Falling for the Backup by Toni AleoMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
NetGalley free read
Although I still love Toni Aleo and all the characters in The Assassins series, this book felt rushed. There were a lot of grammatical and spelling errors as well. I'm hoping there will be a good editing push before the actual release date.
I loved Aynslee and her very open personality. She basically has to be the pursuer in her relationship with Jordan. Getting hurt and having his previous fiance leave him while he was rehabbing had to really bring his confidence down significantly, but this guy was going to walk away from everything they had and not open his mouth to say what he wanted and how he felt. He made me crazy. Aynslee had to tell him what she wanted from him and the relationship at every turn. Which was something I really liked about her. She was so in tune with her feelings, she didn't hold anything back even when it could smack her in the face or went against convention. But he needed to be a participant as well and I didn't like that he let her down a lot because of what he thought would either be her reaction or best for her.
I also didn't like to see anyone leaving the Assassins, but I guess that's what's needed to spin off into another team and other characters. I just wished it had been a little cleaner and maybe not a novella.
But, Toni still has my heart and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
