Opposites do more than just attract in Toni
Aleo’s latest Nashville Assassins novel about a very bad boy and the good girl
he can’t resist.
The instant Piper Allen sees Erik Titov, she
wants him—wants his rock-hard body, sure, but the strength and mystery that
lies behind that superstar hockey jock demeanor, too. So when he sidles up to
her at a bar and slinks his arm around her waist, she’s lost. What follows is
the wildest night of her life . . . followed by inevitable heartbreak the next
morning. And then, a few weeks later, a very big surprise: two blue lines on a
pregnancy test.
Only a check to the head could make Erik fall for
a nice girl like Piper. But since their crazy-sexy night together, he’s been
trying to forget about her alluring body by falling into bed with every woman
in Nashville, and it’s not working. So when Piper shows up at his house with a
baby-bomb to drop, it doesn’t take much for Erik to suggest the nuclear option:
marriage. While it’s supposed to be all for show, the second they say “I do,”
the ice between them starts to melt into sizzling steam.
As with all my reviews on books of a series, please do not read if you haven't read the previous books. My reviews could contain spoilers for those books.
My take...
I have been waiting forever it seems for this
book to come out. Yes, from the moment I finished EMPTY NET I was a mess.I even
remember talking to a fellow blogger on the phone about what the hell was up
with the ending of EMPTY NET. Who was Piper's baby daddy. At the time we had no
idea and Aleo was Fort Knox with any indications. But as time passed and info
was given...I couldn't wait to see what Aleo had in store for us concerning
Piper and Erik.
The story was excellent. Even though some of the
fights these two had seemed repetitive, I still devoured it up quickly. Oh yeah,
the wait for this book was most definitely worth it. I was in a complete book
funk from my previous read, but this one quickly brought me out of it. Aleo's
sassy characters and saucy storyline was enough to have me smiling through the
entire read. And panting...cannot forget panting.
Erik is not my favorite of Toni's men...not even
close. This guy irked me from the start. I was so sick of his moaning of how
Piper had ruined his life and calling her names from the moment she told him.
As if it was all her fault in the first place that she got pregnant. Sure she
went about it all wrong in letting him know she was carrying his child, but
dude, it takes two to tango. Even though I didn't care much for him in the
beginning I ended up falling for him in the end. He really came around and I
couldn't help but throw my support behind him.
BLUE LINES is a fabulous read...a definite must
read if you are following the series. If you haven't picked up the others
before it...I recommend you do so. Each book is about a different couple, but
the others are always popping in and out of the books. So get the previous
books and get to know them all. You will be glad you did.
I loved this line in the book....
"Shea is a beast, Lucas, you know that. He is the Chuck Norris of baby making and life; you don't mess with Shea," Tate said with an awe look on his face.
