Blissfully in love, professionally successful, happily married… They have everything they want—except a baby to make their family complete. On the eve of the birth of the baby they’re planning to adopt, Jude gets traded to another hockey team in another state, and their thoughtfully planned-out road to parenthood hits a speed bump. But they didn’t survive all the turmoil of their pasts to get knocked out now. This is their game seven, and they won’t accept anything less than a win for the family they’re destined to have. This is a STANDALONE romance in the BELLEVUE BULLIES Series. ****

Changing Lines by Toni Aleo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book #5, in the Bellevue Bullies series. This can be read as a standalone novel. For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order.

Jude loves Claire without a doubt. He wants her with or without children. Claire was meant to be a mom. She loves children and has great instincts. Not sure what will happen in the future, they get ready to move to a new team and location.

This short story is a great addition to the series, and to the characters. It was great to visit the Sinclair family again. Even in a small way this was a joy to read.

This is book #4, in the Bellevue Bullies series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this fantastic series in order.

Ryan is excited to get to the NHL and is working hard to get there.  Then he meets someone else just as dedicated but to her own sport.  He has to work a bit to convince her it is worth it, and maybe they really have a shot.

Sofia is all in when it comes to her future and her career.  Why should a guy like Ryan get in her way?  The attraction between them literally charges the room when they are in it together.  Her roommates brother is worth the chance, if she gives him one.

This was a sexy and sweet story.  I loved these characters together and their journey is so much fun to read.  This is a great addition to the series.  If you have been a fan of these hockey books all along - you're going to love the cameo's of some of the past characters.  I found this to be a great read.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Jude Sinclair here, hockey player for the Bellevue Bullies and lover of all ladies. Hockey’s in my blood, and not to sound full of myself, but I’m good at it…really good. The draft is within my reach—it’s mine to take—but that’s not the only reason people know my name. They know me because of my way with women. They know the score, and I aim to please. I just tend to stay away from repeat performances. In other words, I don’t do relationships beyond my family and friends. I’m happy with life. However, I should warn you that my story and how I see it playing out is about to change due to a certain redhead on campus.
She’s beautiful. Stunning. Breathtaking.
She’s my game changer.
***
He’s trouble from the moment I see him. I don’t know what I’m thinking, but from the moment I meet his gaze, I’m his. It’s a scary feeling.
I’ve never trusted anyone outside my aunt and uncle—and even that took months. I didn’t have it easy growing up. My mom was usually strung out, and she didn’t give me a second thought. Drugs and the men who paid her were more important to her. It was horrible, but I’m stronger today. Because of my past, security is what I need most. Money assures me that I can take care of myself today, tomorrow, and next month. I don’t want to ever be hungry or go without again, so I work hard for every penny.
Oh, by the way, I’m Claire Anderson. I’m a hard-studying sophomore at the University of Bellevue, dancer for the school dance team, and a burlesque dancer at a club, but that’s my secret.
You may think you know how our story ends, but you have no clue. It’s not easy falling in love… or living happily ever after. At first it may seem so, but when is anything worth having ever won without a fight?
Especially when you’re boarded by love.

 Toni Aleo scores a hat trick with the third book of the Bellevue Bullies’ Series Hooked by Love.  The story takes place in the youngest Sinclair brother, Jace’s, last year of college.  He is captain of his hockey team and expected to go first in the NHL draft.   The last thing on his agenda is to get serious about a girl.  That is until he meets Avery, a singer/songwriter and fellow student.

You can always count on Toni Aleo to include curtain things in her Bellevue Bullies and Assassins Series novels: heartfelt real-world issues, lovable characters, and great hockey scenes.  Hooked by Love did not disappoint. I absolutely loved this story.  The Sinclair family is the best.  I adore every one of them.  I love that the story is told in both Jace’s and Avery’s point of views.   The characters are well developed.  Jace and Avery both grow a lot throughout the story.  My heart broke for Avery and everything she endured.  There are so many unexpected surprises and an extraordinary plot.  I could not put this book down. 

While you could follow this book as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading the books in order.  You’ll have a greater appreciation for the bond of the family and some of the previous event that took place.  The Bellevue Bullies is a great choice for people that enjoy contemporary new adult sports romances that have emotional substance.
