Publisher Description
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?
Misadventures is a romantic series of spicy standalone novels, each written or co-written by some of the best names in romance. The stories are scandalous, refreshing, and, of course, incredibly sexy. They’re the perfect bedside read, a ‘quick blush’ for the reader who loves a page-turning romance.
Customer Reviews
Very captivating!
I have not been captivated by a book in a very long time, I thought I was over my book obsession. But this book hooked me right off the bat and kept me wanting more. I fell absolutely in love with these lively, hilarious characters. I could honestly read about them day and night. Can not wait to read the other books this lovely author has written!
Misadventures with a rookie
It has a great story to it. I loved the ending but I do wish it would have ended knowing more.
Toni is no Rookie, she is THE BEST!
Soooooo, yeah...Every book of hers I read simply reminds me why she is my favorite author!
In this standalone, there is a beautifully delivered message about how it is important to not be too quick to judge others....And we all get to absorb that important message while laughing out lout way too many times, being aroused more than I like to admit (because, HELLO GUS THE BUS!!), crying over Bo's past (yup, gutted me), and being surprised every other page by something hilarious and completely unexpected. Bo's initial dislike of Gus and the way she slowly but surely lets her guards down is so well written. Toni Aleo has a way to leave us hanging as to why the characters are a certain way and believe me when I say that she is a master at making us FEEL for her characters. All in all, another book of Toni Aleo's makes its way in my top five reads for this year. Excellent book and my favorite in the Misadventures collection so far.
