My name is Toni aleo and I'm a #PredHead, #sherrio, #potterhead, and part of the #familybusiness!

I am also a wife to my amazing husband, mother of a wrestler and a gymnast, and also a fur momma to Phoebe, Gaston el Papillon & Winston.

You can usually find me hollering for the whole Nashville Predators since I'll never give my heart to one player again. When I'm not in the gym getting swole, I'm usually writing, trying to make my dreams a reality or being a taxi for my kids. I'm obsessed with Harry Potter, Supernatural, Disney and anything that sparkles! I'm pretty sure I was Belle in a past life and if I could be on any show it would be supernatural so I can hunt with Sam and Dean.

Also, could I LOVE hockey anymore?

Yay! More Jordan and Aynslee! So happy we get to see into their future. PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE NOVELLA FIRST!!

Summary:
The epilogue shows us where Jordan Ryan and Aynslee Shaw are about six months after the ending of the Falling for the Backup novella. Jordan and Aynslee live in South Carolina and are just now moving into their new home. Their parents are meeting for the first time, both have good jobs, and they are blissfully happy. But is marriage ready to be brought to the table? Aynslee is more than ready, but Jordan seems to not be getting her hints. Lol.

Again, I loved Aynslee. Her bubbly personality is so captivating and she's fun. Jordan is the same sweet guy and hotter than ever, on and off the ice. Loved getting the real HEA and I'm hoping this means a new hockey series with all new, gorgeous men! <3

I loved this book couldn't put it down. Jordan Ryan is the back up golie for the Nashville Assassines but he's no longer happy because he wants to start, and now he's coming back home after talking to other teams that need a starter. Aynslee Shaw was coming home from her nieces wedding because of an emergency that she needed to take care of, and when she found her seat in the plane that happened to be next to Jordan she couldn't believe how handsome he was. They both felt a connection during their flight, but when it was time to go home Jordan just left her standing there and Aynslee couldn't understand why. After the third time they bumped into each othe Aynslee made her move before he left her standing again. Aynslee knew that Jordan was looking to be traded, but when she heard the news she was heart broken especially because Jordan never asked her to move with him.

I read this on Scribd.com as a preview of what the author’s work was like prior to dropping $13 on her books. The star rating says it all, it was an ok read. I wasn’t overly impressed, but I didn’t hate the story either. It basically wraps up the happily ever after in the novella of the same name. For an author’s third and a half outing, I expected to be more wowed than I was, due to the fact that you need to keep readers interested in your books. For me to have such a lackluster response to the book, tells me that the books really aren’t worth spending the $13 on. Maybe if they came up as freebies, then I’ll take a chance, but not really interested in them if I have to spend $3 a pop on them. I’ve gotten too burned recently to spend money on an author I have little reaction to.

I so liked Jordan and Anslyee in the last short story, was sad that they were leaving the Assassin's family, so I was excited to see that this story had more with them. With being so short we didn't get much, but what we did was good. I love that Anslyee kept up the tradition of signs for Jordan's games, love that they are fitting into their new home and their parents are getting along. But the best was the end, how Anslyee finally heard the question she had been waiting for.

I happened upon this a few minutes ago never realizing it was written and I must say I loved it. Ansylee and Jordan's story was the so sweet and steamy!! I loved it!!! The epilogue was great. It was awesome being able to see how they were progressing after leaving the Assassin's.

Thanks for giving this to your readers!!!

Toni never ceases to amaze me, each story she puts out is just as good as the last. Every couple weaves their way into your heart as much as the last. I love the Assassins and can't get enough of each and every one of them. I enjoyed catching up with Jordan and Ansylee again.

I wish that the epilogue would've been in the book because I don't have it on my kobo, it's just on a website on the computer. BUT....the epilogue was very good even though it was very short. So as not to give away the ending I'm only going to say that it is a recommend read.

This was a fantastic short! Jordan and Aynslee are the cutest couple. Thank you Toni Aleo for giving them a more perfect ending to their story. The Assassins will always be my #1 team but...GO ICECATS!!!

Un dulce y tierno serie para la historia de amor de Jordan y Aynslee. Y aunque me encanta que ellos lograron su "Felices por siempre" con el jugando en un nuevo equipo y su nueva vida juntos en Carolina del Sur, duele verlo lejos de su equipo.

I will admit to being hooked on this series and I really enjoyed Jordan and Anyslee's story in Falling For The Backup. But the epilogue was so good. I loved the fact that the story was out there and all I can really say is can we have a part 2 to the epilogue? I want to read more about them.

Short, sweet and a good read. It finished off this novella perfectly. Who is to say we can’t have a happy ending if that is what you want. It may not be in the same manner that you thought it would be but hey, it’s happy none the less.
