Rushing the Goal by Toni Aleo
5.0
HELP!!!! I need more stars. Five isn't even close to enough. I absolutely love everything that Toni has written. She has out done herself with Rushing the Goal. She has left me with many nights in my future where I dream of Benji.
Rushing the Goal is part of the Assassins Series about a Nashville Hockey team. Although every book can be read as a standalone the book packs more oomph if you know the secondary characters.
Case in point--Lucy. She is a very bitter, unhappy woman. Her only reason for being is Angie, a cute little girl that calls her mommy. Don't get me wrong, she has very good reasons for her bitterness, her anger, her lack of trust.
She is also the sister for three NHL brothers. Her brother Jayden plays for the assassins. They have been a big influence on Angie. She plays on a girls hockey team sponsored by the Assassins and coached by Shea Adler, retired Assassin Captain. When Jayden can't help the girls team he calls his fellow player, Benji, to take his place.
The best thing to ever happen to Lucy is meeting Benji. He knows what to say. He knows what to do. He knows how to act. He knows how to protect the ones he loves. He knows how to rush a goal on the ice and how to get the goal in life. He definitely knows how to get my heart pumping. (I just realized this would be a great how to manual on How to Get a Woman, or How to be a Real Men.
Lucy is so lucky to have Benji in her life even if she doesn't think she needs or wants him. She is definitely skittish. If anyone deserves a happily ever after it is Lucy. Benji is the man to give it to her and Angie. He will slay the dragon (ex husband, douchebag). He will rescue the princess (even if Lucy doesn't think she needs it).
The journey, the adventure, the love story is ingrained in my heart. A love story most girls can only dream of.
8/6/2019 the audiobook is very good. I laughed so hard at times I think I should have chosen a different book for my six hour drive.
