Wylde (Arizona Vengeance, Book #7)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: May 12, 2020
There’s a reason they call me Wylde and it’s not just because it’s my last name.
I might be one of the newest players on the Arizona Vengeance team, but I’m no stranger to the celebrity that goes along with being a professional hockey player. Whether it’s a fan seeking an autograph or a puck bunny looking for more, I’ve grown used to the attention. I not only thrive on it; I use it to my advantage. Let’s just say my bed is rarely empty.
When a quirky redhead at the local bookstore stops me dead in my tracks, I decide to pop in and turn on the trusty Wylde magic. As smart and strong-willed as she is beautiful, Clarke Webber isn’t swayed by my witty banter or charming good looks. And when she realizes who I am and the fame that comes along with it, she likes me even less. Thankfully, I’m always up for a challenge. The more I get to know about her, the more I know my playboy days are behind me.
If I’m going to capture Clarke’s heart, it’s time to be a lot less Wylde, and a lot more Aaron.
Wylde is the 7th installment of the Arizona Vengeance series and follows Aaron Wylde. Aaron is confident in his ability to make women swoon but being a hockey player and well known means he doesn't have to work hard to get a woman's attention. Until he sets his sights on Clarke Webber and she seems resistant to his cocky smile.
I loved that Clarke made Aaron work for her attention and didn't care that he was famous. She actually liked him in spite of that. Seeing Aaron out of his element and having to actually try to get Clarke to like him instead of her just falling at his feet like every other woman was the best part of them. It made their connection that much better and made the story so fun to read.
This book can be read as a standalone with no problem but has maybe a few spoilers from some of the previous stories. Being the 7th in a series made it a little difficult for me not to compare it to the other books and that's the main reason for my 3 Star rating. Going into it I was expecting a story as exciting as the others but instead this was a sweet and cute story. While good, I did want a little more to keep my attention and keep me invested in Aaron and Clarke.
