Narration As Books Taking Shots (Nashville Assassins #1)
Elli Fisher has never thought she was good enough, let it be her job, her weight, her love life, nothing. That is until she meets Shea Adler. After doing a promotional shoot for the NHL team, the Assassins, she meets the hunky hockey player who shoots a puck, shattering her world. Shea Adler was tired of the life he was living outside of the rink. The girls, the money blowing, the drinking, everything had to stop and it all did when he met Eleanor Fisher. He had never met anyone like her. She was feisty, witty, shy, and simply gorgeous. When he laid eyes on her, it was as if he was taking the hardest hit of his life into the boards, and he had to have her. Elli is a little skeptical of Shea, but he knows that they were meant to be together, and he needed her in his life. Can Elli throw her insecurities out the window and love Shea with everything inside of her, or will she let a past relationship, and her family ruin any chance of her being happy.Details Based On Books Taking Shots (Nashville Assassins #1)

So I'll start by saying that I do not recommend this book because there was a lot of POINTLESS drama. I would never have read this book if I had known that this was what it would be like! I love hockey and couldn't wait to read this book, but in the end I was very, very disappointed.... During the book I came to really dislike Elli and could not connect with her at all... She was an annoying heroine and I just I wanted to slap her for most of the book. The annoying heroine was a kind ofDNF at 30%.

Ellis ghost from the past, her fears and insecurities that doesnt let
Not sure that I want to review this (and relive it) because it frustrated me so much...I was full of hope going into it. A sports romance? Hockey theme? I'm in! The fact that the author is a hockey fan and not just pretending? Even better. So what if she based the character of Shea Adler after the actual NHL Nashville Predator defenseman Shea Weber? I can live with that. At least he didn't actually look like him (I think). That would've been...weird.Shea?... I adored Shea. Apparently he was
***I received this book from Netgalley for my honest review***Horrible family members, a past illness and a crushing career disappointment has lead Ellie to believe she is not good enough. She has rebuilt her life but cannot help but still see herself as what she was. A pushover, fat and just totally ashamed of herself, even though none of these things were her fault. Shea Adler, highly successful, sexy, hockey player sees Elli for who she is and likes what he sees. But can he convince her that
