Steele by Sawyer Bennett
A second chance may be just what James Steele needs…
I might be one of the older players on the Arizona Vengeance, but I like to think that also makes me one of the wisest. Or at least I used to.
Turns out, I’ve been a bit selfish. I’ve been married to hockey and my team for years, which hasn’t left much time for my actual wife, Ella. Now I’m juggling a separation I never wanted, the pressure of being a single dad to our teenage daughter, and the career I sacrificed it all for.
While my game on the ice might be on fire, the game in my personal life is clearly lacking, as evidenced by the fact I just saw my wife on a date with another man. If I have any hope of saving the family I love, I need to re-prioritize, and fast. So it’s time for me to get back to fundamentals, just like I did when I learned how to play hockey. I’ve never backed down from a challenge, and romancing my wife is a challenge I am very much looking forward to.
Time to put on my game face, because I’m in it to win it.
This is an interesting plot as our hero James Steele is doing everything he can to win BACK his wife. It illustrates that relationships take work and nurturing. Seeing an already established couple work to get back to their HEA was heartwarming. James pulled out all the stops. Not only does he have to win his wife back, but his teenage daughter as well. This a great holiday read that provides many, many sweet loving moments. This is a standalone novel in the Arizona Vengeance series that can be read alone.
