5 He's The Love She Was Supposed to Wait For Stars!!!

With every single book in this series I fall in love with the Hero in the book. I have to say though that Reed has eclipsed ALL the other players in my heart. His emotional growth throughout the book is so fabulous. As a Cold Fury Player and Stanley Cup Winner he's absolutely had his fair share, plus some of puck bunnies. And he absolutely has a "type."

Enter Josie his next door neighbor and the furthest thing away from what Reed usually goes after. But one fateful night Josie enters his world when she's trying to get some sleep for her next shift at the hospital; and so begins a very unusual friendship but one that leads to everything both of them thought they'd never find!

As Reed and Josie become closer and closer friends, their chemistry and sexual tension magnifies exponentially. Reed's not sure what to do with these feelings but he knows he wants to explore them further, he just needs to convince Josie it's for more than one night. Oh and they are ON FIRE between the sheets!!!

As their story moved along, their love left me breathless with the swelling of emotions I experienced. I so wanted them to find their HEA and for Reed to realize he's so much more than a player off the ice. Ms. Bennett always delivers a phenomenal story that has me laughing, smiling and swooning and Reed is another perfect example of what a magnificent writer she is!

Reed is the top player for the Cold Fury. He has everything from fame to girls at his disposal. He believes that he’ll live it up during off season but the girls who are typically his type aren’t doing anything for him.

The one who has his attention is his next door neighbour, Joise. She challenges him at every point and he finds that too irresistible. He wants her more than any other girl but he respects her too much to treat her like his one night stands.

He has one chance to make Josie see how seriously he wants her in his life not only as a fuck buddy but as a partner. If he screws it up he might lose his friend too.

I adored this story. It was short, sweet, funny and so damn sexy. I think Josie is one of my favourite Sawyer Bennett heroines. She was so strong and hilarious, I can totally see myself as her bff if she was real. I loved the fact that she knew how to give it back good to Reed and his manwhore ways. I just really freaking adore this girl.

Reed oh my sweet summer child!!! He might have been drowning in barbies but the man knew what Josie was worth. I was actually in awe of how fast he realized his feelings for her and just DAMN HE IS SO PURE AND GOOD. He deserves all the happiness in the World.

I missed these Cold Fury boys and it was so amazing to catch up a little on their lives. I am super pumped for Marek’s story. It is going to be one hell of a ride.

4 Stars!

So, I pretty much devoured this book. I wasn't expecting to finish this book as fast as I did, I managed to spend the whole day reading this book and I don't regret it. This book was really good and I was pretty much hooked from start to end. I loved getting to know these characters and loved that Josie was such a strong and smart women. I loved that shes not the type to hold back, I loved her whole barbie thing that was going on it was pretty funny to see how she thought. I loved getting to know Reeds character and seeing their relationship progress and I couldn't help but root for the two. It was sad seeing Reeds conflicting thoughts and I just loved seeing how well these two characters worked together. This was such a great book I really enjoyed it and recommend you lovely readers to check it out. If you can though check out the previous books in this series, I've been following along this series from book one and can tell you right now your going to want to check this series out!

LOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SERIES!!!!
Reed is the 10th book in the Cold Fury series. Some would think that by book 10 a series might be getting old. NOPE, it is getting BETTER!!!!!!
Reed and Josie….sigh. I love these two. The chemistry between these two practically set my Kindle on fire. I read this book in one sitting, I just could not put it down, I just kept flipping pages until I read the last work. Then I was pissed because I finished it, I wanted it to just go on and on. But that happens when ever I read one of the books in the series. I LOVE the fact that we get to see what some of the previous characters are doing. I guess that is why I love reading this series. I fall for all of the characters and I ALWAYS want to know more. Yeah, I guess I am a stalker in a way….. But da…rn I love these guys.
I discovered this phenomenal series and author thru NetGalley when I read Zack the 3rd book in this series and I have been a fan ever since of both the series and the author.
I was gifted with a copy of this wonderful book for my reading pleasure and it most definitely enjoyed it and I wanted to tell you why.
I helped you make the decision to purchase this wonderful book. Now, what are you waiting for, go hit that one-click button!!!
Thank you for reading my review.

I think this may be my new favorite Cold Fury book. Reed was the manwhore.. or at least one of them and when the book starts nothing really changed other than we can see he really wasn't feeling his manwhore ways. Then he meets his new neighbor and BOOM his world changes and he really doesn't know what to do. It is a great book. I loved it and it has wonderful character growth and not just Reed.

These two have some amazing chemistry and of course, it has some great humor. This book is one to come back to time and again for a good laugh and a great pick me up romance. I loved it. I highly recommend it.

*4.5 stars*

A girl next door romance that made me smile, smile, smile!

You would think by now, after nine book in the series already, that I would be bored of the Cold Fury boys and their shenanigans. NOTHING could be farther from the truth! They are a team, a family, with each story intertwining their lives yet offering something new each and every time. I’ve been waiting for Reed’s story and it was all things adorable… and hot… and fun…

I LOVED how Reed and Josie met! Nothing like a confrontation to get the blood – and the conversation – going. It didn’t play out quite like I would have thought yet this first meeting was hilarious and opened the door for so much goodness to come…

Reed is a self-proclaimed manwhore. He wasn’t ashamed of it and was looking forward to reveling in it all summer long. Enter the girl next door who was going to challenge every thought he had on the opposite sex, and how he viewed them…

“…and as much as I’d like to say we’re just friends, the truth is I don’t want to be just friends with her.”

Their story was romantic and incredibly hot. Turn up the fan, grabby hands all over, HOT! And if that was their focus, all the other stuff – friends stuff –snuck up on them while they were, um, busy. And a sneak attack of the feels as well! It was a slow burn. It was a lovers to friends story to savour.

“Like toe curling, mind blowing, and I’m ruined for any other type of sex.”

If the ending was a bit quiet for me, a bit hidden in the deliciousness of Marek’s story yet to come, Josie and Reed’s romance delivered exactly what I was hoping for – book happiness!

“It’s just… love.”

Marek and Gracen are up next and I can’t wait. CANNOT. WAIT!

Reed is now my favorite player for the Cold Fury and he didn't play a single game in this book. Josie was great as his friend with benefits as well. Mostly very realistic medical aspects helped me to enjoy this book as well. Can't wait for more of them as the series progresses as I'm sure Reed will have an active role in Marek's book.

Working long shifts as an ER doctor, doesn't leave much time for dating or socializing. Upon returning home from a long shift, Josie is rudely awakened by screaming and a headboard banging against the wall. So Josie storms over to her neighbor's where she meets Reed and one of his many "Barbies".

Reed, a player for Cold Fury, has just come off a winning season--nabbing the Stanley Cup. So Reed plans to use the off-season having as much fun as possible. Although Josie isn't really his "type", he finds her intriguing. Reed finds ways to insert himself into Josie's life, while encouraging her to be spontaneous. No more puzzles every night!

Quirky, adorable, funny, endearing...all words to describe Sawyer Bennett's latest Cold Fury novel. The Barbie nicknames were incredibly innovative and hilarious. Reed, so far, is my favorite Cold Fury player! Even though he was portrayed as a player, he had a kind heart. Josie was sassy, intelligent, sarcastic, caring, but also broken. Reed was able to slowly break down those walls to earn her loyalty and trust. I absolutely loved date night under the stars! Josie and Reed had so many layers to delve into, but it was so worth the time. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy from the author.

Reed was a fun addition to the Cold Fury series. I've read every book in this series, some I love and some I didn't. I have to admit that the beginning kind of turned me off of their love story, but I eventually got over it. The one thing I really liked about this story line is how Reed and Josie started out as just friends. I loved seeing the progression of their friendship slowly turning in to more. They were perfect for each other, the professional hockey player and the doctor. I also liked seeing a glimmer of the next book in the series. I always enjoy how each book in this series is standalone but you get to see previous and new characters with each story. If you enjoy this hockey series, then this book is a one not to be missed.

I really enjoyed this charming, friends to lovers romance. Reed Olson and ER Dr. Josie Ives are new neighbors. Their first meeting was a little rough but they soon became fast friends. Reed is looking for a summer of no cares and lots of women. That is until he meets Josie, who is feisty, funny and so not his type. But he can't stop thinking about her and soon she turns his world upside down. Josie had her heart broken years ago, and with her busy hospital schedule, she isn't looking for a relationship. But Reed shows her how to live in the moment, and have fun as he learns that just sitting with Josie, drinking beer and working on a puzzle, are the best times of his life. I really loved the witty banter, Reed's sweet gestures, and their smoking hot chemistry. There are a few bumps in the road along the way to their HEA that kept me totally engaged in this fast paced, sexy romance. This is the first book in this series that I've read, and I definitely want to check out the first 9 books!

I can’t believe this is the 10th book in this series! Every book just keeps getting better and better! I like that this book was a little bit different. It’s not hockey season but rather just after they have won another Stanley cup. Reed and Josie live in townhomes next to each other. Reed has been doing a lot of “dating” and his neighbor Josie likes to give him crap about his Barbie type of girls he “dates”. The two form a unique friendship that will eventually turn to friends with benefits. I really like the chemistry written between the two it was very well done. Some of the Cold Fury gang shows up and was fun to get an update on what was going on with them. Super good book and a great addition to the cold fury series. I highley recommend this book. And I must say I can’t wait to read Marek story!

Another winner and another favorite. If you never read any of Sawyer Bennett books, and you accidently came across this one, you will not be disappointed. You like Reed and Josie, from the start and they made quite the unlikely couple. Reed a celebrity hockey player and Josie, an ER doc who got too little sleep, thanks to him.
It had a little bit of everything from humor and Barbies to Steaminess and you'll enjoy every minute of it.
So if and when you get a chance, pick up a copy and enjoy.

This is the 10th book in the cold fury series but it can be read as a standalone,
oh read how I love him, it's off season and reed is after some different action so he sets out to find a "barbie" lookalike according to Josie to be with.
I loved Josie and reed so much they make me swoon, laugh and cry all at once.
I volunteered to read a copy of this book

Loved loved loved Reed and Josie!! Their relationship started in the funniest way ever and from there a very genuine friendship that turned into more.

Josie is an ER doctor and Reed is a famous hockey player that has never had a relationship. Josie is married to her job. All of that changes the day she finally meets her neighbor that parades a strings of Barbies every day. It was so funny. Reed started noticing her after she yelled at him and from then he was intrigued. She was nothing like the women he’s use to “dating”. He made sure Josie loosened up a little. Then things changed between them. Their relationship was the best.

I liked that no one from Reed past interferes in their relationship. But someone from Josie’s past appears and Reed thinks he’s not enough for her. Who would’ve thought the sexy jock was insecure when it came to his “Doc”.

After Josie set him straight he got out of his head. I’m glad they weren’t apart long and loved how the book showed each growth in their relationship. Throw in two of his teammates and you’ll have a good read.

Reed and Josie's story is the perfect Cold Fury off season romance! I liked that this story wasn't all hot, hot, hot right from the beginning. Their relationship truly develops through the story and you're right there along for the ride.

Josie is Reed's new neighbor, and it's his flings which causes Josie to knock on his door. That's the beginning to their fun, romantic, and adorable relationship. Along the way, there's doubt and frustration, but it's a true test to their relationship.

Love Reed and Josie! Can't wait to hear more about them in Marek's story! Sawyer Bennett doesn't it again!

Reed Olson and Josie Ives’ first interaction could not have been more perfect in an ‘I can’t believe this is happening way.’ Reed’s in the midst of his off-season screw fest with his ‘Barbie Brigade’ when Josie, a spirited ER Doc and Reed’s neighbor, has a few choice words for Reed and the ‘Screaming Barbie’ that’s keeping her awake. From there, what follows is a mutually beneficial friendship that has both Reed and Josie attaching feelings to their casual arrangement.

I absolutley loved Josie. She’s sarcastic, intelligent, and honest and she calls Reed on his shit, which is a nice change of pace for Reed because he’s not used to anyone seeing past his built body and professional hockey player lifestyle. She’s a fantastic doctor and people are drawn to her simply because she’s sincere and unflappable.

Reed is the quintessential ‘player.’ The kind of guy who believes that one night stands are all he needs to be fulfilled, but he soon changes his perspective when Josie comes into his life and he can’t help but want to constantly be around her, on top of her and beneath her in every possible way.

Reed and Josie’s story is definitely light on the angst because even though they never really define what they are to each other, it’s clear that what they’ve developed is more than a casual arrangement and despite moments of self-doubt and overthinking, the fact that they can be truthful with one another and talk things through without overreacting, for the most part, allows them to workout any issues they have and realize that what they’ve built is everything they never knew they wanted and ultimately needed.

Reed is a sweet and steamy read that illustrates just how good a relationship can become when it’s built on a foundation of friendship and how looking outside of one’s ‘stereotypical’ type can result in finding someone who ‘gets’ him/her in every way, proving that it takes more than just physical attraction to create something that can withstand busy schedules, a bit of jealousy, a past relationship, and the buxom and beautiful ‘Barbie Brigade.’

4 Poison Apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)

Such a good book. Reed is the story of opposites attract. Josie is a doctor, and Reed is a hockey player. They shouldn't match up, but they do in this wonderful tale of lust, love, humor, self doubt, insecurities, and sexy times. Reed proves that underneath confidence some people have, there is always room for self doubt. Told in dual pov.

I do love the Cold Fury Series. Reed comes across as manwhore and you soon find out he really is kinda of sweet. I'll admit the dumb Barbie bimbo lines kept me laughing. Meeting his new neighbor Josie was a great start to a friendship between neighbors and grew into some sexy times for both. Josie is an ER doctor and there comes a time when Reed really isn't sure he is good enough for her. I really loved how Josie was a strong women who knew when to fight for her man. I loved checking in on past Cold Fury members and waiting to see who will fall next!

I love nothing more than a Sawyer Bennett book! And her Cold Fury series gets better and better. Reed, the 10th book in this series (yes, it all can be a standalone), is one of my favorite. It's sweet, sexy and with little drama! Reed and Josie probably weren't the perfect match on paper, but together, they were hot with chemistry!

Reed Olson, a member of the Cold Fury team, is taking it easy during his off season. They've won back to back championships games and he's ready for some fun this summer. But when he meets his fiesty, sassy and cute next door neighbor, his summer plans change.

Dr. Josie Ives is a very busy ER doctor. And when her next door neighbor wakes her up in the middle of the night, with some loud banging and screaming between the walls--she's had enough. But she's more than surprised when the hot neighbor, Reed, answers the door.

Josie and Reed become neighborly and the more they spend time together, the more feelings for each other develop. But Reed thinks the smart doctor needs more in life than just a hockey player. Again, this book is sexy and fun and it leaves you hanging for more of Cold Fury men! Seriously, I need Marek's book now!

Wow; can't believe this is the 10th book in the Cold Fury series, however, you can jump in here as this book can definitely be read on a stand alone basis.

I really enjoyed this one and I think that Reed is up there as being one of my favorite stories from this series. It was a lovely sweet romance that was filled with plenty of humor and I found myself smiling and chuckling throughout. Refreshingly this story had very little drama and angst and I was able to read this one right through. The characters are great and had fantastic chemistry and their initial banter was utterly charming. I had no issues buying into the relationship that developed between these.

All in all, this was a solid, enjoyable read and I look forward to the next from this series.

I was provided with a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley; there was no inducement or obligation and I have opted to leave a review.
