Max by Sawyer Bennett Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The Carolina Cold Fury’s hot new star shows his bad-boy teammates that even nice guys can score big in this steamy hockey romance from the bestselling author of Ryker and Hawke (“Sexy, emotional, and fantastic!” —Sandi Lynn).

The ice is a cold mistress. As the league’s most eligible goalie, Max Fournier has access to his fair share of willing puck bunnies, but right now he’s more interested in bringing home another championship than a one-night stand. A romantic at heart, Max believes in love; he’s just not great at relationships. So when he finally meets a nice girl who’s not blinded by his celebrity, he’s feeling the heat—and the pressure to save her from herself.

Between working two jobs and raising her sister’s kids, Julianne Bradley doesn’t have time for sports—or men. All she knows about Max is that he’s the sexiest customer to ever grace her gas-station counter. And he sees past her tired eyes and makes Jules yearn for things she can’t have: a glamorous fling, a passionate lover, and the time to enjoy both. Max makes her feel like Cinderella, even though Jules has enough baggage to crush a glass slipper. Luckily, he’s no prince—only a fierce competitor determined to win her heart.

Favorite of the whole series. I loved this book. I thought the story line was really unique. There is the typical break-up and make-up portion present throughout the series, but the story line is still so unique that despite this repetition, it’s really enjoyable :)

Great Romance!. I've read the entire Cold Fury series and Max is definitely one of the best of the series. I think I liked this book so much because Max is just a plain old nice guy. He was honest and up front with Julianne while being mindful that she had more on her plate than she could deal with. Simply put, Max did not want to add to Julianne's burdens, he wanted to lighten them. To me, loving someone means you want them best for them, even if it is not always in your own best interest. Max showed that he cared enough about Julianne that he could wait and sacrifice to be a part of her life. Both characters were strong on their own, but stronger together which is why the romance was both believable and satisfying to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys sports romance, NA, general romance fans, and anyone who enjoys feel good reading. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I just love Max!!!!. Wow! I didn't think anyone would ever complete with Ryker being my favorite Cold Fury player, but Max is sure giving him a run for his money. Maybe I have a thing for goalies! ;) Max Fournier is trying to win the starting goalie position since Ryker announced his retirement. Max had the job until he got hurt but now that he is healthy he wants his position back. Max is tall, built and good looking but he also has a heart of gold. Max also has love for junk food! One night Max stops into a convenient store to buy his junk food and he's captivated by the cashier, Julianne. This first meeting was too funny! What those boys did that their sister was wrong, but so fun! Instantly Max is smitten and wants this lady in his life. Julianne "Jules" Bradley is having to take care of her two nephews and one niece ever since her sister passed away four months ago. Their father is not really in the picture so Jules is doing everything she can, including working two jobs, to raise these kids. She is beyond exhausted and the last thing she needs in her life is a guy, especially a very persistent one. I just loved how Max was with Jules and the kids. He is the dreamy guy every girl always longs for. Max always wanted to help Jules out but she was having a hard time accepting his help. I loved how he pushed her into her favorite down time passion! I just adored the path these two had taken to get to their happy ending. It was wonderful and perfect for them! I loved the way Max proposed too! Very clever! Awesome characters with a great story line! 5 star all the way!

Check it out!. This is a pretty good book

Love this series!!!. I love Max Fournier!!! He has got to be one of Sawyer Bennett's most put together hero's EVER!!!! And Jules, OH MY, that girl has so much on her plate but she is doing her very best to do what is right!!! I love a bad boy Alpha as much as the next reader but that's not what we get in this story. Which is not to say we don't get one hot, sexy Alpha, we do! He just happens to be one of the kindest, nicest, sweetest characters I've ever fallen for. Who says no one wants a nice guy? Definitely not me when it comes to Max!!!! I REALLY need a Max in my life!!!! This is another fantastic hit for Sawyer Bennett, a definite must read for all of her fans!!!

My new favorite in this series!!!!. Swoon.... omg Max.... I just loved this book!! Max is my favorite Cold Fury book hands down! Ok here we go... so Jules went from single care free living to insta mom of her nieces and nephews, working in a low paying job, she has to take on multiple jobs to be able to support herself and her niece and nephews after her sister passed away from cancer. While working at a convenience store and being harassed by a couple guys, Max steps in to save the day. They coincidentally meetup again at her primary job and Max decides he really wants Jules. Jules character is strong, she's broke and she's struggling- between the loss of her sister/best friend and becoming insta mom to her niece and nephews that she barely knows which was is up. She works like a dog to provide for the munchkins and still is a giving and caring person. When she ends up in Max's world, she gets a taste of the cattiness and jealousy and she tries to overlook it, but it does cause some strife, luckily though she doesn't have a real support system there are friends that help her see things clearly. This is a different spin on the proverbial Cinderella story. Jules character is believable, you see her struggles, she doesn't want hand outs and is a good person which I really liked seeing. Max is the modern day knight in shining armor. Swoops in and wants to take care of Jules, fix all her problems and give her the world. I wish there were men out there like him... I've gotten so used to books with assholey alpha males in the stories this was a refreshing change. Not saying he was passive, metro, feminine or anything of the sort. He was a take charge guy, that was caring, giving and didn't care that Jules had nothing and had a lot of baggage. And through it all was consistent and supportive. The book flowed nicely, the strife that always happens in romance books to me was sort of predictable but the outcomes ended up different then I expected. It's a fast read and hard to put down, definitely my favorite book in this series so far!!!!!

BORING. Contemporary Cinderella story that has no spark and is oh so predictable. Rich guy falls in love, wants to help a girl that needs it but she's too proud. I've read many like this before and I've got to say this was just plain average.

Fantastic. Every time I think I've found my favorite Cold Fury player, a new book is released and that changes! Currently Max definitely holds that role. I absolutely loved this story!! The relationship between Max and Jules just seems so real with all the caring, love and flaws that entails. The accepting way Max is with the kids warmed my heart just as Jules' story did. Even though Jules is currently overwhelmed by life in general and makes it clear that she has no time for men, Max doesn't give up. These two work so well together as long as Jules can ignore all the hassles that Max's fame brings with it. This is one you don't want to miss. I highly recommend it.

Max. I never pass up reading books from Sawyer. She always has a real story line. I have read the previous books. This is a bit better. Max is the goalie for the Cold Fury hockey team. He stops at the gas station for snacks and runs into two teens bothering Jules at the register. Max scares them away. He wants to meet her. Spoiler. Jules lost her sister and got to take her children, Annabelle, Levy and Rocco. She knows who he is and doesn't want anything from him. She is just making it but won't take help. It was fun to watch Max getting along with the kids. He really wants to help her. He gets her to come to games and then she gets dissed from the jealous "Puck Bunnies". It bothers her. Then on top of that is the father who abandoned the family and wants to get his kids back. Major Spoiler. This book will pull you right into the story. There is lots of emotions and action in the story. Stop and take a chance on this book. It is an adult read toward the end. It's your choice to read or not. Please give this book a chance. Enjoy! I volunteered to read and review this book.

Prince Charming.... At the beginning of this novel Jules is so determined to provide a good life for her niece and nephews. Her sister has recently died due to cancer and she now has three small kids to raise. She works two jobs, one not in a safe part of town. Jules also barters with friends to help provide childcare for the kids because she can't afford to pay for daycare. One night, while working at the convenience store, two drunk guys come in propositioning Jules. In walks Max, on a mission to buy junk food. He overhears the lewd remarks and comes to her rescue. After the men leave, he tries to engage Jules in small talk as he thinks she's intriguing and beautiful. Jules basically dismisses Max, just as two children burst out of the back room. Max follows Jules into the "office" to find a little girl who had been taped to the chair by her brothers. Even with knowing these kids are a little wild and are quite possibly Jules', Max finds himself drawn to her. He even goes back to the convenience store to find her. While doing a "promotion" for Cold Fury, Max spies Jules working at the nursing home. He follows her out to a bench and formally introduces himself. Jules doesn't realize who Max is, a professional hockey player, until googling him later. She can't imagine what he wants with a girl like herself. Max knows from the start that Jules is the one for him. Jules is a little slow on the uptake! Max continually gives his time, his money, and his heart. While Jules loves him, she allows self-doubt rule her world. She's struggling with two jobs, the kids, their deadbeat dad, and ruthless fans who thinks she's a gold digger. Max continually boosts her up, encouraging her to paint. Max sees the beauty in her art and knows she can make more money doing what she loves, while giving her more time with the kids. Max even takes the kids for outings so she can paint. Everything is going well, until Jules allows self-doubt to fester--almost ruining her relationship with Max. I absolutely loved this novel!!! This is the first Cold Fury novel I've read. I don't typically read a series out of order, but know that this one can be read as a stand alone novel. I recognized several of the players names as titles for the earlier novels and can't wait to go back to read them! I LOVE a good "rescue", prince riding in on his white horse to rescue his princess....I also enjoyed the detail depicting the life of a professional hockey player--the work outs, the healthy food intake, the fans, the road games, the required parties, and being away from your family for away games. Max loved Jules for who she was, regardless of what she brought along with her. I loved their witty banter and sexy scenes too! I highly recommend this novel, especially to all those sports enthusiasts out there. I read a gifted copy and all opinions expressed are my own.

My favorite of the Cold Fury series!. I have read all the Cold Fury books and this by far is my favorite. You can read this as a standalone, however, you would be missing out on a great series. I adore Max’s character. He is alpha and sexy, but he is so much more. He is romantic and has a tender side. He isn’t into one-night stands, he has relationships, even though he feels he isn’t good at them. When he is with a woman, even if it is for a month, he is into her and no one else. He gives them all his attention. He wants to share his life with someone that isn’t after him for his fame and fortune, but just for him. Julianne is a strong woman who has had a tough life. Her mom took off leaving her and her sister Melody with their dad, an over the road trucker that was hardly ever home. Her sister fell in love with a loser and moved away, until she was diagnosed with cancer. Julianne was with her sister until the end, as Melody’s loser husband took off. Melody had paper’s drawn up and gave Julianne custody of her three children, Rocco, Levy and Annabelle, as her husband signed away his rights. Julianne works two jobs, helps clean another woman’s apartment and cooks for them in exchange for babysitting while Julianne works. She loves her niece and nephews and is devoted to them. She wants them to have all the love she didn’t receive as a child. She’s so busy with her jobs and the kids that she doesn’t have time for a man and a relationship, until Max Fournier walks into the convenience store and changes her life. Max had to chase her. She didn’t make it easy on him. She couldn’t figure out why he even wanted her! This story has a Cinderella type of feel, but it’s so much more. Julianne is a proud woman and would never take advantage of Max’s fame and doesn’t want to be a part of it. Max wants her and tries to get her to loosen up and give up hold of her structured life and let him help her. There are so many things that go on in the story. At times my heart was in my throat. I felt so bad for Julianne and Max and their struggles. I felt hope and joy. I won’t tell you anymore, as you need to experience this beautiful love story for yourself. If you love sports romance and a touching love story, then this is the book for you. I highly recommend it.

Hello MAX! 💋. What a great book sweet, sexy and funny! 😍❤️

Enchanting. I received an advanced reader's copy in exchange for a fair review for Cocktails and Books. This is an enchanting story of a woman struggling to get by when she meets her knight in shining armor. Max Fournier is the goalie for the Carolina Cold Fury hockey team and he is attracted to Julianne Bradley when he first meets her in a convenience store. Julianne works there as a cashier and she doesn't recognize Max and has no idea is a famous hockey player. Julieanne doesn't flirt or show any interest in Max and he likes the challenge of trying to win her. As Max gets to know Julianne, he is filled with admiration for her. Julianne is raising her niece and nephews all by herself. She is hardworking and loyal to those she cares about and I thought it was sweet that she worries about taking advantage of Max. I admire everything about Max; he is a kind, sympathetic, down to earth, nice guy. Julianne likes Max but has a hard time believing he wants to take on the responsibility of not only her, but her nieces and nephews, too. I fell in love with both Max and Julianne. They make a great couple and have explosive chemistry. Julianne is cautious and afraid to accept Max’s help. Julianne is so busy it is difficult for them to find time to be alone but they somehow make their relationship work. Max is the perfect boyfriend. The problem is, he is so thoughtful and nice Julianne has a hard time believing he is for real. This is the sixth book in the Cold Fury Hockey series and is a standalone. I am happy many of the characters from previous books in this series were included because it was fun catching up with them.

Sweet. So touching. Several ah moments.

Loved It!. OMG! Holy Hockey sticks, Max Fournier is Insanely Sweet, Hot, Witty and a Romantic at heart. He is the total package! Loved Max and Jules story! They were made for each other. This is a combination Sports/Cinderella story that you will not want to put down. But that goes without saying for any Sawyer Bennett story for me. Whenever I start a new Sawyer Bennett book I know I will not be disappointed. Her stories seem to constantly, set new standards getting better and better. This will totally leave you breathless. Such a heartwarming and beautiful story about two beautiful people inside and out, bringing light to others from the kindness of their hearts. Max is definitely a treasure you don’t want to miss. Loved it! Highly Recommended! Received a ARC through NetGalley and voluntarily agreed to post an honest review.

MAX. The best player and person on the Cold Fury team is Max. He and Jules make this series richer in depth and worth continuing to read.

One of my favorite book series. First off, I'd like to say that I love this whole series so much. I have devoured ever single book thus far. That being said, I felt that this addition was lacking a little bit. All other books in the series give the title male character a lot of depth and back story. This one felt more like a book about Jules than a book about Max and the continuation of the Cold Fury saga. While I still enjoyed it very much I was left wanting a little more.

Cinderella story. The story was fine. I like hockey romances and have enjoyed the Cold Fury series. What I didn't enjoy was the 235 f-bombs in a 268 page book. It seemed excessive, often several of them appearing on the same page. Perhaps the author could locate a thesaurus and discover some new words.

Max, Carolina Cold Fury. This book is a beautiful and sweet love story. Max, Jules and the kids just grabbed my heart! There was one time I wanted to shake Jules but she came around. Max, what can I say...best book boyfriend ever!
