My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
After serving as a dutiful bridesmaid in the wedding from hell, Aynslee Shaw just wants to slink home to Nashville and forget the whole trip. That is, until the hottest guy she’s ever seen is seated next to her on the flight and dazzles her with his easy laugh and killer smile. But just when she thinks things are getting good, he vanishes, leaving Aynslee wondering, was that guy the one? And did she just let him slip through her fingers?
Former superstar goalie Jordan Ryan is back on the ice—finally. After a crippling knee injury that had him wondering if he’d ever play pro hockey again, he’s got his full attention on rebuilding his career. So a pretty—okay, beautiful—girl on a plane shouldn’t be a distraction. But Jordan is very, very distracted. And when Aynslee crosses his path again, he’s not sure any job in the world is worth missing his second chance with a woman like her.
My Thoughts
Omg! I've been anticipating this book! First of all, I want to say A big thank you to NetGalley for giving me an ARC copy of this book!
I'm a big fan of Assassins series and was a little disappointed to find out this was going to be a short story... To be honest, I have a love and hate relationship with short stories, sometimes they are so rush that I tend to not feel any connection with the story and characters.. but in this book even though it's short, surprisingly it didn't feel so rushed or anything. I fell in love with the main characters and their story was perfect from the beginning til end. Toni Aleo did not disappoint me!
Jordan Ryan, the Assassin former goalie who turned backup due to his knee injury. He's emotionally and physically flawed. I'm all into alpha males but there is something with broken heroes that triggers my heart and couldn't help but love them too! Hot sexy alpha but a little insecure and shy! It's hard not to love this guy, specially when he becomes insecure of himself, I was a little frustrated with Jordan as he thinks he was not worthy of Aynslee. Now our heroine Aynslee is confident, witty, strong and knew what she wants and not afraid to get it! Aynslee is quite refreshing to read as she was the one doing the chasing! lol.
Falling for the Backup is a short sweet steamy read that you would love! I thoroughly enjoyed Jordan and Aynslee story and highly recommend this to anyone who likes reading sport romance book!
I cannot wait for the next book Blue Lines!!!
I received this book from Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
