"Book Three Assassins series
Audrey Parker was unhappy with her life, she is just going through the motions at work, since she works in the family business it's not like she can tell her dad she hates her job, To make things worse she ends up alone at her sisters wedding, because of a fight with her jerk boyfriend. Audrey doesn't want to be jelious of her sister and her beautiful day, she is just sad she hasn't found her Prince Charming, so she ends up drowning her sorrows so much so that when she wakes the next morning she isn't alone.
Tate Odder ,a Swede picked up by the Assassins from their farm team in Florida, is an amazing goalie and loves his new team family. Lucas Brooks (the groom at the wedding) is Tate's best friend and so he attends Lucas and Fallon's wedding even though he doesn't know many people there. When he spots the beautiful, curvy brunette walk into the room he is instantly smitten. Tate finally works up the courage to go talk to her at the bar and pretty soon they end up back in his room having earth shattering sex.
When Audrey Wakes up next to Tate she doesn't even know his name but she needs to get the heck out of there. Through a series of coincidences Tate and Audrey meet again, and again. Audrey thinks she should just take a break from men after the mess with Levi, her ex that dumped her the day of the wedding, and Tate needs to prove that even though he is younger he is ready to make a commitment to Audrey.
This is a stand alone book and while you don't have to read books one and two to enjoy book three I would suggest that you do.
What can I say this book has it all its fantastic tale of romance, sex, love and happily ever afters and all the ups and down and work that goes into making that happily ever after happen. The main characters lives are intertwined with the secondary characters to the extent that you learn all about them as well. The story written in such a way you feel like you are part of the lives of Tate and Audrey. You cheer for them, ache for them, want to strangle them and Love them. We have ice melting hot sex, fights, make ups, misunderstandings and finally Audrey's Prince Charming and her happily ever after.
I give this book 5 cocktails I would add it to my bookshelf of books to re-read over and over again.

Really enjoy the Assassins series. This was another hot hockey player who had an emotional journey to find love. It was really great. :-)

This is by far my favorite book in the series. I loved Tate, I liked Audrey way more than Elli and Fallon, and I enjoyed the action at the end. The only reason this book is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the hockey inaccuracies. I am a hockey fan (go Devils!), and it was hard to suspend my disbelief for the hockey parts, like having the most perfect team ever with the best defenseman, forwards, and goalies in the league.
Also the overuse of the word cooter was really annoying. Who says that word to their doctor?

I *really* wanted to like this book more than I did. I'm noticing a trend with the books in this series and it's not a good one. All the male leads fall hard and fast when they meet their match. I suppose I could understand that happening. But for it to happen with a group of friends (or teammates as in this case)... so not likely. All the guys are hotter than should be allowed for one hockey team. And then the female leads.... holy crap do they have issues.
But let's focus on this story. Audrey has had major bad luck in the romance department. She's picked a bunch of losers, and her latest ex, Levi, is just horrid. And yet, she just can't seem to shake him. She goes back to him, leaves, and waffles for a good chunk of the story before she FINALLY has that lightbulb go off in her head that this dude is totally no good for her.
And then we have Tate, the rookie goalie for the Assassins... who happens to be about 8 years younger than Audrey. He has some issues (family dying in a car accident) that he's trying to work through. But his biggest problem is trying to make Audrey fall in love with him since he fell hard and fast.
Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the story. But, I did have some major issues with it. First, the editing was horrible. I don't know how many times I had to stop and re-read because a scene ended and a new one started without any sort of break (I mean, there was a new paragraph, but no other sort of line break or indication of a change in time or location). There were also lots of errors (ones that jumped out were "easy back oven" and "quit an ass".... oh and that doesn't even touch the fact that a secondary character's name changed halfway through the book (Coach Bacter was all the sudden Baxter).
But I just got very frustrated with the story. I think Ms Aleo could have played up Tate's issues a little more and backed off a little on Audrey. She was all over the place throughout the story while it almost seemed like Tate's issues were secondary.
Good parts of the story... past characters had some pretty big roles in this story. The hockey parts were great. Oh, and my emotions were engaged. In fact, I had to have a box of tissue next to me for the last part of the book as I couldn't stop crying.
I think Ms Aleo is a great story teller and look forward to reading future books in the series. I just hope that she mixes it up a little as I'm feeling like she's told the same story three times now with just some minor changes.

3.5 stars. Empty Net is a deliciously steamy romance that is sure to delight fans of the Assassins series. Toni Aleo will leave you eagerly awaiting Blue Line, Piper’s book! To read my review in its entirety, please click HERE.

Awesome. Toni Aleo's novels are growing on me. Funny, romantic, sexy and intense. Not to mention the holy hot hockey players! haha.
Her choice of music is killing me! In a good way, of course.
So for those of you who are hopeless romantic and still believes in HAPPILY EVER AFTER, go away and read the Assassins series.
P.S
Looking forward for the 4th book, which is Blue Lines.
Piper and Erik's story.

I said it before this is my second time listening to this series and this so far is my favourite of them all. Audrey in my opinion has low self esteem and fights her way to loving her self its amazing to listen to it happen. The age difference isn't that big at least not to me. Tate had his own demons to fight through to be with Audrey and I loved that he fought to get her. Makes my heart all warm and gooey inside. I did want to know more about that happens to Levi that would be nice. LOVED that we got to see Elli and Shea and Fallon and Lucas in this book as well I just <3 them! On to the next book!
