Rushing the Goal Nashville Assassins Series Book 6 edition by Toni Aleo Literature Fiction eBooks

Toni Aleo always provides a full story for her readers. What I mean by that is, at the end of one of her novels, I never feel cheated. She creates robust stories with thick plot lines; that is a guarantee. Rushing the Goal is no different. I was excited to read this title because Benji sparked my interest in Overtime. After seeing how much of a good friend he was to Jordie, I yearned to know more about this steady, quiet man. I loved Benji in this book. He's complicated (and very sexy). I really, really enjoyed the way he reconciled with his past and appreciated how Aleo depicted his growth. I'm also a sucker for romances with developed children characters, and Angie endeared herself to me. As much as I wanted to fall in love with this story, I couldn't. I think that most-die hard Aleo fans will love this one, but there were three things I couldn't shake. Foremost, the book is incredibly long and drawn out, and while I typically don't mind longer novels, I think that the same story could have been told in half or two-thirds of the length. Secondly, while I agree that there are indeed deadbeat dads out there, the portrayal of Rick, Lucy's ex, too flat and one dimensional. He was 100% evil villain with absolutely no redeeming qualities. Contrast Rick's character to Mark's character, Lucy's father. Mark, also portrayed as a terrible father and husband, wasn't 100% evil. He was complex and multidimensional. You can see this in the way he cares for Angie and Lucy. I think that Aleo could have crafted a story with the same conclusion that didn't make Rick so flat. Rick's shortcomings as a husband and father could have been portrayed in a similar vain as Mark's were, in a more complicated manner. Lastly, Lucy was just a very off-putting character. Granted, she had been through a great deal, I totally understand. I don't think that all main characters have to be likable at all. However, I have to believe that, in a romance novel, the the main characters must have qualities that make them attractable to their counterparts. While I could understand why Lucy was attracted to Benji, I couldn't understand why he was attracted to her. All in all, this isn't a bad story at all. Aleo's fans will enjoy it for sure.

Rushing the Goal Nashville Assassins Series Book 6 edition by Toni Aleo Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I love the Assassins series. I love the Bellevue Bullies series. Toni Aleo writes some really fun characters and if you've read both of her hockey series then you will want to get this one too. Benji was quirky, dorky, adorable and awesome. Lucy was...well...she was tough, and annoying, and "strong" (yet cries every five minutes) so not my favorite heroine.... Angie (the daughter) was lovely and crazy and "wise beyond her years" Put them all together and there certainly was quite a bit of craziness and a heck of a lot of drama. Nothing new for a Toni Aleo book.

Because this is a crossover book, it became distracting with the amount of characters involved within this book. Lucy has 3 brothers (all with significant others) and divorced parents (with each of their significant others) an ex husband (with his daughter and significant other) THEN you have Benji's side full of Assassin players and all of their wives, kids, etc. It just became too much. As a fan of Aleo's, it was great to see those characters again, but I definitely wouldn't try to read this without reading the others because there are chapters that will difficult to read without a reference point.

I love Aleo. I do. She is quirky and fun and she writes about yummy hockey hunks! Maybe because I have read so much by her, I feel a little exhausted. The writing can be a bit scattered and sometimes the inner dialogue that both Lucy and Benji have with themselves can be too repetitive and that caused me to skim to dialogue-only pages. Also there seems to be 2 emotions that her characters feel love and hate. There isn't much middle ground. It becomes a little tough to read because you either have to really love the characters (they become unrealistic) or you have to really hate the characters (they become unrealistic). She sometimes just tries to push a character TOO FAR into the realm of unbelievably cruel or amazing. Just my opinion.

So I only rated this one 3 stars because it felt a little to harried at times and I think that there may have been too many characters to try including into 1 book. Aleo hooked me in with Taking Shots and I've purchased everything she's written ever since. This wasn't a deal-breaker, just not my favorite.
