Elli
Fisher has never thought she was good enough, let it be her job, her
weight, her love life, nothing. That is until she meets Shea Adler.
After doing a promotional shoot for the NHL team, the Assassins, she
meets the hunky hockey player who shoots a puck, shattering her world.
Shea
Adler was tired of the life he was living outside of the rink. The
girls, the money blowing, the drinking, everything had to stop and it
all did when he met Eleanor Fisher. He had never met anyone like her.
She was feisty, witty, shy, and simply gorgeous. When he laid eyes on
her, it was as if he was taking the hardest hit of his life into the
boards, and he had to have her. Elli is a little skeptical of Shea, but
he knows that they were meant to be together, and he needed her in his
life.
Can Elli throw her insecurities out the window and love Shea
with everything inside of her, or will she let a past relationship, and
her family ruin any chance of her being happy.
My Thoughts on the Book
This
is a very sweet story about a girl learning to trust herself and the
man she falls in love with. It was very well done and Shea is wonderful
to Elli. I did find that it was longer then it needed to be, I don't
mind long books at all but this one did have a lot of pages of nothing
going on and not setting up for this story or the next. It might have
been a 5 star read for me if it was edited a bit more but I still cried
happy tears at the end so clearly I still loved it!
The
New York Times and USA Today bestselling Marked Men series continues
with this sizzling, sexy story of love, heartbreak, fate, and second
chances.
After the only girl he ever loved told him that he
would never be enough, Rowdy St. James knocked the Texas dust off his
boots and set out to live up to his nickname. A good ol’ boy looking for
good times and good friends, Rowdy refuses to take anything too
seriously, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Burned by love
once, he isn’t going to let himself trust a woman again. But that’s
before his new co-worker arrives, a ghost from the past who’s suddenly
making him question every lesson he ever learned.
Salem Cruz grew
up in house with too many rules and too little fun—a world of
unhappiness she couldn’t wait to forget. But one nice thing from
childhood has stayed with her; the memory of the sweet, blue-eyed boy
next door who’d been head over heels in love with her little sister.
Now,
fate and an old friend have brought her and Rowdy together, and Salem
is determined to show him that once upon a time he picked the wrong
sister. A mission that is working perfectly—until the one person that
ties them together appears, threatening to tear them apart for good.
My Thoughts on the Book
Could
not put down, cried a little and want to reread my favorite scenes
again and again. These are my top 3 reasons to give a book 5 stars and
this book should have 6! Rowdy might just be my favorite of the Marked
Men books but I might have said that about the last one and the one
before that. There are just something about these boys and their
family of friends that you just want to love and support as much as they
do. I also noted that Jay added a few more characters to the family in
this book it was brilliantly done with the right amount of care and
heart but with out taking over the Rowdy story line. I very much hope
this means we will have many more Marked books to come.
