Empty Net by Toni Aleo

4.0

I'm a really big fan of Toni Aleo's Assassins series. Even though I don't understand everything in hockey, I love to watch it being played. Bonus for me, it takes place in my home city of Nashville.

I really enjoyed Empty Net and look forward to reading many more books in this series. I loved Tate Odder and thought he was a hottie from the very beginning. I liked Audrey both in this book and past books, but couldn't understand why she kept going back to Levi when he treated her so horribly. I wanted to punch him in the junk multiple times. I really wish she had listened to her brother-in-law Lucas sooner. That being said, I loved the romance between Tate and Audrey, even with the age difference. Personally I didn't see it as that big a deal, but could understand why Audrey thought it was a big deal in the beginning.

Tate and Audrey are a really great couple and I loved they were able to work through even the biggest of issues, even while making mistakes. I have to say I fell more in love with Tate (if possible) when he beat the holy crap out of Levi. Will say that part of the book had me wanting to punch someone while bawling my eyes out crying.

I loved the chemistry between Tate and Audrey. They are attracted to each other from their very first meeting in a bar. I love that Tate really courted Audrey and was initially willing to be just friends to keep her in his life. However, the chemistry between them was way too strong to resist and their love making was super hot. Must say I've actually come to expect many sexy scenes from Ms. Aleo and her Nashville Assassins books.
