Blurb:
Elli Fisher has never thought
she was good enough, let it be her job, her weight, her love life, nothing.
That is until she meets Shea Adler. After doing a promotional shoot for the NHL
team, the Assassins, she meets the hunky hockey player who shoots a puck,
shattering her world.
Shea Adler was tired of the
life he was living outside of the rink. The girls, the money blowing, the
drinking, everything had to stop and it all did when he met Eleanor Fisher. He
had never met anyone like her. She was feisty, witty, shy, and simply gorgeous.
When he laid eyes on her, it was as if he was taking the hardest hit of his
life into the boards, and he had to have her. Elli is a little skeptical of
Shea, but he knows that they were meant to be together, and he needed her in
his life.
Can Elli throw her insecurities
out the window and love Shea with everything inside of her, or will she let a
past relationship, and her family ruin any chance of her being happy.

My Review:
I love hockey romance, and I
have no idea why I waited so long to try Toni Aleo’s Assassin series. This is
the first book and the series starts of strong. Shea Adler has easily become a
favorite hero of all time for me. He easily wins me over and I can definitely
see why Ellie Fisher falls in love with him, mostly because despite her
insecurities he doesn’t let her not fall in love with him. The man is super
determined and I love that about him.
The story builds up slowly and
simmers nicely and left me very satisfied when I finished. I wanted my own
Shea, and envied Ellie. I very much related to Ellie and some of her
insecurities and I definitely loved being able to have the fantasy of a very attractive
man like Shea sweeping a plain jane, at least in her eyes of her feet. Ms. Aleo
gives us a beautiful love story and I know I’ll be reading the rest of the
series and very possibly re reading this book.
I recommend this story for
lovers of strong hockey players who don’t let their women put themselves down
and know how to properly worship a woman. This is the story for any woman who
doesn’t think they deserve a hunky hero, because Ms. Aleo gives the fantasy
that it could happen and a perfect way to spend an evening.
