Lucas (Cold Fury, Book #8)
Sawyer Bennett Release Date: September 19, 2017
The Carolina Cold Fury hockey team is stacked with hotshots. But when a new player joins their ranks, he learns that even superstars can’t go it alone when it comes to love.
Lucas Fournier is only serious about one thing: hockey. The league’s fun-loving charmer, Luc is always up for a good prank or a great lay, and he has no intention of settling down. But being traded to the Carolina Cold Fury—and to play alongside his big brother, Max—is no joke. With another title in sight, the last thing Luc wants is to let his new teammates down. To succeed, Luc will need to keep his head in the game and the most . . . er, demanding member of his anatomy in check. But when temptation hits, Luc hits back harder.
Museum curator Stephanie Frazier has always put business before pleasure, which just about explains her nonexistent sex life. But when Stephanie meets Luc at a champagne-fueled gala, she finds herself flirting like crazy—and going home with the uninhibited athlete. For one night, she learns what passion is all about. She just never counted on the little surprise Luc leaves behind. And that’s when things really start to get . . . interesting.
Sawyer Bennett’s New York Times bestselling Carolina Cold Fury series can be read together or separately.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
These Cold Fury guys just keep getting better and better. *sigh* I loved Max Fournier and when I found out that his brother was getting a book, that made me very happy. Luc is now playing for the Cold Fury and life is great. One night, while at a charity event, Luc meets Stephanie. Turns out she works at the museum where the event is taking place and she makes quite an impression. They go home together, have an amazing night, but don't see each other again until Stephanie tracks him down to tell him she is pregnant.
Luc is initially shocked and a bit skeptical, but it doesn't take him long to get on board with the whole baby thing. And OMG...talk about making a reader swoon. Luc must have taken some lessons from his brother because that dude knows how to woo a lady. Unfortunately for him, Stephanie is wary about letting him into her life. Not because she doesn't want a father for her baby, but because she doesn't want to "catch feelings" for Luc. Her less than ideal upbringing has given her a weird definitely of what love is and she just knows that he will change that. And she's not ready. So of course their relationship has it's bumps along the way and I absolutely loved that Luc was the driving force behind making it all work.
This book is a great addition to the series. There are so many sweet moments between Luc and Stephanie, but there are also some sexy ones that will have you make you need a cold shower! Of course we get to see Max and Julianne as well as some of the guys and ladies from the previous books. I love that we get glimpses into how everyone is doing. AND this book introduces the characters of the next book in a big way! It's about Luc and Max's sister Simone and their teammate Van. Van is one of those super hot cranky guys and Simone gets under his skin. And apparently his sheets. Bring it on!
