Reviewed by JenBook provided by NetGslley for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookI had been hearing good things about this series for a while now and as a hockey fan, I was intrigued. So when I was asked to be on the tour for this title, I jumped at the chance and then went out and bought the first three books in the series so that I wasn’t starting in the middle. So after practically devouring the series, I started on Falling for the Backup.After finishing Empty Net, book three, I was kinda disappointed with where the series was going. You can read my review here. But basically, I was upset that after three books the characters seemed to be following a pattern that I wasn’t happy with. So, going into Falling for the Backup, I was hoping for something new. I’m happy to report that Ms Aleo delivered!Aynslee is a pretty normal woman. She’s well adjusted, has a good job and loving family. She just hasn’t found love. I think many people can relate to her… I know I could. Jordan, on the other hand, was injured on the job and the injury ended up being more than just physical. His pride and confidence took big hits as well.I enjoyed the twist that the woman was actually more aggressive in the relationship than the man. It’s not that Jordan is a beta male, it’s more than he’s in a confidence slump and his future is up in the air, so he’s not sure he wants to get involved even though he’s definitely interested. But Aynslee isn’t about to let the opportunity to pass her by.Ms Aleo packed a lot of action into this novella. I enjoyed the story and was sad for it to end… I just wanted more time with Aynslee and Jordan. A couple of the characters from past books make an appearance in this story, but it completely stands on its own.Hockey fans or those who enjoy sport themed romances should check out this series. I’m a fan!
