Spiked by Love


Friends to lovers hockey romance! Spiked by Love by Toni Aleo is available now!

Allison Titov and Asher Brooks have been best friends their whole lives. Brought up together as part of the Assassins family, they might as well be related. But… Ally has never felt anything sisterly toward Asher.
In love with Asher since she was a teen, Ally has gone pro at keeping her feelings a secret. It’s been easy…as long as he’s stayed halfway across the country at college and she has a volleyball to slap her frustrations out on. But now, he’s home. And having his quick wit, heart-filling laugh, and adorkable smile so close is going to test her like never before.
After being dumped by his fiancée, Asher is at a loss what to do next. He craves stability, but with an unexpected kiss, Ally might as well have spiked Asher in the face with a volleyball. Now he’s faced with the dilemma of his life. Does he keep Ally in the friend zone, or does he take the ultimate risk for love?
If they’ve learned one thing growing up in the glow of hockey greatness, it’s that you can’t win it all if you don’t play the game. And by serving one hell of an ace into the middle of Asher’s safe little life, Ally is ready to claim victory.



So much angst! And I loved it. Ally and Asher have been friends since they were kids and were as close as any two people can get. But they both have a secret that they never want to get out. Their feelings for one another. Neither want to mess up the friendship they have so instead they stay silent about their true feelings and just stay friends. But now that Asher is back home in Nashville and around Ally all the time, the line they don't want to cross is getting smaller and smaller.

Ally and Asher were so sweet together and I loved seeing how they were together. It was a friendship to be envious of and I really liked seeing it. I felt like I was holding my breath the entire time, waiting for one of them to finally make a move to be something more than friends but the wait was so worth it. It was fun to see them make the progression from friends to more, even though I was just about going crazy and screaming for them to finally do it. But the fact that their story had me that captivated was amazing.

Overall, this is definitely a recommended read for anyone that loves an angsty friends-to-lovers story. It can be read as a standalone but there is a lot of the Nashville Assassin family that's mentioned and it could maybe be a little confusing if you're not familiar with any of them.

About the Author:

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?
