Nico Merryweather loves women—all women. Sure, they’re sexy and fun. But “Player” is an easy reputation to hide behind, a way to keep the good times rolling and reality at bay. He’s loud, he’s cocky, he says exactly what he’s thinking, and people just laugh it off because they think they know him. But Nico makes sure no one is close enough to know the truth. With a new season starting, he is ready to play the game he can control. They’ll all be watching Nico, the goalie, but they’ll never know the man behind the mask who is just trying to breathe. He hasn’t ever wanted anyone close enough to him to see the truth, until Aviva rams herself into his ass. Literally.
Aviva Pearce’s life is a collection of bad days all wrapped up without a bow. If it can go wrong, it will. All she wants is to run her business, take care of her sister, and keep her head above water. But with a father who is out to ruin her like he has himself and debt trying to drown her, it’s hard to stay afloat. Aviva isn’t the type to waste time dwelling on her misfortunes or to give up, though. She’s got too much fight in her. And she definitely doesn’t have time to waste on the wildly sexy, rich, showboating goaltender everyone wants. She’s got goals.
What she doesn’t know is that Nico has goals of his own.
And she’s number one on his list.

Toni Aleo is one of my favorite sports romance authors. My all time favorite hockey series is her Assassin's series. I always enjoy her books, but it's been a while since she's had a 5 star hit for me. Wild Tendy is the book I've been waiting for. I did not expect Nico's book to hit me this hard, but man... it really did. I loved it so much!
Nico Merryweather is the goalie for the IceCats and a notorious ladies man. We first meet him in Chandler's book, then in Shelley's we see him again. I didn't know how I felt about Nico in those books. I mean, I liked him, but I wasn't sure how he would be as the hero of the story. He's a bit extra and a lot to handle at times, but the more you get to know him, the more you love him. He just needs to find the right girl.
"You need the kind of woman that is strong and can handle your extra-ness."
When he meets Aviva he knows he found that girl. The only problem? Aviva wants nothing to do with him. It's not Nico, it's men in general. She doesn't have time for them. She's barely breaking even after all her bills running her family business and raising her teenage sister. Her life is crazy busy and she's doesn't have time for any extra complications. But Nico is a hard man to say no to. Especially when he becomes chummy with Aviva's sister. It makes him even harder to resist.
With time, Aviva sees that Nico really does care for her and wants to make her life easier. She has not had an easy life and finds it hard to accept help, though. Nico has such a beautiful and giving soul, he just wants to make things better for her. It causes a bit of tension. Both Nico and Aviva have been through a lot. Hearing about both of their backstories and seeing where they are now was inspiring and beautiful.
This story was wonderful. I smiled, I laughed, and I cried like a baby through this book. A lot of the tears were happy, but some parts just hit me so hard. Nico is a one of a kind character who I adored. He's funny, sweet, and amazing just the way he is. Toni wrote him perfectly. And Aviva is one of the strongest heroines ever. She was stubborn and tough but she had to be. I loved watching Nico wear her down. When she finally let him in, she let him all in. I loved this couple together so much, and the family dynamic was everything. I think my favorite part was their relationship with Aviva's sister, Callie. I especially loved her and Nico together. Partners in crime.
This book was so special to me. I truly loved everything about it. If you're a fan of strong heroines, swoony heroes and sports romances, pick this one up! It was fantastic. I can't wait to read more from the IceCat's series and I'm hoping one day we get a Callie book because I love that girl!!

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?
