“Finding out he was cheating almost felt like relief. Like I finally had an excuse strong enough to leave without the guilt.”
A wave of shame burns through me, but Reid squeezes my hand, warm and steady. “You have nothing to be ashamed of. You were surviving.”
“You’re free now, Lara.”
I nod, breathing through the tightness in my chest.
A small smile plays on his lips. “Remember when survival was just trying not to get dunked off a surfboard?”
I snort. “Or trying not to get caught when we snuck in after curfew.”
“Pretty sure our parents knew,” he says, mock serious.
“Yeah, we weren’t that sneaky,” I reply, grinning.
We lapse into easy laughter, the tension finally breaking, and for a moment, it’s like we’re fifteen again, sprawled on the beach after hours in the waves, the world no bigger than the stretch of coastline between our houses.
The moment fades into a warm, quiet hush. I glance over and find him watching me—his expression relaxed but his eyes carrying something deeper.
Not just fondness. Memory.
Maybe even regret.
My heart stutters, just once, because I know this feeling. The way the air stills between two people who know there’s more under the surface. We’ve been circling it all day. All night. And now, it’s right there. Unspoken and waiting.
“Earlier… you said Lance accused you of being pissed that he got me and you didn’t.”
Reid’s expression tightens, just for a moment.
“Was he right?” I ask softly. “Were you pissed?”
He gives a small huff of amusement and looks away for a beat, rubbing the back of his neck. “I mean… maybe after that first kiss when we were fifteen, yeah—I was a little pissed.”
I blink. “Pissed… that Lance interrupted?”
“Pissed that I listened to him,” Reid says, voice lower now. “That I let him make me think wanting you was wrong. Like we were just supposed to be some kind of trio forever and I wasn’t allowed to see you differently.” He glances over at me, his gaze steady. “That kiss wasn’t nothing to me, Lara. It never was.”

Penn (Book #17 Pittsburgh Titans) by Sawyer Bennett
🔥 Tragic Past
❤️Friends to Lovers
🔥 Tortured Hero
❤️2 POV
🔥 Forbidden Romance
❤️Romantic Suspense
🔥 Forced Proximity
When the one woman Penn Navarro never expected to see resurfaces he will discover that trust is paramount if they are going to survive the threats.
Not everything stays in the past and it’s time to uncover the source before they make good on their promise.
Fans of Sawyer Bennett it’s time to rejoice in this crossover read a fusion from her Jameson Force series.
I love the plot arc that brings us into her security force detective world and was the first hockey suspense I’ve read.
Penn and Mila will need protection if they are to get out of this unharmed. What will happen when old feelings resurface and they are forced to be near each other to stay safe?
It’s time to hatch a plan that will expose the threat and resolve once and for all…can they deny how they feel now that they are older and wiser?
It will take trust to work through the past again.
Another great read from Sawyer Bennett in her world of hockey. While this is Book 17 in the series each and every one can be read as a standalone. However, with all the interconnected characters each one is not to be missed!
Love audio books? Penn is narrated by @akalucyrivers & @seanmastersaudio – perfectly cast and I enjoyed listening to the story.
Thank you @theauthor.agency for the advance reader copy and audiobook for an honest and fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This Spicy read has exploration that is more explicit between characters that may include dirty talk, detailed intimate moments, or suggested desire of what they would like to do with their partner. This moment might also be expressed before, during, or after intimacy, spicy e-mails, letters, or texting. Readers can expect multiple detailed scenes or moments that leave no doubt there is a medium level of heat with off-and-on-the-ice hockey fun.
I can’t wait to read book #18 𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘆 🍀🔥

Rafferty by Sawyer Bennett is the fifteenth installment in the Pittsburgh Titans series. While each book can be read as a standalone I challenge you to try and just read one.
Rafferty Abrams is the newest Titan in town. One decision will threaten to ruin his future unless he can find a way to stop the madness sooner than later.
Tempe Martin has returned home from college to help her family. What will happen when a stranger walks up to her at work and asks for a favor? Will she go along with his request?
I love this series and each book gets better and better. If you are looking for a spicy hockey romance read with off and on the ice action, plenty of interconnected characters that leave readers satisfied for days, and audio narrators that leave me craving more books to listen to.
The audiobook is narrated by Aaron Shedlock @aaronshedlock and Mackenzie Cartwright @xoxomackenziec and they are fantastic! If you enjoy listening while multitasking…consider headphones for Chapters 11, 14, 19, and 24 – 🔥!

Formula Fling @sawyerbennett123 is the first book in her Race Fever series.
Off & on the track spicy racing romance. ☕🔥🔥🔥
The exploration is more explicit between characters that may include dirty talk, detailed intimate moments, or suggested desire of what they would like to do with their partner. This moment might also be expressed before, during, or after intimacy, spicy e-mails, letters, or texting.
Readers can expect multiple detailed scenes or moments that leave no doubt there is a medium level of heat.
Romance author Posey Evans devises a plan to research the world of racing for her next book. Will she have enough time to research before everyone finds out her secret?
Lex Hamilton needs to clean up his image and change his attitude. Will the damage control be enough to save his career or will it destroy everything?
When the heat ignites Lex will need to make a choice. Will he continue his bad boy ways or finally find a way to have what he really wants?
While this can be read as a standalone I love the interconnected characters from Sawyer’s world of hockey. The spicy banter, twists, and a few surprises make this the perfect gift for yourself or the booklover in your life.
I loved listening to the audiobook as an extension of reading adding another layer enhancing the full experience with dual narration allowing Lex and Posey leaping off the pages. Narrated by Sean Masters @seanmastersaudio and Kit Swann @kitswannvo they brought to life a world from a beloved author.
Caution headphones on when you approach Chapter 12 – it was 🔥 and I’m addicted to listening while reading. I can’t wait to see who narrates the next Race Fever book.
