Misadventures With A Rookie by Toni Aleo is the HOT HOCKEY romance you've been waiting for! AVAILABLE NOW!

Winning has always come naturally for stud ice hockey defenseman Gus “the Bus” Persson. On the ice or off, he’s never had any trouble scoring, racking up goals—and girls. As the best player in his rookie class and the number-one draft pick of the Malibu Suns, he’s taking his game to the next level and is justifiably full of swagger.

So why does one of the Suns’ ice girls treat him like he’s invisible?

Bo St. James doesn’t have time for rookie hotshots who think their gloves don’t stink. She knows them, she works with them, she trains them. It doesn’t matter that Gus Persson is the hottest newbie she’s ever seen. She knows his type. She’s got big plans of her own, and she’s not going to let some cocky rich kid athlete keep her from her goals.

But there’s a chemistry between them they cannot deny. A lust that burns so hot, it threatens to melt the very ice on which they make their livings. The game has changed for both of them. Together, can these two play to win?

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?

Review

Gus and Bo were the perfect couple. He fought so hard for a chance to prove to her that he was a good guy, but she had her walls up due to a horrible situation in her past. She tried to keep him at arms length, but she couldn't deny her feelings forever.

As they get to know each other, amid some funny circumstances that occur, sparks fly. But, they also realize that some truths v are harder to admit and accept. When his career starts to take off, just when she had started to let him in, will they be ripped apart?

Her mother, while well-meaning, was a piece of work. I was so glad when Bo finally stood up to her. I also liked how Bo made her true feelings known to Gus. I don't even have enough words to express how hard I fell for Gus. Another wonderful book from Ms. Aleo!
