In walks the photographer for the team photoshoot, and he’s smitten by a very real woman with very real issues. His twin sister is married and has two beautiful children and a very happy life he’s starting to envy. Or that it won’t be when he retires someday. We have Shea Adler, one of the premier defensemen for not just the team, but for the league, who is staring down 30 and realizing that a succession of one-night-stands with plastic Barbies might not be enough anymore. The thing my old hometown Chicago Blackhawks won recently was the Stanley Cup.Ībout the story. That may be the official name, but you almost never hear it. It did drive me a bit nuts that the Cup was almost always referred to as the Lord Stanley Cup. (There is an actual Nashville team, which surprised me, they’re the Nashville Predators.) But still, the story couldn’t be based on a real team. The Nashville Assassins are a Stanley Cup winning hockey team based, of course, in Nashville, Tennessee. Well, I can if it’s book 11, I just can’t if it’s book 3.5! If I know, I just can’t make myself do it. I hate starting series in the middle, even though I know that readers regularly pick things up without knowing there are previous books. I picked up Taking Shots (and book 3 in the series, Empty Net) from NetGalley because the novella, Falling for the Backup was sent to me to review for Library Journal. No matter how skeptical she is, Shea knows they are meant to be together-if only he can convince Elli to put her insecurities aside before she misses out on a shot at love. After laying eyes on this feisty, witty, beautiful woman, he feels like he’s just taken the hardest hit of his life. But everything changes when he meets Elli. Before Elli knows what’s happening, the gorgeous Shea breaks the ice and shatters her world.Ī brilliant athlete inside the rink, Shea Adler is tired of the life he’s living outside of it: the women, the money, the drinking. Until, that is, she meets Shea Adler on a promotional shoot for the NHL’s Nashville Assassins. After enduring years of abuse at the hands of an ex-boyfriend, Elli has been drifting through life in a daze. No matter how hard she tries, Elleanor Fisher never thinks she’s good enough, from her job to her weight to her love life.
