Kate might not have grown up with much but she doesn't let her lack of money get her down. Or anything else really. She always has a smile on her face. She's been working her way through school and this new nanny job is perfect for her. When Kate starts working for crabby and sinfully hot Zack, she makes it her mission to make him laugh and cheer up. Except developing feelings for her boss wasn't part of the plan.
This book and all the feels. Sigh. Zack is definitely my favorite of the Cold Fury Hockey series thus far. I knew going in that it was going to be emotional and heart breaking for me at times, which it absolutely was. Zack is emotionally having a really hard time following Gina's death and it is painful to watch (read). It also causes him to be a giant douche to Kate at times, making me itch to punch him in the throat. It is easy to forgive him though, most of the time.
Kate is absolutely adorable and so easy to love. She doesn't know her own beauty and dorky charm, then Zack awakens something inside of her she's been hiding for way too long. They are so good for one another, but Zack just can't see past his own issues (cue throat punch). In the end, it was worth every single tear. Sawyer Bennett once again does a stellar job of mixing humor, emotion and heat all into one story. I cannot wait for Ryker's book. I have a feeling that he may even top Zack.

Fuck it. Fuck the consequences. Fuck the cons. More important, I'm going upstairs to fuck Kate right now. |
"Tonight. Going to fuck you good." |
"It's our last night we can be as noisy as we want. Trying to figure out what's gonna make you scream the loudest." |
Fuck... fuck, that gets me right in the breastbone and I have to blink back tears quickly, because fucking hockey players do not cry. |
