Definition of an Empty Net: When a team pulls the goalie for an extra attacker, desperately seeking a goal. Audrey Parker was in a horrible place. She hated her job, her sister was getting married and moving out, but worst of all, she was in love with a total jerk. No matter what she did, every guy she met hurt her. All she wanted was her happily ever after. Her Prince Charming. Her Lucas Brooks! She didn’t know how to change her life but she knew she needed too. Feeling like she was about to hit rock bottom, Audrey wakes up next to Tate Odder. Tate Odder had lost everything. After being brought up from the Assassins’ farm team, the Florida Rays to the Nashville Assassins, Tate hopes he’ll forget everything he has lost. He doesn’t. Each day gets harder to live in a place he doesn’t know. Even being the first rookie goalie to shut out an opposing team three times during the Lord Stanley Cup Finals, he still felt empty. With the loss of his parents and sister still heavy on his heart, Tate isn’t sure how to live like everything is okay. But when he wakes up beside Audrey Parker, things start to change. She turns his life upside down with her kooky sense of humor and her bright clothing. She is intelligent and beautiful, and for once, he doesn’t feel empty. Will Audrey be the person to fill the holes in Tate’s heart, making him whole again? Or will another player ruin everything, leaving him feeling forever like an empty net?

Lets Meet the Author

Author Bio: I am a wife, mother, and hopeless romantic. I have been told I have anger issues, but I think it’s cause of my intense love for hockey! 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 daughters dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, and reading the latest romance novel. I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, and did I mention I love hockey?

Excerpt 

“I have to tell you,” she said with a shy grin, “It’s usually not this easy.” 
He looked down at her questionably, “Easy how?” 
“This easy to pick me up. I usually make guys work for it.”
He grinned and her smiled grew more, “So you want me too?”
She eyed him, her face bright with excitement. He may have been a little too forward but he was a blunt person, and hardly ever hid his feelings from anyone.
She moved closer, her eyes bright with lust as she said, “I do and I don’t even know you’re name.”
“Do you want to know it?” he asked with a cocky grin.
She moved in close, her wide brown eyes locked with his, “All I want to know is when you can leave? I have a room not even a mile from here.” “I have to tell you,” she said with a shy grin, “It’s usually not this easy.”

My Review

First Thoughts

I loved Taking the Shots and Trying to Score so of course I would love Empty Net!

My Thoughts

So I loved Empty Net, but that was expected because I’m so in love with Toni Aleo’s entire Assassin Series.   I just added Tate Odder to my swoon worthy, fangirling list.

Audrey Parker is getting closer to thirty and her life is nowhere near perfect. She has a job that she hates, but refuses to quit because she doesn’t want to disappoint her family. She has just been dumped by Levi, her boyfriend of almost a year, and even though he is a major jerk she still loves him and wants him back. Tate Odder is the newest member of the Assassin’s. He is originally from Sweden and moves away to get away from his past, one where he lost his entire family. The two of them just happen to be in the same place at the right time, and with a little alcohol and their mutual attraction they end up having a one night stand. One that Audrey definitely wants to forget about, But Tate can’t forget about her even though he doesn’t know her name. What they don’t know is that soon they won’t be able to forget each other, and that their life is going to get more interesting.

Ok on to the characters! I loved Tate and Audrey together. They were so cute and perfect for each other. Tate is possibly the most adorable man on the planet. When Audrey just sat back and let people mistreat her and was content with life, Tate let her know that she was amazing and needed to stand up for herself and live her life to please herself and not everyone else. Audrey even though I loved her she annoyed me a lot. I felt that she needed to stand up for herself more and I couldn’t stand any interaction she had with Levi. I mean how you could still have feelings for that Jerkoff after everything. Luckily she wised up and became more loveable has the story progressed.

Also the whole supporting cast was amazing!! I loved reading about my past loves from the first two books and reading about the lives and loves of what I can only assume is the future main cast of the up incoming Assassin books! Everyone brought their own personalities and opinions, and I loved them for it!

Overall, I loved this book! It had Loveable, relatable characters, a good supporting cast, delicious man and Hockey. Even though I’m not a fan of love at first sight after their initial encounter they build a relationship that firsts stats with friendship then leads to more.

Well, if you liked the first two books in the series than this book is definitely one to read, and if you’re new to the series than Welcome to Team Assassin’s. We have hot man!
