Book Blurb:
In a captivating novel of second chances and healing hearts, the newest member of the Nashville Assassins pulls a power play to make things right with the one that got away.
Fallon Parker’s dream has always been to turn her family’s wine company into a runaway success and eventually start a cellar of her own. Since graduating from college, she has worked relentlessly to make that dream a reality, especially after taking a chance on love—and losing. By the time Fallon becomes an official sponsor of the Nashville Assassins, she feels like all her hard work is finally paying off. And then the man who broke her heart skates back into her life.
On the ice, Lucas Brooks is the NHL’s leading scorer—at least when he’s not in the box. Off the ice, he’s a mess, with all his anger and misery bottled up inside. He threw away the most important person in his life and has regretted it ever since. But when Lucas returns to Nashville in a trade, he’s determined to convince Fallon that he’s a changed man. The attraction is still there. The tension is electrifying. But the odds are stacked against them—especially after Lucas finds out that Fallon has been keeping a devastating secret.
Review:
5 stars!
Holy moley this was one HAWT book! It would have been even more steamy if Fallon didn't fight Lucas tooth and nail at every corner. And boy did she have enough reason to do so, Lucas made a HUMONGOUS MISTAKE that sometimes I don't think I could've ever forgiven him for, but there love was a once in a lifetime experience and Fallon would without a doubt be terribly lonely and regret pushing him away. In my opinion though I think Fallon's ways of pushing Lucas away was a little excessive. I guess it kept me on the edge of my couch, waiting for her to pick the love of her life over being alone for the rest of her life, so it still kept me hooked but also angry at the same time.
But back to what's really important...LUCAS and his serious sexiness on and off the rink. Of all the men of the Assassins (minus Shea-he is my all time favorite) Lucas is my second favorite. He is a young hot shot hockey player who is extremely sexy. He is sweet, loving, and supportive. When he finds out that Fallon and him had a child together, he didn't run, he fought for what he lost so many years before, only because he allowed his demons to eat him alive. But now he's there, healthy, the demons tamed and ready to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood. He also had the determination to fight for Fallon and the love they had shared and still hold close to their hearts.
One thing I love about Toni Aleo's male characters is that they fight so hard for the heroine that I feel like in real life there are not many men like that now-a-days or maybe I just haven't met the right kind of men. Out of all the men I think Lucas gets the prize though, he definitely had every reason to leave but he didn't lose faith in the love between him and Fallon.
This is one of the many great books from Toni Aleo's Assassins series. Her books are an amazingly fun experience that will keep you smiling for days after you finish one of them, they keep you hooked, and make you fall in love with the characters from the first second you meet them. So I recommend you to go out now and buy all of her books, you won't be disappointed and if you are you obviously have horrible reading tastes!
