A review by trudyd
Clipped by Love by Toni Aleo

5.0

I hate to cry. It takes a lot to make my eyes glisten. Toni Aleo has the power to bring on the water works. If you read Book one, you know some of Jayden's history. How many can identify with his story-cheating father, devastated mother. Toni sucked me in with her portrayal of the protective, supportive son. She kept me interested with family dynamics, respect for women, concern for his hockey team, and unconditional love. Baylor's life's is completely different. She is the forced introvert, social dysfunctional, awesome with a hockey stick in a world of men. Everyday is a fight for survival, mentally and physically. Her main influence, her dad, ex-hockey professional, biggest supporter, and coach. A planned one night stand between Baylor and Jayden left them both dissatisfied and confused. But what does it matter?--one night stand. Baylor freaks when she discovers that she will soon be on his team. Jayden freaks when she appears. The captain him won't let her fail. The man in him want to finish what the started. The player in her can't afford distraction. The daughter in her won't disappoint. Jayden is a distraction that could destroy her future. The journey to true love is filled with strong emotions, many challenges, denial, and jealousy. There were times, I had to wonder if they would survive, if the would find away to succeed without destroying each other.
