Spiked by Love by Toni Aleo

Friends to lovers hockey romance! Spiked by Love by Toni Aleo is available now!
 
 
 

ABOUT THE STORY

Allison Titov and Asher Brooks have been best friends their whole lives. Brought up together as part of the Assassins family, they might as well be related. But… Ally has never felt anything sisterly toward Asher.
 
In love with Asher since she was a teen, Ally has gone pro at keeping her feelings a secret. It’s been easy…as long as he’s stayed halfway across the country at college and she has a volleyball to slap her frustrations out on. But now, he’s home. And having his quick wit, heart-filling laugh, and adorkable smile so close is going to test her like never before. After being dumped by his fiancรฉe, Asher is at a loss what to do next.
 
 He craves stability, but with an unexpected kiss, Ally might as well have spiked Asher in the face with a volleyball. Now he’s faced with the dilemma of his life. Does he keep Ally in the friend zone, or does he take the ultimate risk for love? If they’ve learned one thing growing up in the glow of hockey greatness, it’s that you can’t win it all if you don’t play the game. And by serving one hell of an ace into the middle of Asher’s safe little life, Ally is ready to claim victory.

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 3 in the series about the hockey kids and this is Asher's story, he is Aiden's brother and he is paired with Alison Titon, who is Jakob's daughter. They are both best friends and have never had a romantic relationship largely because Asher has never shown an interest in Ali but everyone knows Ali loves him.

I am a new fan to this series, though I read Aiden/Shelley and Boone/Posey's stories but I never read the parents stories so the parents are pretty new characters to me. This book seems to stand alone as I was able to follow a long.

This is a bestfriends to lovers story but this story took a long time to get to the romance. One reason is that Asher dates Ali's roomie Angela and Ali goes back with her nasty ex, Taco. This is the first 50% of the book and I kinda hated this part of the story.

But after defending Ali these two finally get together but Asher was a character I had a hard time loving. For one his lust/romance with Ali is brand new and he is very up in the air about it. Ali has always loved Asher, she is in love and ready for more right away. She exhibits a lot more patience with him than I would have.

I like Alpha men and Asher is totally not that character. In fact he has tried to avoid too much feeling and love his whole life and Ali has to really drag him there. I loved the other two stories in this series much more but this was still a good story.
