It took me nearly two months to read this. I can't say the story wasn't good, because it was. However, it did drag a bit to the point a good red pen was needed to get rid of extraneous material that wasn't needed.

I absolutely love all of Toni aleos stories, I don't know what brought me to her, but I think I've read everything she's written... I love Jordies story Bc it isn't perfect happily ever after, he's broken, but he's a fighter. He fights his addiction and Kacey, she's pretty cool. There were some frustrating parts with her, but thankfully everything got sorted out and they got their happy ever after, Bc they deserved it after their fight..

I didn’t think I’d like Kacey, but I really did. I think I found myself relating to her a lot more than I thought I would. I’m not some crazy strong athlete like she is. However, I am rough around the edges and tell it like it is. I love how out spoken she is. I don’t condone violence, but the fact that she’s willing to fight for her love, physically and emotionally is amazing.
I think Jordie’s story might be one of my favorites because of his growth as a person. I didn’t like him in Wanting to Forget. But I think that was the point of that novella. We had to see how awful he was. He was at his lowest and he needed to get his life together.
I think Toni Aleo focused addiction nicely. This is still a romance book, so she didn’t delve too much into it. However, I’m glad she emphasized that Jordie needed to be clean for him first. If someone doesn’t want to make the right decisions for themselves than it’ll only be more of challenge for them to do it with another.

I received an ARC for an honest review
HOLY SMOKES!!! I am just making it known now.. JORDIE IS MINE!! Wow.. Toni hits it out of the ball park yet again with this story. I laughed, I cried, I swore. This book had everything I wanted and needed and more!
Jordie is such a complex character. He is battling his demons and fighting for what he wants. He tries to get through it all and Kacey gives him as good as he gets. Mostly because he deserves it. Especially from her. But when they come together it is like wild fire. The chemistry and hotness between the two is scorching! Once Jordie finally gets to the right point, he is nothing but ice melting, heart stopping, sexy alpha. Kacey as much as she drove me bonkers at points, I couldn't fault her for them with everything that had happened. My heart broke during parts. Both for Kacey and for Jordie.
What I love about this book is the overflow of characters from past books in the series. Karson and Lacey make me laugh so hard sometimes as well as their parents. Karl is OMG hilarious. Reminds me of my own father. The book is to me very well written and flows amazingly. The research and effort spent by Toni about hockey and all the other heavy moments is bar none. If you love sexy alpha's, hockey and some kick ass women... this book series is a MUST!

Overtime is book 7 in the Assassins Series. I really enjoyed Overtime and can't wait to continue with the series. I loved Jordie and Kacey.

Not one of my favorites but still enjoyable. It just seems too long and was predictable in where the crisis moments would come from. I liked Jordie and Kacey was ok but a bit too whiny for me.
I did enjoy getting more of all the Assassins characters we have met previously and I’m sure I will continue with the series.

Oh, Jordie, Jordie, Jordie! *dreamy sigh!* Sorry, Jordie's pretty irresistible so I just had to take a moment to swoon over him for a bit. ;)
I've been smitten with Toni Aleo's Assassins series since book 1, and with Overtime being the 7th full-length book in the series, my love hasn't diminished at all...instead it's grown, and grown..and grown!!! I especially love getting to see my favourite characters in each book as new characters have their stories told!! I really just love seeing them all get their happy stories!!! I won't say endings though because I'm always happy to see more of them in future books! ;D
If you can't already tell, I absolutely LOVED Overtime! I loved that Jordie and Kacey have a history, and that their relationship is so complex, but most of all, I loved how passionate they were about each other. I loved how when it really mattered, their love for each other made them stronger and helped them push themselves to be better people! :D I also loved how passionate they were on their own. None of the other Assassin leading ladies have been big hockey players themselves, but it was pretty neat to see Kacey being just as extreme into hockey as Jordie was. :)
Jordie is probably the darkest main character out of all of the Assassins players yet. He has a troubled past, and he faces a lot of challenges in Overtime. I was frustrated with him for pushing Kacey away, just like she was, but I was also so proud of him for getting better. I loved seeing him face his past, his problems, and his issues head on. He really shaped up in and made changes in his life to be a better man, and it was wonderful to see. While Kacey didn't have to overcome nearly as many obstacles as Jordie did, she did have to overcome her insecurities and learn to communicate, especially when her pride got in the way. Once Jordie and Kacey finally started talking and working together it was so awesome to see their relationship bloom!
Overall, I loved Overtime! It was sexy, full of wonderful banter and teasing, and it was an absolute pleasure to read. When Kacey and Jordie reunite, they do it right, and you don't want to stop reading for a minute! I'd recommend Overtime, and the Assassins series to sports romance fans, but also to fans of romances that are complex, real, and take a little bit of work. Jordie and Kacey definitely aren't perfect, but they make they work together to keep their relationship strong, and they themselves become stronger because of it. If you haven't started this series yet, you really should, it's definitely one of my favourites! :D
