Waiting on Wednesday | Garrett by Sawyer Bennett
Carolina Cold Fury star Garrett Samuelson never wants to miss out on a single minute of fun. Whether he’s playing hockey, hanging out with friends, or walking the red carpet with a new date on his arm, he lives every day to the fullest. When he meets Olivia Case, he sees someone who’s exactly his type—confident, sexy, smart . . . his next fling. But the more he pursues her, the more Garrett shares a side of himself that other women don’t normally get to see.
Olivia has been keeping a secret. While Garrett lives for the next thrill, Olivia’s not sure she’ll live to see the next day. She’s undergoing treatment for some serious medical issues, and she doesn’t have time for a relationship with no guarantees—especially one with a hot-as-sin womanizer who won’t take no for an answer. But as she gets to know the real Garrett, Olivia can’t help falling for him . . . hard. To reveal the truth would mean risking everything—but you can’t score without taking the tough shots.

Why am I looking forward to reading Garrett? When I read the first book, Alex, I really enjoyed the story and characters - Garrett being one of them. His personality was so different from Alex's that he immediately drew my attention. I can't wait to see how things work out for him when he meets Olivia. I love seeing the differences between the mask he shows the world and his true face when with the woman he loves. How will he change? Will they get a HEA? Or will secrets tear them apart? I'm just a sucker for a really good romance and Garrett has all the makings to fit that description.

Sawyer Bennett has a lot a great books. I would recommend any of them.
DeleteOkay my stupid phone just killed my comment and I have to write it again. Grrr...
ReplyDeleteI'm always a little bit embarrassed when I'm buying books with a sexy Cover because I always think these books should've a Cover that reflects more than ..... Pure Hotness :D but I will read this book because I'm a stupid little girly who loves romance. I'll get that under control but not anytime soon... :)
LOL! You could always buy them online, that helps curb any embarrassment I would feel buying books with "Pure Hotness" covers (<---I love that description, by the way).
DeleteInteresting pick :) I met this author at Edinburgh Author Event last year but I have never read anything by her yet. But she is on my "to-read-author" list so hopefully I get to reading her books soon.
ReplyDeleteI would love to meet her sometime! All the books I've read by her I've really liked.
DeleteCovers like that always make me wary, but the romance seems fun, I'll have to check it out :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm picking a book, I first look for a cover that draws my attention for some reason, and then I read the story to see if it's something that I would like. If a book doesn't have both of these, I probably won't read it. Although I will make an exception if I like a story but not the cover.
DeleteThis book is new to me. I have to admit when I saw the cover I was a bit wary but the short descriptions actually sounds really good. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my post!
El @ So Bookalicious
I look at cover first, but it's really the story of a book that is the deciding factor in whether I'll read it or not. In the case of Garrett, I had already read the first book in the series, so I already knew what kind of story it would be. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI haven't heard of this book before now! Sounds interesting! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe first book, Alex, was really good, so I'm hoping for the same with Garrett.Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI've never heard of these books, but I'm digging the covers, ha ha! Thanks for sharing! And thanks for visiting my WoW.
ReplyDeleteI like the covers, too! :) Thanks for visiting!
DeleteNever heard of this author before but it looks interesting. And I do love hockey:)
ReplyDeleteSawyer Bennett is a great author. I'm surprised a little at how many people haven't heard of her or her books.
DeleteHaven't heard of this one before, but whoa! Sexy cover! Thanks so much for stopping by my post earlier!
ReplyDeleteLike some said earlier, "Pure Hotness." Thanks for visiting!
DeleteOooh I think I need to check this one out! Love this author!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My WoW
Be sure to check out the first book Alex before reading this one. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteNever heard of this one. Looks good. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping Garrett is as good or better than Alex.
DeleteI haven't read any of Sawyer Bennett's, not my type of read but loving the cover. ;)
ReplyDeleteShe has a number of different kinds of stories, there may be another of her books you may be interested in. I love the cover too! :)
DeleteI haven't really been reading contemporary romance lately but this sounds like it might be interesting! I hope you enjoy it, thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteDenise @ Dandelionn Wine
I've been reading more contemporary lately, so that's one of the reasons I chose Garrett this week. Plus, I loved the first book Alex, so I wanted to continue the series.
DeleteSounds fascinating...but it sounds like one should read the previous book(s). Enjoy! And thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely read the first book Alex before reading this one. Garrett is introduced and you get a feel for his character in the first book.
DeleteI hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI hope so! :) Thanks for visiting!
DeleteSounds a bit different from the normal mold of complications in the romance genre. I hope you enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteAmethyst @ Gemstreet Reviews
It's a little different in some aspects to others, but also similar. But most books are like that. The always have at least one thing that sets them apart.
DeleteSounds very interesting, I haven't had the chance to read any of the books in the series though. I hope you enjoy it :) Thanks for stopping by my blog today :D
ReplyDeleteJackie @Jackie's Book World
If you're interested in reading Garrett, definitely check out Alex first.
DeleteI like reads like these to read before I go to sleep, they tend to be short and sweet and this one sounds like a good read. The naughty guy showing more of himself to someone who's going to keep him in line! Thanks for sharing Christina :)

The books in this series are a little bit longer than Sawyer's other books, but it's fast-paced so it doesn't take very long at all. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI have to confess that I haven't yet read any of Sawyer's books. Hopefully I'll rectify that soon!
ReplyDeleteYou really should! Sawyer has a lot of other great books, and I've really enjoyed all the one that I've read.
DeleteNever heard of this series before but it sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely check it out!
DeleteI have this and the first one from netgalley but I still haven't read either one but I will try and get round to them soon as they sound so good. Thanks for sharing and stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI love NetGalley! I don't think I've gotten Garrett from them. I'll have to check and see! Then I can read it sooner than I was expecting to. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteNever heard of this one but it sounds kinda cool. Thanks for sharing and stopping by my WoW!
