Dump & Chase by Toni Aleo

The Dump was only the beginning. The Chase is worth waiting a lifetime for. Dump & Chase by Toni Aleo is available now!
 
 

Shelli Adler has known what she wanted since she was eleven years old. Aiden Brooks. But Aiden has always had other ideas. After spending the early years of his life without his dad, hockey legend Lucas Brooks, Aiden is determined not to settle for anything less than true love.

When he’s ready. Now he’s living the fast life of an NHL bachelor. He won’t give his heart to any one girl, but they can have his body—all night long. The party to celebrate the start of the second half of the season was supposed to be no different from any other night. And when a stunning stranger approaches him, he can’t seem to keep his hands off her.

The next morning, she’s gone, and he’s been traded to his dad’s former team, the Nashville Assassins. All of his professional dreams are coming true, but he can’t shake the memory of the girl from that last party. He wants to see her again. Though, after moving across the country—and without knowing her name—that dream seems like a puck destined to miss the net.

For Shelli, her night with Aiden was everything she’d ever imagined it could be, and she’s sure it is all about to change for them. But for that to happen…he would have to know who she was. The Dump was only the beginning. The Chase is worth waiting a lifetime for.

 
 

About the Author:

My name is Toni Aleo and I’m a total dork.
 
I am a wife, mother of two and a bulldog, and also a hopeless romantic.
 
I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena’s glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!
 
When my nose isn’t pressed against the glass, I enjoy going to my husband and son’s hockey games, my daughter’s dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and reading the latest romance novel.
 
I have a slight Disney and Harry Potter obsession, I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, I might have been a Disney Princess in a past life… probably Belle.
 
… and did I mention I love hockey?

This is book 1 in a new series about the Assassin Players kids. This is my second book by the author and I have never read any of the previous Assassin stories before. I found it easily stands alone and made me want to read those other stories.

This is the story about Hockey player Aiden whose father played on Shellis' mothers hockey team. He throws a HUGE party and Shelli has always had a crush on him even if she is way younger than him. She convinces her friend to set her up with Aiden and the two have lots of sex but he has no idea who she is, he thinks she is a call girl.

She leaves and never gives him her real name as she is pretty heart broken and leaving town to go back home to her family. Meanwhile Aiden is traded and guess who ends up seeing each other again. The two end up meeting again and that was my favorite scene in the whole book when Aiden realizes who Shelli is.

This was a really fun story and while I did not like the beginning. I kinda was grossed out by the call girl/sex scene and that Aiden does not like to wear condoms. But don't give up then because it get really better after that and I loved how Shelli makes Aiden work for it.

Another character I LOVED was Lucas Brooks as Aiden's dad. He sees how Aiden treats Shelli and I loved how he calls him on it. He was my 2nd favorite character next to the two main characters.
