Summary:
Definition of an Empty Net: When a team pulls the goalie for an extra attacker, desperately seeking a goal.
Audrey Parker was in a horrible place.
She hated her job, her sister was getting married and moving out, but worst of all, she was in love with a total jerk. No matter what she did, every guy she met hurt her. All she wanted was her happily ever after. Her Prince Charming. Her Lucas Brooks! She didn’t know how to change her life but she knew she needed too.
Feeling like she was about to hit rock bottom, Audrey wakes up next to Tate Odder.
Tate Odder had lost everything.
After being brought up from the Assassins’ farm team, the Florida Rays to the Nashville Assassins, Tate hopes he’ll forget everything he has lost. He doesn’t. Each day gets harder to live in a place he doesn’t know. Even being the first rookie goalie to shut out an opposing team three times during the Lord Stanley Cup Finals, he still felt empty. With the loss of his parents and sister still heavy on his heart, Tate isn’t sure how to live like everything is okay.
But when he wakes up beside Audrey Parker, things start to change. She turns his life upside down with her kooky sense of humor and her bright clothing. She is intelligent and beautiful, and for once, he doesn’t feel empty.
Will Audrey be the person to fill the holes in Tate’s heart, making him whole again?
Or will another player ruin everything, leaving him feeling forever like an empty net?

My Review:
I Love Love LOVE this books! They have become one of my favorite series and I loved every single aspect of them! Following Toni Aleo's now familiar writing style, Empty Net delivered a fantastic story. We met Audrey in Trying to Score. I really liked her, even if in the beginning she was a bit... pathetic? lol, not in a bad way, she was just fooled with the idea of loving someone and did some stupid things - like cleaning after the douchebag's mess. I felt really bad for her in this aspects, she deserved better things and she hadn't gotten any of them.
Audrey finds comfort for her broken heart with the sweet piano melodies her new neighbor plays (great music btw.) and also in a one night stand that didn't turn out quite as planned. Now let me introduce you to Tate Odder, I think he is my favorite guy in all the books! I had a huge crush on Shea Adler from Trying To Score but, it's just so many great men and it's really hard to choose. *Sigh* I'll definitely go with Tate, he loved Red-velvet and Ron Pope. Funny fact: Tate's ex-fiance and the girl that broke his heart has my first name x) I swear I would never dare to brake Tate's heart.
Tate and Audrey are, without a doubt, perfect for each other. Problem? Tate is 7 years younger than Audrey, and she isn't exactly comfortable with that, to say the least. But Tate is a mature, sweet man and a Sex God - Audrey definitely wants him, and he wants her.
I was a little bit afraid that Empty Net wouldn't deliver as the series ending, but it did. Even if the three books revolved around hokey players and a similar theme, they were all different and unique in their own ways. It never felt like a repetitive story or the same characters. Each one was very clear and their stories and conflicts were different.
Empty Net was fantastic, and I
Author Bio
I am a wife, mother, and hopeless romantic.I have been told I have anger issues, but I think it’s cause of my intense love for hockey!
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 daughters dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, and reading the latest romance novel.
I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, and did I mention I love hockey?
