Overtime by Toni Aleo
Series: Assassins Series #7
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Down and out with an injury keeping him away from the game, Assassins’ defenseman Jordie Thomas lives for the blades of his skates on the ice and the feeling of oblivion off it. With no choice but to heal, he’s forced away from the sport that runs through his veins. With everything at stake and darkness setting in, he quickly finds himself spiraling even further out of control. As his life begins to come crashing down around him and his contract with the Nashville Assassins on the line, he’s given an ultimatum. Ready or not, Jordie is forced to face his past, the fears that consume him, and the one woman he let walk away.
Kacey King had her professional dreams come true, yet her heart was battered and broken. With an Olympic gold medal around her neck, she’s ready to look forward to the future but without the one man she wanted in it. She’s missing the key pieces of her heart she left months ago with the only person who was capable of destroying it, causing her to falter in all her plans to move on.
>In the game of life, there are winners and losers, and neither Jordie nor Kacey want to be on the losing bench. If only Jordie could convince Kacey he’s a changed man and that he wants her right by his side as his MVP for the biggest and best parts of a life they build together. With emotions running high and the game on the line, can two proud people find happiness with each other, or will their hearts and souls be left in the cold? Will they see that sometimes having someone by your side who knows the good, bad, and broken is better than going it alone and losing everything through the back of the net? They are out of time on the game clock and fighting for the win of their lives.
But overtime was made for an Assassin like Jordie.

When I first heard that Jordie was getting his own book I was very excited. I knew his story with Kacey would be epic! I loved it so much I had to read it twice before I started this review. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything in their journey to each other. When I first read about Jordie in Karson and Lacey's story I was not sure what to make of him. As I started to read more about him in Overtime I realized there was so much about Jordie to love and I know now how Karson could stick by him like he has. Jordie has been through a lot in his life, his choice to push the bad down and keep moving forward was honorable but was not a long term fix. He had to deal with the past to come to terms with his choices and be prepared for his future. I loved Kacey since I first met her in Karson and Lacey's story, she was a strong but caring woman. I admired her determination to win the Olympic gold medal as well as the rest of her life goals. Kacey was always able to see who Jordie could be, see the good in him even when he didn't see it himself. When Jordie broke her heart it made mine hurt for what Kacey had to be going through. It was an amazing ride with Jordie and Kacey to get to where they are on the same page and truly together but I loved the journey even if I was crying right along with them at times. This was such a strong story to read with the connection between the two of them as well as the challenges Jordie faced. I still wish he would let Kasey handle his mom but understand that Jordie had to deal with her. I have been recommending this one to all my friends who read and I love love loved it! Five stars!!!!
