Tacker

 

Tacker (Arizona Vengeance, Book #5)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: November 5, 2019



I am not okay. 

Fifteen months ago, my life was turned upside down when the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancée die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head. 

Since that day, I’ve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. Because that is the one place where the bad memories are banished and I can escape my pain. 

But off the ice, I’m spiraling out of control. Losing the grip on my life and putting myself and my career in danger. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, I’ve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team. 

The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist. I can’t buy into the brand of happy clappy crap this woman is feeding me. What could she possibly understand about the type of loss that I’ve suffered? How does she know anything about finding happiness after losing the most important person in your life? 

Turns out, I’ve got a lot to learn, and she’s just the person I need to break through those walls I’ve erected. 

I am not okay. 
But for the first time in a long time, I know that I will be.

Tacker brought all the feels to this series and I absolutely adored it. Tacker Hall is having a hard time dealing with the pain of losing his fiance in a plane crash. A plane that he was piloting and was then stuck in while his fiance died next to him. When his grief gets too out of control he's sent to therapy in the hopes that he'll learn how to cope and be able to love hockey again. And with the help of his therapist, Nora Wayne, he may even learn to love more than the game.

Tacker's pain was so heartbreaking to see in the previous books and it also made him a bit of a mystery since it was hard to tell what was under all of that grief. So I was really excited to get my hands on this story and finally meet the Tacker that wasn't overcome by his sadness and determined to push people away. Well let me just say, it was well worth the wait and I loved him.

He and Nora's relationship was slow moving and didn't actually develop into something more until later in the book than I usually like. But it worked for them and made sense to their story so I enjoyed that we got to see Nora helping and befriending Tacker before there was more of a romance. They also had almost no angsty moments and I appreciated that there wasn't any drama coming between them and hurting all the progress that Tacker had made in moving on. That's not to say that they didn't have a very enjoyable romance though. I loved them together and Nora was an amazing and likable heroine.

Overall, this is a must read and I definitely recommend it. Tacker has been in the previous books but you can read this one as a standalone with no problem.
