Vaughn Johansson is the Nashville Assassins' star player. He's brash, cocky, and talented. And he isn't afraid to let anyone know it. He lives his life on his own terms, never forming romantic attachments, and only allowing his very closest to see his true, caring self.
Brie Soledad has the weight of the world on her shoulders. As the staff reporter for the Assassins, she balances her high-profile job and its heavy travel schedule with being the sole provider for her adult brother with Down syndrome. Sure, she'd like to find love. But who has time for that when there are bills to pay?
Brie has been the match to Vaughn's gasoline since the day she first held out her microphone to him. They strike sparks off each other, keeping their friends, the team, and the Assassins fans in stitches. Brie’s refusal to fawn over Vaughn sets his teeth on edge and his blood boiling. Especially in that body part...
Brie's been let down by love before, but she knows she deserves nothing less than real, forever love. Vaughn's past has left deep, hidden scars, and there are some secrets he cannot bear to reveal. As much as Brie wants him, Vaughn may be too big a risk for her wary heart to take. But he is at his best under pressure. When the delayed call is in effect and he has no choice but to score, Vaughn always delivers.

Christy's 4 star review:
There’s a thin line between love and hate…
Delayed Call is the 11th book in the Assassin’s series and it deals with one of my favorite troupes- those enemies to lovers couples! Yes, Vaughn and Brie despise each other. Vaughn is the cocky star of the Assassins, and Brie is their team reporter. They are constantly at each others throats, but it’s apparent they want each other. When they start to get to know each other and realize how much they have in common, their hate turns to tolerance. And their tolerance of one another turns into something more.
“I didn’t realize you liked anything about me.”“You’re growing on me.”“That’s good.” Her eyes sparkled.“Yeah?”“Yeah, ’cause you’ve grown on me, completely.”
Vaughn could be an ass to Brie, but he is truly a stand up guy. Once you see into his heart, you know it’s made of gold. I loved Brie as well. She was a take no crap heroine. Toni does a great job with writing those. I loved the bond the two of them shared, especially with Nate Way. It was so beautiful it brought me to tears more than once.
The banter between this couple was exceptional. It was so fun to see them go back and forth. Even when they got romantic and became a couple, they still had that fun and back and forth banter that left a smile on my face. And their chemistry… it was super hot!
Delayed Call is a fun, sexy, emotional read. This is one of my favorite sports romance series and I enjoyed it lots. I can’t wait for the next book in the series- I really hope it’s about Jensen and Wren! I also hope Wells gets a book in the future! I would love to see Toni write some m/m!
“I think I always knew you were the one.”

My name is Toni Aleo and I’m a total dork.
I am a wife, mother of two and a bulldog, and also a hopeless romantic.
I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena’s glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!
When my nose isn’t pressed against the glass, I enjoy going to my husband and son’s hockey games, my daughter’s dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and reading the latest romance novel.
I have a slight Disney and Harry Potter obsession, I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, I might have been a Disney Princess in a past life… probably Belle.
… and did I mention I love hockey?
