This story is very self-contained and takes place, for the most part, quite distant from the rest of the Pittsburgh Titans. With good reason. Ever since a plane crash killed all but a few players and the team had to rebuild, Coen has pushed everyone away. While survivor’s guilt is a very real and understandable thing, Coen was on a downward spiral that seemed to have its roots in more.
Coen has moved to a cabin in the woods in a small town. He’s enjoying his solitude and, while not ready to face his demons, he’s at least cleaning up his act a little bit. Then he gets a new neighbor and the sparks fly. Coen’s hair-trigger instinct to be a jerk is front and center when it comes to dealing with Tillie. But Tillie doesn’t suffer fools, or jerks, kindly. She gives as good as she gets and their little rivalry has some fun and turns.
As much as these two view the other as the enemy, they cannot stop thinking about the sparks that fly between them. What starts as an argument will quickly turn to a kiss, and neither can make sense of why they can’t stop. Then, as if he cannot help himself, Coen’s nice guy, the guy he was before the plane crash, starts seeping out. He may have a short fuse and not want to deal with people in general, but he also cannot stand to see people being jerks just for the joy of bullying. Soon, Tillie starts to get to know the real Coen and Coen starts opening up a little bit. In the meantime, they’ve called a truce and are burning up the sheets.
This story has fire, hope, love, friendship, and forgiveness. And while we don’t see a lot of the rest of the team, they make an appearance when it counts to keep Coen’s connection to them alive.

such a wonderful read!
Coen by Sawyer Bennett was such an amazing story, one laced with emotion and connection and self-discovery, one that offers deep insight into the depth of grief and the power of love, both of loving yourself and someone else.If you have read the Pittsburgh Titans series then you know Coen is one of the Lucky Three, one of three members of the team that were not on the team plane when it crashed. And yes though reading that is heavy, promise you this book and even this series does not read heavy. This is a testament to Bennett's talent!Coen has detached himself from his life, he is living in a cabin in the books, one he purchased from his current teammate Stone. Stone lost his brother, Brooks, in the plane crash and I also highly recommend this book but I disagree..... Coen purchases Brooks' cabin and is now just surviving.The purchase of this cabin puts Coen in the orbit of Tillie and her dream of an art studio tucked away in the woods. This part I am not going to dive into as it is so much fun to read, the banter, the attraction, and the in the end the depth of connection is amazing!I do want to make sure to say that I love the use of nature, it was almost it's own character in the book!This was such a wonderful read, one that reminded me why Sawyer Bennett is must read author for me!I am so EXCITED, did I mention I am excited for Drake!
