Back to some Toni Aleo -- Trying to Score

I've already described my love for Mrs. Aleo -- but I'll continue on to her second book Trying to Score. Insert mama bear Fallon.  I can't think of a better Mother's Day book then this one! Fallon works for her family's wine company as the head of marketing.  She went to Stanford for three years until she found out she was pregnant with Aiden.  She defies her father and family and is cut off from her family money, moves in with her sister, finishes school and works at her family company.  So who's the baby daddy?  None other then hockey star Lucas Brooks.  HOT MAN ON A STICK Lucas makes me want to scream like a twelve year old at a Justin Beiber concert!  

Wouldn't you know Lucas gets traded from the Sharks (located in California) to the Nashville Assassins.  In Lucas's defense he didn't know about Aiden.  Something happened between Lucas and Fallon before Fallon found out she was pregnant and Fallon just couldn't move on from it.  She knows she did wrong by Lucas by not telling him, but Lucas realizes just how much of a mess it would have been to be the father back then.... he has his secrets too.

So where do they go from here?  Let's just say Mrs. Aleo IS A MASTER AT HER CRAFT.  Sometimes you want to SCREAM at Fallon, other times you want to scream at them both.  But this book is a crazy romance and a huge rush. The passion between Fallon and Lucas does not fail to entice the readers!  Of course you have the uber rich athlete and back child support but Fallon and Lucas deal with real emotions that all of us as moms can relate too (and dads.... I guess I shouldn't leave out the male species and assume emotions are null and void for them too lol)

So you already know the answer to this one:  

To read or not to read?

READ IT!  Let's not forget to mention you meet the Webber's babies and stay in touch with the characters you have fallen for from book one as well!
