***MISADVENTURES ARE STANDALONE ROMANCES THAT CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER***
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?
ARC received for an honest review
It is time for another dose of Ms Aleo's hockey hotties!
I haven't read any of the other Misadventures books, but don't despair, you don't need to have!
I won't lie, at first I really didn't think I was going to like Gus "The Bus" Persson and his cocky, arrogant ways. I am all for being sure of yourself, but he was just OTT and really quite annoying at first.
However not far into the book my opinions of him did change, and I couldn't help but adore him.
Bo for me went the opposite way. I liked her, liked that she didn't take any of his crap, liked that she wouldn't just jump in bed with him. However as the story progressed, I just wanted to shake some sense into her, wanted to tell her to stop being such a dumb-a$$ and to stop looking into the past. And her big bad secret, well it wasn't really a secret to the reader.
It makes it sound like I didn't like this story, but it couldn't be farther from the truth. I really did like the story, I just got completely frustrated with the characters a lot of the time.
However things did come around and I didn't want to wring either of their necks by the end!
I adored the uncertainty of their story in the world of the minors, never knowing where they could end up.
I laughed so hard at some of the events in this story. I don't want to give anything away but suffice to say I got the giggles.
Ms Aleo is one of my auto-one-click authors, and I very much enjoyed the chance to read an advanced copy of Misadventures With A Rookie.
I can't wait to see what she brings us next.

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,
My name is Toni Aleo and I’m a total dork. 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?
