race.

Ronan Barnes dominates on Sunday and dares the world to judge him on Monday. Arrogant, electric, relentless, he has no time for niceties—or for the rookie who refuses to yield. Forced together for press tours and charity laps, their sniping becomes a spark neither can shake. But rival teams don’t tolerate distractions, sponsors spook fast, and one misstep could cost Francesca her seat and Ronan his shot at the championship.

When Ronan’s private life—and his mother’s addiction—become an issue he can no longer avoid, Francesca is there as his emotional support. Compassion cracks his armor. He defends her in the paddock; she stands beside him when it matters. Enemies become allies. Allies become something no rule book can define.

With a title on the line, they must choose: her hard-won seat, his crown, or a future together—if they dare cross the line.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 72, 205

Matteo “Lucky” Branson has it all—an elite hockey career, a massive fanbase, and the kind of charm that trends effortlessly on TikTok. As the fun-loving left winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, he’s built a brand on superstition and swagger. But when a viral dating challenge puts him opposite a woman who couldn’t care less about his fame, Lucky’s about to learn the hard way that some games don’t follow the playbook.

They call me Lucky for a reason. My grandmother swears I was cursed at birth—yet somehow, I’ve been kissed by fate every day since. I’ve got my rabbit’s foot, a shamrock tattoo, and quirky rituals by the dozen—and it’s all worked so far. Life’s been smooth. Hockey, clout, fun… I’m skating through.

Until I meet Winifred Shaw. Winnie. She’s smart, bold, and laugh-out-loud funny, with a TikTok following that rivals mine and a dating challenge that’s going viral. The premise? Thirty days of dating to prove an average woman can still land a decent guy. I’m the first to accept the challenge—one night, one chance, and then she moves on. But the moment she rolls her eyes at me, I’m hooked.

She thinks I’m just another overhyped athlete with a pretty face and a lucky streak. But I see her—confident, curvy, electric—and I don’t just want a second date. I want every single one after that.

I’ve always trusted luck to get me where I need to be. But this time? I’m ready to fight for it.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 26, 2025

Reid Hemsworth is still a relatively new face in the racing world but hasn’t wasted any time making a name for himself. No stranger to standing on the podium, Reid’s success isn’t all champagne showers and post-race parties. He may be considered a rising star in the sport, but to his brother, Lance, Reid stole his chance at racing glory and that can never be forgiven.

Lara Candlish grew up with the Hemsworth brothers, the three of them wasting away the hours of their youth riding waves together in the Australian surf. But as they got older and Reid’s career started to take off, their trio splintered under the weight of Lance’s jealousy. In the end, one brother had the career and one got the girl, but they both wanted what the other had.

When Lara finds herself trapped in an increasingly volatile relationship, she turns to the one man she knows she can trust above anyone else—Reid. Harboring deep feelings for much of his life, Reid doesn’t hesitate to bring Lara into his inner circle to provide her with the safety that she needs, no matter how much that might infuriate his brother. Their forced proximity quickly uncovers feelings he thought he’d left behind and Reid is prepared to act on them. But when his brother finds out that Reid now has the career and the girl, the situation goes from bad to worse.

As the relationship between Reid and Lara intensifies, so does the danger, and one truth becomes abundantly clear. Reid will stop at nothing to protect the one thing he now knows he can never live without—Lara.

Penn (Pittsburgh Titans 17) by Sawyer Bennett-review tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 15, 2025

Penn Navarro is the best player in the league—unstoppable on the ice, untouchable off it. But the moment the game ends, so do the celebrations. Because no amount of goals, no number of wins, can silence the demons that haunt him.

Hockey is my life. It’s what I was born to do. That’s not ego talking, just fact—I’ve spent years honing my skills, earning my place among the elite. But talent doesn’t erase my mistakes, and no amount of success will make me forget the damage I’ve done. It’s why I keep my distance from my teammates, because if you never let anyone in, you’ll never get hurt. Or those are the lies that I tell myself.

Mila Brennan represents the darkest parts of my history. She’s a ghost I’ve tried to bury, the reminder of everything I’ve lost. When she shows up in Pittsburgh looking for me, I know nothing good will come of it, because our sins don’t stay forgotten. They fester, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and Mila’s arrival means my time is up.

The past isn’t just knocking at my door—it’s kicking it down, crumbling all the walls I’ve built around myself in the process. And when the danger comes for us both, I’m forced to do the one thing I swore I never would. Let her in.

••••••

REVIEW: PENN is the seventeenth Instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult PITTSBURGH TITANS erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the Pittsburgh Titans professional hockey team. This is twenty-seven year olds, romance cover designer Mila Brennan, and professional hockey player Penn Navarro’s story line. PENN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but his story has been building for the past few instalments. For fans of Sawyer Bennett, there is a cross over with the author’s Jameson Force Security series.

SOME BACKGROUND: A couple of years earlier, a devastating plane crashed claimed all but three members of the Pittsburgh Titans hockey team including owners, coaches and staff. Rebuilding the team, owner Brienne Norcross, offered positions to one-time professional and semi-pro players. These are their stories.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Penn and Mila) PENN follows in the wake of a series of threats against our story line heroine. Approximately ten years earlier, Penn and Mila’s life imploded, sending each in a different direction. Penn played minor league hockey with Mila’s brother Peter but a series of ill-planned pursuits destroyed the lives of everyone involved. Fast forward to present day, Mila is receiving increasingly violent threats against her life, and the only person she thinks that can help, is a man who despises the proverbial ground upon which she walks. Penn Navarro has lived a life secluded from everyone, fearing his demons will seek revenge for sins of the past but when the past resurfaces, Penn has no choice but to help the woman with whom he will fall in love.

The world building focuses on the need to protect our story line heroine. Desperate enough to approach the man who is struggling in the wake of secrets and lies, Mila knows that it is only a matter of time before the threats become a reality, and there will be no one left to care.

The relationship between Mila and Penn is acrimonious at best. Penn struggles with what happened and why, as Mila’s life imploded leaving her a shell of her former self. Lives were ruined, and our couple were blamed, but the blame had been placed on the targets. As Penn and Mila were forced together in an effort for protect our story line heroine, Penn quickly realizes there is more to Mila than the secrets from the part. The $ex scenes are provocative and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there Is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Pittsburgh Titans including the introduction of newcomer Matteo ‘Lucky’ Branson; a number of security specialists from Jameson Force Security including owner Kynan McGrath; Pittsburgh Titans’ team owner Brienne Norcross, and general manager Callum Derringer.

PENN is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, dysfunctional family theatrics, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are energetic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 3, 2025

Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were just Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of Tipperary County.

Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.

Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had Tommy Blackburn’s parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But Tommy’s wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldn’t help but pursue the beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.

Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you can’t get to the present without The Past.

North (Pittsburgh Titans 16) by Sawyer Bennett-review

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 22, 2025

New to the Pittsburgh Titans but no stranger to relentless ambition, North Paquette knows exactly how to put in the work to ensure the win. But this time, the stakes are personal because the game isn’t just on the ice.

Life as a member of the Pittsburgh Titans is pretty freaking fantastic. I live in one of the best cities around, get paid to play the game I love and enjoy all the perks of being a professional hockey player. While many of those perks are because of who I am, one in particular is because of who I know.

Farren Abrams wasn’t on my radar until she came to town to visit her brother Rafferty. She’s smart, sarcastic, sexy as hell and can talk hockey like a pro. So when a night out with the team became a drunken hookup with Farren, there were zero complaints from yours truly. We had our fun and then she went back home—no harm, no foul. Now she’s moved to Pittsburgh permanently and while she’s still looking for some fun, I’m starting to look for more.

The more time I spend with Farren the more I like her, but to say she’s relationship averse is an understatement. Something in her past has caused her to head for the hills whenever someone gets too close, but she shuts down whenever I push for details. When she rejects my attempts to take this thing to the next level, I’m forced to seek help from none other than Rafferty, who has no idea I’m banging his little sister. With his assistance, I set out to do the one thing none of those chumps in Farren’s past have taken the time to do—help her face her demons and give her something worth staying for.

•••••

REVIEW: NORTH is the sixteenth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult PITTSBURGH TITANS erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the Pittsburgh Titans professional hockey team. This is twenty-six year old, North Paquette and twenty-four year old Farren Abrams’ story line. NORTH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary

NOTE: Some of the events of NORTH cross over with, and run parallel to the events of books fifteen RAFFERTY. Farren is the sister of Rafferty Abrams.

SOME BACKGROUND: A couple of years earlier, a devastating plane crashed claimed all but three members of the Pittsburgh Titans hockey team including owners, coaches and staff. Rebuilding the team, owner Brienne Norcross, offered positions to one-time professional and semi-pro players. These are their stories.

Told from dual first person perspectives (North and Farren) NORTH follows in the wake of the sudden appearance of Farren Abrams at her brother’s front door. Farren is currently homeless, jobless and looking for a temporary change of direction, and her friends with benefits relationship with North Paquette is the perfect foil to push away the demons from her past. North Paquette is determined to prove to Farren what they have is so much more than an ongoing series of one-night stands but Farren struggles to trust, including the man with whom she is falling in love.

The world building follows several paths including Farren’s need to run at the first sign of something more serious. No one knows what happened in the past, and our heroine is hoping to keep her secrets close to her heart. Meanwhile North’s teammate and star hockey player Penn Navarro is slowly spiralling out of control, and when his past returns, the team is struggling to help a man who is unwilling to accept the hep given.

The relationship between North and Farren begins as a friends with benefits, but Farren wants to keep their relationship a secret, a secret in which North is struggling to go along. North suspects Farren’s brother Rafferty will not like the direction of his sister’s romance but Farren refuses to commit to anything more serious in light on the demon’s that refuse to let go. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is another large ensemble cast of familiar, determined and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including Farren’s brother Rafferty, several teammates including Atlas, King, Foster, Penn Navarro, team manager Callum Derringer, as well as Farren and Rafferty’s parents.

NORTH is a story of secrets and lies, humiliation and betrayal, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is edgy and tense; the characters ad animated and desperate; the romance is seductive and spicy.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 11, 2025

Nash Sinclair abandoned the world of formula racing after a deadly crash left him injured and on a long road to recovery, both physically and mentally. Even prior to the crash Nash was healing in another way, putting together the pieces of a broken heart. They say time heals all wounds and when Brienne Norcross, owner of the newly acquired Titans Racing team approaches him about a job, he decides it might just be time to reclaim the life he once loved.

Bexley Toliver just joined the Titans’ team as their chief race strategy engineer. As a woman working in a male-centric sport, Bex is no stranger to a man’s eyes on her. Whether it’s in silent awe, not-so-silent disgust, or somewhere in between, Bexley has earned her way. But there is one set of eyes that Bex hasn’t seen in years and when Nash Sinclair walks into the conference room for a team meeting, old memories are hard to ignore. As the heat between them becomes all-consuming, they are unable to resist the temptation to fall once again.

Bex and Nash’s history is…complicated. Young love that turned into the promise of forever crashed and burned long before the race that ended Nash’s career. Years apart dulled the pain of their failed union but some things aren’t meant to be forgotten, no matter how hard one tries. When the same issues that broke them apart re-emerge and spin them full-speed toward a barricade, Bex and Nash need to make a decision—hit the brakes and walk away or race forward to their happily ever after.

Three years earlier, Nash Sinclair and Bexley Toliver were engaged to be married but each of their careers went on a different trajectory, and Nash’s off course antics pushed Bexley out of his life but a racing accident nearly ended Nash’s career, and in the interim, Nash switched teams and cars, and was on the rise, once again. An offer from new team owner Brienne Norcross brought Nash back into the F1 family, and face to face with the woman who broke his heart. Bexley Toliver is Titans Racing’s new chief strategy engineer, and is about to face the reality of women in sports but discovering Titans Racing newest driver is the man she once loved places Brienne in the crosshairs of her misogynistic teammates, and betrayal may come at the cost of her job.

The world building focuses on a woman’s struggle to prove her worth in a male-dominated sport; the rekindling romance between Bexley and Nash, and Nash’s battle to move on from the demons of his past.

The relationship between Bexley and Nash is one of second chances but both are still hurt and in pain from perceived betrayal. Nash is determined to prove he is worthy of a second chance, but Bexley’s struggle as a woman in a male dominated sport is proving harder than she could have ever imagined. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and dynamic, yet some are questionable and contemptable. We are introduced to several members of the Titans Racing Team, as well as the return of team owner Brienne Norcross.

FORMULA CHANCE is a story of power and control, misogyny and discrimination, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated and spicy; the characters are determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 14, 2025

Rafferty Abrams has been having the time of his life since joining the Pittsburgh Titans, but a poorly thought out one-night stand is about to cause unwanted drama with potentially serious repercussions.

As a member of the Pittsburgh Titans, I’m afforded a certain level of leniency in my behavior. The perks of being a celebrity, I suppose. But a run-in with my “one-night stand turned borderline stalker” has me crossing all sorts of lines with a beautiful but unsuspecting grocery store employee. When I surprise the complete stranger with a giant kiss and quiet plea to help a guy out, she not only plays along but gets my blood racing like I’ve never experienced before. Score one for Rafferty Abrams.

Temperence Martin isn’t just the stunning girl in the international foods aisle. Tempe is also a devoted daughter taking a break from college to help her mother as she heals from a serious accident. That includes making sure her younger brother stays on track with school and keeping everything running at home. To say she’s burning the candle at both ends is an understatement, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t see the spark in her eyes after our spontaneous make out session. That’s exactly what has me coming back for more, even if I use that pesky stalker as my excuse.

As we get to know one another, I realize a fake relationship just isn’t going to work. I want something other than a ruse, something real, and lucky for me, so does Tempe. But when my mistake of a hookup starts telling lies in retaliation for my alleged betrayal, things get messy. For me and for Tempe, who has found herself embroiled in a love triangle that doesn’t even exist. I can only hope Tempe isn’t scared away by the baggage I unintentionally brought to our relationship because the truth is, I saw my happily ever after with her the first time our lips met.

REVIEW: RAFFERTY is the fifteenth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult PITTSBURGH TITANS erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the Pittsburgh Titans professional hockey team. This is Rafferty Abrams, and Temperence ‘Tempe’ Martin’s story line. RAFFERTY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but Rafferty’s story has been building throughout.

SOME BACKGROUND: A couple of years earlier, a devastating plane crashed claimed all but three members of the Pittsburgh Titans hockey team including owners, coaches and staff. Rebuilding the team, owner Brienne Norcross, offered positions to one-time professional and semi-pro players. These are their stories.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rafferty and Tempe) RAFFERTY follows the building but originally fake relationship between our story line couple. Several weeks earlier, Rafferty had a one-night stand who now refuses to take no for an answer. Hoping to dissuade said stalker, Rafferty surprises a stranger at the local grocery store, and offers up a fake relationship until the stalker relents. Enter Temperence ‘Tempe’ Martin, the woman with whom Rafferty will fall in love. As Rafferty and Tempe’s relationship quickly turns into something more, threats from Rafferty’s stalker become all too real, taking aim at his career, his livelihood and the team for which he plays.

The world building focuses on the building relationship between our story line couple, and Rafferty’s struggle to shake a woman who refuses to back down. From the outset, Rafferty’s predicament could have been stopped but our heroine refuses to cross the line until it is too late.

The relationship between Rafferty and Tempe begins as a fake relationship in which Tempe is willing to play along. With several of his teammates aware of the stalker, and of his relationship with Tempe, Rafferty begins to fall for the woman that calls to his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Rafferty’s teammates, head office and team owners. We are introduced to Tempe’s brother Cooper, their mother Natalie, as well as Rafferty’s sister Farren.

RAFFERTY is a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, power and control, love and acceptance. The premise is dramatic, entertaining and captivating; the romance is seductive and impassioned; the characters are desperate and determined.
