Book review: PENN, by Sawyer Bennett


Pittsburg Titans #17

Penn & Mila

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was so looking forward to Penn Navarro’s story and the author didn’t disappoint!  He’s the best hockey player in the league, so getting him to play for the Titans was a major win.  However, he’s a jerk and a loner and it’s pretty apparent he has a huge chip on his shoulder. He rejects any friendly advance and keeps to himself.  The guys are frustrated because it affects their synergy, but leave him alone.

When a woman from his past appears, he rejects her calls for help until she convinces him of the gravity of the situation. Remembering how she was the only one on his side when a scandal broke out years ago, he agrees to help her, and thus causes a series of events to happen, not the least of which is that their chemistry goes nuclear.


I loved this story and loved Penn and Milla together.  Milla was brave in the past and is brave now, but totally fears for her safety.  Her story is sad, rejected by her parents and by Penn when she needed them most.  Penn is successful and rich, but very much alone.  


I loved seeing Milla shake Penn out of his bubble, make him open up and eventually realize that not all teammates are as treacherous as the ones of his youth.  I loved seeing all the Titans party together, the wives supporting Milla, and the guys supporting their teammate in his time of trouble. 


There’s a low thrum of suspense because there is someone who wants to harm Milla.  Penn thinks they need help and protection, so Jameson Force is brought in!  Now I got to see old friends from this series!  I love it when authors do crossovers and lets us see previous characters and how they are living their life.


The story has all the feels, love, fear, sex, friendship, suspense, and keeps you going on to find how it’s all resolved.  And what I love most of all? Penn’s opening up, to friends and to love.  It was everything I wanted and more!
