Aiden

I love this series by Samantha Lind and I couldn’t wait to find out which handsome hockey player would win Tori’s heart. Her best friend Avery is madly in love with the Shockwaves team captain Ryker, and Tori was thrilled to see her friend so happy.

Tori was a newcomer to the world of hockey so when Avery asked her to accompany her to a post game get together she agreed because who wouldn’t want to spend time with some hunky hockey players after their big win? Tori heard Aiden before she saw him and his sexy voice gave her chills as their eyes met across the table. First impressions are everything and Tori was intrigued by his sexy smile, deep voice and fun personality. Aiden’s attraction to Tori was instantaneous and hopefully he could charm her into a date or at least an invitation to his next game. Aiden never lets an opportunity or hockey puck get past him and with the way he felt about Tori, he knew she was the woman he had always been waiting for.

Aiden and Tori’s chemistry lit up the room the night they met but could Tori trust her heart with the charismatic hockey player? Can their love connection withstand their hectic schedules, time spent apart and the pressure of dating a superstar athlete?

So this was my first book by this author. Aiden and Tori were meant for each other from the start. Brought into each others lives from their friends Avery and Ryker, these two decided to take it slow. I enjoyed the ride they were on. And man does Aiden know how to dirty talk! He’s the type of guy you want in your life that’s fore sure. This is part of a series, but I didn’t feel that they needed to be read in a certain order. We got to hear about Ryker and Avery and their love still. Just loved the storyline without any drama.

I received this ARC through the publisher and I am voluntarily reviewing this book, opinions are my own.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a really hot and sexy romance and I absolutely loved it. If you are looking for a sexy and flirty romance then this the book for you.

Based on the description of the book it sounds like it's a friends to lover's romance but it's so not. I would characterize it as insta lust/love within a sports romance between two people who have very high powered day jobs.

In this book we meet Aiden a hockey player who is more of a family guy and one who is more into a relationship. He meets Tori one night after a game when she and her best friend are visiting Ryker (teammate from the first book in the series RYKER) after a game. He asks her out but she thinks he is a player/playboy but he isn't. He asks for a shot and she asks him if they can take things slow. And so begins their relationship.

Tori is a VP of Marketing for a record producer for bands. She works a lot and is very dedicated to her job, bands and her work team. When she meets Aiden she is very much into him but asks to take things slow to make sure he is not a player.

I loved how the author took us through them getting to know each other and we get to come a long on their dates. Aiden is a total hottie, and he falls pretty hard and fast for Tori. Tori falls just as hard for him and I loved watching them get to know each other and also have lots of sex.

Be warned there are LOTS of sex scenes. The author definitely knows how to write hot and sexy scenes.
