The Arizona Vengeance is killing it on the ice. But one player can’t seem to keep his eye on the puck—all thanks to the woman he just married to save her life.

“Find your next hockey hero in Sawyer Bennett’s Arizona Vengeance series.”—New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis

My name is Dax Monahan and hockey is my passion. And if you want to succeed in this sport you have to bust your ass 24/7. I’ve never had a hard time focusing on my career, but when my past comes knocking, no amount of training can prepare me for what lies on the other side of the door.

Regan Miles was always like a sister to me. When a shared tragedy brings us face to face after several years, I’m shocked to see just how much she’s changed. Gone is the shy, awkward little girl that always used to chase me and her brother around. Instead, I’m faced with a gorgeous woman who makes it damn hard to concentrate on anything but her.

Turns out, she’s in trouble, and the only way out is to get married.

I surprise myself when I tell her to marry me. Order her, actually. And most shocking of all, she doesn’t even hesitate before saying yes.

So it’s settled. We’re getting hitched and she’s moving to Arizona with me. All platonic, of course.

The catch?
I never knew I’d fall so hard for my best friend’s little sister.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Not only does the book have an amazing cover, but it also has a couple of my favorite tropes-- "friends-to-lovers" & "romance with the older brother's best friend". Without even blinking an eye Dax convinces Regan to marry him so that she would have his medical benefits to pay for her treatment. Will their marriage of convenience turn into the real thing?" ~ Patty, Wrapped Up In Reading

"The chemistry is great between Dax and Regan and I enjoyed the inner turmoil Dax was going through when he was feeling things he thought he shouldn't be feeling towards her. I don't want to give anything away but know that there are times that are hot and steamy and there were a couple of times I needed a tissue." ~ Nadine, Nadine is Obsessed with Books

"I really really really enjoyed this #Friends2Lovers tale. The characters just jumped off the page and made me feel like I was right there at the games and team parties. And I also love how the author touches on some serious topics and tugs on our heartstrings so beautifully as she lets her readers into the lives of the players." ~ Rosa, iScream Books

"I loved that Regan and Dax had known each other since they were children, and that their families had always been close. That just brought a level of real to their relationship, and it made me swoon a little harder. Their bedroom scenes were scorching, and as always, the Arizona Vengeance hockey players totally lived up to the hype!" ~ Lexxie, (un)Conventional Bookworms

"This series is by far eclipsing any other I have read by this author. This is the story of Dax and Regan. Brother's best friend, friends to lovers, hockey romance, and just a great read about two people who deserve to be happy together. " ~ Suzi, Obsessive Reading Disorder

"I adored the banter between Dax and his teammates, you can tell they're a close knit family and who watch over each other no matter the situation. Dax and Regan's sexual chemistry...whoa baby...H O T!!!! Although the theme of falling in love with the best sister is pretty popular these days, Sawyer put a spin to this story that separated it from other ones carrying this same subject matter." ~ Janett, Wrapped Up in Reading Book Blog

"At the end of Legend, we see Dax head to New York after his best friend is murdered, leaving his sister alone to navigate all the things. He was not planning on all of the things to include marrying his best friend's sister. Dax was amazing and Regan was the perfect heroine." ~ Kristin, Book Lovers Obsession

"This book pulls you right in. The story has laughs, pain, secrets, guilt, grief, and heartbreak.I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read. Can't wait for the other hockey players in this series to get their story." ~ Renee, Renee Entress's Blog

"Holy slapshot straight to my heart Sawyer! 5 infinity hockey sticks for this story! Meet Dax, whom you will fall in love with right off the bench! When his best friend is murdered in a robbery gone bad, he runs to New York to help out his friends sister, Regan. You will fall in love with these two, swooning all the way through their struggles." ~ Sharon, East Coast Book Chicks

"Dax is a wonderful combination of two of my favorite themes- sports romance and the marriage of convenience. We all know how this is going to turn out, it's just how the author takes us on the trip that makes the book enjoyable. The interactions between Dax and his teammates about love and marriage are perfect." ~ Sharon, I Mainline Fiction

"I adored these two! I loved following their progress from lifelong friends to lovers. I loved how Dax fought against the inevitable only for his alpha, possessive tendencies to rear their fierce heads and make him realise that Regan belongs with him and no one else." ~ Caroline, Reading, Willing, and Able

"I just love this series. It keeps getting better and better with each couple. This one was a little more emotional and I love friends to romance. But will they get out of their own way to find happiness together?" ~ Catherine, Cat's Guilty Pleasure

"Dax & Regan have known each other since birth. So when tragedy happens & Dax sees her for the first time as a woman he is awestruck & goes alpha protective on her. They have sizzling chemistry & a slow burning love. This is my first story by Sawyer Bennett and I will be back for more." ~ Elizabeth, Carolina Chic's Read

5.0 out of 5 stars Marriage of Convenience + Best Friend's Little Sister Trope Perfection
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2020

I am a sucker for the marriage-of-convenience and the best friend's little sister trope so Dax checks off all my boxes! Sawyer Bennett is one of my go-to authors for sweet, swoony, with lots of heart and just right amount of steam to make me grab an ice cold drink. It's no different with Dax--actually, Dax (along with Erik) is one of my top favorite in the series!

Dax's best friend Lance was killed in a mugging, leaving behind his younger sister Regan. Dax soon finds out that Lance had been paying large amounts of money to help with Regan's medication because she suffers from a serious illness. Now, with her brother dead and no work insurance to cover her treatment, the only option was for Dax and Regan to marry so she could be put under his.

Dax had always seen Regan as a little sister, but over the years she had blossomed into a beautiful and very smart woman. The attraction between Dax and Regan was instantaneous and they quickly act on it, but Dax felt tremendous guilt and feelings of inadequacy. Can their marriage of convenience turn into something more?

I love Dax and Regan together! Regan is this sweet and innocent girl, but she does have a backbone on her and more than a match for Dax, who is this big, sexy hockey player. They balance each other out and I love how their relationship evolved from friendship to love. They are so swoon! And the sex of course is HOT--I mean, we are talking about Sawyer Bennett here!

My favorite part of the series though is the close knit friendship between the Arizona Vengeance team. I love the found family aspect of the team, how they support each other and there's never any question that they each have each other's backs. I also love the sisterhood amongst their wives and girlfriends and how they easily welcomed Regan into the group. I also love the friendship between Regan and Dax's sister Willow.

I absolutely loved Dax and I read it solely via audiobook and it was a great time! Aiden Snow as Dax and Virginia Rose as Regan were perfect! They brought both characters to life and added much more to my enjoyment than if I was reading the book on my own. I highly recommend the audiobook! And I highly recommend the series as a whole, but if you don't have the time or inclination to start from book one, Dax can be read as a standalone.

This author writes sports romance, really well. I enjoyed Dax and Regan’s story, a brother’s best friend, friends to lovers Romance. I like how protective Dax is, and I love the strength of Regan.

This story is an example of how to move on from grief, and how to deal with hard things in life. People can live through a difficult situation and come out bigger and stronger. I really enjoy the characters in this series.

Dax is my new favorite Vengeance Star!!!

This was hands down the best in the Series to date in my opinion. This was more emotional but you don’t get so deep that it’s depressing. And, that is strongly due to our strong heroine, Reagan. This woman is exactly what you want in a leading lady.

Dax and Reagan are childhood friends. Reagan lost her parents as a teenager. Her big brother and Dax’s best friend Lance decides to raise his little sister. As we jump ahead several years Dax and Reagan have to deal with the aftermath of loosing Lance in a random mugging. If Reagan hasn’t had enough trauma in her life she finds out she has a rare blood disease. She’s coping and she’s alone. She was on her brother’s insurance and now that she doesn’t have it anymore she has no idea how she will get the medicine needed to treat her disease. Dax steps in to marry Reagan so she can be on his insurance to get the treatment. This is a marriage of necessity that turns into so much more.

“He made it so easy for me to let go and just grieve. I had been trying so hard to be strong and bear everything with dignity and grace, and in just a matter of moments, Dax let me fall apart. I know he would never let me completely shatter.”

I loved Reagan so much! She was the epitome of strength. When life kicks her to the ground she continues to keep getting back up.

This was a beautiful story that takes two people from friends to lovers all because of a common bond and the knowledge that no one is promised tomorrow.

“I can only conclude that I have loved her in some form or fashion her entire life, and that has led to the development of a different—deeper—type of love.”

Dax and Reagan had a sweet marriage of convenience story. There wasn't any conflict or drama in their story. The secret didn't end up being a secret because almost every time Dax talked to someone, he told the story.

The major thing they had to deal with was Reagan's disease. It sounded terrifying. I loved the way Dax stepped up to be Reagan's emotional and financial support.

After reading Legend's book, I thought Dax's might be more intense. He and Reagan ended up with their HEA. I am interested in both Tacker and Dominik's stories. I am hoping they are better than just ok.

I wanted an epilogue. :). Dax is the fifth book in Sawyer Bennet’s Arizona Vengeance series. I haven’t read any other books in this series and followed along just fine. Although now I want to go back and read them -read this whole series. I’m a big fan of hockey romance and really enjoyed this book. Dax and Regan are childhood friends and when he finds out she has a life-threatening illness with an insanely expensive medication that can help her he decides he’s going to marry her and put her in his insurance. Fraud? Who cares. A medicine shouldn’t cost nearly a half million dollars a year. But of course their friendship love grows into a stronger love. Dax is sweet, sexy and hits you in the feels without being too emotional. I loved how they learn to navigate Regan’s illness and their marriage together. Another great book by Sawyer Bennett.

Loved this one as well. This entire series has been great so far. I'm not sure how author Sawyer Bennett does it, but she makes every situation in her books understandable to the reader, as she has definitely done with this one. The emotions are grabbed again as we ride that roller coaster with every twist & turn, climb & drop we feel the drama, angst, sadness & heat. I really enjoyed watching playboy Dax fall hard for his best friends little sister, even though this book started out in a sad way. This book threw Dax headlong into the health & money issues of Reagan a life long friend & sister to his late best friend. It also threw him into a relationship that he never thought was possible. For Reagan the loss of her brother just recently has left her heartbroken & in a dangerously precarious situation with her health. It was enjoyable to watch life long friends fall hard & fast, as Dax & Reagan move their relationship from platonic to intimate. It was also great to see the follow ups with Bishop/Brooke, Erik/Blue, Legend/Pepper & Tacker. Definitely recommend this book & the series as well.

Loved this book.
Loved the storyline and the characters.
Absolutely adored Dax and his selflessness toward Regan. Loved how he started off just intending to help her but how they both progressed into something phenomenal with their love for each other.
This was a remarkable story of two childhood friends one of whom had a life threatening illness and how they coped and managed to have a beautiful life together.

Dax Monahan plays for the Arizona Vengeance and Regan Miles is his best friend's little sister. More accurately, he was best friends with her brother Lance, but Lance who was her only family has died. She has a potentially deadly disease and no longer has medical insurance to afford treatment since Lance’s death. The only person who knew about her disease until now was Lance. Dax decides that the only solution currently is for them to get married. She needs treatment to stay alive, and she needs insurance to get treatment, and she can get that immediately by marrying Dax. Regan needs help and he loves her just like she’s a sister so he knows he’s making the right decision. But Regan isn’t so little anymore, she a full grown woman these days and living together makes it impossible for the chemistry they have not to become physical. Dax isn’t looking for any kind of relationship but because there was love and care there before anything ever happened between them, this makes everything about what’s going on between them different and meaningful. And suddenly he’s falling for his wife hard...
