Spiked By Love - Toni Aleo




Friends to lovers hockey romance!


Spiked by Love by Toni Aleo is available now!
















Allison Titov and Asher Brooks have been best friends their whole lives. Brought up together as part of the Assassins family, they might as well be related. But… Ally has never felt anything sisterly toward Asher.
In love with Asher since she was a teen, Ally has gone pro at keeping her feelings a secret. It’s been easy…as long as he’s stayed halfway across the country at college and she has a volleyball to slap her frustrations out on. But now, he’s home. And having his quick wit, heart-filling laugh, and adorkable smile so close is going to test her like never before.


After being dumped by his fiancĂ©e, Asher is at a loss what to do next. He craves stability, but with an unexpected kiss, Ally might as well have spiked Asher in the face with a volleyball. Now he’s faced with the dilemma of his life. Does he keep Ally in the friend zone, or does he take the ultimate risk for love?


If they’ve learned one thing growing up in the glow of hockey greatness, it’s that you can’t win it all if you don’t play the game. And by serving one hell of an ace into the middle of Asher’s safe little life, Ally is ready to claim victory.


STANDALONE!

Spiked by Love is the sixth title in the Bellvue Bullies series, but has ties in with the Assassins, and Nashville Assassins: Next Generation series’.  For anyone familiar with Toni’s work you will be familiar with the characters of Allison Titov and Asher Brooks as they have both appeared as side characters in previous books, most recently in Power Play and Dump and Chase.   Ally’s parents are Harper Allen and Jakob Titov who feature heavily in other titles and their own story was told in One Timer.  Asher’s parents are Fallon Parker and Lucas Brooks who appeared in Trying to Score, and his brother Aiden Brooks had his romance told in Dump and Chase.  



The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to Ally and Asher.  Ally is very like her father Jakob, and is driven strong and prideful.  Whereas Asher is a sexy, funny, charming and slightly nerdy hero.  He’s also slightly neurotic when it comes to love and romance.  His parents had a complicated relationship and the ramification are still being felt by their children.



This title runs concurrent to Power Play and if you want to read Posey’s story I would highly recommend doing so before reading Spiked by Love as there are several spoilers.



I love how all of Toni Aleo’s titles tie in together and with each addition we get to catch up with past characters, it’s like revisiting old friends.



I thoroughly enjoyed Spiked By Love and will be eagerly awaiting Toni’s next release.
